She really is. And she’s a softie, too.

Don’t we all?

OK sounded like something specific, thanks

Never heard of it, which clipart do you mean exactly?

That she is. The only cat I have ever known that showed me that she didn’t like being touched anymore with a full blown paw swing COMPLETELY without claws.

Hex hex, Indira ist vermittelt jetzt!

Funny you should say that. I guess a club is a good description for a cupboard that now contains my subwoofer as well as my games.

My Miez is 11 y/o, that’s why I built her the stairs you see Indira using in this video:

Thanks, edited. I always mix up “node” and “knot”. “Knot” just looks wrong as it is too similar to the German translation “Knoten”, but I guess the word origin is the same.

The thing is, woodworking is a hobby. That’s why to me it is worth investing in the proper tooling, as I won’t buy any furniture anymore. I also build wardrobes and such. https://imgur.com/gallery/8DCTDzi

I greeted both of them for you.

Just for you:

Yeah and the little meows at Miez (end of video 1). Don’t know if the blink was directed at me or at Miez though.

The thing is, I don’t get emotionally too involved when I go in with the clear expectation that only a PERFECT fit for Miez will stay. It’s more like when I visit others and there is a cat there. I always get along with cats best (way better than with children and even with most people). Before you ask, yes, I’m definitely on the spectrum somewhere but without diagnosis.

I guess I have always been hyper-rational. I know we don’t connect and know she does with the other lady, and I know I will have many other cats to take (temporary) care of. While I enjoyed taking care of her, I still think that it’s for the best this way. Maybe one day I will keep a foster cat as my own additionally to Miez, but only if they get along perfectly, which wasn’t the case here. Indira is way too energetic for Miez.

While I like Indira, it isn’t mutual. I wasn’t the one petting her, the lady was. She just streched towards the camera. I tried petting Indira right after and just received hissing.

Oh shoot. I usually know this. Thanks for the hint though. In my defense it was really late

Today I managed to trick her into letting me give her some scritches. I first used the stick as in the video, then shortener it bit by bit and let her notice it. I finally reacher her while still holding the stick. She must have thought what an amazing new scratching technique the stick had learned and REALLY leaned into it. When she looked up and saw my hand was doing all the scritching she growled and went a few steps back. I then longened the stick again and she came closer and thus I shortened the stick again. This time she didn’t growl. Bit by bit she becomes more trusting.

Haha. I’m using jerboa which doesn’t show it when you expand the post, so I embed it by default.
