He seemed pretty well mannered the last couple of days, staying on his towel and leaving when asked.

Dirtyhip Posted January 4 Share #9 Posted January 4 2 hours ago, Kirby said: Why would he want to leave his home? He showed up last night and got a big meal of a can and a small handful of kibble. I didn't think I would see him today, as I have a full schedule. 6:30 am, there he was peeping in the window. He is hard to ignore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted January 5 Share #16 Posted January 5 I am learning a bunch about kitties. Their tail is a sign of how they are feeling. This morning, Waffle came in for his kibble and some water. His tail was upright in a ? fashion. This means he is alert and ready for interaction. He meowed like a cross between a meow and a purr. This sup[posedly means he is saying like "Hi, again. I like you, human." He rubbed my leg and wrapped his tail around my leg as I washed out his bowl from yesterday and put more kibble in. He ate all his kibble, drank some water and then sat on my lap for about 10 mninutes. I was going to take a pic, but my phone was in the other room. He looked to be smiling as he laid on my lap and was purring. It is very funny to watch him eat out of this gigantic dog bowl. He puts his head way down in the bowl. I don't think he minds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World NewsEdited by Anoushka SharmaUpdated: November 16, 2022 5:57 pm IST Two experiments were carried out to investigate the role of the slow blink in cat-human communication.

I did this the first day he came inside. I did read this about cats. He seemed to warm rather quickly to us. I think it was instinct and hunger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a grain free food. I think this cat eats better than some people. I do think he likes my cooked meat better than the dried kibble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he minds. It may actually be good because it gives his whiskers more room. Small bowls can be hard on sensitive whiskers and create "whisker fatigue" https://www.petmd.com/care/whisker-fatigue-cats-what-it-and-how-help 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Domesticated" animals have survived for so long because they have adapted to the humans. Others are not fairing so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
