Hi everyone,
Seriously... how do we not already have a thread dedicated to cats already?
@Former-Member & @Faith-and-Hope 's conversation in another thread inspired me to start this thread.
This is a place that you can post pictures and talk about everything cats.

Haha @creative_writer my friend often says "Cats are so autistic" and I happen to agree! No wonder you're drawn to them 😊
That video is so on point 🤣💯
@Former-Member yes they truly do know when we need some comfort!! Even just today, I was crying during therapy (it was via Zoom) and my lil Trixie came and snuggled up to me, I felt so blessed.

@Former-Member yeah for sure, they are just so wonderful! 😊
And don't worry about me, it was a good session and I was mainly crying because I felt incredibly validated and held by my therapist, she's so good to me 😉

Aww thanks @creative_writer, yeah it was a good session, I needed it for sure.
Yeah that makes sense! They're all whiskers and moveable ears, very sensitive animals! I even heard about something called 'whisker fatigue' - basically if you serve their dinner in something narrow/tall (instead of a flat dish for instance) they can get easily overwhelmed while eating cos their sensitive lil whiskers are constantly brushing on the edge of the dish!
So bizarre to imagine having sensitive hairs like that on the face, hey 🤔😅

Oh yeah ears are sooo sensitive! I used to use in-ear headphones only for the longest time. Till I found my perfect headphones... They're Sony active noise-cancelling. They only hurt my ears after like, 4+ hours, and even then a 20 min break is all that's needed. The active noise cancelling is a godsend for my auditory sensitivities, sometimes I don't even listen to music or anything I just activate them and pop em on, just makes the world way more bearable!
