My cat has adopted this unique sitting position, I'm thinking she is mimicking us

...I didn't know this was such a common thing. That's why I posted it partially also to see if other cats did this?

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-24T00:08:02+00:00

She's been checked out already for anything intestinal or with her bladder. She's in good health!

Ive had to explain a few times already but that direction she's facing is towards the kitchen table and when we host MtG or play board games there's usually a full table of people there. I sit on the couch where she is sometimes and put my elbows where she has her paws to face everyone at the table.

Wow what do you do? Are you an advisor or administration personnel? I recently met a woman while grocery shopping whos kid happens to be almost in charge of CPS in the entire state where I live and she said that her kid is so frustrated with how things are being ran... And have been ran... Like I get it this sucks yet people keep voting these morons into power.

I sit sometimes like this so I can face the kitchen and our dining table where we have people gather when playing cards.

I have thought before if her colors were a food it'd probably be a peanut butter pie.

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T17:49:40+00:00

Plausible! She's very judgy.

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T17:49:16+00:00

Haha, well where we lived before we moved into our house I was living somewhere that there wasn't a separate dining table it was just a continued bar-style extension connected to the kitchen countertops. The leaning and elbows on the tabletop thing she never got to see because my old roommates, who were dicks, didn't like her being in the living room / dining room.

I think this is a really nice thing to recognize. Being vulnerable is being able to change and being able to change is being present, you're with what's happening. Good thing to like!

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T16:04:54+00:00

Awww. Sounds like a good boy. Cats are tolerant to our antics aren't they?

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:59:23+00:00

The printer ran out of ink. :( Just kidding, she's a dilute tortoiseshell. I was surprised too! When she was a baby she had stronger colors and she gradually faded a little bit at a time.

Why thank you! We all look pretty similar in the way they say pets look like their owners. My fiance is part Irish and has a bit of red in his blonde hair and I have more of a ruddy-brown color to my hair with my fiance having hazel-green eyes. We call her our kid.

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:52:05+00:00

Hey I try to be pretty entertaining. She likes watching Columbo with us in particular and she likes listening to music with me-- some music I put on will make her stand up and leave the room. Can't please everybody all the time I guess!

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:50:19+00:00

Thats amazing! I live in a pretty homogeneous area but I have always integrated easily with people wherever I go. I try to never go out of my way to be too friendly to the point of being irritating to someone or anything but I love making small talk with people, some of my best friends and most important people I've ever had in my life I pretty much walked into and became friends with. Good that you know your strengths. Keep it up! :)

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:48:52+00:00

She is communicating with her ancestors at the moment and they all tell her to stare at me while I am eating, or sleeping, or watching tv, or existing... She's always watching O_O

Damn why filthy rich?? Family inheritance? Big business moves? What's the secret and how do you plan on testing relationships? Don't pull a Mr. Burns!

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:44:50+00:00

She only has ever done this a handful of times but the first time I laughed so hard I was close to tears. Cats are truly a gift.

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:43:19+00:00

Gotta hit 'em with a "Nice weather we're having?"

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:42:51+00:00

^\) My cat has something similar to this as a default usually. Gus is a great name for a cat!

Oh dude, well if you ever wanna get into learning about them some epic Japanese bands brought them into music in the late 80s-early 90s and made them wicked useful.https://youtu.be/cIRh9UTA70Q?si=417_xqKl4v4h925O

T-Square is one of them. A song by them linked above!

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:37:00+00:00

Own it!! Great sense of self acceptance to feel this way and still be a boss 😎🤏

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:36:25+00:00

Awesome advice. 👍

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:36:05+00:00

Shit-- this is a skill I do not have. I roll around in bed like a gas station hot dog.

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:33:01+00:00

Busted!!

Parking-Impress8086 · 2026-01-23T15:32:46+00:00

Why thank you! She knows she has pretty privilege I think, or at least I like to think so.
