You see a meticulously produced C shaped dent on the corner of ground beef you've left on the counter for defrosting, unprotected because you've forgotten you have a cat

Minish is my first and only cat since I found her as stray kitten. I regret terribly not having adopted her street buddy who got lost from the neighborhood (hopefully adopted) at age 1, after they reunited for the summer at the summerhouse, running crazy on the roofs. At the time I took minish...

Minish follows directions if I give the ones she will do anyway :). Of course she gives me directions too (come to kitchen, open cat food cabinet, open balcony door, wake up)

Minish doesn't jump on my feet but she strategically lays down at the corridor. Where she can see both living room and the way to the kitchen. She sometimes does this light pat on my foot as I pass. I take it as a "hey, what's up?" and telling she's up to playing together if I want. When I say...

After an hour of sunbathing she just melted

Fantasy like those that resemble real life and history but not quite so. Even better with a humor twist like Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams but I don't have the talent for humor :oops:

Ambush is the best of all cat moves :sunshine:

Minish is now 7. She mostly sleeps and she is so hard to engage in play, which I believe is the best part of being with a cat, that when she gets the crazies I fill with joy and have my zoomies alongside her

Beetlejuice. I was a kid when I watched maybe 10 times on VHS. In my 20s I learned it wasTim Button's. I've been in love with whatever he makes ever since. In my 30s I learned it was Harry Belafonte in the soundtrack. I've loved his songs ever since. Thank you @AbbysMom for reminding us of those...

I have been pre-diabetic as far as I can remember. I was always overweight and it's like chicken or eggs problem. insulin resistance and weight they trigger each other. With the Pandemic it got worse. I ate bad and moved less, so I'm trying to get back in order. What you need is an insulin...

Overworked, can't think o_O

A cat is a forever baby whose language is something we don't always understand. But they certainly give us points for trying. Even if you can't find out what she wants, as long as you attend to her, she will be fine. Sometimes minish stares at me from across the room for half an hour. Normally...

Little devil knows. She prefers to bite bare skin and bites especially hard over clothing if I'm wearing a sweater. She doesn't know that unlike her fur, this fur has holes through which her incisors can pass Luckily she prefers other games so it's not an issue for us

I'm thinking of minish. I'm away for the weekend and we have been together longer than usual since I work from home most days. We have this rhythm of she napping, I on the computer, giving breaks of balcony time, hide and seek time, arguing about the appropriate time and portion sizes for her...

I concur that it's your attention he wants. I was in your situation when minish was kitten. She was my first cat and I had to come up with a lot of ways to exhaust her and redirect her focus on less destructive paths. Your cat is hyperactive meaning perpetual kittenhood. Although it's...

You can try different wet foods (flavors and brands). Minish, who gobbles up almost anything does not even come close to some wet foods despite the ingredients look great. Or you can try some boiled chicken, cooked fish etc And calorie need differs a lot for each cat. Observe your cat for about...

Minish is shorthair. She likes her head and neck brushed but won't tolerate lower body brushing. When I catch her around naptime, 3 headstrokes, 2 body strokes, 2 head, 1 body and I get the warning. So I brush her every chance I get, for about 15 seconds each

The cat is definitely happier with you. But this doesn't mean he is an awful cat parent. Maybe she is skittish of men, some pets develop fear towards all men if they were abused once before. She was already three when adopted. Bear hugs hardly count as abuse, my boyfriend teases minish everyday...

I can't do pedicure or leave out the equipment with minish around. she attacks nail files. First I thought it was a shiny metal thing for her, but cutlery, mail opener.. Completely safe. She is weirder with the electric thingy. She gets revved up when I'm using the equipment, and when I turn it...

Generally, you can check for these indicators for better dry food: If first few ingredients are real meat (written as beef, chicken liver.. Etc) instead of what they call "meal", it's better If it's grain free, it's better (but they put peas and potatoes instead of maize, so not ideal but I...
