Cats are this way because seeking different prey from meal to meal helps prevent deficiencies. They can't make all amino acids they need, for instance, so must keep varying protein sources.
That logic is better than mine. I'd get board of the same food every day, so my cat probably does too!!

I am soooo lucky I never had this problem. My cats always ate whatever I put down. My last cat loved everything I put in front of her. Any dry food was ok. Canned food, she just didn't care for ground pate. She really liked meaty bits or shreds. With gravy, of course. But any brand, any flavor, she was fine with. Any kitty litter I bought was ok too. She didn't care how "perfumey" it was. It was clean, it was dry, it was hers. She was just so glad to be inside, warm and comfy and loved. One of the best, and one of the smartest cats I ever had.
Bored Panda reached out to Landysh, the artistic soul behind Lingvistov, to learn more about the comics and how her creative journey has shaped these amusing cat-centric creations. She has been drawing cat comics for a while now, so we were curious about how she thinks her drawing style has changed over the years and if there were any significant moments or things that inspired her along the way. "Practice is obviously the key," the artist shared. "My style has changed and is changing—it's an inevitable and rewarding process for any artist. You get to play and experiment, choosing things that you think work the best!"
I don't understand people that don't talk to their animals
Load More Replies...They have to tell us about their day, same as anyone else.
There's no end to the sob stories they can tell you just to get sympathy.
If I want Bouche, I call Audi. If I want Audi, I call Bouche. Don't tell them.
this... this is like the perfect way to call a cat

"I believe I've become better at using color and form, although a lot is still challenging for me. For example, I'd like to be more succinct, and it's still hard for me to convey more subtle emotions. In that case, I like to look at mangas—the Japanese artists are so good at showing all human emotions in one small picture! Besides, I admire some modern illustrators, such as Pascal Campion (his ideas and observations inspire me) and Pernille Ørum (I love her use of color)."
Kitty must pay the toll, hoomin requires snuggle for energy to get up.
Load More Replies...Yep. And as soon as you feed them they take 2 bites, then it's a race to who gets back to your spot in the bed.
My morning greeting is bisket making on my chest from Patches and Edward picking on Gretchen the Dachshund trying to sleep. All for food!
Got our baby a lovely little nest for her to snuggle into, she got in, I took picture, she never got in again! IMGP0001-6...53ca21.jpg
We got Lili and Whiskey a nice, fancy, Floofy cat bed. Well, Whiskey dosnt like to sleep in anything like boxes or beds ((he’s a WEIRD cat. I love him.)) and Lili only ever sleeps in it if her paint tray is missing LOL
Load More Replies...I got a electric pad (usually used for reptiles) and she stays in one spot.
Mine really didn't care for boxes, it very odd. My conjecture is that his previous owner was very neat and never left out boxes, so he never really got them. But my place is quite cold so he actually used his beds a lot... When he started laying on my lap I knew I needed to turn up the heat! (He would snuggle but didn't like the lap.)
My cats loved their beds; when they were not sleeping on my lap, they were in their beds ♡
Whether you're an artist, writer, or anyone navigating the creative terrain, unlocking inspiration can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Thinking about that, we asked Landysh to share any specific rituals or routines she follows to get into the creative mindset. "My therapist told me that I need a ritual to switch to a creative artistic mode. And I realized that smells are a powerful tool! For me, this ritual now is brewing coffee - it helps me start. Another thing I do - I try not to push myself. I have one or two drawings scheduled for a week, not ten or fifteen like I used to - this way I can enjoy the process, avoid burnout, and actually accomplish more! It's important to have a hobby and do something physical. I have been swimming competitively for six years! This helps me not to get sucked into the black hole of self-doubt and overthinking."
I have to do the same thing with my idiot turtle, who won't see food unless I point to it.
It’s coz they can’t see close up but their distance sight is really good.
Among all the comics she's created, we wondered if Landysh has a personal favorite or one that holds special significance. The artist shared that there are a number of comics that are important to her. "They usually involve my mom," like the one about taking care of plants. "There are some comics [like this one and this one] about my older cat Augustus, who is 20 years old. When I see these comics, I remember some funny episodes from my past."
"And these [this and this one] are comics about my little tuxedo cat Hoshiko. We spent the quarantine together and she was with me during some tough times. She was a playful little kitten! I love looking at these comics! Now she's a serious lady."
Did you ever think that your cats were in back of the couch laughing at you if you fell?
Mine will totally ignore me (unless food involved) soon as I get tablet out I have 1 to 4 cats demanding attention RIGHT NOW.
"You took so long on that email to your stupid boss, I fell asleep waiting for you!"
Oh I miss my little baby. God she was like Houdini when the basket came out.
Batly watches me do home improvement projects like he's the home owner and I'm the contractor he regrets hiring.
Anyone outside, really. Eleven loves to spy on the neighbours.
My using the toilet then wants to sit in my lap with my panties below my knees
Yes..asked for it, indeed.." leave me alone till I tell you I want touched!". or you get it ,!!!!
Teaching how to cat entry level. Cat's react better to reversed psychology. Forbid your cat stuff if you want it to do it.
Re the litter tray. Plonk the cat on it, rub their front paws in it like they are digging and away you go. Even a semi feral cat we adopted stopped peeing all over the house and peed in the litter tray when I did that.
That cat is an AH. Playing clueless on purpose. Bet he got a big laugh out of her scratching around in the kitty litter.
Especially at NIGHT. When I SLEEP. A freezing nose, a cold wet paw, a loving wet lick. EEK! And then some mumbling like 'yeah yes I love you too' and trying to get to sleep again, while the purring beside my ear reaches chainsaw levels.
Yeah, but I bet you'd miss that purring sound if it wasn't there.
Load More Replies...for me it's the whisker tickle that makes me think a fly or something landed on my leg, so I go to swat the fly, but instead it's poor kitty's face 😭
My cats love licking my arms and legs. Especially at night, Drives me nuts.
Bites ankles, back of knees, then jumps and claws legs.."I want attention..or maybe food that you'll put down and I won't eat! Ha, and Meow
We adopted our cat from a shelter when she was 1ish yrs old. She had already had 3 kittens; who were already adopted. She finally got into a box a year-ish ago & she has just recently started the "Great" stage! 🧡🐱 Her personality is quite different, which makes her so super fabulous! 😽🧡
Load More Replies...I've never seen a cat eat box before! Only packing peanuts and spreading them all over the house.
I think mostly they don't eat they just bite... (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
Load More Replies...I love the conspiracy that they all share a single brain cell. Explains so much but in a silly way
My theory is that they have two. One for essential things like breathing and eating, the other for pure chaos.
Load More Replies...I discovered that a heavy sweatshirt pulled down over your fingers will get you a few seconds of belly petting time - when the teeth come out it's over
Or he could just use his claws on the window screens to make that annoying "ping...ping" noise.
I was very lucky XD my cats used to sleep as much as, if not more than, me!
A number of years ago, before cell phone cameras, I was always trying to get a pic of my Siamese cat in various poses, with my digital camera. However, he could hear the electronic whirl of the camera every time I turned it on, anywhere in the house. So he spoiled every pic I tried to take.
If it isn't still under the blankets when you attempted to make the bed
Load More Replies...My cats are not this smart. Only the orange one is, and that's what gets him into trouble
My orange and my tortoise cats too smart for their own good. Ugh the messes and indignation.
Load More Replies...cats are the safety investigators. (but they also are checking for potential food, of course, just like any other reasonable animal)
I just adopted a cat that was to be euthanized. My first non foster/ fully my cat since July 2016. Sadly, Tabby cat version 2023 has no significant upgrades and is just as weird as older versions. Still love him tho.
Thank you for giving them a chance! We would go to the pound or shelters here, but ours come off the streets anyways
Load More Replies...I love these cat activities and can't stop laughing. My cat performs all of them. Thanks.
For all cat people--- if you haven't seen them yet, check out 'Simon's Cat' on You Tube. There's a whole series of his cartoons. They're hysterical. The sound effects are funny too.
I haven't actually seen that on Youtube but I've got 4 books of Simon's Cat. I agree, they're great.
