That's a good point, she does not have a heated bed. Though, even in the summer she still jumps on warm laundry...
Her face says "fuck off and die."
Her purrs say "I'm really happy. Now fuck off and die."
Thanks!
Agreed!
Thanks, we're both pretty happy about it!
Not the greatest pic but one of my happiest. This elderly gal had seizures about a year ago and has been on some pretty heavy meds that gave her trouble with big jumps etc. So, she hasn't felt comfortable going to some of her favourite perches (I can only make so many ladders etc.)
Anyhow, vet said she's doing really well on her meds and we could lower the dosage. We're on the second lowering and she is much less stumbly and for the first time in 2025 has felt comfortable enough to go back to one of her favourite little nooks.
When I saw her there, my smile nearly broke my face.
I've only ever had one cat and she is definitely a Smart cat and I would argue a Good one.
It's been pretty easy training her to stay off electronics/furniture, most morning wellness checks happen after the alarm and even takes medicine like a champ.
I don't have any real sort of baseline but I feel my cat understands a lot of the intent behind my words and often acts accordingly, more than most animals and many small children with whom I've worked.
