cats

frictionless sphere, the perfect pet

Aa long as nobody starts vacuuming around him. Like nature, cats abhor a vacuum (even if they ARE perfectly spherical)

My cat will ignore wet food and meat if there are carrots around. Carrots are obviously not as unhealthy as donuts (to humans at least, I gotta assume that’s true for cats too), but they’re still not something I would expect cats to go for.

We don't feed our cats donuts, but I have no doubt in my mind they would recognize it as food and go for it, if they really wanted to. (With our current cats, we've never had an issue, but we had one before that would go after any food you left out. And he was super thin, just very food-driven.)

But yeah they're feeding that cat junk food.

Ive known multiple cats that would eat waffles. One of them even stole one off the kitchen counter

Yeah I just couldn't get it to load quite right. Glad you found it anyway!

All of his vids are like that. A really common one is people that don't realize you have to show the cat what a scratching post is and that that's ok to scratch vs the couch. Just because animals don't talk doesn't exclude them from the communicative requirements of any other relationship. I've also communicated to my cat that she may receive single finger strokes to the cheeks in exchange for a nice wet nose to nose snoot boop. It's all about communication folks.

As a side note I use it as a metaphor to explain the importance of creative expression to my psych patients. Dogs gotta chew, cats gotta scratch, humans have to express creativity. If any of us aren't given healthy outlets to meet those natural drives we start doing them in the wrong places in ways that harm ourselves and others.
