Hail to thee, Refurbia...

Sometimes I think shelter animal names are purposefully devised to be as terrible as possible, but then I see goon puppy threads where the new owners ditch the awesome names they were given for something like Lady. :mad:

She does have a couple disadvantages too, like being unable/unwilling to get into a box that is vertically oriented. She was checking it out all timidly when I first brought it upstairs so I knocked it over so she could get into it.

Also, she makes a hell of a lot of noise cramming herself into a box like that because she more or less orients herself sideways to the box and flops into it, then claws around trying to sit up. It's so pathetically adorable.

Now you're going to have to prove it with a video. :colbert:

You should try baby wipes for the next round (they make pet wipes, but they're the same thing for twice the price), they clean just as well without all the struggling. I use them on my cats, who have a weird knack for just getting schmutz on their tails or legs. They're both really fluffy, too, so baths are a miserable, if hilarious, ordeal.

And then I realized today is payday.

I work at an airport, where people are assholes and sometimes dump cats when they go on vacation. We find people to take the kittens if they're not too feral, otherwise we have this place snip them. There are two neutered males who are spoiled rotten by the employees who bring them food now.

Hahaha, oh jeez, that's almost kind of terrifying. Should make a thread in GBS: Put your cat in a box.

You don't have to put cats in boxes. You just put a box somewhere and they get in.

Refurb just needs a little help is all.

Aww, as a special birthday treat, Refurb kindly let Tycho use his own bed. Well, a bit of it, anyway.

Tycho makes wonderful goofy faces. So does Refurb, but I think Tycho is the expert.

Bit late to the party here. My postcard was almost lost, as it was accidentally delivered to the neighbors one street up who have the exact street address for some reason. They were pretty bemused when they dropped by to give to me several days later ( :argh:

), but I thanked them and said it was for charity.

These were the best pics I could get, as Riley was highly uncooperative. Couldn't get him to even look at the camera.

"This is not a treat."

The compromise:

I put a floof (see YOSPOS thread and Sadie for reference) in my cat's mouth when he did it once. His reaction was "oh, okay, whatever" and he walked off with it like it was his idea.

She was still stubthumpin'. I dunno if she'll ever stop, but she at least seems to know that when she wants her head scratched, she can just jump on my lap.

Screwed around with that slow-mo stairs GIF I posted last week, I thought it came out kinda cool.

Also no longer 13MB.

Perfect for Halloween.

Seems like she'd make a lot of noise bumping up the stairs, but then I guess she makes a lot of noise anyway.

I imagine Refurb is talking endlessly about nothing, like a drunk or stoner, while Tycho goes "uh-huh, sure, that's really deep."

Somehow get both Tycho and Refurb to tolerate Refurb riding on his back, and then tell people Tycho is a service dog for the disabled.

My cat will go into the stairwell, where the sound carries the best, and yowl when he a) wants food b) wants me out of bed c) just pooped or d) because he feels like it.

Cats are jerks.
