Is the cat just trying to move the carrot, or?

Rating: Cute

the cat is trying to absolutely fucking murder the carrot

(in all seriousness, this is an example of the overlap in play and hunting behaviors in cats. the cat is playing, but playing for cats involves practicing their hunting skills, so the cat is gripping the carrot and kicking it and shaking it and biting it in an effort to weaken it for possible killing and eating. all in good fun!)

dont worry, this is super photoshopped! this is the original, healthy cat:

thats the devil actually

My bf is more of a dog person and never really liked cats much.

But when we moved in together, I brought my cat. He acted for a while like he didn't like the boy, but I'd catch him in the corner of my eye petting him and hugging him, picking him up like an airplane, holding him.

His health declined pretty rapidly over the last few months. I was working so much I barely had time to notice. My bf would try to keep me updated; "He isn't eating as much so I started spoonfeeding him" "he's been spending a lot of time in the bathroom so moved his mat in there" "the vet said to give him his pills twice a day so I've been taking my vitamins with his midday pill" "he wet the bed again, sorry there's sheets all over the bathroom"

I was under so much stress from work, I couldn't handle the thought that my baby boy's health was declining. On occasion I'd go out, I'd invite my boyfriend. "I can't leave the boy" he'd say.

Last Sunday he took a turn for the worst. He could no longer even walk up the stairs to the bed (I got him little pet stairs because he was having trouble jumping up and down a few weeks ago). We laid with him all night. My boyfriend, especially, was extremely upset and holding him and kissing his head.

I joked that he hadn't wanted a cat in the first place, that he's turned into one of those dads that didn't want a cat, and he started to tear up.

"Dad's don't want pets because they don't want the grief of losing them," he said.

When we had to put the boy down on Tuesday, it was the hardest thing I've ever done. The both of us were sobbing. I'd never seen him cry that hard.

Dad's don't want pets, not because they won't love that pet with everything they have, but because they've been through the grief of losing a pet and are trying to protect themselves from going through it again.

I’m sorry I hope you don’t mind me reblogging but I burst into 1000 tears and I’m so sorry for your loss and you’re 100% correct

My dad: no I do not want a dog

My dad 6 months later:

That’s not just a dog that is your dads little baby girl
