I like when one shows the white of her eyes, it looks so funny and intentful 👀
Edit: 69! Nice, u guys?!
This.
And sometimes she’ll just stare at a wall.
Silly void feets!
My cat managed to crash a fresh install of Debian Stable to an unrecoverable state, just by walking across the keyboard.
I had to reinstall, but of course she still got treats for doing such a good job as software tester.PawSense is a Windows package that tries to detect when a cat is walking across a keyboard and locks it.

I don’t know of a Linux equivalent, though I’d swear I remember something similar that was targeted at the author’s young 2-year-old daughter, was named after her, but which I cannot now find.
Haha, I hope thats not like a habit for her. I would def not be cool with that 😂 That would be like day 2 housebreaking acatdemy
I’m pretty permiceive with mine but definitely have a robust set of policies lol
Oh, it definitely is.
I tried to keep her off my stuff in the beginning. But she’s more stubborn than I am, and keeps trying again, for hours and days if necessary. At some point I just gave up.
Now, when she wants to sit down on the keyboard, I quickly lock it and accept that it’s time for a break and some scritches.
Comes up and puts a paw on my arm or leg, but only when she feels the problem is serious. It could be water, food, liter box, or just a notion that I need to give attention due to hours working on some project or something; usually when I’m seriously hurting or sleep deprived. I’m always present, only ever leaving for doctors or a physical therapy routine. I’m accessible for both cats most of the time. The older seems to intuit not to abuse the gesture or use it often. When she does put her paw on me like that, I always look into the issue, so we’ve developed it as a form of direct communication that seems to work. I didn’t train her to do this, I did however train her to be quiet using positive reinforcement. We got the older cat about 6 months after I was disabled, so we’ve been through a lot together in the last 10 years.
He puts himself to bed! There’s a blanket on the lounge - he wraps himself up in it, and goes to sleep, for hours. If I can’t find him, I look for the breathing lump inside the lounge blanket. I used to think the depictions of Garfield wrapped in a blanket in his bed were just, well, comic book stuff, but no, some cats do this lol.
He also knocks on the door when he needs his toilet changed (we use litter tray liners), to let me know to do it. Yes milord. Work work.
Another one - he’s bad at climbing and has realised when he wants to get up somewhere high (to watch the world from above), he doesn’t actually have to climb up himself. He can just squeal and whimper if I’m in the room and I’ll lift him up there. Hahaha cute lazy bugger.
I couldn’t find my cat when I got back to the room yesterday. I searched all over for her, and finally saw a tiny face inside the cover. She came crawling out before I could take the picture
Aww she’s incredibly cute!
haha searching for my little fella freaked me out the first time he decided to “go to bed”. Now I’m completely chill with the fact there may be faint snoring sounds coming from an otherwise inconspicuous blanket
Thank you! I’ve put her under the cover with me twice since that happened. She likes it a lot. She also loves to be carried like a baby. Only while I’m standing though, if I sit She wants down
What did your cat do between 1939-1945 ?
She mumbled something about Meowschwitz?
Kika (16?yo): she likes to be petted, but she’s wants to be petted in a very specific corner of the house - currently her cardboard box, but it changes over time. So she begs me “pet me, pet me!”, then as I move my hand to pet her she runs to the box, and keeps meowing. Until I go pet her in the cardboard box.
Siegfrieda (7?yo): I don’t know what’s weirder: looking at the rain and meowing at me as if saying “can’t you stop it?”, watching anime with me, or the “overly attached girlfriend” face that she does when someone is eating yoghurt.
They’re manipulative lil fuckers lmao
He runs over and lays in the sink, whenever someone is taking a shower.
EDIT: example:
Your fault for having a cat shaped sink
Siegfrieda also liked to sleep on sinks, although she grew out of the habit:
Cutest little perv
Look at him walking around naked most of the time.
I have a cat with a heart condition who sleeps in the middle of the floor with his eyes open. He is all black too so you can’t see if he’s breathing. It’s gotten me just so many times.
Another cat doesn’t eat directly from the bowl, instead she sits next to the bowl and spears food on her claws and licks it off like it’s a fork.
I read this on reddit so might not be true, but some cats don’t like it when their wiskers touch the rim of the bowl. Try feeding them with a flatter bowl or plate for a few days and see if they stop licking their paw.
Yeah, I’ve read the whisker fatigue thing, I’ve read that it’s probably not true also, but my cat bowls are wide anyway. The cat is just nuts. Like in general. Like she may actually have mental illness. The colony I got her from has produced a lot of cats with congenital issues. I have one with a vsd and another with testicular agenesis (which is apparently extremely rare).
I don’t know how weird it is but my cat seems to understand that when faces are talking from the computer screen my hands will be free for the more important duty of skritching.
She has become a hit during team meetings, to the point where one time she was sleeping and didn’t come prompting half the team to send concerned DMs.
My almost 18 year old lady makes me play follow the leader every morning. She needs a pill, but before she’ll let me grab her we have to walk around the house so she can show me the things that are hers.
My 4 year old likes to watch screens and is particularly enamored with the little webcam views in Teams. So he shows up almost every morning for my stand-up meeting.
Teams is like windows for bosses in the way windows are tv for cats
One of my cats loves to jump up on people’s shoulders. We’ve been practicing, and I can walk around the house (slowly) with him up there.
Holy shit, mine does that too. It’s how we got her, we went to the shelter to pick one and when we entered the cage with all the cats in it, she jumped on my shoulders.
That’s exactly what happened with Porkchop! We opened the kitty cage and he lept out into our arms. I was like, now we can’t just get the first cat that jumps at us, so we did a full walk around but inevitably went right back to him.
Went back two weeks later to adopt his sister.
I love parrot cats
Our youngest comes into the house mewing until someone replies.
After my cat takes a shit, she’ll run around and yowl. Not meow, yowl. She never yowls except post-poo. But she doesn’t want to interact with me during this time. If I acknowledge her then she stops and just meows and walks around regular. So I just let her have her post shit crazy sesh. Like, I get it, I feel great after dropping one, so its good she feels comfortable enough to express her after shit joy.
Our cat loooves to climb the clothing rack. Seem to not understand that it’s not the easiest object to climb…
Do you think we went to the moon because it was easy? This cat is a modern pioneer.
We had a cat that loves to be spun on our office chair. He would dig his claws into the seat while we spun the chair around and around. When it stopped, his head would do the dizzy circular-nod thing. Then he’d meow at us until we did it again. And again. And again.
