Cats

I started to make cold smoked salmon at work because my one cat Nick loved it. He could smell the package and would vibrate meowing all werid. Buying it was pricy, I could make it for 1/2.
Btw I’m a butcher/master sausage maker.
That cat was a runt when we got him, sat on my lap for dinner every night for 15 years. I remember when I went thru my hot food phase, damn me and that cat could eat some serious heat. I had friends and family walk away from dinner and Nick and I are chowing down. He would snuggle like a baby under the blankets in between your arms in bed. I’ll never get another cat like him.
That's awesome. :)

My "oldest" has such a personality. He is a big lover, whenever I have people over they compliment him for being so "unusual."
I fear the day that I will part from him or any of my cats.
It's funny because animals are supposed to be like 1/10 our intelligence but we can learn so much from them.
 
Here is Stranger, he has been coming here for a couple years. Stray and I think his growth is slightly stunted from malnutrition.

It took a good 6-10 months before he would sleep inside. My other three cats are pretty nice about sharing their territory.

He will usually have some scratches in his face and on the back of his neck.

That's what is different about cats and dogs.

You really got to fight to earn a cat's trust. If you do one thing mean or bad, it will erase years worth of progress.
Good for you, and the kitty. :)

I can hold Stranger now too, and he acts so different than my other cats. When I hold him, he relaxes his whole body and lets me take him. My other cats don't really like when I hold them, the girl I have hates it. Which I understand and respect, I hate when somebody tries to lift me up too.
 
Do you guys play music or movies for your cats when you leave home?

I will put on a youtube 8 hour relax mix or play some classical piano for my cats.

I leave my tv on all the time.
When we travel and someone else looks after the cats, so pretty much just checks once a day and feeds them, I set the timer on the tv for them so they are not lonely.

I’ve been known to dance with the cats in the basement while listening to music while I work out, lol.

What Channel?! HAHA

That's awesome am sure they like that.
 
That's hilarious. Cats are awesome, I love when they start mimicking birds to fool them to come down and then they snatch 'em. And people think cats are "stupid."



LMAO that video! Cats are the best man. And they definitely aren't stupid, people think dogs are smarter because they respond to their name, but I saw a study that basically said that cats know their own name too they just don't care enough to respond to it lol. The ultimate savages:cool:

Yeah I agree. I am a fan of all animals :)

I heard ferrets have a huge personality too!
 
Cats come when you call their name.
The maincoon that hangs outside when I'm home, comes home when I call him.
I trained him with pats and snacks to come when he’s called.
Dogs obey, cats need to be nurtured if you want them to do things for you.
I had one that was like a Russian Blue, that would fetch. I taught him by flicking beer tops, lol.
Then he would bring everything over to play fetch.
Had a female Siamese like cat that loved Baileys.
All my cats love cheese strings and hot dogs, lol.

I can vouch that they do. They have scent glands and put off a musky, fairly pungent smell, especially when kept in a small / smaller enclosure. They love to explore and play too. They can be potty trained and leash trained as well.

I had one when I was 18, a sable. She was awesome, super personable, funny, cool, interesting, a total thief of anything shiny, but they definitely stink. Eventually we put a 5 ft piece of 3” diameter pvc pipe outside the back patio, attached to the house, for her “home” instead of her cage. She loved it, would come in and out of the car door, always come upstairs in the living room and run around to say Hi and Che k on everyone, and she like to play with the cats. Awesome animal if you ask me. I remember at the time I had a ported 18” speaker subwoofer box in my room. Things like my stepmom’s earrings, watches, coins, shiny/metallic wrappers, etc, kept disappearing. One day I saw her dragging an empty Doritos bag into the port, and when I checked there was a whole plethora of “treasure” in there she had been collecting.

Loved her. I named her Switches - dorky, yes, but back then I was into the Lowrider scene and had a ‘63 Chevy BelAir Wagon on hydraulics, and the way ferrets slink and arch their backs reminded me of raising and lowering my car, which had 10 switches. I was a dork. My dad renamed her Molly and pretty much adopted her when I went off to college.

Definitely a cool pet, but illegal in CA for stupid reasons. I just moved to Phoenix, not sure if they’re legal in AZ. I should check it out, because I wouldn’t mind getting another one.

I’ve been looking into getting an Asian / Oriental small-clawed Otter, since they are the only legal Otters to own in the US, don’t actually live in water (just need a swimming area, like a small kids plastic pool), are awesome and super fun / friendly from what I’ve researched, I loooooove Otters, and they kind of remind me of a ferret.
 
i have a thing for cats with different colored eyes. i think it's called heterochromia. is it normal?
