Oh damn, that’s a full self-dox. I’m gonna report this just for the sake of maybe getting it down sooner, since OP is likely asleep right now

This is a common issue, but it can be resolved by the sound of a treat bag shaking

It’s a lovely feeling knowing they trust and feel safe enough around you for that

I am glad to report that he does indeed enjoy getting his belly tickled while being cradled like a baby, because he is a fearsome apex predator panther

Okay I might actually try that with my cat, he likes to investigate my phone already

Someone recommend me cat games so I can install them for him

Every so often there are still stories that get enough traction to make the news of elusive big cats being spotted here (though I’m in Scotland rather than Ireland). We have also had a few real instances of non-native big cats (as in, cats substantially bigger than a house cat, not necessarily genus Panthera) being released intentionally or unintentionally that no doubt help fuel the stories, including a couple of lynxes earlier this year that are thought to have been someone’s personal attempt to reintroduce them to Britain

The “caught shee” pronunciation is for the singular cat sìth or cat sí rather than the plural form given in the image

Restringing my guitars around my cat sure is an experience. Yes thank you Alaric, the strings are shiny and wiggly. Please stop trying to eat them

OP has ensured a delicate balance of light and black fur that averages out to the exact same shade of grey as the bedding

Are you able to tell the two black ones farther from the camera apart consistently? The other three all have distinguishing features but those two look like carbon copies of each other, even down to the expressions om their faces

(all five are beautiful though)

Then you should capitulate to those demands immediately

He did

I have never seen a cat look so much like one of those worm-on-a-string toys

I grew up next to a Norwegian neighbour who called our cat “Kattepus”, and I have apparently picked up and kept the habit of referring to my own cat that way. He’s also called Baggy, because being a black cat everyone wanted me to name him Bagheera

My boy Alaric does it too! Truly an evolutionary masterclass to able to just nap anytime anyplace

What an incredible colour her eyes are!

The one with the overlaid diagrams is delightful

A collarbone that isn’t attached to any other bones and a very flexible spine. However, while this makes them extremely good at it, the actual motions involved are, as demonstrated, manageable for a human. We’re just a lot worse at it

I do indeed love my gremlin boy who yells at me and tries to steal every mug of mint tea I make

Batcat?
