Visited my folks for the 4th, including our now elderly cat. His tail isn't as short as it looks, it's just curled up under him.

My family's cat had to be put to sleep today.  He was 18, and we gave him a good life. Farewell, you dumb but affectionate goofball.

Jerusalem posted:Yeah, they get to sleep all day, come and go as they please, and there's some big booming figure stomping around who feeds them, cleans up after them and pets them whenever the feel like getting attention. Hope Looney (official name Lun Tha, my mother names all our cats after characters from plays) keeps his catnip mouse with him. He was never much for playing with toys, but we got him a catnip mouse when he was a kitten and he kept playing with it to his dying day. 18 is very elderly for a cat, so I'm not too sad. It's always hard, but he had a good, long life.

No Pun Intended posted:Is this a just a cat thing; or specifically a black cat thing? Harold (my resident black cat) loves to sit on any bag he can get his fat butt on to. Definitely just a cat thing. The actual explanation is that bags tend to be things you carry outside the house, and therefore they smell strange and different to the cat. Sitting on them and rubbing themselves over the things makes them smell like the cat and therefore their property.

veedubfreak posted:Any cat with the snuggle gene is a good cat. My dad was a constant "cat hater" until my mom brought home a tiny little calico and her default position is "lap", now my dad can't get rid of her. Sounds like my family's old cat. Never quite a lap cat, but my dad hated the critters until the doofus decided that the back of my dad's computer chair was his new favorite spot and gave my dad a warm, furry headrest whenever he'd sit down to play Civilization or WoW.

Tendai posted:Dumb cats are the best. Kiska is as dumb as a box of rocks but she loves everyone and wants to be their friend. I don't remember, are you fostering these guys or keeping them permanently? Because drat it would be hard to give them up, look at those fuzzy little shitheads My family's house has a screened and secured back porch that our cats like to use. It's separated from the rest of the house by sliding glass doors. Growing up, we had a cat that my mom named Lun Tha after a character in a play she liked. The first day we let him out onto the porch (with supervision), he eventually decided to come back inside. He did not realize there were sliding glass doors, and ran headlong into the closed door. While we were busy cracking up, he backed up... and ran into the door again. And then did it a third time before we opened the door for him. We had him checked out by the vet afterwards and he was fine, but he was henceforth Looney for the rest of his life.

Tendai posted:Ahahahaha yeah Kiska did that a few times (the last being this summer, she isn't a bright cat) when she'd see her mortal enemy, Little Black Cat, out the front door and I guess not realize it wasn't open and just BONK. Within six months of me getting her she'd developed a weird love of chewing wood and at one point I got to make an emergency call to the vet to say "Um, my cat just swallowed a piece of our firewood, it's not very big. Should I be worried?" which was fun. She has no concept of how her back legs work and about 75% of the time she'll circle in your lap like a dog till you just kind of push her over onto her side and she seems to go "Oh, yeah, that worked" so now I think I've trained her that that's how lying down happen. Looney was a good cat. Very dim, but he had a habit of sitting down on your feet if you stood still for a few minutes and looking up at you expectantly. He wasn't much of a lap cat, but he loved to drape himself over the armrest or back of an occupied chair. He passed away last year, sadly, at the age of eighteen. I'm at work, unfortunately, so I can't post a picture of the doofus until I get home.

As promised here's Looney now that I'm home from work. He's not actually a tripod or bobtail, his other leg and half his tail are folded up under him.

Tendai posted:Just picking out a DVD to watch, huh? My cat Looney, who I posted a page or two ago, also weighed in at much heavier than normal for his breed. He wasn't flabby or lean, though, he was just a very solid, very inflexible brick of a cat. A ridiculous fluff-monster, but when we had him shaved it turns out he really wasn't as big as he seemed. Just... solid.

Looney would eat as much as we let him. Putting him on a diet due to the cost of food did not seem to change his weight at all.

Size, ear tufts, and paws suggest a Main Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, or mix favoring one of those. Congratulations on your giant teddy bear.
