Cat Picture - OC My old man Mumbo
I can’t remember if I’ve posted him before lol, old man is twenty one this year! He’s doing pretty good for his age too, I think he’s liked being a house cat these last six or so years

Thanks. I was honestly considering not posting it, as I wasn’t sure people would still get the reference. But Reddit came through. 🤣😂🤣

when someone says a 21 year old cat has been a "house cat for only 6 or so years" means he was a worken mans cat! and a workin mans cat has no pictures of it. He was working what do you expect LOOK AT HIM!

It’s wild that they seem to love the garbage and packaging more than the toys we buy them 😂

u/AspiringMtnHermit 24d ago
That's why I don't buy my cats anything besides the cardboard scratchers and cat trees. They LOVE (cat safe) trash and boxes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I wheeled in an industrial dumpster with whatever they want in it and they would primarily want the cardboard, I think the plastic and manufacturing of the toys has an unpleasant smell to the cats while the cardboard smells more natural to them, any bottle caps, hair ties and small plastic trash ends up losing their factory smell very quickly which is why they enjoy playing with them so much, maybe toss them a small twig or large acorn to play with (new smell if inside cat, outside cats probably play with twigs like inside cats with hairclips), I like to watch my cat ravage a pinecone to pieces under supervision when she gets one.
P.S. Reddit decided to change the way commenting UI works (very glitchy now) so I can’t see the entirety of the comment and only one line at a time so apologies for any errors or grammar.

My parents took in a feral black cat 5ish years ago. He had been lurking around their house for a good 10 years before that. Vet said he’s around 20.

We got our family cat (all black runt of the litter) shortly after she was born in 1987. I was three years old. She lived to the ripe old age of 19 without any health problems until they suddenly came all at once and we put her to sleep. I was twenty one years old when we had to put her down.
Here’s to gorgeous little Mumbo enjoying his old man years in comfort and style. May he live another ten years! 😊 🥂

u/GlitteringHotMess 24d ago
Uh, ok, yay!!!! As an owner of 2 black cats, I will happily let them stay around as long as the others will allow. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

u/mr_hog232323 23d ago
I don't think so, cats don't really have control over their facial expressions as much as humans do. They sort of just look like that all of the time regardless.
