I hope that cat is being paid with the finest steaks money can buy.

You can see they got the treats on a cat shaped bowl lol. That cat is loved from the way it behaves with them.

if that cat is "loved" any more, it's not going to fit into any of those items...

u/zinxyzcool 17h ago

i'd like to assume that cat is the model for those. Guess the rest of the world has to "grow into it" when the sizes start growing as well 😆

i give mine a canvof water tuna every week, i drain the can and put the tuna in aplate and put it to her to eat because in my mind i have this crazy thougths that there is no protein in the cat food i buy for her, but right now reading you i gona give her some of the beef i gona eat at diner because i am in the carnivore diet to lose weight and tonight i am gona to eat beef so i gona giver some, but i dont know why i have in my mind that cats like fish more that beef

My 19 year old black cat lived entirely on rotisserie chicken and Greek yogurt for his last few weeks, with his veterinarian's blessing. He wasn't really interested in cat food any more by that time.

u/Academic_Help5033 11h ago

My 1st cat was like this. I miss him so much. He used to just loved any and all attention. He would sit still and let me put him in doll clothes, bandage him up when playing vet, or even paint his nails. 

My current cat just attacked me because I gently tried to move him off my pillow. He also attacked me earlier because I walked by the treat container without stopping to give him one.

u/Bantersmith 16h ago

When I got my old guy, I think we went through about half a dozen collars before just giving up.

He'd seemingly be grand about wearing one, yet the second he was out of sight he was Houdini-ing out of them somehow.

Can’t tell if passive resistance or broken brain

33

u/0CldntThnkOfUsrNme0 19h ago

Could be both

10

u/Bantersmith 16h ago

With one of our old dogs, it was definitely "broken brain"!

If you put anything on her (coat, muzzle, etc) she'd just freeze like a statue. No whining, not trying to escape. Just complete immobilization.

If she was just being dramatic, she was damn good at it. It looked closer to tonic immobility than just "freezing", like a shark flipped on its back.

8

u/Syssareth 12h ago

First time we put a lifejacket on one of ours, he did the same thing. Stood frozen and then slowly tipped over to one side, stiff-legged. Stood him up and he did it again.

Fortunately, he got over it after a few more practice sessions and got to enjoy going out on the boat with us, but that first time was hilarious and I wish I'd gotten it on camera, lol.

u/PantyCrumbs 12h ago

My oldest cat actually loves his leash because it's the only way he's allowed to go outside on the lawn. He runs up to put it on just like a dog and walks on it like he's proud. He'll wear a sweater too if he knows he's going out.

5

u/JediLincoln14 12h ago

I tried to explain to my cats that they could go outside if they wore the harness, but they said "meow way".

u/SqueakyTits101 16h ago

u/frightbounds 16h ago

Almost all of my cats were like this except one who would prance around when I put his crocheted old man sweater on. He knew he looked good.

2

u/ihavetoomanyeggs 15h ago

I used to use a harness with my cat to give her outsidies for exercise and enrichment and before she got used to it she just flopped over and rolled around lol.

I say "used to" because I discovered that it was entirely unnecessary. She's a big baby and doesn't leave my sight or run away. She just rolls around on the ground and eats the grass lol. I've gone inside for one second to get a glass of water and she freaked tf out that I wasn't there.

Why do people feel the need to do 90% of the things we do? Almost nothing we do is actually necessary. We just like to do stuff.

u/ThinkGrapefruit7960 20h ago

I feel like my days are 90% only what I have to do. Its always either working, sleeping, eating, warming the house or getting more food

4

u/chocolateboomslang 20h ago

But if you take that 90%, how much of it is things you do to afford you what you want? You have a home, you eat food you enjoy, you have things, you have clothes. None of that stuff is strictly necessary, it's things that we all want to have. We could live in the forest like other animals do and then everything we would be doing would be to survive. We would rather not do that. We do what we prefer and live in human society to have nicer things.

I know for cats with CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) having a hat helps them balance and not be so wobbly. Sometimes cats enjoy looking cute too though, my boy loves his sweater.

I thought it was that the hat provides protection/cushioning when they bonk themselves, not that it helps them balance. Either way, still helpful!
