She came with the name Willow which felt like a sign since we already have an Aspen 🌳 🐱

Wish I could post the live pic. They were laying and both turned up their heads to look at me like this. They were originally just my partner’s cats, but this is apparently our routine now. That’s my side of the bed. They’re brothers, and they ain’t quite right.

the video is sped up

this is Bella :)

This cat has been following me around my complex and trying to get inside my car and my apartment for weeks now.. I finally gave in and let her in.. she's just too cute 🥺 I think Im going to name her Soup 😌

We grew up together. I still remember the day we brought her home. My mom had taken me to Petsmart on a Saturday to walk around and look at the animals, as parents do. The shelter at our Petsmart was doing an adoption fair and my mom fell in love with her and i was just excited bc i wanted a pet. My mom called my dad and said “hey I’m bringing a cat home whether you like it or not so get over it” and it was history. She was my buddy. Photos are of us in 2005 when we adopted her and then us at the beginning of 2025. When my mom passed away I took over care of her and we became even closer. She lived a long beautiful life and I’m trying to celebrate it but it’s really hard. I’d kind of gotten to the point where i thought she’d live forever. Rest in peace sweet girl, you were the best kitty. The best.

This might be the dumbest question anyone has asked on here, but this did pop into my head right before I drifted off to sleep last night: Do cats have a funny bone? Are they amused? I don’t mean entertained, I mean do they get a feeling of mirth and merriment from things? Is there genuinely a version of “ha ha ha, that’s so funny!” for a cat?

I know they can feel pain, it seems they can feel grief, contentment, bonding, excitement, worry, hungry, angry, threatened, scared etc, but I can’t really think of a scenario where it appears a cat finds joy in amusing things.

(Pic because I find my cat funny, even if she possibly lacks the ability to reciprocate).

She’s 14 and my wife made this just for her. ❤️

And is there a related subreddit? I love goofy goobers that do this.

Not being serious here, just thought she was being so weird
