Went through some of these cat vids and this one is really good. 2x silent chirps + 2x Gohan chirps (cat's name is Gohan) + purrs and food. A must see. I don't know what type of breed Gohan is but he purrs like a normal cat.

Even better, gohan can just mean "food" so she is asking him "Food?" and he is answering "yeah". :3:

He ended up just laying there, inviting belly rubs. I did not fall for the trap.

Pausenkatzen = intermission cats

intermission to show cats = Katzenpause

so i visited the parents this past weekend for father's day, which let's be honest was more about seeing their 3 legged catte than it was about anything else


he greets me when I come in now rather than run away scared like he used to. he still "brings" me to his room so i can pette him there, though


fell asleep mid petting session


my parents' bed, his 2nd most favorite place to sleep. please understand that my mom previously would not allow so much as a jacket to be gently placed upon the bed

i never grew up with a pet because as my parents said "you can't even take care of your slovenly self, you're going to take care of an animal???" and as such we never knew the awesomeness of pet ownership, though my dad secretly kept his desire for a catte inside him (my grandma kept strays in their apartment and he loved them except for the time one of them gave birth in his winter jacket and his mom made him go to school in said jacket the same day).

so my mom being a hard-rear end i knew the only way to reel her in was 1) giving the catte as a gift to dad so she can't say poo poo and 2) giving my dad a disabled catte so if my mom rejected him, she'd feel like human filth

you can guess how well things have turned out since 2 years later this is his literal bedroom:


this used to be my bedroom. now it's the cattes. instead of hip hop posters and bideo games it's photographs of other random cattes my parents find at garage sales and issues of cat fancy strewn about.


a bedroom that belonged to a 6'3" 18 year old. now a cat's :catstare:

one thing i forgot to mention is at like 6 am he makes these really tiny "test" meows to see if my parents are awake. like just loud enough so that they can hear it if they are awake but not loud enough to wake them up. a catte that's self-aware :3:

edit: can anyone looking at the pics i posted tell me if it looks painful that you can kind of see his bare skin? like the bone is right there, and I am worried he's in constant pain or something, though I doubt it since the only time he cries is when he accidentally jumps off the bed and lands on his stump :(

No, he looks fine. It is a little weird looking I know, but they manage very well at 75% leg capacity. You'd cry too if you landed on the end of your wrist without your hand to distribute the force :)

No I totally understand why he'd cry when accidentally landing on it. I was just worried he's constantly in some slight amount of pain just because it almost looks like the skin is being pulled. I am just paranoid I'm sure.

If he were in pain he probably would be hiding, not eating, lethargic, aggressive, or any combination of those. I'm sure he's fine :)
