Do you ever look at your cats…

[CurlewKate]

…and think “it’s so bizarre I have these furry flatmates”?

Yes, frequently.

What I find funny is that Dcat sits there looking into my eyes and meows in a variety of different tones and decibels with great sincerity, and I have no clue what she's trying to tell me.

Even funnier is that I meow back. We talk past each other, obv.

DP works away quite a bit and one of ours misses him terribly. The first night she sits at the top of the stairs waiting for him to come home. Then when he calls me, she runs to the phone and miaows loudly, such that he now asks to speak to her first.

However, I'm away at the moment and when I called him at home, she did nothing

What I find funny is when they do their "house wander" and just stand and look at you for a minute then wander off. There's no reason or rhyme as I haven't gone out and they don't come for any cuddles. I suppose they're just checking on their kingdom and making sure you're still there.

Both are curled up on the bed at the moment to be fair. It's obviously been a hard night of snoozing.

This is a thing. We used to foster and saw it many times. The older ones would bring in prey for the younger ones who couldn't yet go outside and many a time we'd find the kittens playing with something dead while the older ones looked on.

Then when the little ones start to go outside, they first bring back leaves, then earthworms, before moving on to rodents and birds.
