This had me in stitches. It's almost as if you could use him as a musical instrument, tickling different spots to get different notes of "HRRRKK" and "SNORT". Also, his doofy face is just precious. :3:

Furthermore, I found this in the related videos: Bentley the bulldog puppy is being fussy.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this story. It is uplifting and feel good to me but if there is a better place for it to be posted just let me know.
Your story was awesome, especially so as I just recently got a cat myself. :)

His name is Priimus (yes, with two "i"s, because that's how we roll in Finland), and we're actually old buddies from before as he used to be my best friend's cat. Said friend and I were also flatmatets once, so this isn't even the first time I'm living together with Priimus. But the thing is, my friend's toddler daughter has gotten old enough to be running around, and Priimus couldn't quite cope with the unwanted attention so I had to adopt him.

I was a bit worried at first because my apartment is quite a bit smaller than what he's gotten used to, but he doesn't seem to mind.
He spends a lot of time in my lap as I sit by the computer, either just snuggling or flat-out sleeping (and twitching in his sleep). Whenever I wake up, I more often than not find him sprawling over half the bed next to me.
He's also pretty vocal. Not obnoxiously so, but we have conversations every day. I hear him meowing in the kitchen, call out to him, he meows again, I reply, and this gets repeated a few more times as he moseys over to me for pettings. His calls are very varied too, ranging from a great big "MOOWWWLLL" to a basic meow to a quizzical, pigeon-like coo, to something I can only describe as a squeak.

And now, there shall be pictures.

Here's Priimus appreciating the summer.


And here he demonstrates his love for geometry by displaying a perfect circle.

Or close enough, at least.


And as completely unrelated bonus content, here is my cousin's Basset Hound puppy.

He's only a few months old in that pic, but of course it's hard to tell because Bassets are droopy like that from the get-go. :buddy:

A quick PSA: This thread has saved me from so many lovely days I've lost count. Thanks, everyone.

And now, some music. Here's two guys from a German power metal band Gamma Ray doing a live acoustic take on one of their songs. Don't worry, the original song notwithstanding there's nothing even remotely metal about this clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9HKsvHgs8Q

I'm posting it here because, well, it's just such a feel-good video. The guys are obviously having such a good time it's infectious, and especially the singer Kai Hansen just seems like such an incredibly jolly guy. I'm not sure I've ever seen a video or picture of him where he wasn't smiling from ear to ear.

Oh man oh man this is the best thing. Don't matter none where you're from, doing a goofy dance with a stranger is fun.

I actually went to his website and filled the sign-up form because why the hell not. I even checked the "I volunteer to help organise things" box. You never know. :)

And in a kinda-sorta tangentially similar vein, this reminded me of this music video from one of my favourite bands. It's crowdsourced, they basically just went "Hey guys, film yourselves being awesome and send us the footage, and we'll cobble together a music video". And so they did. It's mostly just people dancing, singing, goofing off, playing instruments or air guitar. It's just so fun and :3: as hell.
