Becca also watched this cat arrange their paws for five minutes. Who actually wasted their time? No one, that’s who.
even twitter has a soul
i’ll get my coat
Same reason you avoided stepping on joints between pavement stones when you were a kid
Protecting its mother’s spine?
You don’t ask why with cats.
“Didn’t get second breakfast OR second dinner in AGES!! Mailing myself away”
I’m glad nobody is watching me all the time and making fun of the things I do and posting it to the internet. I don’t know how many countless times I’ve done something even more worthless than trying to put my feet on a piece of paper.
Is it the sound? My cat’s absolute favorite toy was a felt ball with crinkly, noisy plastic in it. But she also loved sitting on card stock laid on soft surfaces.
All my cats have liked crinkly things. Maybe because it instinctively reminds them of the rustling of prey in grass?
Babies go nuts for crinkles for a few months of development. I wonder if it’s related.
Possibly, although it wouldn’t be because of the prey thing! More like it provides stimulating sensory feedback.
Crinkly
This is art
For some reason our cat absolutely loves dragging/pulling a piece of paper on the floor. Leaves a tiny piece out and he’s moonwalking around the room with it.
It is not your place to ask. It is your place to admire.
Defined spaces feel safer.
The ritual is complete
It is funny how much cats enjoy different surfaces, leave out a notebook? Come out and a cat is sitting/laying on it, box left out? There’s a cat in there now.
Piece of paper? You guessed it, cat butt plopped right down.
And yet. Aluminum foil is a very anti cat material
We covered the beds with it while we’re on vacation. Going to find out today how well it worked.
My cats do not gaf, though I have heard that mentioned before as a way to try and train them to not get on certain surfaces.
The days before vacation our cats were in or on luggage at all times. My cat (we all get one…so far) is a on someone’s article of clothing. If there’s no hoodie or jacket laying around he’ll use a pile of laundry right next to a perfectly good cat bed.
My cat builds himself entire nests out of loose paper he finds laying around. We’ve come home to find him nestled on the middle of the couch on top of sheets of paper, looking very proud of himself.
Same with mine. I started tossing that thin brown packing paper from deliveries into a corner behind an armchair. It’s like his own little paper jungle and he loves it. Just have to remember to fluff it occasionally and pull out the old stuff.
Haha, semi-similar there was wrapping paper on the floor, he had clearly chewed it up/ripped it up and similarly made a nest of sorts on the pile. Cats are silly.
The Contract must be abided.
Floor is lava
