    Pinto pretends to be interested in what me or my sister is cooking, but its usually a plot to get our attention.

    He does like to give each ingrediant a good sniff before promptly forgetting about it

      You should give him the attention! Bitty and Bear like to help me cook. They watch the whole time and hang out with me in the kitchen. I was making hamburger helper and Bitty usually gets a tiny bite of raw ground turkey when I cook that, so I couldn’t believe she wasn’t sitting in there!

        I let him sniff the ingredients, and I talk to him, but I dont like touching him when cooking though. Either to prevent hairs in the food, or putting a smell on him that he doesn’t like (onion for example).

        I give him lots of attention afterwards.

        What’s funny is that he doesn’t always like pets. Sometimes he just wants attention to be looked at and talked to lol. He doesn’t think we’re weird cats, he thinks hes a weird human haha

          He just wants to feel included. Narrate your own cooking show to him!

          Bitty definitely thinks she’s a weird human. She even uses her terrible little hands for things like eating and picking up things she’s looking at so she can see them better. She also likes to talk and will have whole conversations with us or scream for attention

            “terrible little hands” hahaha

            Pinto mostly slaps things with his “hands”. My sister catsitted one with thumbs, but they weren’t very useful. He was also a lot like garfield. Orange cat, always hungry and would scarf up food so fast he’d immediately vomit, so he had to be fed a spoonful at a time.

            Pinto is the loudest when someone is in the bathroom and not allowed in

              One of her favorite things to do is pick something like a pen or pencil up just bc she can and throw it. I swear she uses them like no cat I’ve ever seen.

              I can’t imagine that, tbh. We have food available to our girls at all times and they just eat a bit here and there throughout the day. Zombii pukes sometimes, but not from over eating or eating too fast, I don’t think

              Bitty is loudest when she realizes her daddy is standing up and not paying attention to her

                Yeah, we usually give pinto some dry food to nibble on. Hes a bit of a chef, we once saw him moving the dry food on top of his wet food for the crunch. Afterwards we put a couple treats on his wet food.

                Pinto doesn’t comit or cough up a throwball very frequently. We were a bit worried at first, since hes a very furry cat, but hes perfectly.

                Does zombii cry for attention?

                  A gourmet!

                  We have to brush Zombii on occasion or she gets hairballs

                  Yes! She screams and croaks and sometimes just wanted to have a conversation

                    Where does bitty and zombii usually nap? Pinto naps on the window and in my sisters bed. When I visit he will very rarely nap with me.

                    Also that just made me realize pinto doesn’t get hairballs since we brush him well. Is it just that people told me hairballs should be common
