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 number 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 undoubtedly 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 entails Ivy leaping on her cat tree after which receiving a few bum pats – and, after all, a few Biskitty treats!
Even on days when my fiance is away for work, she expects her bum pats and treats. She would stand up from mattress (finally), run over to the cat tree, and meow – all while giving me the ‘dying stare.’ Additionally, if I neglect to place the deal with container away, there’s a 100% probability that she is going to try to open it by knocking it over (she has succeeded a number of occasions, ensuing within the deal with container now being stored out of cat-reach). Fairly certain she’d put one among 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 retailers. After spending a fairly 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 reside in a double-story townhouse, with the second story being a loft. After 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 value to pay for the unconditional love and laughs she provides us!
Isabel & Milly
Milly and I even have so much in frequent for 2 gals from completely different species. For instance, Milly loves consuming each time she’s introduced with a snack. I, too, have seldom turned down a meals providing. Milly loves lying stretched out in the sun. She even is aware of which rooms get the perfect solar at particular occasions through the day.
Equally, I take pleasure in 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 probably the most lovely views of mountains, a golf course, giant gardens with a strolling path beneath which sees many a furry and human passerby, and a various assortment of birds frolicking about.
A brand new, however sturdy contender for her favourite napping spot is her Hepper Nest bed conveniently positioned on my desk the place I spend most of my day. She loves being by my facet whereas I work, I actually have a small duster on stand-by to brush 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 once I positioned the Nest on my desk. She will get to be near me and petted whereas I work, and I get to really 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 the most affectionate or cuddly cat. She chooses me day-after-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 may assume. Raphy simply LOVES being round us after we’re house, and I discover it probably the most fantastic 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 subsequent seat. And if I’m in the bathroom…nicely…the much less stated, the higher! Will he act disinterested? Generally. However I do know deep down, simply by him being there, that he loves me. Generally, when Raphael wakes from a lazy nap in the course of the day and will get the urge to hang around with us, he gained’t be capable of discover us.
Earlier than you may slow-blink, abruptly he’ll be wailing:
“meow! “meow!”
Loosely translated, I feel which means:
“Hey! The place is everybody?!”
We’ll shout again:
“Raphy, we’re in right here!”
With a little bit “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 sometimes not so silent), companions in our lives. Simply glad to be part of our day.
