This big idiot sits on things and stares at me trying to get me to pay attention to him. I always do because he's so damn cute. Seems like no matter where I am if I turn around there he is sitting somewhere staring. Just by the force of his will trying to get my attention.

I am jealous of you and your cats.

We got two cats about 8 months ago and the female cat (Penny) is just starting to warm up to us. For the first six months she preferred to just keep her distance but now she will occasionally start to approach us for some petting. Her brother (Pete) has been super affectionate since day one.

I have 15 cats and they are not all affectionate, there's a couple that won't come near me. But with so many cats I always have one that I can pet, always. I have lots of things they can sit on and there's always one sitting within distance of me petting them. My wife had a cat years ago that would attack me whenever I went to her house. It would wait and hide under the couch or under the bed or behind the door and when I least expected it it would come out and literally attack me and draw blood. My wife thought it was hilarious, I plotted murder..

I've been on a pillow craze lately buying cheap bed pillows from Walmart and cheap pillowcases by the dozen and putting them around for the cats. For a cat laying on a pillows is like laying on a bed and I want to have enough so there's at least one pillow for every cat and I have 15 cats. Right now I've got about 10 pillows. The pillow in this picture is on a bench and I just put it down about 6 minutes ago there's already a cat sleeping on it.

His head looks big compared to his body. My cats are just the opposite, little heads big bodies (ie. fat).

I have a couple cats that have fat softball heads. I like to grab them like I would grab a softball and they like it too. You are trying to entertain yourself with just two cats, it takes at least five for it to get interesting. With as many cats as I have there is always something going on. I totally understand the old cliche about old women and cats because if you have a bunch of cats you can't possibly be lonely. It's like having a house full of kids.

If you mean goofing around with each other yes, cats are very nocturnal and they sleep during the day, especially in the afternoon. At night they tear around like maniacs but they're not allowed in my bedroom so I don't hear most of it. Sometimes I dread getting up of what I'm going to find but most of the time it's not bad. Last week they got ahold of a new roll of paper towels and the thing was unraveled all over the house. For a cat that's like going to Disney World.

I get a new box that's long and narrow and not very deep and so the first thing that happens is the big fat cat tries to cram his corpulent body into the tiny opening. Then the half grown cat gets in and defends his territory. Cats love tunnels and the inside of cardboard boxes.

Our cat died about a year ago and I am ready to replace it with two kittens. The problem is that we have two large dogs in the house and I am not sure how the German Shepherd will do with kittens. The shepherd has a high prey drive and brings us animals into the house that it catches in the yard (rabbits, opossums, birds and a raccoon).

I am currently travelling a lot for work and don't trust the dogs with kittens when we aren't around.

German shepherd’s usually do well with small kittens, but be careful sometimes they choke on the bones.

I brushed these two idiots together at the same time and they become instant buddies when you do that. They both purr like motor boats while it's happening and I think they're talking to each other and it creates a bond between them and they hang out together for an hour afterwards.

After the big omakase sushi dinner, we apparently had to go feed the cats for a relative who was out of town for the weekend.

The big one is old, cranky, and no trouble.
The little one is a fairly young kitten, eager to play with everything. He immediately attempted escape as soon as the door started to open.
He was promptly tackled.

Once his empty dishes were tended, he decided he wanted to climb me and start licking my face. I think he was going for any trace of the shrimp that might remain.
He spent as long as he could going nose to nose and rubbing his face on my cheeks.


The big one is sick of his antics, and was hiding in the basement.

No pictures. The catlet won't sit still long enough (even when held), the big one isn't photogenic enough.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Those things they're sitting on are called jewelry armoires. They are giant jewelry cabinets that women put all their stuff in. These are always for sale on Facebook Marketplace and even though some of them cost quite a bit of money when they were new 30 years ago you can get them for almost nothing now and they still look really nice. I get them because the cats love them and they have lots of drawer space for all kinds of small things, like tools. I have two of them that are full of nothing but tools. So far I have six but I've got my eye on two more. I just got the dark one today and the cats already love getting up on both of them at once.
