MrCat hasn’t read the manual

[Dilbertian]

I don’t think he quite understands how to be a cat. Don’t get me wrong, he is a gorgeous, dribbling, lump of floof, but he’s not like any other cat I’ve had or known:

He goes out in the rain.
You can stroke him anywhere. In fact, he wants you to!
He’s quite happy to have his tail messed with - brushed, gently tugged, bent around and poked in his ear.
He’s quite happy to have his toe beans stroked and his paws played with.
He doesn’t know how to open a door that is already ajar.
He sits on or by my lap while I’m knitting and doesn’t mess with the yarn.

And now he has stepped OFF the heated pad that is on my lap! He was curled up on my lap until the pad was warm, and then he got off. He’s now curled up on the sofa next to me.

What cat gets off a heated pad?
🙀

Are you sure you don't have a dog in a cat costume?

Ha ha ha! I love Mr Cat stories! He is quite magnificent. However I feel you haven't fully complied with the letter of the Litterbox law - photo?

I have one like that.

Mine is similar
he loves belly rubs and you can kiss his belly any time, and he will flop in front of strangers for them
he doesn’t care about being poked and prodded or taking tablets, you just open his mouth and give them
he doesn’t want to go outside
he plays fetch
he doesn’t like heated things
he sleeps under the duvet as little spoon

Cat tax please. My cat doesn’t mind anyone touching him anywhere even while he’s washing as long as can still wash. Also doesn’t mind laying with me whilst we hold hands. Will stand patiently while I put a harness/ outfit on him. Posed for photos during lockdown dressed as a pirate x

your Mr cat sounds lovely but for cying out loud cat tax

Now listen here. You know the Cat Tax Rules. You simply cannot tell us that you have photos of your cat in a pirate costume, and then leave us dangling like this.
😂

Another request for cat tax from OP because in my head MrCat is definitely a ginger cat

Ours almost never sits/lies/curls up asleep, on people, often next-to.…or slightly weirdly on my feet🧐, tho always on my bed at night & any other time of day if i’m there. And even more oddly he will sleep all night, never has tours in the dark??
Currently on a folded blanket by my kitchen chair while i have a cuppa..in pic, i hope.
I firmly believe he had an extremely odd early kittenhood, possibly & horribly i think could have been kept in a cage too much? because he’s always been happy to climb on wire mesh to the full height of our catio wall? Mine must be writing his own multi volume manual 😻.

Sozza. Here he is. Ooooo arrrrrr

Photos currently under review x

@Catpiece Your cat looks suitably both regal and indignant at the same time.😁

I can’t post pictures on the app any more 😭 On the back of this thread I have emailed MNHQ about the terrible litter tray rule-breaking enforced upon me.

For full disclosure, MrCat is pure white and about the size of a small Jack Russell. Far lazier and softer than a JR!

The cat tax photos that others have posted are purrrrrfectly gorgeous.

Here is my belly rub loving lump

I’m lol. He really took it in his stride 🤣

The most flattering picture of my goofball floofball 😍

I feel the same about my cat. Anything the vets tells me....nope. he will love this food.... wont touch it. Will be lethargic... ran round the house.
I can do what I want with him, he does grumble at me occasionally but still get everything done.

Sounds very much like most of my Persians, especially the late Cheddar!

Your dribbling, lump of floof is indeed gorgeous!
