Feline Foodie Fiasco: Feral Cats on a Culinary Quest


Title: “Feline Foodie Fiasco: Feral Cats on a Culinary Quest!”

Hello there, fellow food enthusiasts and feline admirers! Today, we embark on a wild culinary adventure as we delve into the whimsical world of feral cats on a quest for their next meal. These stealthy, furry foodies are out to prove that fine dining isn’t just for humans!

The Prologue: Hunger Strikes

Our story begins with a gang of feral cats who’ve decided that dumpster diving and bird chasing are so last season. They’ve opted for a more sophisticated approach to their dining experiences, much to the chagrin of unsuspecting restaurant owners.

Chapter 1: Sushi Shenanigans

Our first feline foodie, Whiskers McGourmet, is known for her impeccable taste in seafood. One night, she waltzed into a swanky sushi joint, looking for a delectable delight. The chef, who had been meticulously crafting a masterpiece, turned around only to find Whiskers perched on the sushi bar, eyeing a platter of freshly sliced sashimi. When confronted, Whiskers gave a disdainful meow that clearly meant, “I’ll have the salmon, please.”

Chapter 2: Pizza Party Crasher

Not to be outdone, our next cat, Sir Paws-a-Lot, decided that pizza was the way to his heart. He sauntered into a local pizzeria and promptly knocked over the delivery bags. As the mozzarella and pepperoni flew through the air, Sir Paws-a-Lot couldn’t resist batting at them like a ninja. The staff, though bewildered, couldn’t help but chuckle at his cheesy antics.

Chapter 3: Taco Tumble

Tina Tuna-Tortilla, another gastronomical guru, had a hankering for tacos one fine evening. She decided to drop by a popular taqueria. Tina managed to sneak into the kitchen and stealthily assembled her very own taco masterpiece. As she strutted out with her taco triumph, the chef couldn’t help but admire her culinary creativity.

Chapter 4: Café Cat-a-latte

Last but not least, we have Espresso Whiskerstein, who frequents a charming coffee shop. He became enamored with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and decided to conduct a “taste test.” Baristas couldn’t resist taking a break to snap pictures of Espresso Whiskerstein perched on a barstool, sipping espresso with a side of whipped cream.

The Epilogue: Foodie Freedom

As our adventures in feline foodie-ism come to a close, we can’t help but admire the audacity and creativity of these furry gastronomes. Who says fine dining is limited to us humans? These feral cats have shown us that culinary exploration knows no bounds, and sometimes, the best food is found where you least expect it.

So, the next time you spot a feral cat eyeing your meal, don’t shoo them away—perhaps they’re just in search of their next culinary masterpiece! Remember, in the world of feline foodies, every bite is a work of art and every dumpster is a potential Michelin-star restaurant.

Until next time, dear readers, may your meals be as adventurous as these fabulous feral felines!

Cats sleep for long periods of time, and their beds are very important to them. A cat who’s comfortable when sleeping is more likely to have pleasant dreams. Cats love relaxing before sleeping, and they love a cozy environment to doze in. Let you cat be whatever it wants to be in its dreams.

  • Cats like soft beds
  • Cats like privacy
  • Cats like to stretch
  • Cats like warm beds in winter
  • Cats like to play
  • Cats like sleeping in higher places
  • Some cats are afraid of closed places

Cats like soft beds because it reminds them of their mother’s fur, and it gives them the opportunity to knead, which sends them purring their heads off.

Cats like privacy because they’re solitary creatures. Of course, cats like to be warm. Mine always go to the cats’ beds in winter.

Most cats beds are soft and have raised edges for privacy. Here’s one that’s also heated for cold winter nights, a warm and cozy haven for your feline to escape to at the end of a long hard working day of chasing mice. Click to view.

How long should a cat be outside for? That depends on the cat. Letting a cat out is dangerous, but if you have a cat-proof fenced-in yard, you can let your cat roam for as long as it wants in a warm weather.

Every cat is different. An adventorous, playful cat will need more outdoor time than a couch potato.

Kittens, being hyper by nature, need more outdoor time.

Feral cats who are used to living outside will need more outdoor time than house cats.

Cats who live in a tiny apartment will need more outdoor time than cats who live in a large house, especially if there are other pets to keep them company, and they get along with and like the other pets.

Cats who are left alone for most of the day may need more time outdoors than cats who are surrounded by their human family most of the time.

I once had a cat who spent all her time outside, slept outside, and only came in for meals. The cats I have now spend most of their time indoors. Every cat varies in the amount of time they want outside. For most cats, an hour or two outside every day is enough.

Filling the house with vegetation in vases, realistic cats toys that act like real prey, cats beds, and cats window seats near large windows may limit the amount of time your cat wants to spend outside.

This cozy window seat will keep a house cat entertained, providing an exciting scenary of trees, running grasshoppers, birds, and squirrels. The cat’s equivalent of a cinema and enjoying the sunshine.

What kind of toys do cats like?

Most of us work out of the house and leave our cats alone at home. Cats need stimulation and exercise. Many cats owners want to know what type of toys do cats and kittens like to play with, what kind of toys do senior and Persian cats like, and what kind of toys do cats need to get the exercise required to keep from obesity and maintain a healthy life style.

This post contains affailite links.

What kind of toys do cats love the best?

What kind of toys do cats like the most? Here’s the list.

Cats love the smell of catnip. Catnip affects cats in many ways.

Toys that run bring out the hunter in your cat, applying to its evolutionary instincts. Especially toys that mimic prey movements. Cats also like toys that squeake, imitating the sound of prey.

What kind of toys do kittens like?

Besides the toys that grown cats like, kittens may like soft, purring toys they can cuddle with, because it reminds them of their mother’s fur.

Kittens also like small items that fit into their mouth. They love carrying things around.

And there are teething toys.

Kittens love to play even more than grown cats, and they’re often hyper. A moving toy will get them into a frenzy.

What kind of toys do cats need?

Cats need running toys they can chase to keep active, and scratching posts that’ll protect your sofa and other furniture.

What kind of toys do senior cats and Persian cats like?

Persian cats and senior cats like to take it easy. Each Persian and senior cat has a different personalit, so the question is: how laid back is your Persian/senior cat?

If it’s so relaxed, in the case of a Persian, or so tired, in the case of a senior cat, that they won’t run and pounce no matter what, then maybe they need a soft toy to cuddle with, or a tunnel bed to hide in.

But if your Persian/senior cat is willing to play a bit, but it’s hard to get it to play, perhaps it needs an automatic toy that runs, because it’s difficult to get it to pounce.

What kind of toys do bengal and Siamese cats like?

Bengal and Siamese cats are energetic and playful, so a toy that can be moved when pawed or an automatic toy that runs on its own will get them running and pouncing, happy and excited in no time.

Also, bengal and Siamese cats are affectionate, especially Siamese, so a toy held by their favorite human for them to paw is great because it gives them the opportunity to bond with their owners, play together.

These 3 mice are filled with catnip that’ll put your furry little friend in feline heaven. The right size to be carried in a cat’s mouse. Soft with dangling tail, like real prey. The perfect present for your cat.

Get these mice for me, human!

How far do domestic cats travel

How far do house cats travel? And how far do domestic cats travel at night? Is there a difference between a house cat and an outdoor cat roaming range?

This post contains affiliate links, and links to other posts.

Domestic cat’s roaming range

Domestic cat’s range differs from one cat to another. House cats usually stay within sight distance of their home, feeing safer in their familiar territory.

Cats don’t get bored as fast as humans do. They don’t want to explore other countries or dream about going to other planets. They’re usually quite happy in their yard, especially if it’s the kind of yard that cats love, with plenty of prey, bushes to hide in, and trees to climb.

How far will a cat roam from home? That depends on their personality. And the average male cat’s roaming range is larger than a femal cat’s roaming range.

I had a cat whom I’ve found three buildings away once, and a cat who liked to wander into the yard on the left and the one on the right, plus my yard, so her roaming range was three yards, not bad for a cat.

The cats I have now spend most of their time in my yard, and it’s not a large one. I often see them inches away from the building. Some cats are more adventurous than others.

Outdoor cats roaming range

Feral cats travel farther than housecats because they have to search for food, and because house cats can’t resist their favorite spot on the sofa, their cats beds, the warm and dry house, their toys, and their favorite humans.

If cats have litter inside their home, this reduces their need to go outside.

I had a cat who loved to roam outside for hours when I wasn’t home, but when I was home, he hardly left the house. He was very attached to me.

Cats who haven’t been neutered will travel much farther when in heat. Young cats will travel farther than older cats because they have more energy.

Feral kittens will travel a whole lot farther when they near sexual maturity so they won’t have kittens wither their siblings or mother, which will result in weak and sickly kittens with less chance of survival. Feral kittens who are neutered may stay in the same yard with their mother and siblings, especially if there’s plenty of food.

How far do cats roam at night?

Cats roam more at night, and usually farther than during the day. They’re night creatures. Night time is when mice and cocroaches come out, a nice time for hunting. It can lure a cat to leave the yard if there’s prey outside. On the other hand, if there’s plenty of prey in the yard, the cat won’t feel the need to leave.

This glowing red collar will scream your cat’s presence to cars. You can control the lights from steady glow, quick flash, or flash off with a push of a button. There are also green, blue, red, and orange collars. A pink color will look great on a gray cat, and a green one will compliment a green-eyed feline, helping your cat in its modeling career.

Should domestic cats be allowed outside

Should house cats be let outside? Should you let your cat roam outside?

Many times, domestic cats want to go outside, but should house cats go outside?

This post contains Amazon affiliate links and links to other posts.

Why should domestic cats be kept indoors?

There are dangers to cats outside. Cats can be hit by cars, stolen, lost, attacked by dogs or coyotes, or fight with other cats. Or they can pick up diseases from other cats, maybe even eat rat poison.

My Amiga got hit by a car years ago. Luckily, she only broke her upper and lower jaws, and the vet operated on her, and now she’s fine.

Sometimes you may have to let a house cat outside

Should house cats be let outdoors? Usually no, but that depends on the circumstances. I had a cat who got depressed because I wouldn’t let him out. He lost interest in everything, including food. I had no choice but to let him out.

I now have three feral cats who get hysterical if I don’t let them out. My Princessa scratches the window like crazy and mews non-stop. Some cats just can’t be kept indoors. Some will get used to it, and some won’t.

Some feral cats can get used to never leaving the house. Every cat has a different personality.

Do cats prefer to live outside or inside?

Most cats prefer to live inside, preferably with the ability to go outside. A cat-proof fenced-in yard is the perfect solution for a cat who wants to enjoy the comfort of home and the excitement and action outside.

Cats like homes because it provides food, water, a dry spot when it rains, shelter from strong winds, warmth on freezing winter days, safety, love, and a soft, comfortable sofa or cats bed to doze on. What more can a cat want?

But then some cats are just no home types. Chocolate Paws, a feral cat, used to show up at my house, eat, and run back outside. There was another cat, a one eyed orange one, who’d show up, eat, and leave. He’d just stay on the sofa if it was raining hard.

But my Amiga and Princessa had shown up for food and stayed. They stay every day, most of the day. They go outside, but they spend most of their time home. They love my sofa.

Can domestic cats sleep outside?

Unless you have a fenced-in yard, and you’re sure your cat can’t get out, it’s not a good idea. Foxes are more active at night, and they’re the same size as cats. Although foxes usually don’t start fights with cats, sometimes they do. And even if not, your cat may attack the fox to defend his territory.

drivers don’t see cats at night. Which is why they need a bright glowing collar to help the drivers see them. But even so, cats are still in danger of being hit by cars outside, especially at night.

What age can cats be let outside?

Every kitten is different. If you have to let your kitten outside unsupervised, wait at least until it’s 3 or 4 months old, and has gotten its vaccinations. Also, the vaccinations need time to become affective.

This bright safety color will keep your cat or small dog safe from car. Three light modes you can choose from steady glow, quick flash, or flash off with a click of a button. Lightweight.

Marking their territory

Cats like to mark your clothes as their own by laying on them and leaving their scent, claiming them as their own. That’s why cats like laying on your clothes.

Warmth

Your clothes just came out of the dryer on a cold and rainy/snowy day, and Fluffy happily leaps on top of it. Prrr. such bliss. That’s why cats love heated cats beds.

Softness

Cats like soft things that remind them of their mother’s velvety fur. Some clothes are softer than others, which makes your feline friend even happier.

Cats like pillows and soft toys, as well.

Your scent

Your cat loves you, and it loves your scent, which your clothes absorb. It also knows these are your clothes, they’re something that belongs to you, and it wants to feel close to you by laying on your bed, your clothes, etc.

Nest

A cat can get under the clothes in the laundry basket, or in a pile on your bed, dresser, whatever. Cats like a cave-like place that give them a feeling of privacy and safety. It’s also dark under all these clothes and easy to nap.

What surfaces do cats not like to walk on

There are surfaces cats don’t like to walk on, for different reasons. If you don’t want your cat to go in the kitchen, for instance, you can put material cats won’t walk on to keep them out. Or if you want them out of your bedroom when you sleep.

This post contains Amazon affiliate links and links to other posts.

What material do cats not like to walk on?

What won’t cats walk on? Let’s break it down to sound, texture, and smell.

Sound

Aluminum foil makes too much noise for the cat’s sensitive ears, and cats are famous for their noise phobia. Cats hate walking on aluminum foil and may run when they see it.

Texture

Cats hate walking on sticky paper or anything else that’s sticky for obvious reasons. Plastic and aluminum are annoying for their paws. Cats don’t wear shoes, and their bare paws are sensitive.

Cats also hate walking on any material that can be painful, like wood with splinters.

Ice is another thing cats hate walking on. It’s too cold on their bare paws. It hurts.

Smell

What do cats hate walking on? Anything smelly! Cats hate citrus smell, as much as we humans love it. Cats also avoid surfaces that smell like hot pepper, banana, tobacco, dirty litter box, vinegar, lavender, and citronella.

Another things cats hate walking on is plastic, because it make them slide.

Fear of new things

Some cats hate walking on new material. My Amiga refused to walk on a blanket that I put on the floor. She stared at it suspiciously and then ran around it.

If you replace the floor in your house, or if you move to a new house with a different kind of floor, like linoleum instead of wood, your cat may have a problem with that.

To solve this problem, you can place your cat’s favorite toy or cat treat a few inches away from your cat, and then, after the cat have walked this short distance and ate the treat or played with the toy, put another treat just a bit farther, and then a bit more…

What surfaces do cats not like to sleep on?

Pretty much the same as the material cats don’t like to walk on. Cats won’t like sleeping on a surface that smells, makes a noise, or is sticky or pricks its skin.

Cats also don’t like sleeping on a cold surface, or in a place that’s cold or exposed to rain or wind.

This heated cats’ cave bed provides gentle warmth, comfort, and a sense of privacy and safety. In cheery red color to brighten up any room. There’s also one in gray. Click on the image, or the button below.
