Stories About Pets

Beau has a Q-tip thieving and hoarding problem. This is this week's stash.

 

OMG that cat is gorgeous. With that fur, I'm surprised you're not 87% cat hair by volume!

 

That's the other 13% :3 The cats take up far less space than the dogs. And his fur is fine enough that it tends to clump together on the carpet for easy pickup. They require daily vacuuming.

Edit: Fun Fact! MIL is allergic to long haired cats, so we decided to get short hairs to be safe. Beau was listed as a short haired tiny floof at the shelter. They were so, SO wrong.

 

I thought for a second you were saying you vacuumed your cats. Those would be some tolerant cats!

Oh nooo, shelter estimate fail. Our pit was supposed to top out at 30 lbs; he's 80 lbs now. *facepalm*

 

Thank you!!!! We went to the park today. Lily's friend from school was there and both she and her little barely-walking baby brother were giving Daisy so much attention. Pretty much everyone was, because Daisy has so much love to give.

Everyone's pets are so beautiful ;C; Animaaaaals

 

How efficient that would be!

 

My Dad's husky had to be shop-vac'd after a bath, or else his undercoat would retain water and subsequently develop algae. They didn't know this until they noticed he was distinctly green, smelly and miserable a week or so after a bath. Luckily he enjoyed the vacuum!

 

Cat in sink
Whatcha think?
Knowing wink.
Faucet drink!

Turn the tap.
That's where it's at.
After that,
I'll take a nap.

All hail the cat cloud.

 

Samwise the cat has a bad habit of escaping the house. One morning he looked outside and there was a tabby kitten that was his cat doppelganger. Sam looked like o.O

I think it was the cat version of seeing a glitch in the matrix.

(Sam is neutered so it's not his kitten, thankfully.)

 

Edit: Damn FB privacy settings.

Fat Dog loves popcorn. Fat Dog would kill a man for popcorn.

 

She is so pretty! I love her face.

 

one of the kitties gave me a bath today. Mom just assume I had something on my hand like salt or something (I love salted sunflower seeds) but after he thoroughly washed my hand he stated washing his paws, so I thinks it was just bathtime

there is a primal satisfaction in another animal deciding to groom you. blame my monkey ancestors.

 

One of the cool things about domestic short-hairs: this time of year, almost overnight, they turn into ultra plush plushy-toys. Only with sharp parts.

 

the kitties are used to being fed their bowl of dry food on the counter now for dinner ('cause they are picky and will usually turn their noses up at it if it just sits on the floor for them to nibble on and cans of wet food are expensive but they will GO TO TOWN if they think it's a special meal like their wet food is to the point where they don't even wait until I put the bowls on the floor)

So this morning I actually had cereal and the big cat jumps up on the counter all excited and sticks his nose right into my fruity cereal and is all ready to nom it down when he realizes that this does not in fact smell anything like his kibbles an he keeps sniffing at them super confused and when I grab my spoon and bowl he looks at me like "why would you eat that?! it smells terrible."

 

according to my dad our floofball cat has decided that chili is now her food of choice & she will accept no substitutes. she jumped up on the table twice to get at my mum's bowl, then licked the bowls clean once my parents were done eating. this is really spicy chili too, so ????. she can also find the only piece of pork in the entire house & eat it. the worst superpower ever.
look at this goober.

Spoiler: a goob

 

Foot encounter triage according to Good Cat Prim:

1. Ink's feet: prey (attack)
   
2. Ink's feet in store-bought socks: prey (attack)
   
3. Ink's feet in shoes: prey (attack)
   
4. Hand-knitted socks lying on a table: prey (attack)
   
5. Ink's feet in hand-knitted socks: TERRIFYING! RUN!!

 

Wait. There are hidden bits of pork in your house?
