My cat is weird. Refuses to sit in boxes.

Why do cats miaow more at men? Because they just don’t listen

Felines are noticeably noisier when greeting male owners, a study finds — suggesting they have learnt to turn up the volume for humans who are slow to respond

That is weird. Even weirder than the new cat not being scared of vacuum cleaners.

Orange cats are so derpy.

All gingers are crazy.

I know because I married one.

And that's why dogs are better to have!
They would be thrilled for the ride along!

That sounds like a Monty Python sketch. "Mmm, crunchy elf."

We were missing having a kitty around – our cat was euthanized last spring because of an untreatable cancer – so we adopted one over the weekend. Like us, he's a senior. We know it's hard to find homes for older cats. Unfortunately, his previous human had him declawed, but that's certainly not his fault, and he deserves to be cared for and loved. He'll live indoors exclusively, and our vet told us what to watch out for.

He's a sweetie, taking every opportunity to lie in our laps or play fetch with small toys. Our challenge now is to get him to trust our dog, who's also old. We're taking it easy, introducing them gradually. (Tips on how to do this appreciated!)

“Would you like me to box that up for you?”

Got the lads fixed today (because, uncut adult males can be problematic) and now they are struggling with the "cone of shame" (as the woman at the vet called it). And it is a serious struggle for me, for it is heart-wrenching to see them flounder around, yet how can something be so sad and so comical at the same time?

I hear you, those cones are the pits.
One possible alternative we used on our dog was to put on a tight "shirt" that blocked her access to the sutures.
Worked like a charm.

We used something that looked like a hemorrhoid cushion that goes around their neck. It allows them to eat easier but still not lick whatever.

hemorrhoid cushion

Thanks, but our girls would never have accepted something like that! The "shirts" were ok as "fashion accessory"...

The vet wanted names. We are kind of casual and had not really gotten to naming them. We have been calling the larger one Red mostly because he is clawful. The little one did not really have a name, so I told them Mark, because he likes to rub all over you. They are dumb names, but at least they lack any hissy consonants.
