Wonderful. That toy is going nowhere ?

lovely ?"Hiding" on the sofa, lol, and him literally trying to figure out what I'm thinking about him being in my chair. Often, he very intentionally curls up on my chair to force me to the sofa and lie down which causes him immediately to leap from the chair, dart across the room, jump on the sofa and sprawl all over me -- crafty little guy!

I put a folded fleece blanket on my chair. If the cat sleeps on it, I slide my hands under the blanket and can move him without disturbing him. I do this in my recliner also, when the cat is on the folded blanket on my lap, I can move him if I have to get up to get another beer, and then return him to my lap when done, all on the folded blanket. Works great. I call it the Port-A-Puddy system. They love it too, once they get used to it.Can I sympathize. My wife got me a new office chair for my study, so I thought, oh boy, now the cats can sit in the old one, and I'll have a chair of my own. As they used to say in the Navy, dream on, sailor boy.
Now they each take a chair, and I fill in with something else. Sometimes I move them, but for unknowable reasons, I feel really badly about it, so usually I don't.
We adopted an older stray once, and it was at least a year before she would sleep in the open when alone. Otherwise she would burrow into or under something. She was deaf, which I'm sure made survival outside more difficult.maybe my cat is a rescue and it took a long time for him to realize he can go on the couch.
I had to show the guy how to be a cat. Thankfully I am well versed in cat. Though he's unusually vocally expressive. Actually not hard to read what he's saying most of the time.We adopted an older stray once, and it was at least a year before she would sleep in the open when alone.

One of our current guys was feral when young, and luckily he bonded with our other cat who taught him how to be a house cat and relax and enjoy life.
It's probably "Don't you think it's time to feed the cat"?Actually not hard to read what he's saying most of the time.
How true ?It's probably "Don't you think it's time to feed the cat"?
no he never says that, but sometimes he says "I am going to die from a lack of fishies" Then "hey I am about to die from a lack of fishies". He says that at least once a day.It's probably "Don't you think it's time to feed the cat"?
Your Puppy Chow bill must be huge!My daughter snapped a pic of me this evening, passed out on the couch with the puppies. (14 wks old now)

All I can say sir, is those are the best pics I've seen posted anywhere in a long, long time! It's a wonderful life!!Between the two growing pups and the older one, we're going through 60-70 lbs of dry food & around cans of wet food/ week right now.
If you think that's bad, I've also got four teenagers (3 boys, 1 girl) & a 3 y/o with a hole in his leg! ?
