This morning Emilia (the kitty) was sleeping/laying down in the bundle of blankets I left for her :3:

But she seemed to have hid behind the couch again shortly after that. At some point today when I switch to school stuff I'll work on the couch and work on getting her curious about me.

She's clearly eaten some food so that's good.

That's really good going! I'm sure she'll be out and about in no time.

Kittens are monsters, that's why we say to get two so they tire each other out and don't shred your house. Adult cats are easy mode.

When our resident princess does something naughty we get absolutely nothing. She struts off to her next activity and won't make eye contact as if to say "I don't answer to you."

If this Etsy product had more than one review, I'd buy it. And the one review says it broke in transit. The one on Amazon, all the reviewers agree that it's not sturdy enough to hold a cat's weight, and broke quickly.

I have seen more obscure Microsoft (and once, Nvidia) utilities in the last two weeks...

She really just scratches at everything too. We have 6 different scratching posts now and would rather scratch at the brand new bed frame or underside of the couch. Everybody says cats are easy-mode and the plug and play pet but gently caress that. Kittens are monsters. Everybody also says that they will eventually mellow out and oh god please be true I’m going mad. I just keep reminding myself that one day I will have a good cat, and the sweet moments to insane ones ratio will start to even out.

Think this is why the thread always says get 1 cat, or 2 kittens. Both of mine are young adult rescues so I got to skip all the psycho kitten mess. Most of it... At least some of it.

Yeah, near me (northern California) shelters flat-out won't adopt out kittens unless you already have a kitten or take two. An older cat doesn't cut it, because an older cat isn't going to entertain a kitten enough.

Is this the right place to post cat pics/videos or is there a pic megathread that I'm not seeing? Should I be posting this instead into the black cat thread?

(I work nights half the time and I come home and sleep most of the day after and she curls up against me it's the best)

I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks. She's amazing.

I have to give my cat eyedrops AND in-the-ear drops and I don't want her to hate me but this will be the state of affairs for at least a few days :saddowns: does anyone have any tips for making this less miserable for us both?

Just get it over with as quickly as possible. Your cat will hate you no matter how you do it, but will get over it in a couple days.

I've never known a cat to nap on their back in the middle of the floor before... Wednesday does it all the time.

One of ours has managed to associate lounging on her back as a way to get dinner so around the same time every night we'll find here somewhere in the middle of the floor just chilling out. She never announces it, she'll silently flop over and wait for someone to notice.

Of course it gets her dinner immediately so she has successfully trained us.

Emilia was sleeping in the bed I made for her again but retreated back to the back of the couch as I began doing my morning routine and was walking around; I discovered she peed on my floor at some point during the night. :(

She does know about the kitty litter though, she's clearly used it, she's also ate some of the good I gave her and most of the kitty treats.

Today she's still mostly hiding behind the couch, I didn't have much of a chance yesterday to use my living room to get used to my presence, I did watch some tv while I was drinking my smoothie and at some point she moved to under the desk where she was watching me.

I hope she gets used to me soon :ohdear:

I occasionally check behind the couch to make sure she's there, especially when closing any doors to any rooms to make sure I don't trap her somewhere; but I otherwise try not to bother her.

:kimchi: Omg manx AND fluffy?! That is the dream combo, I love the little rabbit tail.

My last roommate’s cat pretty much defaults to that. It was really funny to me, walking in a room to a passed out cat in the middle of the floor.

My own boy is normally a tight little ball but sometimes he lies on his back and is the cutest.

The best apologies are crafted with love.
Lena and Katya have started playing with each other under the bedroom door. Katya keeps trying to get in but until Lena can get in to the vet I'm trying to keep their face to face meetings very brief. She goes in on the 20th since it was the earliest date they had. Lena's been getting more bold and social with me as well and has been popping up on the bed next me but still a safe distance away lol. Lena's still super skittish around my partner though.

If you've ever used eardrops yourself, you know that cold drops in your ears feels really weird. Warming the bottle in your hands or armpit for a few minutes first to make it a more neutral temperature can make it slightly less off-putting.

tummy time is a flat circle.

Maybe that's a kitten thing, neither one of mine ever really stretch out like that, though occasionally the tuxedo will flop around in her sleep...



vvv Maybe mine are just lazy crap cats then :mad:

My stupid idiots new favorite thing to do is take a piece of cereal out of the bowl and chase it around like a toy before finally eating it. I’m sure there’s a ton of them that get lost under the fridge or wherever and some ants are having a feast.

My very underweight and ill foster cat's new favourite thing to do is refuse to eat for a day, causing me to panic-open multiple different cans flavours and textures of cat food in an attempt to find one he considers palatable, and then the next day he eats 100g of wet food and half a tin of tuna in the 30 seconds it takes for me to refill his water bowl.

Godammit, cat, you have to gain weight before you can have your operation, please just eat the food. You don't have the fat reserves to skip meals.

Hey, girl.
Kimchi is a big fan of the flop & stretch, she does it to demand belly rubs. The cat-sitter called it 'going worm mode'.
