cats

Polly is helping out at work today. She usually likes to spend her day outside but it's supposed to be hot today!

The cat preemption rules seem to work as designed: an interruption (me taking a photo) aborts the cleaning process; the cat then services the interrupt first, and finally, after the interrupt handler finishes, it continues to clean itself where it left off.

... have kitty sleep on desk whilst working.

We recently made a calendar full of pictures of Beri to add to the collection. The LEGO thingy was made by my brother and me a few years ago, and the 2026 calendar was gifted by some students to my dad.

He was napping and woke up when I walked by and meowed until I gave him pets

I was thinking crunchwrap, but wife said no. Male cat

Fits perfectly.

I got an android equivalent of Airtag and a cat collar holder, thinking to check where my cat hangs out when he's not home. Not on a regular basis, but to let him wear it a few times to get an idea if i ever have to look for him.

My cat doesn't normally wear any collar, and this collar is a safety release one, so I'm a bit worried it may fall off in one of the neighbours garden, which would be embarrassing to retrieve.

Anyone with experience of using the Tags to track their cat?

Cow cat! First neighborhood cat that hasn't run away the second it saw me!

I guess Tangerine also didn't run away, but Tangerine dissappeared like 15 years ago sadly.

Hey all,

so we have 2 beautiful british shorthairs from the shelter. They love each other and get along really well.

One is extremely vocal. It took us a while and some vet visits to make sure he isn't in pain. He isn't - he's just a screamer.

Now, his meows are cute most of the time, but he has now started meowing around 6am, both loudly and constantly, when we'd still like to sleep. He is very much into food, so he probably starts yelling the moment he gets a little hungry.

Have you had similar experiences and any advice?

One of our cats displaying almost all of his mixed toe beans. It looks inviting, yes, but don’t go in there because it’s a deathtrap…
