October 30, 20241 yr Administrators My sister's Siamese cat loved to lay on top of a small portable tv in the lining room when it was on. Cat's love heat! One time she woke up, got up and did a big stretch and then barfed down the back of the tv vent holes. Had to go out and buy a new tv after that episode! 🤮 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
October 30, 20241 yr Author When my cat was a kitten he vomited a mixture of cat food and string, yes string, into our toaster. He was on top of the kitchen cabinet at the time. Yes... new toaster required.
October 30, 20241 yr Mine loves to seat in front of my wife's monitor and will bite if she tries to get him out of the way... specially after having desperately tried to catch my attention at my desktop 🤣🤣🤣. If he fails to make me go playing with him and suspects I'm up for flight simulation he'll then come to my office and seat on the rudder ...

Then, after I've got ready for the day, he jumps on the coffee table ready to watch the Cat TV channel on YouTube. What fascinates me is how he keeps looking back at me, waiting for me to set it up from the remote. So he knows full well that its me making the images appear on the TV. Animals are far smarter and far more aware then many people realize.

Be careful what you say and do around your two-year-old, as they understand, and potentially remember, waaaay more than you think. I'm convinced our cats understand our language at around the level of a two-year-old child. I had one cat that could count to three, but not four... I wish I'd thought to try two groups of two. She could also mimic a few words, and used them correctly in context. Cats generally ignore anything we say so we don't realize how much they're plotting. Cats live in a slightly altered reality from us, and have somewhat different motivations. This is why they don't react the same way we do. This doesn't mean you'll never run across an individual much smarter than you are. I've seen pictures. It's scary. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

Perhaps it's a good thing that animals can't talk fluently, imagine how annoying it would be if your cat could natter on and on at you all day, every day! 😚😼 Fr.

Trust me... they are very vocal and certainly natter a lot. Meanwhile, on the subject of smart animals, check out rats driving cars. More evidence that intelligence isn't just about brain size.
November 6, 20241 yr I must be a bad cat mom. I've never introduced them to cat tv. They bird watch through the screen door.

Allowing them to bird watch through the door has the advantage of protecting your TV screen from feline engraving.
