The cat’s like WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU BRING HOME
I will always share this LOL
I relate on a spiritual level with the absolute fury in that cat’s face in the last gif
No no no, that is not an angry cat, that is a patient cat!!! Look at that relaxed body language! That cat is letting that puppy chew on its ear–I guarantee you it does NOT have to put up with that. Puppo’s excited paws are flailing all over kitty’s face yet all we get is a patient slow blink??? No thrashing tail, either, please note.
This is not an angry kitty. This is a VERY GOOD KITTY who is being super duper patient with a very young pupper and has probably been around puppies all its life. A Very Good Cat indeed!!!
I’m constantly seeing that crying cat meme on my dash and i gotta remind yall that cats and dogs do not cry naturally, those animals all have eye infections
i’m just worried this kind of anthropomorphism is going to lead to people not recognizing that their animals are sick.
dont worry, this is super photoshopped! this is the original, healthy cat:
thats the devil actually
Cats crack me up because they’ll just like walk over you without a care to wether you want them to or not
THAT STUPID MEOW AT THE END

What is this

That’s a lie
Breakfast shenanigans with Sheik (full version)
My cat does not play that
I WANT THAT CAT SO BAD, YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND
nothing makes you, as a pet owner, feel more like an asshole than having to give your cat medicine
there’s no good way to do it. theres no winning. you put the drops in your cat’s ear or smear flea stuff on their neck or give them a pill and you ALWAYS come out of it being the asshole. sorry that i love you, wallace! i want you to not be filled with parasites! please endure my curing slime!
This whole post is probably the best advertisement for why you should train voluntary medical behaviors with your pets long before they have health issues. If your cat is used to you fussing with their ears and eyes and has been taught that allowing it gets them super high value rewards, then when you do have to smear goop in their eyes or put drops in their ears you’re starting with something that is a normal part of their day and something they like - not with an interaction they’d already hate even before you introduced the medicine.
When I first got Aster I knew right away I wanted him to be willing to sit still for a veterinarian. My previous cats growing up had to be sedated, they were dangerous. That wasn’t going to be Aster.
So I started messing with him, just a little, every day, and rewarding him with a little treat every time. This proved very fruitful because he wound up having to go to the vet multiple times for recurring ear infections for which he had to take oral and topical meds. Every time he took his meds he got a little snack, so when it was time to dose him he didn’t fight or cry or run away, just took it and waited for the payout.
To this day he’s incredibly well behaved at the vet and gets his ears cleaned and his shots without a struggle. I may have failed to train him not to destroy blinds but at least we have this.
Downside to this: Ashiko has damn near KO’d a vet tech with affectionate head bumps.
@j183 remember that time we found a weave in that cat walk and we blew it off and it landed in one of the seats below and I don’t think we ever found it
