I guess it heavily depends on where you live. Where I live there are zero stray cats just wandering the streets. The shelter I got one of my cats from actually did have a ton of former strays, which really surprised me, but that shelter is smack dab in the middle of a pretty rural area and there you’ll have some. But definitely not in the cities.

Is she food obsessed the whole day or just in the morning? One of my cats was like that, the whole day, and it turned out she actually had worms (my fault, I didn’t think it was necessary to deworm an indoor cat), and now that it’s treated she is very chill with food.

Why doesn’t you mom take that poor cat to the vet? Compulsive grooming is a symptom, not a thing onto itself. She probably would also be a lot sweeter if she wasn’t constantly in pain or itchy or stressed or whatever is wrong with her.

Haha so true. A friend of mine used to have two big tomcats and a little puffball void girl. Guess who was the boss in that household lol. She had those boys under her paw

She definitely knows and reacts to her name. I also don’t think all cats are dumb. It’s just that this particular one is a little dummy. Intelligence varies between cats just like it varies between humans or dogs or whatever other species on the planet. I’ve had four cats in my life and it’s pretty obvious who are a little more gifted in the intelligence department and who aren’t. I mean, she knows her own name and what happens right before the vacuum comes out, but God forbid you give her the absolute simplest treat puzzle in the damn world. She literally hasn’t figured out a single one in her 5 years on this planet while it took/takes my average or smart cats 30 seconds. I had a cat who was even dumber than her, but she was the runt of the litter and I think something was actually a little wrong with her, lol.

One of mine is pretty dumb but she does know I’m about to vacuum as soon as I pick up the first of her toys off the ground lol. Maybe that’s why she’s so dumb, I guess all of her intelligence points went into that and now there’s nothing left for other stuff

She walks upright with them but only backwards. Very strange cat. Still love her!

Haha, if it’s up to my white and red girl she always has the highest priority for petting! She can definitely be a bit possessive of me lol

The black one is perfect but my white and red girl needs to work on her loaf form!
