The thermoneutral zone ("room temperature") for cats is about 20 degrees warmer than that of humans, so that's why they are always heat-thieving.

speaking of cat joints Sadie has some arthritis and stiffness in her back legs. since her temperament almost entirely rules out regular injections her vet has us adding another supplement to her diet to see if that helps.


she still plays and jumps up on things but she hangs out in the heated cat bed most of the time these days. it isn't super serious but I can she she's turning into an old kitty and it makes me really loving sad that there isn't more I can do.

I hear you. Bandit is 15 now and has a pretty noticeable limp when he first gets up after a long nap. I need to bring him to the vet to see what can be done to make him more comfortable, but he's getting to that age and its really depressing.

Ignore the sound of me breathing through a straw. My phone seems to massively amplify the sound of me breathing when I record a video. Avatar appropriate I guess.

Edit again: How do you get imgur mp4 links to embed? Their prepared link doesn't seem to work.

There we go. Many thanks.

Is that a Simplehuman trash can? I wanted to pick one up last month but the standard 45L stainless model had some review issues regarding the back pocket. Specifically, the bag would snag and tear when removing it when full, and if you didn’t use their custom liners, the pocket was basically just a hole for odors to waft out.

I don't think so. I got it at Target a little over a year ago and was maybe $70? It doesn't have any discernible logo I can find, so I assume its a knock off. Its fine.

You guys have convinced me to get a warmed cat bed. Currently they just pile up on this one when they are cold.



Bandit sleeps in the cat carriers all the time. I somehow don't have a picture of this. Its basically a box with a blanket in it, so why not? He also likes to climb into my upright rolling luggage and sleep. The first time he did that I spent 30 minutes looking for him before I resorted to luring him out with treats.

Sundae is extremely vocal and makes a new noise I've never heard a cat make before almost every day. This one ventured off into uncharted territory.

She also likes to run around the place doing this weird roar/growl thing when she's really wound up. I've never gotten a great video of this because the *blip* when I start recording on my phone usually knocks her out of crazy cat trance. She does it right at the end of this video. We're all friends here, so please excuse the messy floor.

Sorry about Noel. Been there, and it sucks.

Hopefully this cheers you up. This is an older video of my dearly departed jerk floof Carl being a jerk.

Edit: Here's a Carl pic. He was probably part Norwegian Forest Cat. He just adopted us one day. We put signs up but never located the original owner.

There isn't much Bandit won't eat other than the expensive food I just bought for him. He loses his poo poo over marshmallows. He'll also eat potato chips, zucchini, and sweet potatoes.

she's got more since that photo. Dexter started getting spots on his nose a bit before he passed. I was looking forward to him evolving into an OC like grandpa cat

Well we need an update then!

Sundae kind of has the reverse going. She's got a stripe of pink across one side of her lip.



She also has the weirdest coat I've ever seen. Its like she has two complete and competing tabby patterns. I call her a double tabby.

Bandit climbs on my belly/chest and insists on laying down across my arm multiple times a day when I am trying to work. Usually when I am on a Zoom call. He is also prone to snoring so loud I can hear him from the other room through my headphones.



He also likes to try and get on my lap when I am taking a dump, but I will not be providing a picture for that.

Simple answer is she's a tortie, yeah. But she's got full competing tabby patterns across her whole body, so its pretty weird. I call her a double tabby.

Thanks for that. I had never seen another cat like her and didn't know what they were called. It doesn't come out perfectly in that picture, but you can pretty distinctly see most of the classic tabby swirl pattern in black on her flanks where it overrides the orange.

It's wrecking me how much Bandit reminds me of my boy Zuki. :( The looks, the coat, the little head, even the snoring.

We had to euthanize him a few weeks ago, just a couple months shy of his 18th birthday, so I really appreciate seeing this. Even if it's made it super dusty in here.

Sorry to hear about Zuki. Echoing the request for pics. This thread is mostly awesome but comes with the occasional side of gut punch.

I'm glad the Bandit pics have helped you a little. He turned 15 this year and is really starting to show his age, so I'm having to mentally prepare for what's next.
