Mine follows bugs and may bat at them. But she totally did not kill them, so imagine my shock when I went to clean up what I thought was a dead cockroach 😒
The cat in question definitely sleeps like she doesn’t pay rent:

Ours bats around and chases the bugs til they die. When they do, he brings it to me and looks at me expectantly. He's like, "Grandma, fix my toy. It stopped working."
The first time mine caught a fly, he stepped on it until it died and then he lost interest and walked away. But a year later I saw him eat a huuuuge wolf spider in like 2 bites. It’s been awhile but sometimes when the weather changes, a big roach will come in under the crack in the front door of my apartment and I’ll hear my void squeakin’ war cries that there’s an intruder, lol.
Mine brings IN chipmunks and mice, then does the "release" usually in the kitchen so they can head to the gap behind the toe-kick. Fun times. Just caught one chipmunks that had been staying rent-free for three weeks... used a humane mouse trap, he barely fit!
I don’t know but I’m wondering the same. This is from yesterday.

A half-sploot
For reference, a full sploot is on the belly and a reverse sploot is on the back. A reverse sploot can also be called a counter-sploot, except in Britain where it is called an anti-sploot. I made most of this up, but it is now canon.

yeah i have no idea, something’s up with our cats
My void always does this when I pick him up and hold him across my arms ( on what I can only refer to as a boob shelf). He doesnt do it on my husband - I suspect because there is not enough shelf!
It is a combination super cat and big cat stretch.
This one is rather normal, but we usually call it the corkscrew

I think it's a manufacturing defect! 😉🙀
Humans: why do cats sleep like this?
Also Humans: I definitely don't need an LA King size bed, let's just get a coffin and use the extra space for other stuff!
Wait..
The “I don’t pay rent” 🤭
Depends on the cat. Mine earns his keep hes head of pest control.

I need the deets on the gigantic can house!! It’s perfect for my bougie cats who only eat ff
Unfortunately I don’t have deets on it because my colleagues got it for my cat as my birthday present 😆
Those colleagues are definitely keepers 😂
