You need to feed cat in bed so he doesn't have to get up.

Neighbor cat was over and annexed the cardboard box for a while but couldn't leave as cat was lurking outside.
gif highly related.
Eventually both went to sleep on my couch right next to each other.

Lewd!
Cats make sure I pet them, if necessary by force, nose-poking and pawing at me if I stop.

I stepped on a dead mouse today.
It made a nasty crunching sound and turned into a comically flat 2D shape, eyes still looking at me. Good thing it was outside and I was wearing shoes. Should have taken pics but I only thought of it after burying it. Cat had paraded with a caught mouse yesterday but disappeared through the cat door and came back without it. I had assumed it was eaten but obviously not.

Well, cat was like 'Would you like a mouse? Aww, too bad, you can't have it!' Then ran off with my 'gift' and carelessly left it outside on the street. That feel when trolled by cat.

Right now cat is sleeping next to me under the blanket, only the nose is sticking out. Purrs a lot.

Cat walks over me a lot too, sometimes even stepping on my face. Gotta love it.

Today cat brought 2 mice within a few minutes. First a tiny one, ran off with it like last time. Then reappeared with a bigger mouse and left it for me in the kitchen with lots of meows. Cat probably thought the small one wasn't good enough as a gift. Still don't get where all the mice come from considering how many cats live around here.

Yep.
But then again there's also a cat problem. And a marten problem. Even a fox problem. Yet all those predators can't seem to crack down on the mouse population. Well, so far they don't seem to get into the house. At least not alive.

Some years ago I had dormice under the roof. They're unbelievably cute but make a lot of noise for their size. Even though they're actually named Edible dormice in English and were famously eaten by the ancient Romans, cat didn't really care about them. They were gone at some point but for once I don't think cat was to blame.

Dogs can be cute too, but in the cat thread I r8 it heresy!

Neighbor cat was busy stalking something in the high grass and bushes today.
At first I thought he was hunting for insects but he was combing a small area for about 2 hours, extremely focused. At some point a visibly exhausted mouse ran by me, having evaded the cat who was some meters away, and hid in a corner stacked with pots and gardening tools.
Neighbor cat left but returned with my cat a short time later. After a bit of surveillance they had found and literally cornered the poor mouse from 2 sides and were quietly observing the corner. For at least another hour.
Eventually neighbor cat made a small leap, I heard a squeak and he was carrying off the mouse as he went home.

I've never observed them hunt so thoroughly, was interesting. You really can't say they're not doing their job. So dedicated! Cat brought another mouse in the evening, now is sleeping on my lap.

What's best award for cat?


Today cat got thoroughly wet while I was watering the garden because she has far too much confidence in me. Just like with getting stepped on. Cat assumes I see her and certainly would not harm her so there's no need to move out of the way. But often I doesn't. Cat is well camouflaged and loves to sit in obscure places - or right behind me. Also cat doesn't understand I can't see equally well in the dark.

However cat apparently understands very well that such unfortunate events are accidents and not intended so she isn't mad at me. And I step on cat a lot.

My cat destroyed a rabbit and I saw it all and I'd never seen this side of him before and now I respect him even more
