    They ekekekek if they want to hunt or to grab your attention / attention of other cats for the hunt. I run around with a bug zapper paddle and hunt with my cat. I see a moth, I ekekek at him and he comes in running, grabs the thing and eats it. Sometimes he ekekeks at me and I grab the paddle and launch a serve at a fly. Gets him off my back for playtime, since playtime is basically simulating a hunt, and he goes to eat and sleep shortly after.






  • There is also a trick I used to do - fill the food bowl with water (wetfood only). The cat plucked it out of the water and then drank the water. They take in most of their water from drinking blood / when eating. Also important to feed them internal organs - chicken hearts, livers, etc.





  • This isn’t “THE” solution though. Plenty of other options. My favourite is meal prepping - spend three hours cooking for the entire week, put it in the fridge. Instead of an hour / hour and a half each day. You only have to clean up after yourself once too.

    Issues are you need to prepare things that reheat well, or that you can quickly “cook up” each day without it taking too long. I.e. “just add the sauce to the salad” type of deal.





  • Mine picked up on my name quickly. Then I trained him to use buttons and he correctly can understand that the button for my name means he wants my attention / denotes ownership of something. I.e “<catname> food” and “<myname> food” which means he leaves it alone. Often says shit like “<catname> <myname> lets play” or “<myname> pets <catname>”.
