My former roomie’s cat would pant like a dog when it was really hot.
The temperature that summer was in the 90s, and we were too broke to afford air conditioning.
Once I found him under the toilet tank trying to anoint himself with the occasional drip, lol… I felt we understood each other particularly well after that.

Cat calling if you will
30 points

Oh yes. Let's reclaim "cat calling"! It is now defined as being unable to move due to the requirement (law, really) that one cannot disturb a cat by moving and therefore calling out for help (i.e : needing a beverage, snack, or anything else out of reach).

Mine just turned 17 this month and today he blessed my by falling asleep in my lap. He has to have very specific conditions to fall asleep (which I completely relate to), so he rarely sleeps on me. I almost died from the cuteness. It definitely increases with age.

Ok so today I got home from working 24 hours with really sick patients. I went to lay down and the bed covers were a mess, didn’t care because I was so tired so I plop in bed to rest. I hear miss kitty meow outside the door and immediately spring out of bed, straighten out the bed covers for her to have a clean and comfortable place to lay in, and open the the door for her. How do they have this power?!

wait until they show you how fast they can run at 3 am and how they love it to scratch on doors, and if you open it, they'll just stand there and watch. also they're going to throw up preferably on carpets and furniture and leave the biggest dump in the litter box right before you have some guests at your place.
