Humor What’s one time your cat was actually helpful?

As much as we love these little freeloaders for what they are, it’s always nice when they do something that’s like ~ hell yea that’s why we got you ~ For example. I stepped out of the shower a couple days ago and saw her chasing something around, when I looked closer I realized it was a little silverfish. I watched her smack if around for a second before she just ate it whole. I found it hilarious as i only expected her to play with it and figured i’d have to get if once she killed it. It was one of those hell yea moments. I’d love to hear more stories of cats doing wild cat things.

And for any and everyone that wants to say something about her collar. No it does not bother her, yes it’s a break away collar that will come off with little to no force should she ever get caught in it, she willingly lets me put it on her and has never tried to take it off or showed irritation. Because she’s a void it helps us to not step on her in the middle of the night when she tries to trip us. It’s purely for her safety. Thank you and have a great day

Timed feeder, saved me

She eats wet food so it has a little ice pack insert you just re-freeze, flap pops open at 6:30am.

Before that it was agonising

Unfortunately I've got three of them and they all eat different things and need to be supervised! There arent currently any microchip activated timed feeders on the market but I have hope that someone will create one

Ahhhh that sucks, yeah we got a second cat not so long ago and I was back to getting up at 7am to feed lol.

Sadly my first cat bullied the second cat to such a degree we had to give second cat to a friend forever 😭 but I get to use the timed feeder again I guess
