I taught my cat to jump between two chairs while pointing when she was 3 years old, and I tried it again 12 years later today and she remembered the trick. I guess its less of a trick and just an easy way to get some ham.

Matted fur can actually hurt them. If you can't brush them out, get to a groomer or vet to shave them out. :saddowns:

I can usually get it but was just being a real motherfucker about it. I just slide a comb under it and chop it off. She never used to get them but she's just getting old I guess.

Yeah happens when cats get a bit older and a little less flexible. Harder to groom themselves.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

My cat did what he does almost all day every day, whine and cry until I come to the stairwell where he'll receive pettings and he'll try to slowly lure me to the bedroom upstairs where he can flip around on his back and chase after imaginary things in the blankets.

Goofus crawls into the box full of Christmas ornament packing paper and howls for ten minutes when she isn't able to attack the dogs from inside.

The boxes are emptied daily, but a few years ago during some family stress, they were forgotten once or twice for a second day. Her response was to protest poo poo in the shower.

All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


I found putting a paper plate under the cat so they throw up on that worked well enough that my cat now aims for paper plates. Do not eat food on a paper plate they are for cat pukes only around here, well not unless you want the cat to run up to you in a panic and throw up.

Maybe this will work for you, my goal was just make cleanup easier that time never train him or else I would have done like a paper towel or something, but at the time I had a lot of paper plates and no dishwasher.

The first challenge is getting the cat not to run away as you go near them while they are hacking something up.

Thrown up right next to her own food bowl. At 6am.

Guarded the towels by sleeping on them.

Head-butted a wooden pantry door because it took more than 3 seconds to put food in her bowl.

Walked away from the bowl without eating.

Diagnosis: Cat.

Now that's good jerky!
I woke up to her snuggled in my arms. She looked up at me, mewed, slow blinked and then stretched… and caught her claw on my eyelid.

And then I had to go put antibiotic eye drops in immediately. Thanks Pazuzu.

She is going to get her claws trimmed this evening.

Christmas came early for us, in the form of a 10 week old kitten who made the mistake of wandering into our yard after he was most likely dumped. He's a pretty good ornament, but he keeps attacking the disembodied Santa head. How are we to send a warning to other santas to stay away if he keeps trying to eat it?

Oh Goergeous George, you did make 2023 so much better for all of us.

She's old as hell, but was just at the vet recently and all her blood work and urine tests came back clean. Thanks for the concern though!



Edit: oh yeah, and we brought them a Tupperware with a turd for testing as well. That was fun.
