This is not my neighbour. If one or both of her two beauties do not come prancing around the corner within five minutes of being called, half the village will be mobilized for kitty patrol.

I got a GPS tracker for my dog's collar after her third escape - but she never even attempted a fourth escape. Or perhaps she learned to wait for me to go to bed...

So you have not slept since the third attempt?

Maybe they are also smart enough to come back before they wake up

Only really felt that way about the ones that would stay outside. If I didn't see one of the cats I've had that just liked to stay inside, I'd be concerned. The last one usually would just slip in behind you as you were leaving the pantry or bathroom and get locked in.

I would be devastated if I lost track of my boy Biscuit

What a biscuit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I definitely understand!

He must be protected at all costs

Since seeing this picture, I would be also devastated if you lost track of your boy Biscuit

He's a good boi.

I actually do get concerned and go looking for them. 99% chance they're sleeping somewhere, but what if there's something wrong?

I don’t really like dogs.

One time I was studying for the day at a dog owners house and I was asked to let the dogs outside in the garden at around midday. They didn’t say to let the dogs back in, nor did it ever occur to me that they wanted that. They started to get quite loud in the afternoon.

We had a cat that would always hide. There were times that we didn't see her for over a week. She would only come out to eat when we weren't looking. She eventually ran away and we didn't know she was gone until we hadn't seen her for two weeks and started looking for her. What was really weird is that about once a week she'd come out and beg for attention as if she was the most loving cat in the world, then she'd go back into hiding when she had her fill. She was like this for the entire 10 years that she was part of our family.

Your cat sounds like me in jr high through high school.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Are you perhaps our long lost cat?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 3 weeks ago

Accurate except at feeding time. If they're not all there at that moment, I know something has to be up. They NEVER miss a meal if they can help it.

Not my cat. The day he's not asking for food or attention he's probably dead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or he is being fed by the neighbor. It happened to us, we started to ferry worked because it cat stopped eating, only to realize later that our neighbor was feeding him too.

Mine is so terrified of going outside I think he's been on 4chan. I'm watching for signs of radicalization, he's always been an incel afterall.

One of the nice things about cats is how individual their personalities are. Also one of the difficulties, because all the things that made you a great partner to one cat just piss off another cat, but they are all great in their own way.

Yeah, I totally agree with that.

Had two brothers from the same litter. sometimes it was so obvious they were brothers, like when they'd sit in an identical pose and watch me with hopeful eyes if I was cooking.

Other times they were nothing alike. Different preferences for food, for attention, for the most comfortable position for a cuddle. Lovely boys. They did have the same vocalisations though, only I could tell the difference just from hearing them!
