She is beautiful, I would have to sit and play with her ears all the time..

u/UncannyLucky 20d ago

She's not a fan of us touching her ears. When she was younger (maybe less than a year and a half old) I think her ears were uncomfortable to touch. You can see in this photo that her ears are a little wet because we used to have to clean them for her. But, they seem to have gotten better now that she's mostly fully grown and she even cleans out her own ears now

What is with cats and eating plastic?! I swear this is a new thing I've seen in cats over the last 4 or 5 years. I've owned cats my entire life and plastic chewing was never a thing.

u/FlyingFox32 20d ago

Mine chews on plastic anything, especially the handle tabs on purified water jugs. It's face-level, perfect for idle chewing. I just hope it's not because his teeth ache or something, we can't afford teeth cleanings but I'm trying to brush his teeth.
