I copped a brush and brush her everyday. She's cool.
Backstory:
Marilyn was dropped off at the shelter/adoption space by somebody. She was under a year old and was still loaded w/ milk.
Apparently she had recently gave birth. I dont know the previous owners story so I can only speculate.
I caught the buzz for a cat and saw her photo online. Trooped out to Long Island and went through the procedures to acquire her.
She hid for the first two hours when she got my apt, and was chillin' on my lap by the end of the night.
Doesnt meow alot and likes to bite/nip while being stroked sometimes. She rolls on her back and it seems she wants to play. She'll bite my wrist and shit. Whatever.
She's a little fat so I gotta regulate her portions and shit.
Copped a scratching post and she dont fuck w/ it.

Thats funny.
I have this idea that all cats like fish, like a Tom and Jerry cartoon, so ive copped a gang of fish themed cat-food.
Dry and wet.
And my new favorite store is now PETCO. Holy fuckin' shit.
What's this model of "brush" called? The Guantanamo?
lmho - It's called a shedding blade.
After going through three other brushes that had my cat trying to chew my hand off, this is the only one she'll put up with. She's a long hair and this gets rid of a lot in the short period of time her patience lasts.
Tablespoon of wet food every night - Merrick, Wellness or Natural Balance brands
Bowl of dry food - Orijen, Holistic Blend or Acana brands
Fresh water every day
This cat I live with now, you can leave food in the bowl and she will self-regulate. I used to have a cat that would eat the whole bowl, barf it all up and then the other cat would eat the barf. So there had to be multiple daily feedings with careful amounts...which also meant 4am wake-up calls by banging cabinet doors open and shut, knocking shit off counters and dressers and meowing like death was gripping their tiny furry throats. Which it was not.

I love our shed blade. Originally designed for horses I think. Does a great job on dogs or cats and gets the undercoat.

Bassie's cats get the good food. Our pet shop dropped Wellness on some quality control issue. I think the brand we use now is called Great Life. Orjem is real nice, but expensive.
When cats roll on their backs and expose their tummies, this IS NOT an invitation for you to stroke or touch them there, cats pretty much hate that. In fact, it is a sign of the fact that they are comfortable with you and you are breaking that trust by trying to stroke them like that. Stick to their backs, back of the kneck & head.

I thought it meant, please stroke my stomach so I can grab your arm with my front legs and kick with my back legs and reduce your hand to a bloody stump.

It is a sign of them being comfortable, but it`ll still vary from cat to cat. That is a passive position, but it`s also quickly turned to play and wrestle position.
While females have fewer urinary issues than males, i`d still recommend a water fountain for her. It may sound silly, but it can encourage healthy drinking.
Make sure you keep her litter clean.
Very happy for you and your new friend. She`s beautiful
Also. If it's an indoor cat that needs exercise and a release for it's hunting instincts, buy a cheap lazer pointer and have endless fun watching your cat trying to catch that little red dot.

Cat is one of the few animals that I haven't eaten.

Years ago my (ex) girl and I went to get dinner at our go-to Chinese joint around the corner in the East Village, only to discover that it had been shut down by the Board Of Health. The next day I read in the paper that they had been found with a freezer full of dead cats. This prompted the discussion "what was in that hot and sour soup?" It wasn't pork, wasn't chicken.

Do what he says and every thing will be fine.
"Yea, I guess that chair should go there."
She's lovely! (The link never worked)
A brush is essential- especially with the hot weather coming. Some cats HATE being brushed, others love it. Good luck.
There are a lot of brushes out there, I like these two styles the best.

She's a nice looking cat and seems like she's already taken to you, which must be a good sign for the future.
I just like the idea of cats on twitter.

Cowboy cookout, surf turf pate, turducken, and Grammy pot pie.

I think raw food is stupid.
lol yup. She won't fuck with the chunky stuff though, only the p├ót├®-y smooth stuff.
processed > natural?
I saw some lady lightly roast some chicken and blend it with some nutrients packet.
