This reminds me of my childhood dog. She was a purebred golden retriever we got free from a breeder because she had a malformed front paw. Sweetest, friendliest dog ever.

We had a coffee table in our TV room that had an open area under it, but there were support bars running between the legs around the perimeter, a few inches off the floor. So like a rectangular semi-enclosed space. When she was a pup, she would climb in there and nap while we watched TV. One evening we were sitting down to watch something when she suddenly started whining loudly from under the table. She kept turning around and trying to lay down, but she couldn’t. She had grown to the point where she could no longer fit comfortably, and she was super confused. We were simultaneously feeling really sorry for her but also laughing out loud.

How did that cat even get through admissions?! I smell a bribery scandal.

I mean, it is reposting other peoples’ old content, and there seems to be a lot of that going on here lately. People just like the attention, I guess.

Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn’t lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that’s what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.

Here’s our Poly:

It would be better if you actually drew it instead of posting someone else’s artwork. https://www.reddit.com/r/nekoatsume/comments/3zy6l2/oc_i_drew_princess_and_the_sheep_cushion/

Quality Apurrance doing their thing.

Our cat likes to wait for us to get out of the shower, then she tries to catch the drops running down the inside of the glass door.

Implementing some fuzzy logic algorithms?

Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot

Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains

Your catpuccino is ready.

When my daughter was a toddler she would sometimes sneak up and press the power button on my PC when I was in the middle of a gaming session, then giggle mischievously. I outsmarted her by taping a piece of cardboard over the button.

That is awesome. Glad to see it, and thanks for sharing! 😻

Get some boinks. They’re straw-like tubes made from a mesh material that can be compressed to shoot them across a room (I think it’s a heat-shrink material originally made for bundling cables together). They’re super cheap and our cat that loves all things stick-like (straws, pencils, pens, etc) goes bananas chasing them around.

Your rebuttal is worse. We shouldn’t let cats wander outside for the same reasons we shouldn’t let zoo animals wander outside the zoo. They are not wild animals and they are not native to the environments we keep them in. It is bad for them and it is bad for the rest of the ecology. If someone thinks cats should be treated like wild animals they have no business keeping a cat in their home at all.

Long long caaaaaaaaaaaaat.

No, it isn’t. Domestic cats do not belong outside. The exposure to numerous hazards literally cuts their average life expectancy by half.

We have one of those. Gray cats are really difficult to photo well. Cameras always seem to mis-set the exposure.

Hey, I have an older version of the same case. Very solid choice.

Aw… we used to have a ginger tabby that would get up on my desk to get my attention while I was gaming. She sadly passed about 8 years ago. I still miss her.

Double-sided tape on the problem areas worked for our cats. But also make sure there are appropriate scratching posts available nearby.
