RIP Mars, 2010 - 2024
This morning I found Mars run over by a car. I miss him very much. We got him from the shelter and he showed his gratitude every day. He was cuddly, playful, a rascal and very curious. Wherever I was, Mars wasn't far away and he spent many cuddly hours on my lap. I am stunned and incredibly sad. My heart is broken and I am crushed 🖤
Goodbye Mars, miss you, Thank you for love 😭 😿
Reading the vitriol in the comments section is part of the fun 🤭 OK, I am sadistic. Here's the thing - both sides of the #cat indoor/outdoor debate are right. But it depends on the where you live, the region and the cat in question (apparently there are cats who prefer to stay indoors? Omg where are those cats? I always get the damn opposite.) I think people should chuck away black & white thinking & just accept it is COMPLICATED.
Freedom! I took advantage of the preferred human and box-stealing man going to a human catnip place to escape! I was in too much pain to shout at them on their return. My leg really hurts :ablobcatcry: #CatsOfMastodon#Cat#Fedicat
As a reflection of how content is often skewed heavily by American audiences & creators, I was surprised to find out that the perception that cats should be indoor only is a uniquely American and perhaps, Aussie one.
In Europe & in Malaysia it is not unusual at all to find indoor/outdoor cats.
The reason why is probably a few things. In US & Oz, the local fauna is being devastated by cats. Also, the wildlife can kill #cats.
In order to improve my posts, the humans have bought me some pencils. I'm not sure what to do with them yet, but I'm working on it. #CatsOfMastodon#WriterChat#Fedicat#Cat
Seeing how unhappy #ApriCat has been, confined to my tiny apartment, longing for the outside, and spending most of the day alone (because I'm working), has made me rethink about how we approach pet ownership. Sometimes, animals are meant to wander, even if it means that their lives are shorter as a result.
What do you think?
Ps: Please no lectures about why we need to keep pets indoors 😅 I already know it!!
I went out to scream at the humans for abandoning me. I first screamed at them in the street, but insisted on coming back in through the back to annoy them. #CatsOfMastodon#Caturday#Cat
