I just moved the treat container getting the attention of both cats. They followed me to their regular food, watched me grab a handful of it from their full bowls, and throw it on the ground where they eagerly gobbled it up like it was the best food ever. Dumbasses.

 These fuckers sleep like rocks as long as I'm holding them, but the literal second I gently place them onto a pre-warmed heating pad/cat bed, they begin wrestling followed by climbing me like a jungle gym while I work at the table. It's a good thing they're cute

Donna and Mittens seem to have agreed to partition me. Mittens gets to sit in my lap while Donna aggressively kneads my arm until I cross it over my chest so she can lay on it. I was not consulted.

Milly barfed on her bed last night and it was gross enough that paper towels and nature's miracle wasn't gonna cut it so into the washer it went. Next up was 3 hours of incessant whining that her bed was gone. As soon as it was back in place with the heater installed she kneaded it for about 15 minutes while purring loud enough that I could hear her across the room. Then she passed out for the night.

Meanwhile Mel refuses to have a permanent sleeping space and flat out ignored the cat beds I've variously tried to get her to use. Instead whenever she wants to sleep she apparently rolls some dice to determine between: 1. Her old carrier 2. The cardboard box in my room with a blanket laid in it. 3. The cardboard box in the living room without a blanket laid in it. 4. My bed, she'll curl up with me if I'm sleeping but if not and she decides she wants to sleep there, she meows nonstop until I wrap her up in the blankets 5. Her cat shelf 6. One specific chair under the dining room table, no other chair will do and it specifically has to be pushed in, otherwise commence the meowing 7. In front of the vent, either if I have the heat on or she's cold and wants me to turn the heat on 8. In front of the master bedroom closet, no idea why this spot specifically but she'll just splay out on the carpet and sleep for hours Cats are weird. Cat tax of scenario 4b:

It seems cats are pretty good at checking out and then promptly ignoring new things we place in their environment. They're truly creatures of habit and are pretty resistant to change, but they can be brought around with time and patience. Kitty-one-ear would initially only sleep on the floor when we made him an indoor cat, but he slowly but surely warmed up to softer places to sleep. We put out a nice cat bed for him to lie on and he ignored it for months. Then one day he just started using it and made that his most preferred spot, and that was the very spot we said goodbye to him. You can never be too sure what a cat is going to take an interest in, but if you leave it out for a good long time there's a chance they might eventually come around to it.

Ours alternate between using their cat beds we bought and sleeping beside the cat beds we bought. Last night rear end in a top hat was sleeping above the bathroom vent apparently he was cold

I would like to feed cute neighborhood cat because it is cute and pisses off Milly. Whats the best way to put out a dish of food and keep it from getting rained on? I'm thinking a hut made out of an upside-down tupperware bin with doors cut out of both ends for escape route. Cats for reference:

If it's roaming it's probably eating extra anyway, and the owners aren't monitoring... Also raccoons really like cat food, too.

Sup pet goons, I'm having a cat dilemma I own a white oversized cat, he's p. cool and cuddly but he's also a bit too smart for his own good sometimes. He doesn't chase the laser pointer, is not amused with nerf darts or balls and he attacks me whenever he wants to play, or when I carry food to the living room. He opens drawers and the oven, and turns the stove knobs on in the kitchen (he tried to burn down the apartment twice). Naturally, he likes stealing food, even pastries, pasta and bread (which he will not eat, but play with around the house making a mess). His weakspot are balls of tinfoil, those he will chase around, but eventually he rips them apart and makes a mess again. So come Christmas I intend to prank his sorry rear end by installing a blacklight in the living room and turning it on in complete darkness. He's gonna turn into a pathetic glowing excuse of a feline hahahahah. Do you guys think it'll be too scary for him? I wanna prank him so bad, but at the same time I don't wanna traumatize him

last saturday, took my cats to the vet for their second vaccination. Since yesterday. one of my cats started to sneeze a lot. very often. but she's very energetic, eats and drinks and is still very playful. haven't seen any eye discharge or anything. Called the vet anyway. and they say it may be because of the vaccination that she is sneezing a lot. Keeping an eye out on her. Hope it is just a side effect of the vaccination

A bad vaccine reaction would be like, swelling in the face and being sick to the stomach and lethargy (source: my cat had a bad reaction to his first rabies vaccine and now gets a benadryl shot with his annual shots). If the cat can breathe and eat she's probably ok. If she suddenly has a personality change, or if you notice it getting worse, that might be an issue. If you got her from a shelter, she might have cat herpes, a flare up of which iirc can be triggered by stress (like a vet trip) and looks like a cold. Also not really a major issue. Keeping an eye out is the right call.

What do you guys do with old toys? There's a shitload of cat toys we have that our cats ignore because they aren't one of two preferred styles of toy. Do you throw them out or should I look for a shelter near me to give them to?

I give them to friends who also have cats, or leave them in a cupboard for a year or two until I find them again and the cats think they're new again.

One of the workers noticed they were coming around a bit and worked with them alot until they said they were fit to adopt. Shelter cats are cool

 Assholes sob pitifully if I shut my bedroom door, but when I let them in before passing out for a much needed nap, they decide that I am much more comfortable than a pet bed, and proceed to climb onto me. And every few minutes they work their way closer and closer to my head, in order to properly smother me.

Snapchat gave my fiancee memories of our first Christmas in the apartment. He was surprisingly okay with the snow. This is the cat that peed on me when I was carrying him to the car and it was raining out. We gave them their Christmas presents today. A bag of crinkle balls and a bunch of catnip mice. I gave rear end in a top hat and bean both their own which he promptly decided wasn't enough and he wanted the other 10 instead.
