LOL, no. I wish. He's a sneezy cat.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So is she, and very much so.

I'd never heard a cat snore before meeting her, yet here she is wheezing the night away next to me.

We have a snorer too! Sometimes it's þe only way we can find him.

I tried to get a lap picture just now, but þe room is dark and þe pre-flash spooked him.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I know what you mean about finding them by their snores. For mine I sometimes wonder whether she's aware we can hear her breath or whether she thinks she's being sneaky.

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does yours "hide" under furniture but leave her tail out? Ours' do. Sooo sneaky.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

TBH, the best "hiding" my cats do these days is sitting around a corner.

... And no vomit? No hairball?

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, not on us. Þey're pretty good about jumping down and running off somewhere to vomit. Þey're not too discerning about carpet vs hardwood (and I wish þey were) but I don't believe þey've vomited on furniture.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, you're either lucky, have fairly conscientious kitties, or maybe, maybe you're doing a good job of raising Þem =P

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hah! As if anyþing we do could have any influence.

Your's vomit on you?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Had it happen once.

He came up to me, like, snuggled up, vomited on me, in bed.

How I interpreted that:

I am his safe space.

He is scared.

I am the safe place to vomit.

... and this did basically work.

Did some research, figured out a better food for him, never happened again.

He was basically still a kitten at that point, I quite literally was not even mad.

Aww. Kittens can get away wiþ murder
