That's a full-on Burt Meownolds 'stache

How did I miss this?

Anyway, help. My cat is spilling

Too much boy for that hammock!

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes he feels like too much boy in general.

If he doesnt want to do something, he AINT doing something. He can be a hassle to wrangle, thankfully now he doesnt mind vet visits and trips.

[–] Sasnak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No such thing. Perfect amount of boy. Does he scratch and bite about it or just go into the death rolls?

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hes so sweet that he only passively resists. Hes probably the most dangerous when playing. He doesnt realize that we're made of soft squishy flesh.

I'm pretty scared to play "hands on" so i only use toys on sticks/strings or laser pointers. Also throwing toys, but he usually isnt amused

Bitty is a wiggler. Zombii is a fighter

We play hands on even tho you aren't supposed to 😅 We don't do laser pointers bc I heard they're not great for them. Bitty likes most kinds of play. Teasers, chasing something we throw, throwing things from her tower and screaming until we retrieve them and toss them back in her house at the top

Sometimes my sister and pinto like to chase eachother 😆. I'll see my sister chase pinto into her room, and pinto chase her out hahaha.

Its also so funny you describe bitty as a wiggler. I need to use that word more.

Pinto plays fetch, kind of. Sometimes if you throw something, he'll pounce on it and murder it but other times he'll watch you throw it, and look at you like you're an idiot

How does zombii fight?

[–] Sasnak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds adorable! I love that for them. Zombii used to chase me and my family down the hall when she was young, but it was terrifying bc of she caught you, she'd latch on

She's like a weasel! Long and sleek and just squirms

Sometimes, Bitty will go get it and bring it back to be tossed again, but usually, she just plays with it a bit or throws it out of the tower

Zombii is a monster when she wants to be. She bites and claws and slams against you like it's a death match. I've got a scar on my arm where she got me during the house fire

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

House fire? is everything okay?

Also pinto rarely squirms, he relies on brute strength to crush all resistance. I might have a couple scars where he latched on and kicked me with his hind legs.

[–] Sasnak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was back in July. We made it out with our pets and our board game collection, so we'll make it

Zombii acts like she's trying to rip a chunk of flesh out

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What caused it?

Also is that why you named her zombii? Haha

[–] Sasnak@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was an electrical fire that started in the attic out of nowhere

Actually, I got her during zombie awareness month when I was in high school, so she got stuck with that

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A fire almost started in my garage a month ago. I was using this outlet splitter that had a bending hinge, and I think the wires wore out or something there because it started burning but fortunately the breaker popped. If it kept slowly burning before the breaker could activate, then this and 3 other homes would have burned down.

Crazy how we trust, all of the hundreds of things we plug into the wall, not to burn our house down.

We'd never even gone up there. It was wild and extremely terrifying. Every little sound makes me think it's gonna happen again
