He killed a bee and then I brushed like six pounds of hair off of him while cradling him in my arms like a baby and and then he ate breakfast and curled up in my armpit while I laid in bed and watched Cell with John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson, now he's lurking on one of the chairs underneath the dining table and screeching about food any time I walk by

My other cat has laid atop a stack of cardboard boxes in the garage surveying her kingdom, only coming down to give me the royal trill and rub against my leg before eating breakfast and returning to her castle

I just woke up and fed my cats breakfast then witnessed one of them catch and eat a moth

My cat Oz likes to sneak into the bathtub after I take a shower and it dries off and he lays down and purrs and rubs himself all over the tub and he thinks I don't know he does it but I stand there on the other side of the shower curtain laughing at him every time

Today he's playing a game where every 5 minutes he runs into my room and goes into the corner behind the door and fires his weaponized "mrow-MROW!" cry that scrambles my brain like a spatula on eggs then he runs away

They are wondering wtf I am doing and why I stopped halfway through drying their food bowls for breakfast to pull out my phone.

My buddy Oz is a very special cat for all kinds of reasons. One is that he has Central Heterochromia, both of his eyes are a gradient from blue (center) to brown (edges) and it's hella cool
It's incredibly hard to get a good picture of because you need to look him dead in the eyes with good natural light but here are some from right now while he was laying on my belly for his post-lunch cuddle sesh

Laid on my lap like this



Oz has demanded a bare minimum of 30 minutes of this while I comb his hair every single day since the day I adopted him almost 3 years ago



When I'm not holding the camera or combing him he wants to hug my other hand :3:

e: also he usually drools all over my shirt the whole time

Whenever my cats are anxious I just change shirts and give them the shirt I was wearing to lay on and they calm down but also sometimes they don't calm down and they start throwing my shirt all around the room playing with it and rabbit kicking it

If cat's gonna just lay down and snooze like that then you better be diving in to that belleh face first and smooching that tummy like crazy

I've been told never to do this, but especially with dogs, because some of them can basically get in a zone where they spend the rest of their natural lives staring at a wall waiting for a dot to appear. Like, actually sad poo poo where they cat or dog will just look at the wall every day for hours and hours just waiting for it to come back.

I think you just described humans and the UFO phenomenon

I keep a jar of treats in the kitchen, and obviously my cats have learned to recognize the sound of that jar being opened and they show up immediately.

So for the last month I've been taking extra treats out of the jar every time I open it and hiding them in places the cats can't see, like on top of bookshelves. Now occasionally I'll walk up to one and say "Abra cadabra!" and procure treats. My cats think I'm a wizard, and I can successfully cast Summon Cat by saying "Abra Cadabra" now.

He woke up then cried for 30mins because it's overcast and he wanted the sun to be out. Then when the sun came out he cried for another 30mins wanting me to comb his hair. So I combed his hair then he ate and went to sleep.

He ate his whole breakfast, then half of his sister's breakfast, then some dry food, then he screamed at me for 20 minutes demanding treats before he finally gave up and went to sleep.

Oz's favorite thing in the world is getting scritches on his chin + neck and he always thinks that's what you should do to humans so when he's laying on my lap he reaches up and rakes my chin and neck with his claws and today he scratched my throat :argh:

I used to think dogs are cool but it turns out cats are so much cooler that dogs are obsolete, and I maintain that people who don't like cats have just never treated cats well and/or never had their own cat

Oz discovered that if he takes a running leap at a desk chair he has enough momentum to skateboard around the room on it and he did that like 4 times until he crashed into the wall and scared himself

My cat is obsessed with a plastic bag. Not with playing with it, but sleeping on it. She has multiple beds in different areas. She has couches and chairs and human beds.

No, it's this big sack she sleeps on every night.

Millie does this with a yellow microfiber rag. She will carry it around the house and lay on it for hours on end

He woke me up earlier than I wanted to wake up by repeatedly jumping up on my bed and yelling at me, all because he wanted me to get up and sit at my desk so he could nap on the chair next to me

I did the slow blink at him and as I was opening my eyes I saw that he was also opening his eyes from a slow blink that he did while my eyes were closed. It's like high-fiving a cat
