Tortie owner here, too. Natasha (named appropriately after the Black Widow from Marvel) is still playful at seven years old, likes to cuddle with me in bed, and goes after my hand for chin and face skritches like no other cat I’ve ever seen. She also has a unique way of playing with my girlfriend’s dog, a two-year-old female labradoodle, that makes you think she’s being hostile but their interactions with each other are pretty entertaining. The cattitude is strong with this one!
My cat has a serious case of the zoomies after a trip to the litter box. I think pets just feel lighter and get that burst of energy after doing their business.
Anthony not so boring now, is he, Liz?
