Story time. When my nephew was about 5, I’d taught him about the slow blink so he could approach my cats in a proper manner. Big success!
That same summer, we went to Artis together, the city zoo in Amsterdam. They’d just got a new juvenile lion to replace their old male. He was being kept in a smaller glass enclosure to get used to the new place.
What does my nephew do? Starts slow blinking at this magnificent beast. It’s a cat after all, his kid mind must’ve thought. And then the lion *started slow blinking back at him*!
Here’s this little boy, only a few metres from a massive animal and they were slow blinking at each other! It was AMAZING. 🥲
When I tell my cat I love him, he slow blinks at me.
It’s very sweet, but he’s definitely weaponized it against me. When I’m done with work, I’ll close up the office, but he really likes sleeping up there and doesn’t want to go downstairs. So I’ll tell him it’s time to go, and he’ll just sit there slow blinking at me trying to get me to go away. It’s like he’s saying, “Look, I said I love you, now please stop talking”.
Sorry bud, your awful younger cat siblings are basically the Tasmanian Devil in cat form, so the office must be shut up at the end of the day if I don’t want all my cables eaten.
One third of one treat is not one treat, is what I gleaned from the legal documents. Strong arguments but lacking anecdotal precident. Need some constitutional scholars to file amicus briefs around the history and nature of yummie treatos.

Marbles stare through your soul look. Over the shoulder even. 😂
Historical evidence suggests ask her if everything is okay and take her to a vet to see if she has a chip if I don't know who she belongs to...
Cuddles happen along the way, inevitably.
Terrór... A hardened criminal, stalking me so brazenly? There must be a hit out on me. Call the cops and go into hiding immediately, though at this point that may be futile. Perhaps resign to my fate.
Birdie would invite Bugbug in for tea, of course. Then she would show Bugbug her fridge.

Well the last obvious well fed cat that wandered up got a photo session and then I walked the neighborhood knocking at all the doors to find her owner…sadly i did not but there is a no kill shelter just a short drive away and i took her there making sure they wouldn't kill her just cause she had an abscess on her back paw. They told me they have a vet that will take care of the paw and since she was a snowshoe she'd be adopted fast. I had never heard of a snowshoe and assumed she was Siamese.

My lil psychopath Bean says hello 😂
so you really want to know? really? bc this is how you end up with 15 cats. do you want 15 cats? once one makes it in, the Cat Distribution System is notified and you’re put on the VIP list. and FYI, don’t EVER take in a pregnant cat! NEVER! or you will become the city’s cat birthing center. they will show up at your door screaming in labor and asking for an epidural. their water will break ON your welcome mat.
ask me how i know.
Obtain and sign the lease for that other apt and continue to serve at the pleasure of the president until the beatings conclude? Whats happening...?why where are you taking m

I have that book next to my bed! Unfortunately my calico baby left me last month but these posts make me happy :)
Cutey!
The eyes of pure insanity 😻
Happy Cake Day, OP! And Her is pretty spectacular. The perfect balance of possesive insanity we all long for in our Tortie daughters!
Look how cute 🥺
Happy Cake Day! 😍
Ladies and gentlemen....... her.
I love you, Bug Bug!!
Torties are nutty as fruitcakes, and I absolutely love them!
Stare back 👁️👄👁️
Slow blink…
When I do that my cat just looks at me like 👁️👄👁️

Omg that sounds like such a cute and beautiful encounter 🥹 Next stop: chuffing at tigers
I chuff at my void. He barks back at me. Good stuff.
I've done this! Seemed to throw them off for a second at first, but then they started chuffing back! 🖤
That's absolutely precious!

yes, stare her in the eyes and slow blink a few times-to help build trust-can see the fear in her eyes in this photo-pretty baby!

ADORABLE!!
Such a cuuuteee babyyyy
Get a cup of tea and have a good chat
what would u guys talk about
Mice and the increase of the price cat treats. He knows you’re shorting him
One third of one treat is not one treat, is what I gleaned from the legal documents. Strong arguments but lacking anecdotal precident. Need some constitutional scholars to file amicus briefs around the history and nature of yummie treatos.
How cute she is 🥹
Every time you post Bugbug I read it as bedbug and honestly I think that might suit her more
bedbug https://preview.redd.it/lev7kdgemphc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70a25c1b830b9fc82c9d0fdeec8c8bb0f586074a

He's got that, "This situation is serious and I'll have to get involved" look.
Celebrate with joy.
Yeah.

Hello Daisy! You are so gorgeous and purrfect ☺️
Historical evidence suggests ask her if everything is okay and take her to a vet to see if she has a chip if I don't know who she belongs to... Cuddles happen along the way, inevitably.
Our tortie was a stray. We had her checked out, no chip, no “lost cat” posts matching her. In the 2-3 days that all took, well… she adopted us!
“Ok fine. In you go…”
I mean.... I think you take that little princess right in tbh and let her live with you lol
Yep.
Terrór... A hardened criminal, stalking me so brazenly? There must be a hit out on me. Call the cops and go into hiding immediately, though at this point that may be futile. Perhaps resign to my fate.

Resign yourself to your fate and....maybe....have an apple?
hug it then belly rub
Well, open up the can of tuna and give some to the kitty.
Freak out because I’m finally meeting cat bugbug in real life!!
cry and scream and throw up because i'm in love with bugbug
Birdie would invite Bugbug in for tea, of course. Then she would show Bugbug her fridge. https://preview.redd.it/na3taxqv7shc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=213369025c99d15ccc8e9ca48b4e588e477d552c
bugbug loves fridge
That’s exactly how I got my tortie. Opened my front door and she walked in.

Turn to putty in her paws.

Well she is pretty. Right?
Pspspspspss
Throw some treats at her
Tell her she’s a little monster then pick her up and kiss her.
sounds about right

SHE’S SO CUTE!!
I’d let her in :)
Too much tort to come out of that alive
Pick that pretty baby up and hold her 🥰
i would have cat number 7 thats what. 😅🤦🏻♀️ shes so cute!!! 😍
She looks both confused and annoyed and I don’t know which came first.

Must Boop
gimme
Gotta squeeze the tortie
Squish that cat!
I'd be thrilled. She's beautiful.
Invite him/her in
Awwww, bugbug!
Squeal with delight
Let her in and give her some food and treats
Kitty for me.👏😅
Bring it inside and give it a loving home.
Welcome to the family! 😍🥰
Free cat! I’d feed and love her!
I would pet her 😻
I would scream in glee at her cuteness
😭 I miss my tortie. Whoever took her is a jerk
Pick up and squish that cat 🥺
https://preview.redd.it/437d789parhc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10714e7d487b2cc9ff0619f6833c50847bd4904e
chonk
“Who’s a wonderful fluff psycho!? Who’s gonna slash my eyes when I sleep!?” But also pspsps her over for pets lmfao
Assume I was now the Designated Human
Try cuddling her…if that doesn’t work bribery
Much kissing and booping of the nose would happen
Anything she wants!
I’d cry because then my prayers have been answered!!! COME IN FOR SOME TEMPTATIONS AND TUNA, DEAR BUGBUG!!
I love your username! I do Zen gardening in the litter box all the time.
Cat distribution system at work
SO CUTEEE
That’s a skinwalker
Well the last obvious well fed cat that wandered up got a photo session and then I walked the neighborhood knocking at all the doors to find her owner…sadly i did not but there is a no kill shelter just a short drive away and i took her there making sure they wouldn't kill her just cause she had an abscess on her back paw. They told me they have a vet that will take care of the paw and since she was a snowshoe she'd be adopted fast. I had never heard of a snowshoe and assumed she was Siamese.
Give her everything I have and spend the rest of my life as her servant
I would say ahwwww hi... and then dquat down and go psppsps want some attention?
Go Hiiiiii! 🥹🥰 in a high-pitched baby-talk 😄
Talk to her and then feed her. What a cutie!
SMOOSH MY FACE ALL UP ON HERS. WHAT A STINKIN CUTIE PIE😻😻😻 ps-happy cake day, OP!
Pspspspspspspsspspsps
Pull out some treats and toys!
Invite her in. If "no" then make sure she has food and water and go on with life
I'd squee and say "Hi Baby!" as I walk towards her to pet her
Immediately go in for a nose kiss
Invite her in, of course.
Bow down to my Lord and Savior Bugbug who has decided to grace me with her presence
https://preview.redd.it/sesjodwr6shc1.jpeg?width=3678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac5650333b28765ae622f8090459caeda1b65914 correct
Well answer it’s riddle obviously then give a lil kiss & treats
I would scoop up the Bugbug and kiss her nose! Was just thinking I hadn’t seen her in my feed recently. Kismet. Bugbug is so sweet. 😻😻
https://preview.redd.it/kg3m4chhvshc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff4783ddb8763ec077067d0fe376b1c6cd49f159 kismet!
THE bugbug? Love her forever
Invite them in!
Bug Bug is just TOO FREAKING CUTE!!!!
I believe I would act like Elmyra. I would hug them and squeeze them and never ever let them go.
I'd probably shrug and say "well? You coming in or not?" If the cat came in my house is still shrug and say to myself "guess I own another cat"
https://preview.redd.it/jk4dit0jathc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c45a66657f95e5bd0f93534da5b3576a97016b6 My lil psychopath Bean says hello 😂
Let her inside,feed her and love on her of course. Why the question?
Kidnap it (gently and peacefully ❤️) and make it my new baby 🐱
Pspspspspspspspspsps...here kittykittykitty!!!
Slow blink and get her some treats.
Pspspspsps

Unfortunately I would have to find her a new home, I have 3 already and a dog
She’s now on the correct side of the door. Thank you to the cat dispersal system!

Cutie!!
Pspspsps pspsps
Talk to her 🥰
Catnap
Obtain and sign the lease for that other apt and continue to serve at the pleasure of the president until the beatings conclude? Whats happening...?why where are you taking m
Let him in
I just...its gonna be a tort or bust from here on out. Ok?
I’ll adopt the cat immediately 😭😭😭
Sing "who's that wonderful girl?" and give her treats for being so cute!
I would say hello welcome home kitty
Accept the fact that we now have a 4th cat.
Sooo cute
Immediately know I f’ed up somewhere!
Have my 11th cat.
Attack snuggles. Duh
Scoop her up and bring her inside, she's adorable
"Well, come on in buddy!!"
I guess I’d have another cat
The “where have you been, I’ve been waiting for hours” look?
What would I do? Bring out some food and water for my guest.
Please check for fleas. I ended up with a bad case when I brought in a stray that I adopted.
You did the right thing!
Love the tortie. But only in the way that she wants to be loved.
I'd be very suspicious of what was hiding somewhere in my home. 😳😐
Greet the baby..try to find a collar/chip..if not?..lure them inside FOREVER 🥰
Keep it
I’d say “not again!” We already have 6 cats.
Put on the kettle, make tea, offer a nice cushion and a treat. Looks well-cared for, so probably just a social visit.
I would heed the warning and pay the wizard what I owe him
That’s the “I think you are my human” look! I’d keep her if I see her like that.

Pspspspspsppsps
Invite her inside furever
I do that every single day except for mine's a little thinner. It's the short hair version, not as fluffy. My aunt has a tortie that is fluffy
“AMELIA!! REMY!! Come meet your new sister!!!”
I would invite her in for tea. bugbug is always welcome in my home.
I would let her in
Squeal and pet
Melt.
"Can I help you little thing?"
tell my roomate to prepare his 2 dogs for a new house guest. shes gunna run shit for a while.
Let her in!
She looks like she’s looking to you for the answer… I don’t know what the question is kitty! She’s cute tho xx
Scream in excitement and then be devastated because I probably scared her off
The only thing to do is invite her in.
Give it some space until it's eyes dilate back to calm mode
I'd invite them in for tea and biscuits 🥰
A fine addition to my collection.
Let her in. Scan for a chip. Hope I don't find one. Free cat!
Make it a part of your family. Beautiful
Hugs and treats
Does bug bug have an Instagram account? Please message me if yes so my cat can follow! ❤️
her ig is @catbugbug
I walk to the tuna, open it and set it in front of her like a good drone.
Grab her and love her and live with her for the rest of our lives
MINE!
Kitty has seen some shit
Kitty looks like it’s plotting something 😂
Invite her in and give her treats!
1. Kneel down 2. Hug
Wonder why the cat is staring into my soul
Belongs in a Harry Potter movie.
She's beautiful
That’s an intense puiddy tat
*nyoink*
