Share My Cat Thread #7

The tongue sticking out is just so cute!
Maybe she doesn't like the bowl, are the sides too high on it? You could try just putting little bit of dry food on a plate to test her with that?

She just pushes the food about when eating, she will eat what’s on the floor lol she’s half dog I tell you
The other bowl is on a stand so gonna get her another one of them from tk max.
She has a little table to rise the bowls up but she puts her paws on it lol (it’s a choppin board from lidi)

Is there anything more friendly than a cat with muddy feet? Bonus points for getting my clean jeans.

OK cool, I was thinking too maybe she didn't like the dry food or maybe it hurt her mouth etc but since you say she does eat it all then that isn't a problem either.
Have you seen those silicone mats that come in lots of different shapes and colors, but they all have a little bump around the edges to keep food on the mat. I have 2 for my cats, it mostly works but not completely. It does make a difference though. Do you think something like that might keep the food in 1 place or will she out smart it?

I think she would put smart it! When she was a kitten she ate so fast! I had to get one of them bowls mainly for dogs to help slow down.
She’s just a piggy when it comes to food especially if she loves it! I’ve made a rookie mistake n got shop own brand wet food…refused it! So back to whiskers!

Perhaps a little hand held hoover to clean up the mess she doesn't devour then

Again, I have the doggy ones as they're bigger (and shaped like a bone) - I use the large doggy-sized food mat as well (also with a bone motif).

It's not like Jimmy can read anyways.

I clear it up when she’s not about.

That’s what he wants you to believe, whilst he plots your downfall for such a heinous crime as giving him dog stuff

I’m kidding of course!

To be fair, he is rather dog-like.

Follows me around the house with a "What are we doing now?" air about him and is always interested in greeting visitors to the house and getting a cuddle.

He's the least stand-offish cat I've ever known.

I wonder if he has a bit of Maine Coon in him? They're very dog-like and also nosy, they like to follow their people around and enjoy hanging out.

Ahh cats, determined to forever remain mysterious!

Also, Selkirk Rex!

I don't know any Selkirk Rex cats just Devon and Cornish. Googling now.

 

[Wooh]

Thus the perfect opportunity to send a photo of my late Bossy!

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

Beautiful.

 

[Wooh]

She was the BEST!

That's a cool cat ‍

 

[Wooh]

She was always rolling about to exhibit her exuberance.

Ooh I love this house.
Mate, this is great hanging outwith a pony.
We're on an emergency road trip for your parents?
Cool tent, love the beach

Bossy's pedigree name was X Little Blossom (my choice, it had to start with L to show the breeder's number of litters.) Her pet name was going to be Blossy, but she marched into our home and sorted out the two older male cats within minutes. They adored her.

But her name also is because of the campaign "ban bossy" which some people came to think was a bit flawed, but I loved it. At the end, Beyonce says, "I'm not bossy; I'm the boss". Niiiice!

 

[Wooh]

Indulge me one more Boss story:

I had to tend to a sick cow in a gully. It was a dark late winter night. The two border collie dogs (pets, not working dogs as you'll glean) ran around like idiots until it was a bit cold and dark and wet for them, so I proceeded alone. Then I heard a rustle running leaping etc and it was my cat! She bounded by my side and sat on the cow's flank as I injected penicillin, then sat with me purring and chatting until the cow arose, then we returned to house and the bloody dogs were all, hey want to play? And she walked up to one and smacked him hehe

And this is why I adore cats .
My late mum took in a semi feral cat at 3 months, lived till she was 20. A chap lived at the other end of the road to my parents and his great dance refused point blank to walk past my parents house - he was terrified of the cat - she'd chased him up the length of the road and the poor mutt never got over it .
