What compliments do you pay your cat?

[Catassistant]

Light hearted of course but I'm having a really rough time health wise, made 1000x better by my lovely cat who is snoozing with me currently.

I can't help showering him with compliments as he is so adorable and I wondered whether other people are the same and what they say!

Today I couldn't help but tell him that he is authoritative but squidgy and has the silkiest fur.

Happy to hear re other creatures too!

A selfie from mine.
The most handsome cat in the world, with the most beautiful fur
(I tell him daily, he doesn't care)

She’s the most beautiful black and white thing I’ve ever seen. That she is tiny (she’s not) and she’s my baby (she’s 7 and a half). She’ll always be my baby even though she will surpass me in cat years next year.

I sing at them, changing the words of proper songs, eg "Her name was Vixen, Stixen, she is the cutest, she is a beauty, Vixen the cat" to the tune of Flipper (I did not know what the real song was until I just googled it).

Also they get told they have the cutest toe beans, murder mittens, pokey out tongue, they're the goodest boy/girl, the most handsome etc. I do often have to be more specific though if one of the other cats is nearby as they'll feel left out, so I have the bestest black grown up boy cat, the bestest teeny boy black cat etc.

And just so everyone can appreciate Vixen being the best derpy cat...

Re: lovely smelling cats. Me and DD love to sniff our Mr Darcy. Just around the neck area is our favourite place. It usually goes like this:

DD: Ooh does he smell catty tonight?
Me: I don't know - does he?
DD: <big sniff> Ooh, yes. Yes he does - smell!
Me: Oh he does. He smells catty. Oh it's lovely. Mmm. You sniff catty, you do Mr Darcy.
DD: Give me another sniff!

Poor sod just sits there probably thinking "Here we bloody go. Stupid hoomans"

That he has the biggest paws in London

I LOVE all of these!! Just reading through and they're making me so happy

I used to tell one of ours that she was the best serial killer in the entire universe. she was extremely petite and fragile all her life, but was nonetheless a prolific killer of all things rodent and was feisty in nature.

Her sister was beautiful, if a tad rotund, and had a lovely nature. She was wasn’t very bright. So was lovingly referred to as Tim Nice but Dim.

Are you me? 🤣

I have a very plain, unremarkable cat. Small. Black. Few bits of white.

I tell him daily how fancy he is and upon entering a room will exclaim "oh my goodness, there's a panther in here! Help! A panther! Oh my god....oh! Oh it's just you, my darling! Ooh aren't you fancy? A real life panther, in my house. I'm so lucky."

Mine get sis l of me telling them that they are my; gorgeous baby princesses.

I love this!

I tell him he’s the most handsomest, hunkiest chunk of burning love, he’s my big baby boy with the purriest fur, he’s got GIGANTIC paws and the floofiest tum.

I call him my baby and my big tiger and sing him his special song.

I also call him a knobhead and tell him not to jump out of upstairs windows.

Yes! My two are assholes and rat-bastards and idiots and weirdos. They seem to have a pact to trash the joiunt at the slightest opportunity, and to fight whenever possible.

One is extremely handsome and laid back but he's as dumb as a sack of hammers.

The other is extremely bright but neurotic and obese and can open cupboards and packages of all sorts of things. Who knew a cat would eat Shreddies? Or blueberry muffins?

When a rare day goes by when they haven't done something awful, I do tell them what handsome, fluffy beasts they are, and how cute one is with his snaggletooth as he sleeps, and the other sleeping with his paw over his eyes like he's ashamed of what he's done.

I simply cannot help regularly telling them they are are fluffy beauties, such pretty little girls, sweet kitties etc. So glad no one records me as I would be mortified at my own drivel. This is Nutty, she's a 7 year old Maine Coon. She's a whopper, nearly 10kg. I can't help but inform her that she's a magnificent beast. She likes to sit amongst the recycling.

That he's pretty and a good boy, but usually it's silly little made up songs about how much I love him.

Isn't it funny how cat threads bring out the best in us.
This nest of vipers which I do love mostly can at times turn nasty. But the minute cats are mentioned, we turn to jelly.
I flippin love cats. Even the moronic versions

Evie is my beautiful girl and Liam has the softest fur ever ❤️ However he is also a fat sod when he eats her food, and she is a menace when she scratches the carpet 😊 Beautiful rescued kittens both of them

Thank you for not shitting in the dining room overnight

Little lion, gorgeous, sweetheart, gorgeous boy, cutiesheewoosee, handsome.

I have a very daft song I sing about mine, sing to a made up tune, about the lovely colours of her fur

Talking bout my cat
She's three different colours
She's not like the others
She's molly

She is chocolate and caramel and cream
She is chocolate and caramel and creeeaaam

Cat 1 is my perfect orange prince, and my best boy.

Cat 2 is my sweetie smalls, and a very clever girl.

She looks enraptured by your song!

Ooh aren't you clean today! (very rare for one of mine)
You're such a pretty lady
Your nose is so clean, well done cutie
What sharp claws you have
What a good job, you're such a good hunter, thank you for the present (even though I definitely didn't want it 😆)

aaah love cats.

We like to think of what our cats signature drinks would be.

Our previous cat sadly deceased would have been a martini girl. She was very sleek and sophisticated and hard as nails.

Current tabby cat is a bit of a fluff head. She'd be a Babycham girl.

Current Tortie rescue is aged 19 and has raggedy ears and is missing a few teeth. She was rehomed then returned twice to the rescue centre as she has attitude. She also has a raspy meow. We think of her as a raddled ageing pub landlady who smokes and drinks whiskey.

Those are some pretty impressive whiskers 😃

I tell all of my foster cats how beautiful they are and how much I love them. I also never leave the house without saying "I love you" Well, they need to know in case anything happens to me 🤣
