You just want one surface area to clean. No moving parts, nothing to break down.

Domestic cats aren't big enough to do much damage to humans, and therefore it isn't as important in living among humans that cats be tame. Their jaws are for killing birds and mice.

Depending on the individual, the pain of abandonment by someone you love, is worse than the pain of living in a cage. How am I going to keep them from bonding to me?

Some cats like variety, others will not eat unless it's what they are used to. To determine what they like best, offer two dishes, letting them smell both before serving. See what gets eaten first, and keep notes. This may vary over time, just the way humans may feel like having Thai food one day, yet have a craving for a burger the next. So don't dismiss a food unless it has had a thorough testing. text/html 2023-12-21T04:33:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://mekineer.com/feline/relationship Relationships How to Have a Good Relationship With Your Cat In order to have the best relationship with a cat, you must treat them as an equal. Your relationship must be altruistic. Their happiness comes first. Cat owners will joke that they are slaves, but in actuality, they love serving their cats, because when a cat sees that you are for them, they are also for you.
