Cats are jerks

[Beebo Brink]

Mine does that except instead of head butting me, she digs her claws into my arm to pull me over to her. Doesn't quite have the same cuteness to it.

My most grumpy and difficult cat will jump onto the arm of my recliner and softly tap-tap-tap my arm when she wants to be petted. My sweetest and most affectionate cat will sink her claws into my arm when she wants attention. She learned that claws get my immediate attention, and she's not one for waiting for what she wants.

The oldest cat who ever lived, Crème Puff, reached the age of 38 years and three days. They died on August 6, 2005.

38 year old cat.

In that same house? A cat that lived 34 years.
Granpa Rex Allen 1 February 1964 - 1 April 1998

Creme Puff's owner, Jake Perry, said her diet consisted of dry cat food supplemented with broccoli, eggs, turkey bacon, coffee with cream, and—every two days—"an eyedropper full of red wine". Perry claimed that this diet was key to her longevity, and that the wine "circulated the arteries".

Perry also kept Creme Puff very active within the home, turning his garage into a movie theater that played nature documentaries for his cats. Wooden steps were built into the walls of Perry's home for the cats to climb on, and Perry had built a screened enclosure in his backyard for his pets, including Creme Puff, to enjoy the outdoors

I'm posting this in the "Cats are Jerks" thread because I think it's a job a cat should apply for!

Do you have what it takes to be New York’s new rat czar?

The city is looking for ‘somewhat bloodthirsty’ applicants to a new role designed to tackle its very old rodent problem

www.theguardian.com

Hate rats? Are you a “somewhat bloodthirsty” New Yorker with excellent communication skills and “a general aura of badassery”? Then you might have what it takes to be the city’s new rat czar.

Mayor Eric Adams’s administration posted a job listing this week seeking someone to lead the city’s long-running battle against rats. The official job title is “director of rodent mitigation”, although it was promptly dubbed the rat czar. Salary range is $120,000 to $170,000.

“The ideal candidate is highly-motivated and somewhat bloodthirsty, determined to look at all solutions from various angles, including improving operational efficiency, data collection, technology innovation, trash management and wholesale slaughter,” reads that ad.

I know Larry the Cat is in London but I think he's bad ass enough that he could handle this job. I'd stack him against "Pizza Rat" any day!
