You can really see how tiny he is under all that floof!


Now you have to use the floof to create a back-up toaster. :science:

I could potentially make two toasters, there was so much floof.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Six years ago today, I brought Oscar home from the shelter



I don't have a picture yet from today but he's pretty much exactly the same in every observable way. I suspect he's sleeping in one of the bedrooms and the last time I went in there to verify that I woke him up and he yelled at me so you'll just have to take my word for it.

It has a little velcro pouch on the back for adding catnip. We didn't realize that there was already some included and Luci went absolutely bonkers apeshit when she first caught it. She has some incredible hops already!

an informative notation for your appreciation
please please give me your cat training tips

Beauden has been with us for a couple of months now and is just not learning some things - like staying off kitchen surfaces, not climbing on the hob, and not waiting for us to dish out his food

some of them could be genuinely dangerous. we’ve been pretty consistent at just putting him on the floor/saying no/hissing noise but it’s not making a dent. he bit me yesterday because he bum rushed his food bowl and didn’t wait for me to take my hand out.

I don’t want to resort to spray bottles, but positive reinforcement isn’t an option because he’s never NOT on or in the process of climbing on surfaces when I’m cooking or dishing up cat food

help

I decided a long time ago with my kitty that spray bottle was pretty much only for “climbing something you’re not supposed to be climbing” or “something permanently destructive”, only used it while the behavior was immediately happening, and tried to keep them from seeing me be the one spray then and it worked fantastically

They've had at least one meal together, at least.

she hated her prescription food so i think she just ate enough to stay alive, and it made her poo poo her rear end off constantly anyways

we moved her to some food last week that's high-calorie/fat and she's ravenous for it. gonna start adding a supplement to it that should help even more. she's got more energy and sass than she's had for a while, and we're hoping that the bladder issues that put her on the old diet in the first place are better. FWIW, the vet sees no issues with her other than she's too small.

Milly's labs came back and she has hyper-thyroidism. At least she's a teddy bear and easy to pill...twice a day forever. She just turned 8 and we caught it super early so things looking pretty positive.
