    My big dumb orange boy loves to sit right in front of the subwoofer. I guess he’s a metalhead at heart.

    My eldest dislikes it, but she rarely ever likes anything not made of tuna. Doesn’t even like catnip. My youngest doesn’t mind music. The other day I spent the better part of the afternoon doing meal prep while listening to Idles, Ghost, Coltrane, and other artists on a speaker, and she went to his favourite spot to hang out, coming occasionally for scritches. Could’ve run upstairs or hid under furniture but didn’t.

    Mine mostly don’t really care unless there’s some kind of motion going on.

    Unless you play the Eufloria soundtrack. Then the oldest one suddenly freaks the hell out and tries to escape whatever room he’s in. No clue why, just immediate panic and run.

      For some reason, one of them HATES speakerphone like on my iPhone.

      You’d think it was the feline aural equivalent of waterboarding…

    If I start playing electric guitar, my cat will always come and lay in front of my amp - in my mind she likes it

    Snorre never cared - I tried to teach him about the importance of music, but he just never cared. Like he just filtered it out. No Matter the volume, no matter the music.

          Literally can’t (and won’t!) argue with tha 😹 The proof is in the pudding

          Edit: if its not too painful to recount, what was his final weight or fatness? Just wondering how urgent it is to get one of my own in better shape

            Also it’s the name of a Norse skald from ancient times. We do believe it means something like “the fast” originally, but in his case the s was silent. When he was put to sleep he has diabetes and kidney failure. His weight was about 8kg. snorre the magnificent

                The doctors said it would make no difference. It was a tough decision to put him down even if we knew he would only suffer. It still hurts missing him, but most of the time it’s all beautiful memories of all the time we had together. My SO had him for 8 years before we got together, so I only have pictures of his younger years. He was always fond of warm cozy places close to the food

                Extra bonus pictureoutside cat!

    My cat doesn’t show it cares about a damn thing unless it’s treats, eating my tuna, or following me around the house to meow for more treats

        Nah, never had issues with the tuna. She doesn’t associate opening of cans to food. I would ‘train’ her ear to not associate the opening of a can by not giving her wetfood or tuna right away. Always wait for a bit after opening a can. Seemed to work.

        She does however attempt to pick my coffee and I catch her licking the insides of cups that had old coffee on it. I don’t get it

          Keep her away from the caffeine. She don’t need more energy. How much terrifying energy must 18+ hours of sleep/day a’lend?
