silver just caught a gecko and she slammed the poor thing into walls and floor multiple times until it's that. like holy shit. rivel isn't that vicious. she likes casual torture by swatting and holding small lizards dawn with her paw, but silver just straight up smashed that thing. she stood on hind legs while holding the gecko in her mouth, makes a wide head swipe, then release it full speed into walls or floor, then she touched the gecko to see if it's still alive. if it's still moving, repeat

Yeah, domestic house cats are basically tiny apex predators lol

You might also find it horrifying that the reasons dogs love squeak toys is that it sounds like prey squealing. You know the cute thing where they shake a toy in their mouth? Also a way to "deal with" captured prey.

Anyway, my cats still aren't 100% getting along. My large, young boy cat is still regularly getting his ass kicked by the tiny old lady cat.

She's been acting a little strange lately. The rescue I was fostering her through was being difficult about arranging a vet visit for her (it was like pulling teeth just to get ahold of the woman in charge), so I told them I'd just adopt her so I can take her to my vet. She's been chewing her paw pads raw, getting litter in them, and then repeating the cycle. I bought a new litter that won't stick to her paws, but she hates it and poops directly outside the litterbox.

I can tell that her paws hurt and it's making her very reactive. I wish I could communicate to her that I'm just trying to help.

Not to the degree she's doing it. She was pulled out of someone's backyard about two months ago, but she's not feral. She's just got a lot of health issues.

Sometimes- I've noticed Aster tends to be a bit possessive with a lot of things (even if Obie is playing/using it first). Obie just lets himself be pushed around.

Not that I know of lol. His legs are permanently messed up because he fell from a pretty tall tree as a baby, but even then this was the only time I saw him just plopped down like that lol

My neighbor leaves her cat outside all day, which along with being against the HOA rules here it's also been below freezing outside for like a month. So I leave home to run an errrand and her cat rubs all over me for a couple minutes. I come back an hour later and he runs from her front door to me while meowing a lot, and then I look at my front door and there's a dead bird right there on the ground. Try to get past the cat to go inside and he's at my door trying to get inside with me.

So I had to tell my neighbor to let her cat in. Her being a major annoyance aside, I thought it was pretty funny that a cat tried to bribe with a dead bird.

That seems like the cat wants you as its owner more than its actual owner. Since cats give dead animals to their owners as gifts right? So hes like Take this offering hoomun and save me from stupid lady

Maybe he just got bigger and it's uncomfortable on just one hand?

Found some stray cats today by the neighborhood mailbox. A family of four, two kittens and two adults living in a storm drain. I left some of Mocha's leftover canned food for them since she doesn't like wet food that isn't puree. I guess I should call animal control eventually

It's my cat's birthday tomorrow. I usually give him a "special" breakfast (wet food instead of dry food) and dinner (wet food as usual, but with treats sprinkled on top) to celebrate as well as getting him a toy. I actually haven't gotten any new toys for him though because he only ever wants to play with things like sticks and paper.

In the past, I would also give my other cat the special "birthday" meal even though it wasn't his birthday just so he wouldn't feel left out. Since I've adopted the cat I was fostering, I guess I need to decide when her birthday is. My vet requires one for the paperwork and I just think it's fun to celebrate.

I mean, I don't really know when any of my cat's birthdays were. One I just guessed based on how old the vet estimated he was (and then realized that I counted wrong by like a month, but whatever, he's a cat, he's not going to have an identity crisis over it), the other was an estimate by the rescue agency he came from, and idk, I have no idea what I'll pick for my new cat.

Still, like I said, just fun to celebrate. I did buy a cute little "Birthday Boy" ribbon from Walmart to pin on their collars for a cute picture. Guess I should go get a "Birthday Girl" one soon lol
