Is bitty having some existential dread?
He gets some too from time to time. I dont blame him. Hes got the time to ponder.
I don't think she would even know how to begin contemplating anything, much less her own existence
Perhaps you dont give bitty enough credit
Maybe, but also, she's a special kitty. She doesn't seem very good at a lot of normal kitty things and does most things in very unique ways
Pinto is smart? But not very curious. If what ever you are showing him doesnt look like, or smell like food, he loses interest very fast.
However if it's smelly, that usually gets his attention lol. Loves goat cheese. And feet. Thats why his nickname is "stinky"
He knows a lot of words though. And was good at pest control in his hay day, despite his lack of camouflage and large size.
Overall id say hes decently smart.
Bitty is very curious and interested in things! She just doesn't seem to learn and doesn't seem to understand things that are obvious to other cats. She understands tons of words and is great at communicating with us! She's just different. I don't know if she's ever successfully killed anything. The cat at my mom's (Stein, who used to be mine) used to wound tiny snakes and lizards and bring them to her to try and teach her, but she only played with them and then let them go. She loved her big Buppy
I love bitty. She is so endearing. How old was she in that photo?
She's only a couple months old there. She's always been a little sweetie
We adopted pinto when he was around a year old. There is still a huge 8 year difference from then and today.
He's matured! The vet said Bitty was 4 weeks when we found her. That was 4 years ago
Awww🥺. Bitty looked like such a sad little lump. I'm glad she's doing great now.
She's living her best life now
