considering a cat

i am most sincere in my facebookery

guys my dad is going a little nuts w/ the horatio facebook page now! should i un-admin him?

tell him he hit 51 SBs and is temp-banned

I made a giant batch of raw cat food this weekend. It's disgusting glop, 4 lbs of ground organic chicken thighs and 3/4 lb of ground chicken livers all mixed up with a cup of powdered supplements and 2 cups of water. They totally love it.

that is awesome! my mom has been feeding horatio homemade food but i guess she left the livers separate because he will eat everything else and turn his nose up at the liver!

I'm probably going to keep buying the frozen stuff from Primal or maybe try that one cutty linked to that would have to ship from the bay area, once I've used up all the supplement powder. It cost more to make it myself than buy the little frozen bricks. Sold all the unopened cans of prescription food back to the vet on Saturday - nice to not have to deal with that smelly stuff anymore tbh. Horatio doesn't know what he's missing, mmmm chicken livers. I made the rest of the package up into paté pour des personnes, with shallots and Cockspur rum.

my cat seriously loves the raw stuff, she goes nuts for it. the sound of her gobbling it up is hilarious. jaq you are brave for trying it yourself!

just watched my cat eat a dragonfly :-/

i love it when cats catch a bug in midair. so badass.

there is a cat named chaucer with a flat, fat face that needs adopting

i think as soon as i get an apartment and am settled i am going to get a cat

^ ^ ^

want a cat or a dog so bad now, but know that it would not be the responsible thing to do.

i realllly want a dog but i have come to accept that i will never be home enough and it's not fair. at least for now.

ok there is a 13 year old female cat on the adopt a cat page and they say she is having a really hard time being in a shelter and doesn't understand and is depressed. she is very cheap because she is old.

and she is a flame point persian.

You should totally get her. The old ones are really heartbreaking.

feel sorry for the cat but why do that to yourself

Cats can live to be 20 so you could give her seven awesome years! My eldest cat is 13 and she totally rocks. She sleeps more than she used to and instead of spryly jumping up on the couch, she kind of climbs up the side (which is cute, but kind of unfortunate for the upholstery) but she's still 100% zany, adorable, very lovey dovey cat. AND she gets some serious institutional rage when we take her to the vet, as in they have to knock her out to perform a routine exam, so if she were in a shelter, she'd probably lose her fucking mind. But then as soon as we bring her home, she's up on my lap trying to crawl under my shirt again.

So, in summary, based on my anecdote, you should definitely adopt the 13 yo female flame point persian.

I would not mind giving a cat even one more great year.

<3 that sentiment just a little bit

my only hesitation is that i have a ridiculous little boy cat and i dont want him to terrorize her

I would not mind giving a cat even one more great year.

This is prob my all-time favourite ilx post. Has been on my mind all week and makes me want to adopt an old cat as well.

Thanks, dude! I'm gonna go see her tomorrow and ask questions of the shelter people re: getting along with a younger, wilder cat.

found out my cat is somehow freaked out by the smell of sunscreen? ...considering how this can be useful

i would rub it on all the white apple cables in my apartment. the cat goes fricken bananas for any white apple cable.

Martha just had a guest on who said everyone should have a maine coon!

AW!

best cats <3 my giant beast was the awesome (not purebred or anything, just a dog-sized cross)

They were so adorable!

Ps everyone in audience brought cats and all got copies of cat fancy magazine and catnip from martha's farm!

it's online i just wached it ha

I'm fairly certain that I'm getting a cat in a few weeks. It's an "older kitten" who is a stray and also very regal looking, from the picture. :D :D :D

aw

i no rite. something about the eyes makes me want to respect the shit out of this cat and tell it all of my troubles.

That cat is going to be an awesome catfriend.

beginning to consider a cat again, but i might move first to a place w/o carpets

that cat rules

She looks quite the lady

Ohhh what an awesome cat!

I think I want an orange tabby but tbh if I was allowed to have cats I'd take in the first one I came across that needed a good home.

i like cats that hide behind chairs and then swiftly rake their claws across passing surprised ankles.

that is just antisocial

it's how cats zing us, they always have a j/k look on their face afterwards.

harbl I hope you also consider losing all your fuckin hair ties no matter how many times you hide them holy shit

I have met many cats like that. every time, I say 'what is your fucking problem, cat??' and the cat is like 'i hate you all' and the owners are either 'she's really sweet tho, really!!' or 'she's a bitch, don't go near her, we live in fear.' it's all v hardcore pet ownership.

xp

lols at cat making a j/k face

Lol estela's posts v much in character!

i don't use hair ties, uh oh i'm having a fantasy

'she's a bitch, don't go near her, we live in fear.'

^ exactly what "my" cat living at my mom's house is like and what my parents have to tell every guest. But she is sweet too, really! If you only pet her on her head and only for so long. You have to keep watching for that look in her eye. You know what I'm talking about.

thank god i got a sweet female cat. WOMEN ARE EVIL!!

My uncle's cat, daisy, is kind of socially awkward/finnicky but you can pet her now. She used to be very aggressive, and it wasn't until her brother, frank, died and she was alone that she opened up. They think frank had been terrorizing poor daisy, that EVIL MAN!

otm about hairties, wtf cats
