Let's See Your Cats!!!

Judging by his size, looks like he has figured out how to get them before.

 

He's just big boned.

 

my tortie does the same thing, i cant figure out why

 

My cat is of the 'larger' variety...I make fun of him for it all the time but for some reason whenever someone else does, I get sad and defensive for him lol.

He's not fat, he's just full of love

 

It kind of makes me think maybe he wants fresher water and I should be cleaning out his water feeder more often. It's one of those trays that pulls water up and pours it back out like a waterfall, I take it apart to clean it once a week cause it starts to get gross if I don't from 3 cats drinking out of it (yes we have 3, mine and my fiance's 2). Should probably do it a couple times a week.

 

she sleeps w her toy so the other cats wont get a chance to play with it.

Yeah that’s it.

Or it’s all muscle!!

 

Mine too. She likes to chase the evil things only she can see.

 

I like the way you are trying to figure out what your cat wants.

 

he's got me figured me out, I guess I should try to do the same lol

 

Another benefit of having a large cat are back massages. If I'm laying on my bed, mine will stand on my back and do that kneading thing they do with their paws for 10 min or so...since he's a solid 14lbs it feels awesome. Just gotta make sure his claws aren't sharp.

 

When we had to bathe Albert when he was younger he would destroy us when in the tub. As he got in his later years he would get mangy a lot easier and needed more frequent bathing. I don’t know why I didn’t think about it years before but I’d just fill a 5 gallon bucket 2/3 full with warm water and we’d just dunk him right into it. We didn’t want him fighting as much and it kept him more confined and was so easy to soak him before soaping him up and then dunk for rinsing. We tried to make it fun for him and just tell him he was going in the jacuzzi. Sure miss my boy.

 

People bathe their cats..?

 

Yup. You need to for their and your own health. Our two indoor cats get bathed once every 2-5 months depending on need.

 

My indoor/outdoor cat gets bathed whenever it rains, since we've got him trained so that he'd rather pee outdoors than use a litter box.

 

Ours too!

 

Not only do you avoid having to scoop the boxes but you avoid getting shredded too. Awesome plan!!!

 

Yeah, and he loves the hell out of us when he comes back in from a rain storm because he gets toweled off. Works great for when we go away for a few days camping or something, too (during the summer). We just fill up his food & water, leave a window open, and he comes and goes as he pleases.
