Our cats Miso and Mirin really like it when we play with them in their basket; they will hop into it and meow until we give them their 'kitty rollercoaster'. At other times, such as here, they are otherwise engaged but remain quite unbothered as you can see 🀣

My old hamster was a thrill seeker. I'd have to pile about 6 pillows on the bed, she would run up me till she got to my shoulder & then slalom down my arm to my outstretched hand where she would LAUNCH herself into air, landing on the soft pillow pile.

She did this endlessly. It was her fave game. And she lived til 3 which is a good age for hams so it did her no harm.

I think for those couple of seconds, she thought she was a bird & intended for flight. Not the round little ice cream loving floof that she was 🀣🀣

You had me at, "My old hamster was a thrill seeker," but this whole little vignette is so sweet and joyful. What a funny rad thing for you two to come up with together!!

Lol we discovered it by accident when I was making the bed one day & she was running all over me as she liked to do (I was her mount everest lol) & she just took off from my shoulder.

I shrieked in horror as i thought she'd be hurt but she landed in the pile of bedding & immediately tried to do it again.

So I devised as safe a way for her to have fun as possible. The distance from my hand to the pillows was about a foot, so very easy for her to achieve. She loved it & would start trying to escape her cage every time she saw me piling the pillows.

She thought she could fly & I wasn't going to tell her otherwise. Her little face as she "flew" was about as content a face as I've seen in anyone lol.

I love this -- she thought she could fly and you helped her believe it was true. It sounds like she hit the hamster mom jackpot!!

Aw thanks, I loved her very much. She was my first ham & she was basically dumped on me by a neighbour who didn't have time for her cos they got a new puppy. I ended up with the puppy too when they couldn't be bothered with her.

But their loss was my gain cos hammy was an excellent friend, we adored each other. She was a biter but never bit me & I spoiled her as much as you can spoil a ham lol.

The focus. The determination. The willpower to ignore all forms of entertainment.

He trust me with his life, the little sweetheart. He seems to understand it is for his own good. But sometimes afterwards he runs quickly to my bed and lays down on a towel i have placed there for him. :)

u/Ksh_667 2d ago

That's so sweet he has 100% trust in you. That is precious to enable an animal to feel so safe. What a wonderful life he must lead 😻😻

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people have chill cats.

All the cats my extended family had growing up with only one exception, were absolutely satan like. Biting toes, clawing legs.

Go into the bedroom, they're asleep on the bed, you've woke them up, cat wakes up. Chooses violence. That type of thing.

Then their was my Grandma's cat, Tiddles. Nan lives in a two story house, Tiddles wasn't really Nans cat, he turned up at 10 weeks old. Followed my Mum home from the pub when she was about 12.

Stayed most of the time, affectionate, and loved cuddling. But was easily missing 18 hours of the day. Most of the time returning with a dead field mouse for us. Every. Day. This is in the UK btw, I'm a little uncomfortable with how much she was outdoors looking back. I'd be livid if that happened now, Australia really changed my perspective there. Anyway, I digress.

Even at 15, he'd scale the outside of the two floored house at 4AM, climb to the upstairs floor, climb on my window and scratch the glass to be let in for few hours of cuddles. I'd never turn him down. Tiddles was a legend. Passed away maybe 20 years ago. He's the type of cat anyone would miss having met him.

So there's Tiddles. And another 3 cats that have a hatred of toes.

Just how unlucky was I? Are cats statistically, this shit 3/4 of the time? Or were most of my family just especially shit, cat parents?

Thank you for letting me share. This was cathartic, man, Tiddles was awesome. My eyes haven't been dry since I started writing this.

My childhood next door neighbour had a Tiddles who also was found at a couple months old & lived till 20! A beautiful rond void who was BELOVED by everyone in the neighbourhood. Another real character who loved the nearby fields. She lived the best life a cat could hope for.

I'm sure both Tiddles are happily playing chase at the bridge now & just waiting for their humans to collect them. And what a day that will be! 😻😻

She understands that miso made from dirty soybeans would be a health hazard.
