I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything in life with a cat like Rufus ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] emolr 10 points 1 year ago

You're absolutely correct, I don't get anything done. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If anything, sometimes I risk running late for work because I get so distracted with him begging for hugs.

I have a cat like Rufus, and accomplishing things is hard. Pretty much have to keep her out of my office. She also likes to headbut my chin to rub against my stubble.

Twinsies! I love standard issue cats so much, it's like having clones.

My pal Bran is a dog kitty too! He'd take belly scratches all day long!

I don't think cats are supposed to bend that way.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

oh, those babies have vertebrae to spare

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All ways are the correct way for a cat to bend! They are non-Euclidian by nature.

He's part gymnast as well ๐Ÿ˜‚

My dog like going back and forth between our legs. Maybe they got each others software accidentally.

An image reply? What is this madness :0

I hope you gave him all the belly rubs! So soft.

[โ€“] emolr 3 points 1 year ago

If he had it his way, I wouldn't ever stop giving him belly rubs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My old cat Mr Kits used to do that and every time he'd ensnare me with bites and scratches when the belly rubs became too much.
I was always wiling to oblige with the belly rubs however.

Look after Rufus for us all and always rub that tummy when they want it.

[โ€“] emolr 3 points 1 year ago

Rufus is so hungry for affection and love that he actually gets more upset when I stop the belly rubs.

This is how my cat asks if I want new holes in my arm.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My Mum's cat at home is kind of like this. She doesn't do it often, but she will sometimes roll over to let you lightly rub her belly

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

So cute. Just want to dive into that fur belly.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What kind of cat is Rufus?

[โ€“] emolr 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's just a cat. Cats who have no certificate or documentation of pedigree don't have breeds because cats reproduce so fast.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, with the ears and longer hair and dog software, I was wondering if he were part Maine coon or maybe Norwegian Forest cat.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is a full-breed floof.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the technical term would be a tabby domestic longhair.

That's fancy cat words for "tiger-colored floof of indeterminate ancestry".

[โ€“] JavaTea 2 points 1 year ago

No pics but my 2 cats (both 13) love to get belly scratches from me! But I've been their Cat Mom since they were 13wks old, with at most another adult living with me, so I've earned their trust!
