    There’s always one in every litter. The friendly greeter. Not a bit afraid of humans. Will calmly approach and be incredibly cute and sweet. Like they chose you, and only you, especially. Of course it totally melts you and you adopt them on the spot—-if you have even one heart cell still alive, that is.

    Kittens are like infants. They can go to sleep ANYWHERE in an instant, and sleep the sleep so deeply it’s like the sleep of the dead. I wish I slept like that.

    This is what I WANTED when I adopted my second cat. Instead, little brother bops big sister in the literal bútthole 50 times a day with his paw. Big sister responds with goblin noises and runs off. Little brother gives chase, resulting in more goblin noises from big sister. Rinse and repeat XD

    No! Don’t let them get accustomed to sitting in plastic bags. Just like your mom didn’t let you play with the plastic dry cleaner suit covers, you shouldn’t let your cat(s) play with something that carries the risk of suffocation. No kidding.

    I’ve had cats who would lie like this under my bed, and walk—-or run—-in circles on the bottom of my box springs. Wouldn’t have been an issue, only it’s kind of noisy and also shakes the bed when they really get going fast—- and they all did it in the middle of the night while I was trying to sleep.
