My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven’t been financially stable enough to adopt another.

Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!

    As @bleistift2@feddit.de commented:

    Remember, kids, that pet’s names are often used for passwords. Don’t share sensitive information.

    That said, I have no reason to believe that OP is trying to crack accounts. They seem to be a normal Lemmy user.

      That’s on them then. Password managers are free and have been around for a while, no excuses using personal information in a password anymore.

        It takes trust to give all your password to a piece of software. With all the leaks on the news can you blame them? For people with multiple devices an offline password manager is unwieldy. And self-hosting an online password manager is beyond the capabilities of most.

          Oh for sure, I see your point. I would still trust managers over using (most likely) same insecure personal info passwords for every web account.

    This is Brewster, who is so demanding about being loved, and yet so particular about it. He won’t come on my lap while on the couch, or in my office chair or in the reading chair, or anywhere else.

    He’ll stomp around and yell, or roll around on the floor acting cute, or start clawing whatever furniture I’m on that’s not the bed until I get into bed, and I have to be under the covers, with this particular blanket, and then he’ll let me pet him. He’s such a doofus and I love him.

    My cat’s name is Olive. My wife and I adopted her the Christmas after we moved In together and got married 9 years ago. I woke up a little early this morning with insomnia to her walking around our bodies and cuddling between us. Most nights she will sleep on my wife’s pillow nestled around her.head. Before bed she will sit beside my wife and wait for her to roll over a specific way and spoon with her.

    Olive gets along great with our dog Ruby. We have a back yard and will let her roam for a bit while she uses the bathroom. Ruby then comes to the door and waits to be let in. Olive will meow at the door when Ruby is back. Even more, Olive has moved from the window and trotted to the door when she saw Ruby coming back to the porch.

    Ruby needs to hype herself up to eat. She will play with Olive to, we assume, engage her prey drive. Olive has a lot of trust for Ruby and lets her nibble on her and slow blinks as she does. I think Olive is aware on some level that Ruby does this before she eats.

    Sometimes in the morning when she is in our lap on the couch she’ll “talk” to us. If we make specific noises like clearing our throat or coughing or meowing she will make little noises back. This can go on for a bit until she’s done.

    This is Rocky. I grew up my entire life having cats and had a total of 9 before my wife and I got Rocky. I say that because having known so many different cats over the years, Rocky is hands down the sweetest, snuggliest, and friendliest with strangers cat I’ve ever had.

    If he’s not curled up on one of our laps, he at least has to always be in the same room as us. If we are in different rooms in the house, it’s as though he gets conflicted and will lay in the middle of the hallway to split the difference.

    He loves to be carried around as he lays straddled across your shoulders.

    He used to always meet us at the door when we came home, and we would have conversations with him where we would ask him things like how his day was and what he got up to, and he would loudly meow between each question. But now he’s mostly deaf, so he is usually asleep in one of his many cardboard boxes around the house when we get home.

    He’s a terrible hunter, but he usually does a pretty good job of at least finding a bug on the floor. He’ll sit there and stare intently at it (until he loses interest and walks away), which is our cue that there’s something there.

    He’s a special little dude, and we love him to pieces.

      I love gray and white cats. Had one myself many years ago. And there was another one in our neighborhood for a long time. Both of them were super sweet.

    Murphy is 20 years old and is deaf now, but still jumps up onto my lap and occasionally chases after strings. They told us he was found in a storm drain. He has been with us through 4 moves, the last time being just a week ago where he survived a 17-hour drive in a cramped car and pooping in a moving vehicle. He is a survivor and a sweetheart.

    He loves rump smacks (cat bongos) and this rug. He especially loves rump smacks while on this rug.

    Sir Kitty would sometimes appear “lost in thought” while lying on his back. The first time I saw him like this, I was seriously worried he was no longer alive because he wasn’t moving and wouldn’t respond to me calling to him.

    May I introduce Cleo and Sebastion! Sebastion is very talkative and shows lots of love, but from a distance. Cleo is a sweetie and will come and lay on my chest at night, and also find anything to make noise with in the morning, so I’ll wake up and feed them. They generally love each other and never fight, but sebastion can go into what I call Crack head mode, and anything goes then.

    When you sneeze Calcifer will sprint into the room and meow at you to bless you. If you ignore him he will keep meowing until thanks or pets are provided.

    He also knows when my wife is in pain or having anxiety and will sit on her lap to keep her calm (maybe projecting this, but it’s very helpful and cute)

      Your pic isn’t loading for me, which makes me sad. But Calcifer reminds me of our boy who we joked could smell his mommy’s tears. When my husband and I raised voices at each other, Sir Kitty ('03-'20) would come and yell at us, get on my lap, and get up in my face until we stopped to pet him, which seemed to be the only thing that would calm him.

    This is Simón. He is my best cat. I got him ten years ago. He is the friendliest, snuggliest cat I’ve ever met. He is very vocal so we “talk” a lot every day.cat

    She stepped on an empty food bowl this morning and spooked herself so bad she didn’t eat breakfast for 20 minutes.

    That’s a kind of special right?

    This is my cat Cygnus. I named him after Cygnus x-1 which is thought to be a black hole. He’s a very very smart cat. He does tricks eg. shake, opens doors etc.

    This is Cygnus. He is a superior lifeform.

        He stands on his back two legs, takes both paws and grabs the door knob and tries to turn it. If the door isnt closed that well, i.e somewhat ajar, he can actually open it. The last black cat I had that I inherited from my uncle did the same thing. He’ll also “knock” if he can’t get through a door. And by “knock” I mean he’ll find the nearest loose bit of wood or paneling or something that he can grab hold of, pull it a little then let go so it snaps back and makes a fairly loud noise.

    I have three, but one is particularly “special.”

    I found him in a parking garage. He screams when he gets excited, it’s hilarious. There’s always a new noise from him. He comes into a room then you can see that he forgot why he came in, but at the same time he can open complex handles on windows that have push buttons. We affectionately call him an idiot savant, but he’s so sweet.

    Oh yes. He also loves belly rubs.
