That's so funny! So Hermie likes to lay on the stove?!  I had a cat that liked kitty treats so much that she would jump up on the counter and try to get the cabinet open to get her treats. 

I dont know why but that pot seems to be one of his favourite hang out spots-and hes way too big for it lol. he’s really goofy. 

 

I cant even say the “treat” word around my cat

Cats versus humans:

VICTORIA — People around the world have been following the antics of three local cats engaged in a battle of the wills with their owners over possession of a box containing a blender.

It all started innocently enough Dec. 16, when Jessica Gerson-Neeves, 40, of Victoria received a Vitamix blender she had ordered to make smoothies for her and her partner Nikii, 38.

 

She placed the box on the floor of her apartment kitchen, intending to take out the five-kilogram machine in short order.

Max, her four-year-old tuxedo cat, jumped on the box and made himself comfortable.

Accustomed to Max clambering onto surfaces around the apartment, Gerson-Neeves didn’t think anything of it, even taking a picture of him. She waited for him to get bored and scamper off.

But when he did eventually get off his new-found perch, one of the two other cats in the household, 13-year-old George or Lando Calrissian, would take his place.

The couple used toys, treats and other boxes to try to get the cats to relinquish their prize, to no avail.

They even crept into the kitchen in the middle of the night, hoping to catch them away from their post. Not a chance.

It has now been just over four weeks since the human-feline battle began — and the cats have so far been triumphant.

“Of course, we can just move them. We know that we, as humans, are larger and can easily just pick up the cats, but that isn’t the point,” said Gerson-Neeves, who has been providing almost daily updates on the standoff online. “I see this as an opportunity to do something fun and wholesome that everybody can enjoy, especially during these dark times.”

The cats, who have their own social-media page, have seen their Facebook followers explode from 64 to 15,000 as more and more people tune in to see what they will do next.

Some ask what all the fuss is all about — but those few are generally suspected to be dog people. The rest of the conversations are filled with pictures of other cats and descriptions of their unique habits and foibles.

“Cat people just get it,” said Gerson-Neeves, a licensed clinical social worker. “The cats are just doing their thing.”

After the couple approached Vitamix with the idea of introducing dummy boxes to lure the cats away from the one containing the blender, the company sent Gerson-Neeves three empty boxes. So far, they have set one up in the small apartment, with mixed results.

“This has turned into something bigger than us — and a lot more fun than expected,” said Gerson-Neeves. “(The cats) are having fun. We are having fun and the internet is having fun. We all need that right now.”

She's so precious!   She was watching me open a package and mail.  George follows me everywhere and hangs out with me while brushing my teeth, watching TV, working, sleeping, just chillin'.

It is with indescribable sadness and heartbreak that I let you all know that Terra  has passed away.

 

At 19 years and 5 months old we got to enjoy her for so long.  She gave us all the unconditional love she could but it was time we gave her the eternal rest she needed.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments over time in this thread.

The newest member to our family. A 7 month old rescue. (Breeder tried saying he was purebred Olde English bulldogge.. lol)

 

Having trouble finding a name for him though, suggestions welcomed.

Let’s see the bully face! 
 

I’ve long thought of Bo as a name for my next male dog. A good dog name and a nod to our current Canucks captain.

I also thought of Bo, but I feel it just doesn't suit him. He's very timid and Bo seems more of a strong name
