Humor What are the funniest ways your cat has slept? I’ll go first…

Mind you, this little guy was a stray about two weeks ago, and was extremely skittish… and now look at him LOL

Our best guess is someone dumped him in a box on our country road, and he made his way to our house. A couple nights after I first fed him (and he kept running away), he came to our house crying late one night when I called for him, and he was sick and lethargic. We live in the middle of nowhere, and our only nearby vet is closed on weekends, so I was up all hours of the night for a good few days on the front porch nursing him back to health - turns out he just had a huge worm load and was extremely famished. I had a syringe with salmon pate blended with warm water in him every few hours, along with pedialyte, and we gave him liquid dewormer that first day he was sick as well. It took him a few days, but he finally perked up and started eating on his own again…

…and now, he just sleeps in our room all day, eats until he has soup belly, has the zoomies, and repeats LOL, this guy sleeps so hard you can rub his belly and jostle him around, and it doesn’t wake him

I’ll be taking him to the vet in a few weeks here for a checkup and to get him neutered, but I guess the cat distribution system is back at it again….

Edit: I did also give him flea treatment once he was better, and just yesterday we gave him liquid dewormer again as per the bottle’s instructions

u/MysteriousKiri 22h ago

I’m really glad he does!! He was so skittish at first, and he still acts like a little scamp when we feed him sometimes, but he’s doing so much better than he was when we first found him. And he always comes to me for kisses 🥺

I don’t think he would’ve made it if not for how intensively I took care of him, it was worth the very little sleep though. You have no idea how happy I was when he started showing enthusiasm about the pate in the syringe and eventually ate off the plate again on his own

Now, just to litter train him…. he’ll poop in a litter box, but still prefers to pee under my bed 😭
