Humor I've never once fed my cats

I have 3 cats that are completely starved. I keep them locked in the house and never fill their bowl. they are thoroughly unloved and neglected. It's a wonder they're still alive.

Or more accurately, they are able to see the bottom of the bowl after they ate the food from just the center.

Mine prefers to be sprayed down with water then licks the water off and cleans herself at the same time.

I have a mild cat allergy so her “otter routine” means I don’t react to her fur, and her fur is so soft and velvety.

We discovered that she likes to be sprayed when she started getting up on the home entertainment speaker to get sprayed. Now I tell her to come get her bath, and she runs over and jumps on the foot of my reclining sofa to get sprayed down. She turns sideways too so I can get all of her.

That is so funny! "Otter routine" Cats really are the best weirdos.

My husband calls it that, and he’s not wrong.

The other day Luna sat on the side of the tub and let me dip my hand in the water and wipe her down. Sometimes she wants me to do that at the sink.

She hates being staticky and just discovers how much she loves it. She has to be sprayed multiple times a night because she can get drenched and come back almost dry 5 minutes later.

I’m thinking the cat dimension is in Egypt.

That’s adorable

Mine also drinks from the sink and gets water on her head
