Okay, so the craziest thing ever happened to me the other morning. I took my son to school like normal and when we got inside his teacher said “oh, look a cat!” I didn’t look and kept getting my son settled in so I could leave. I sat with him through breakfast and left. As I was walking out I saw the cat across the street and noticed that it was my cat. Surprised that she was there I went to get her. I called her name a couple of times and finally she made her way to me. I placed her in the car confused as hell as to how she got there. She meowed the whole way home. I pondered the whole way home as to how she was in the car on the way there without me noticing. Maybe she had crawled up into the engine? I don’t know. Well when I arrived home I got out and went to open the door for her. I felt something rub against my ankle and I look down and there is my cat. The other cat just looked at me through the car window.. Apparently I found my cats’ twin in the wild. They were a complete mirror image of each other. My mind is still blown.! 🤯
What have you been rolling in, you dirty thing? *casually flips nature’s furry meat grinder on its side in slippery pit* TSK you even got mud in your toes, what a naughty beast
i am so confused that the puma is tolerating this
has it even heard of pumas?
look at the squinty eyes, it’s enjoying a nice grooming. :3
Can’t get this kind of treatment in the wild, after all. All cats love luxury.
so you all know busbus is mostly blind, or something. We’re not entirely sure but he seems to have very little response to visual stimulus unless it’s something like a lit up screen in a dark room or a laser pointer. We’ve noticed he hunts with his ears for moths because once they stop flying he can’t find them. which means he catches it, kills it, then gets sad.
Anyway when we first brought him home our cats were like, cat body language at him and he would be completely nonresponsive. They got really upset and diva bit him a lot and had huge tantrums about it. He sat too close to her, he was on her stuff, he wouldn’t move out of her way. She hated it. And for him he was just suddenly getting bitten and hit so he was very confused.
within days both dorian and diva began vocalising constantly, little brrrts and mmmms, very softly speaking all the time. Sometimes they would up the volume, but only when bus wasn’t right there. Within a week they had developed a vocal substitute for every one of their body languages, and no more problems.
Dorian has a specific type of sound that he makes when he wants bus to come to him for grooming. Bus has a specific sound he makes when he is lost and both other cats have their own version of the response. Like marco polo except you say your own name.
They have words now for ‘hey look a thing to play with’ so bus can come over and join in on the gecko hunt, or ‘i am playing with a toy and i want company’.
they started making lots of noise sometimes when they run, by hitting the ground hard and also digging their claws into the carpet so bus can hear them and chase them. If Diva is just running somewhere and not playing, she doesn’t make any noise when she does. She also uses this to sneak up on bus which i think is decidedly not fair.
Bus also knows human words too. He knows ‘cheese’ and ‘bread’ and if you mention ham he appears with his nose bright pink licking his lips waiting for his share because he fucking LOVES ham.
anywya, cat language is so versatile and im always just so impressed at how my cats who were already 4 and 6 changed their whole communications system when it turned out that bus couldn’t understadn them. ❤
