  • I feel for you! The amount of times I’ve torn my living space apart to find something in an unusual but simple place (Or just never see it again). “It’ll be safe here”, “I’ll never miss it if i put it right here”… Some say our brains have all the information that they haver ever processed. Why does it fight us so hard when we try to retrieve something we know damn well it has the answers to?

    How can I be sooo disgusted by human feet yet want to tickle little toe beans so badly.

    We have an orange cat that I threaten to tickle his toe hairs all the time (his toes splay out when you get them and he gets all feisty, yet gentle playing, i know he really loves it). If I heard someone talking like that over a person’s feet, I’d prob get a lil sick. Even knowing full well what they walk through, I’ll take cat tootsies over human ones all day.








  • Never leave them alone together and it should be OK. We had an adult who was just a little funny in the head. Big super fluffy orange tabby. We had a small candle in the middle of our coffee table burning. Somehow, this crazy head decided it would then be good, while we were watching a movie, to do his most acrobatic love stretches around our legs and the coffee table. As we tried to push him away from the table a little his tail was moving around like a little periscope, or feeler, or something… next thing we knew, as he finally did move away, there was a little perfect tiny flame on the very tippy tips of his tail hair as he ran off. Of course I jumped forward to put him out, which he thought was a chase game and took off. I was young and able to dive and tackle him to make sure he didn’t burst into flames or something. Just a couple burnt hairs, gross smell, and lost trust with me for the next day or so because of the tackle. He was super “special” his whole life and did things none of our other cats have. But, it put me on guard for the possibilities that exist and I’m super cautious with flames and fur going forward.
