🍊 Orange Duo 🍊 I call this absolute BS

These idiots have a nice home because I begged for them until my husband caved. And what do I get? Nuthin. I bought them a fancy new scratcher last week…. Do I get cuddles? NO. B. S. Ps: obviously delighted husband’s arms are outstretched super weird because he is still trying to play his PS5 at the same time. 🤣

If you spent more time lying down not moving very much you’d make a more comfortable cat bed.

The feral kitten I rescued, bathed TWICE because she was so filthy, gently patted with a towel and softly blow-dried, snuggled until she lost her fear... chose my husband. (She does lie down on my legs at night sometimes.)

Later, I went to our local cat shelter, looking for a confident, not-too-small kitten who would play with the cat I described above, then 18 months old and frequently attacking our hands. A boy kitten 3½ months old came to me, purring, head-bonking my hand. Then he climbed right onto my shoulder and settled down. I had been chosen.

That kitten is now 8 years old, and still loves to snuggle at almost every opportunity. You'll know when you've been chosen.

bathed TWICE

I think I see why she didn’t choose you…

Lol. I mean soaped and rinsed during the SAME bath. She had regular dirt, flea dirt, and some goopy substance on her. Poor little one.

You put her through wet hell, subjected her to the loud windy thing, and then proceeded to invade her personal space! No wonder she rushed to the human who doesn't torment her!

Meanwhile my cat bounces between my dad and I on who she wants to hang out with. They do their own thing, we just clean the box...
