Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn’t lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that’s what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.
Here’s our Poly:
Our cat likes to wait for us to get out of the shower, then she tries to catch the drops running down the inside of the glass door.
Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot
Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains
My list of endorphin-boosting games:
Dorfromantik
Unpacking
A Little To The Left
Tiny Glade - though this one barely qualifies as a game
If you want something a little more gamified: Balatro is amazing and addictive.
When my daughter was a toddler she would sometimes sneak up and press the power button on my PC when I was in the middle of a gaming session, then giggle mischievously. I outsmarted her by taping a piece of cardboard over the button.
That is awesome. Glad to see it, and thanks for sharing! 😻
Get some boinks. They’re straw-like tubes made from a mesh material that can be compressed to shoot them across a room (I think it’s a heat-shrink material originally made for bundling cables together). They’re super cheap and our cat that loves all things stick-like (straws, pencils, pens, etc) goes bananas chasing them around.
Your rebuttal is worse. We shouldn’t let cats wander outside for the same reasons we shouldn’t let zoo animals wander outside the zoo. They are not wild animals and they are not native to the environments we keep them in. It is bad for them and it is bad for the rest of the ecology. If someone thinks cats should be treated like wild animals they have no business keeping a cat in their home at all.
Long long caaaaaaaaaaaaat.
No, it isn’t. Domestic cats do not belong outside. The exposure to numerous hazards literally cuts their average life expectancy by half.
We have one of those. Gray cats are really difficult to photo well. Cameras always seem to mis-set the exposure.
I mean, it is reposting other peoples’ old content, and there seems to be a lot of that going on here lately. People just like the attention, I guess.
