Welcome to the Wednesday Cats of Catster! Each month, we ask our cat-loving Catsters to weigh in on a brand new matter. This week, we requested them: What’s Your Favourite Factor About Your Cat? What Are Your Cat’s Favourite Issues? Right here’s what they needed to say:
Crystal & Ivy
Identical to we people have our favourite issues, our kitties do, too! Listed here are a couple of of Ivy’s all-time favorites.
As everyone knows, cats LOVE sleeping. And as they age, they spend much more time sleeping.
With this being stated, Ivy is large on her sleep! She completely loves sleeping late within the mornings. Most days, I’m up and at ‘em by 08:00 am. Ivy solely rolls away from bed round 11:00 am! Throughout this time, she is to not be disturbed. As in, in any respect.
She additionally has two favourite spots on the mattress – both on my face or between my legs. She’s positively made me change how I sleep, however even when I’m uncomfortable, I really like that she nonetheless sleeps with me. I assumed this could be one thing she’d develop out of, however fortunately not! She additionally enjoys cuddling however, in typical cat vogue, solely on her phrases.
One other of Ivy’s absolute favorites is a deal with referred to as ‘Biskitty.’ My fiance began a morning ritual that includes Ivy leaping on her cat tree after which receiving a few bum pats – and, in fact, a few Biskitty treats!
Even on days when my fiance is away for work, she expects her bum pats and treats. She would rise up from mattress (ultimately), run over to the cat tree, and meow – all while giving me the ‘demise stare.’ Additionally, if I overlook to place the deal with container away, there’s a 100% probability that she’s going to try to open it by knocking it over (she has succeeded a couple of occasions, ensuing within the deal with container now being saved out of cat-reach). Fairly certain she’d put certainly one of her 9 lives on the road for only a crumb of Biskitty!
She’s by no means actually had a lot curiosity in conventional cat toys obtainable at pet outlets. After spending a moderately questionable amount of cash on tons of various toys, we found the fan favourite: ping pong balls!
Merely bouncing the ball on the ground is sufficient to get her full consideration! We dwell in a double-story townhouse, with the second story being a loft. Once we play collectively, we throw the ping pong ball as much as the loft from the bottom flooring, leading to a mad sprint to the highest from Ivy, to chase down the ping pong ball. On some nights when she’s feeling significantly wild, she would chase the ball round within the loft for what feels (and sounds) like hours! Very noisy, however very cute!
She’s a easy woman, actually! Snoozing, treats, and ping pong balls are a really small worth to pay for the unconditional love and laughs she offers us!
Isabel & Milly
Milly and I even have loads in frequent for 2 gals from completely different species. For instance, Milly loves consuming every time she’s introduced with a snack. I, too, have seldom turned down a meals providing. Milly loves mendacity stretched out within the solar. She even is aware of which rooms get the most effective solar at particular occasions through the day.
Equally, I get pleasure from spending time within the solar, tanning, doing yoga, or gardening. We’re each sassy, unbiased, not large followers of crowds, like to Netflix and chill and we’re each obsessive about one another.
Let me inform you extra about Milly’s different favourite issues.
Firstly, her favored nap spots. Her cat tree has this half-pipe, cylindrical spot which she has claimed as her favourite spot of all time. It’s positioned proper by the entrance window with essentially the most lovely views of mountains, a golf course, massive gardens with a strolling path under which sees many a furry and human passerby, and a various assortment of birds frolicking about.
A brand new, however robust contender for her favourite napping spot is her Hepper Nest mattress conveniently positioned on my desk the place I spend most of my day. She loves being by my facet whereas I work, I also have a small duster on stand-by to comb my desk 5-10 occasions a day as a result of she prances round my setup round 5 out of the 8 hours a day I’m there.
She was actually impressed after I positioned the Nest on my desk. She will get to be near me and petted whereas I work, and I get to truly see my display screen with out clouds of cat hair floating round. It’s a win-win.
My favourite factor about Milly is understanding she desires to be near me regardless that she’s not essentially the most affectionate or cuddly cat. She chooses me each day, and that’s an unbelievable honor.
Catch me and Milly subsequent time to learn extra about her favourite issues about being a cat and my favourite issues about being a cat proprietor!
Wes & Raphy
My favourite factor about Raphy is his presence. Now, I don’t imply that in the way in which you would possibly assume. Raphy simply LOVES being round us once we’re residence, and I discover it essentially the most great companionship. If I’m sitting on the ground, he’ll come and sit on the ground subsequent to me. If I’m on the sofa, he’ll curl up on the following seat. And if I’m within the lavatory…effectively…the much less stated, the higher! Will he act disinterested? Typically. However I do know deep down, simply by him being there, that he loves me. Typically, when Raphael wakes from a lazy nap in the midst of the day and will get the urge to hang around with us, he received’t be capable of discover us.
Earlier than you’ll be able to slow-blink, all of a sudden he’ll be wailing:
“meow! “meow!”
Loosely translated, I believe which means:
“Hey! The place is everybody?!”
We’ll shout again:
“Raphy, we’re in right here!”
With a bit of “merp” of shock, he’ll come speed-trotting within the route of the directed instructions.
As he joins me in no matter mundane process I’m whiling away the hours on at that second in time, his presence at all times makes me mirror on the truth that we’re so fortunate to have these silent (and typically not so silent), companions in our lives. Simply glad to be part of our day.
