The Humane Society sent home this little stuffed cat toy when we adopted Refurb back in 2012:



Well, we found it while moving furniture a couple weekends ago



It's amazing how much her coat has improved in under three years. She really is a beautiful cat.

I'm still just figuring things out at this point. That night in particular I got some footage of the moon to practice stacking frames.



Jupiter's been a lot of fun, too.

She's also very squeaky when she meows, so it's not very loud and is actually pretty adorable.

My idiot does this at night. I go to bed, the little soft one comes and lays right next to me because the bedroom is apparently the only place she feels safe. Then rear end in a top hat comes and will attack her, and zoomies ensue. After she finds a place to hide from him, he'll start howling like an idiot until I yell at him to shut up. This is when he finally comes to bed and lays down. Cats are odd creatures.

I had an older cat that did this. My theory is that he was going senile and forgot that there were people in the house, got lonely and started howling to hope someone heard him. Once we told him to be quiet, he knew his family was around and didn't howl again during the night.

I had a younger cat that did this, in a two room apartment. Cats are just weird.

At one point I was working nights and living with somebody who worked during the day and had a dog. The very instant he left in the morning, that poor dog would set to howling and crying. I let it go to ten minutes once just to see how long it would take him to tire himself out before I broke and went to calm him down. Poor thing was simply despondent.

"Sooner or later, every curse is a prayer."
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.

Ya, mine isn't age, he's always been weird. He also likes to crawl under the bed (where the little one hides) and howl and scream. He's also the one that acts exactly like a dog. If someone comes over, he's right there sniffing them and being a general nuisance. I have never seen a cat that is so doglike in its behavior before this one.
