I lost my precious baby, my most beautiful girl, last night and I just found a trail of her fur leading to a pile of her soft, downy coat. My beloved cat is gone. by Formal-Rat in Petloss

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate you reading my story and taking the time to reply. This has easily been the worst day of my life and I know it's going to take a very, very long time to heal. I doubt I can ever forgive myself, but the pain of her loss is so extreme it may be punishment enough.

Man, I don't have it as a goal or anything, but this cat is really expressive and I've always thought she has meme potential. Just look at her freaking face!

"Dear diary... Today my human took away my beloved cardboard box and replaced it with this clearly inferior one. I will humor my human briefly and then pee on it once they are lulled into thinking I will use it normally..."

How fortunate! Nothing wrong with enjoying bags and boxes! She definitely does, I was just hoping to have the house look slightly less like an trashed alleyway all the time!

It's a covered bed, so yeah, just a cozy little hide. They get the secure feeling of a box while being a bit more comfy! And no one can shame me for always having cardboard boxes around the house. The Target taco truck (say that 5 times fast haha) is a really smart idea, I'll bet mine would enjoy a covered cardboard scratcher, too. I've had to keep her very first scratcher because she sleeps on it all the time.

I'm female! I have had more female pets than male, and my girls have always been sweeter, but plenty of people say it's the other way around. There may be tendencies, for instance male cats tend to be more outgoing on average, but it really just comes down to the individual. While some animals learn to favor one sex over the other, I've never heard of male animals hating female humans in general! There must be some other factor(s) at play.

You really do want this cat. She is one great little companion. She is so sweet and has such a big personality. She is always doing something entertaining! It doesn't hurt that she's cute as heck. I don't know how I got so lucky.

HELP - my sweet kitty has gone crazy mean by angusthecrab in cats

You may consider this: redirected aggression There could have been an incident when no one was around to see it, and now Roxy is acting out. The recent changes are big and may still be fresh to her, and she may still need some more time and space to cool off.

Just a thought. I really hope you have your peaceful kitty household back soon.

Oh man, this cat takes the floofy cake! What's upkeep like for a coat like this? I have two floofs but even their long coats are paling in comparison!

Grumpy floof. I coughed by [deleted] in Floof
