What's on your mind right now?

^^^your cats must have a sweet tooth. the only sweet thing my late cat jelly liked was vanilla ice cream.

The attachment thing was clean but I couldn't find it after it shot down the hall.

They were very interested in the butter in the batter, however.

I had to stash everything buttery away quickly before I could wash it.

How tall is the gate? lol but seriously - mine are jumpers.

Macbeth sits on top of the fridge like a watchdog.
He also likes to dive onto the stove top, hot or not.
Hex is a scavenger who will grab anything and run to her lair - even vegetables.
Wills isn't too bad but she'll growl if any of them go near her dish.
Weej is a counter jumper - up down up down up down when I move around.
Actually they all go on the counter.
I disinfect it several times a day.
Old Man will just howl incessantly until you get a migraine.
They all eat on the table because otherwise my dog would eat their food.
He's allergic to their food.
It's a bloody circus here, I tell you!

My two stay off the counters when I'm looking, because I used to take a firm tone when they did jump on them, when they were younger. But when I come home from being out there are little black, white, and orange hairs that show they've been up there

I have one cat that bullies the other and steals the food, and will also eat all the food available until it's gone. So I have to feed the other one separately and stand nearby while she eats.

I endeavour to feed Hex on her own but as soon as they know food is coming, they all follow me. Getting one separated from the group and shutting a door is next to impossible. They all rush in or out en masse. If I do separate her she's finished eating and clawing at the back of the door to get out, before I can feed the others or my dog.

Yeah, it's crazy. I call it "Feeding the Farm" and it takes a good 30 mins every morning. Then let the dog out, clean up, disinfect the table and counters, wash and refill five water fountains, clean five cat boxes, un-cat-hair the sofa, open all the curtains (risking migraine for myself), and vacuum up any stray hairballs. I broke their highest perch off the cat tower the other day so I had to order a whole new tower, and they're all quite disillusioned with me in the meantime.

My daughter is never very impressed when I stay at MR's for a while.
There's a limit to how long I can be gone.

It's my oldest cat tree (2020), and I tried to move it by pushing on the top perch.
Whoops.
The bolt that holds the pillar broke the hole in the plywood shelf.
If that makes sense?
The hole broke and is now too big to reattach the post.

I could maybe get a new piece of plywood?
It would have to be perfectly measured with all the same holes.
Then recarpeted.

Nah.

I have two other trees but they're quite a bit shorter, more like raised beds.

I must admit I got carried away in the cat department.
Blame my ADHD for that.

I only un-cat-hair my sofa about once per month with the vacuum upholstery attachment. But I have a couple cheap flannel shirts I keep hanging up for when I'm at home, that I don't mind getting covered in cat hair. My two cats do have relatively short hair though.

I once had mine trained to eat a couple times a day, but now they get fed every through hours when I'm home. And they're getting old and set in their ways so they're used to that now. I am not firm enough to put up with them complaining to try and change it either, so I think that's just how things are going to go now.

I love "feeding the farm". The things we do for our pets Totally worth it

I better go call it a night so I can get up early enough to feed them on time in the morning, or they will be really harassing me.

It doesn't cost anything to be nice

Technology's got a nerve I think
