Does anyone know how to take care of a cat?

I've never had a pet before.

Kitty!

[faeblooded]

Yeah, yeah. I've got eyes.

What do you know about them?

[forcecaptainorientation]

(ooc: With the power of new icons behold her expression in the previous reply)

well she looks like just a regular cat and not a cat person so training them for combat is probably out maybe

I guess just make sure they're well fed and have a place to do their business?

[desadist]

you feed it, clean up its poop and play with it.
cats are easy.

[faeblooded]

What do you feed it? Tuna sandwiches? Fried cockles? spiced cake with tea?

[desadist]

The blood of your enemies!

But, meat. Raw meat seems to be the best, but it depends on the cat.

[raisedbybirds]

Are you sure that's not a Prismal or some other Moonblessed...?

[faeblooded]

....now that you say it, I'm not. Who knows what weird shit this place can do to people?

[raisedbybirds]

I suppose you'd find out anytime the moons weren't in cycle.

[galatining]

[Well this can't go wrong. Surely.]

What made you pick this one up?

[faeblooded]

I gave it a bite of my pretzel, and they took the whole thing.

Then they followed me home.

....Must be my charming personality, huh?

[UN: havefaith.

Well, since he's taking care of a cat...]

Feed it, groom it, play with it. Buy a litter box. And buy toys or a scratch post to prevent it from tearing your furniture. They are rather easy to handle as they are independent creatures. Mostly independent.

I have a pet cat of my own, she's young, if you like them to meet and play together.

[Make friends, whatever. Soon, attached is an image of a rainbow kitten. Yes, actual rainbow fur... It's a very pretty kitty.]

[faeblooded]

Whoa! That's a cute looking cat!

Tell ya what. What you're saying sounds good and all, but maybe you should bring your friend over to meet mine. I've played with cats in the street... but street cats are different from ones that take over your house.

I think this one was supposed to be inside and got out somehow.

[thundara]

Where'd you get that?

[faeblooded]

It followed me home from downtown. I made the mistake of feedinig them and they took it as an invitation.

Doesn't seem like this one was made for the street. They looked overwhelmed out there.

... kitty. ]

I do not know about a cat. Only rabbits.

[faeblooded]

I don't know much about rabbits, except that they're soft and rich people sometimes make a feast of them. It's trouble when they do that, but it is what it is.

What do ya know about rabbits that's different? Maybe it'll work for a cat that's more comfortable inside.

[the_archivist]

Lots of toys. You'll want a scratching post too or it will scratch up furniture. Entertainment is important for them.

You need to spend time with them, but respect their personality.

And obviously food and a little tray.

[faeblooded]

Yes, because they're royalty and they get that kinda treatment-- I get it. That's the normal talk.

What do you know about cats from your own experience?

[erranthero]

...why?

[faeblooded]

I made the mistake of feeding the cat, and it followed me home.

Now it's on my bed, laying there like it owns the place.

So cute! I want to pet it...

I am sure others have helped you already, so the only thing I can suggest is to dedicate some of your time playing with it everyday, and give it lots and lots of affection! It will certainly love you in return!

[faeblooded]

Maybe. I think this one got lost in town. It's very comfortable with people, and knows how to jump onto the fridge without getting hurt.

How do you look for the owner of a lost cat? It's not wearing a tag, but it's too well taken care of to be a stray.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwa!!
Look at his face!!
He is charming!
You must certainly give him everything he desires.

[faeblooded]

Isn't that the point of a cat?
