They love sun bathing out there. I got one of those window inserts that has a cat door built in and I cut a square out of the cage that lines up with the window so they can go out anytime they want. 😻
Cats not having claws... They're defenseless animals without them :/ would you rather they bite you with their kitty germ mouths or claw you when they're telling you to fuck off
Fuck, if only it was my body my choice. Not even allowed to buy cigarettes in New Zealand soon, if you're born after a certain time.
But weed will be legalized at some point (we were so fucking close last time I'm still mad), feels like that whole "smokefree" marketing will fall flat.
Oh you lucky duck. It's still illegal here in the UK. Congratulations though, hopefully this will lead to all of the EU and then the UK rolling out legalisation.
Am I the only person with a cat that is super careful with their teeth and claws, such that they don't pierce skin? He'll lightly place his claws on skin or take a finger between his teeth and apply very light pressure when he doesn't want to be touched.
The "scream in pretend pain whenever you feel anything sharp" method has trained him to be very aware of his killing tools.
The only time I have claws viciously dug into me is when he kneads me in relaxation, and that's an instinctual behaviour I don't think he can resist.
Mine definitely isn't gentle, but I think that that's only because I don't mind getting a little bit scratched up when playing with him so I only taught him to keep it to that. He understands that playtime is over otherwise. He seems to understand when he has done more than he meant to as well, he immediately goes from fighting to affectionate
Same experience with kneading though. It's very cute that he's so happy and comfortable but holy shit cat your claws are so sharp
I've never used my hands directly for play, so that probably makes a difference. He only gets to go full wild animal on wand toys and such. I don't mind some scratches either, but I made it a point to really make even the slightest catching on skin to be off-limits, so as to be able to let others handle him without worry. Especially with one of sisters starting off quite scared of him.
And yup, the kneading can go from 0 to 100 very suddenly.
At this point i just conclude that a truly terrifying amount of people are lowkey mistreating their pets and operate under the assumption that a pretty severely unhappy pet is actually normal.
Like all the "funny" posts about how cats are so unfriendly and whatnot, bitch what the fuck are you doing to your cat to make it behave like that? all the cats i've ever interacted with have at worst been indifferent, and most of the time they'll merrily make their way over for scritches and love.
A violent cat isn't normal and it's not funny, it means it's not happy for crying out loud! i would wager that the most common problem is that they're bored out of their skulls and are in dire need of playtime and ideally having a second cat in the household so they can entertain each other.
That's a cat wheel. It's not something that comes natural to cats but if they're used to it from kitten age they learn to use it to expend energy when they have their zoomies. Handy in households without long distances to run in those situations.
Hard to be sure, but I suspect specifically it's a One Fast Cat
