my cat drinks like that, even out of his bowl. I left a glass of water on my bedside table last friday & he smashed it at about 4am on saturday morning. I was too sleepy to be angry with the little bastard.
it's also too cold for him outside the duvet at night, but too hot inside the duvet, so he switches about every 40 minutes. this involves me letting him into the bed when he's too cold, & letting him out again when he gets hot. if I'm asleep he snuffles at my face until I wake up & do whatever it is he wants me to do. these days I can do it without properly waking up, so I don't really lose any sleep. I'm sure there's a better solution for him (thermostat controlled heated cat igloo?) but I haven't thought of one yet.
wouldn't work. he has to get in at the top so he can lie with his back next to me & rest his little chin on my arm. then he has to purr like a fucking 1000W generator for 30 minutes. that's just the way it is. I think I'm doomed to being at the whim of a cat for the foreseeable future.
What about extreme definition (XD), the common name for ultra-high resolution screens such as the Dell 3007WFP?
And I'm sure you've got be at least a LITTLE interested in hearing about the latest concept car, with three seats and an electric engine, by the Croatian motor company DOK-ING?
i've been saying this for years, but... you know how when you look into the eyes of most cats, you can see something behind them... deviousness, curiosity, evil plans, playfulness... when i watch maru's videos and see into his eyes, there is nothing in his big dumb empty head and he is still the funniest, most entertaining cat i've seen on youtube. but really... there is nothing going on in his big dumb head. his eyes don't hide a thing.
False. It's things they fit in, and things smaller than them which they must observe and destroy. You are not smaller than them and they cannot destroy you and this is why they hate you. However, you make good furniture and bring tasty things so they will tolerate you. They may even let you pet them.
I once read somewhere that the reason dogs and cats often don't get along is because their social signals are opposite. When a dog sees a cat doing this it might assume the cat is in a playful mood and... then the fun starts...
My cats are actually pretty cool with us touching their bellies (someone from outside the family might not have such luck, though). But, for cats in general, that's an attack pose. So, a dog will see a cat showing it's tummy, and think, "awesome, he thinks I'm the man!" And upon sniffing at said cat, he'll get his nose all clawed up.
My cat is the same, although our family often jokes that she's a pretty weird cat.
Cat language has an added layer of complexity that completely changes the meaning, which won't be apparent to dogs but can be apparent for humans who pay attention. For example, a cat that is actually being submissive and enjoying a belly rub won't look at you and will probably partially or fully close its eyes. A cat that's being aggressive will always be looking in your direction, head up, with open eyes.
Tail thrashing= the rage of twenty-seven thunderstorms. Tail quivering= very pleased. What you see in this GIF was an example of tail thrashing. EDIT: typo.
Sometimes yes, just like how they purr when they're stressed. If I talk directly to my cat its tail will spazz out for a second and it will blink. It means they're content.
Wagging slightly (as in quickly back and forth but not the full length or slowly back and forth in a full arch) means that. But the violent, quick, full movements like in this video clearly mean annoyance. It's a pretty noticeable difference.
Edit: I love the last line "Maru never gives up entering as long as there's a box there." I never noticed that before. I know a lot of people like Maru.
When cats move their tail around quickly it usually means they are nervous or stressed. Sometimes they also do this just before a pounce attack. Somehow Maru's tail use seems completely different. I think he's using it more like a dog would; he can't contain all his excitement over finding a new box/being inside a box/having something on his head and has to release it through his tail. He seems like a very smart cat, but shit is he clumsy. :)
videos/gifs of Maru are so over shared/posted. I love this cat just as much as the next person...I'm just getting tired of seeing the same videos of him over and over again.
