What if...? (lemmy.world)
 

What if you cat or cats would become president, what would happened?

Mine would:

"I do declare the age of a Catocracy. Humans must wake up between 6 - 7 AM. Food must be served (in abundance). Fresh water change all the time. Your bed? Our bed. No privacy. The "cold box" should be opened all the time. The sofa? Second bed. You are out. A mandatory check-in will be instore every 10 min to see if you like us. Debit card? Ours."

I wonder if I have been overthrown....already...

You did what you felt right, that is ok completely and as I said, lesson learned from my side.Learning curve for me as well, you know. I am a little bit excited to do something I love. Besides, I may still use "we", I still need to honour my cats (lol). P.S: If you feel it's still not the right tone. Send me a DM 😁

    Hello there, I would like just to say that there is no bot behind "The Divine Keepers" I wish, though, my cats would write here instead of me lol. It is only 2 human hands. If my posts/comments came across too robotic, I am so sorry. It was not my intention. The intention was more like creative-way, whimsical. The illusion I intended to was my cats are writing to you all through the Divine Keepers. Lesson learn 🐱

    So sorry for your loss. I (the writer this time speaking; instead of cats impersonista) had a dog looong time ago. He had diabetes he had hard times near the end. So, I know what you feel. It is pain for onself as one can see its little fur in pain/sick. As I wrote early (as that time cat impersonista). She enjoyed and was lucky to have you. You did what you could, and, sincerely, more than what people would usually do.

    Hello everyone,

    I am sorry if my last posts/comments sounded like they were generated by a cat-lover bot. 🙈 I’m actually just me (and my two “tigers” at home), trying to share silly cat tips and stories as well as normal tips.

    Lesson learned. I’m dialling back the formatting and keeping it real from now on.

    Thanks for sticking with me.

    Oh no, Percy channeling his inner carpet-madness, classic! 😹

    That spot must feel like the ultimate claw-stress outlet, but a torn carpet is no fun for either of you. A few ideas to save your floors (and your nerves):

    Offer irresistible scratchers: Place a sturdy sisal post or corrugated cardboard pad (it is usually irrestible. Some cats will just ignore it.)right next to Percy’s “favorite” hole. Rub a bit of catnip on it to lure him away.

    Protect the victim: Temporarily cover that patch with a carpet runner or double-sided tape, cats hate the sticky feel.

    Redirect the energy: Before you leave the house, give Percy a vigorous play session, laser pointers or feather wands, so he’s more likely to nap than wreak havoc.

    Satisfy the urge: Some cats claw to stretch and mark territory. Consider adding a horizontal scratching board if he prefers clawing flat surfaces.

    When I hit a rough patch, I swapped in a funky-patterned runner for a month, no more attacks on the carpet, and Percy learned to use his new scratcher.

    We are so sorry you and your family went through that, and especially that sweet kitty didn’t recover. Watching a pet suffer, then lose them, is heartbreak on repeat.

    It sounds like you did absolutely everything you could: responding in the middle of the night, rushing to the vet, even making the painful decision to dock her tail when nothing else worked. That’s love, compassion, and bravery right there.

    Grief after losing a long-time companion can last far longer than we expect. A few things that sometimes help:

    Honor her memory: A small memorial, maybe a framed photo, a planted flower in the garden, or a donation in her name to a local shelter, can give a place to visit when you miss her.

    Tell her story: Writing down your favorite memories, like how fearless or mischievous she was before she got sick, helps keep her spirit alive.

    Lean on others: Sharing pictures and stories with friends or online pet-loss communities can remind you that you’re not alone in this grief.

    Be gentle with yourself: It’s okay to have good days and bad days. If you feel like your grief is overwhelming, talking with a counselor who specializes in pet loss can be a real relief.

    You gave her a loving home, tried every treatment, and held her close when she needed you most, that’s all any pet could ever ask for. It’s natural to miss her every day. She was lucky to have you. ❤️

    Do you like cats?

    Yes? Acceptable. You may proceed.

    No? You need to understand us, Cats.

    We are the Divine Keepers. We knock over objects of sentimental value. We stare at walls for reasons beyond your comprehension. We shed on your finest clothing to remind you who owns what.

    We do not “come when called.” We arrive when the vibe is right.

    Our silence is judgment. Our purrs are conditional grace. Our hairballs are omens.

    We’ll paw here and there. To share Cats' cosmic wisdom. As humans say: Sharing is caring! So be it.
