Oh I bet the cat just loves that! "No, Ma! Don't turn it off!"

"I don't know what this is but I like it! Wow, this house really comes with fringe benefits!"

That pad is better than cocaine and speed to a cat.

Add some catnip to that, and she's in heaven.

It would probably be a good idea to give him daily exercise by engaging him with some toys and play. All my cats were free-ranging cats, they lived in the house but were free to come and go as they pleased though they generally stuck in the yard close to the house, but in their youth, they did roam far and wide and sewed their oats.

He has toys. He rarely plays with them.
I try to play with him, and he's done after about 3 minutes.

I live in an apartment, so there's no yard for him to go out to.
But I bought him a vest harness and leash. Took him out one day and put him down on the grass and he freaked out.
He will go out on the patio and sleep somtimes, but if I take him past the front door, he starts screaming bloody murder.

Yep, that is typical of a house cat. I got my first cat at age 3, someone my mother knew was giving away a cat and she took it, brought it home, and when she took it out back on a leash, it almost hung itself.

When my grandmother died, we brought her cat home and probably would have kept and cared for it, but it was terrified and actually climbed up inside our dryer, back among and behind all of the wires and pipes and mechanisms underneath to operate it, and my father had one hell of a time getting it out. My folks took the cat to a pound where I doubt anyone adopted it because it was totally antisocial.

So, an apartment cat, you have to spark their interest, make them exercise, make it work for its food maybe, place it up high where it must climb up to eat or something. Your cat is probably lethargic from having no danger, nothing to hunt, nothing to do.

Maybe tell him you will get a big dog too if he doesn't shape up.

I like him the way he is.

Although, he's got his weird points................

He will sit in the window watching the lawn guys whack weeds, use loud cutters and mowers, and even louder blowers........and he just sits there and watches them. But when I turn on the vacuum cleaner, which is not as loud as all those lawn machines, he runs and hides in my closet.

My friend hates is because he doesn't beg for food.....not once. He is not interested in human food in the least. He will sniff my plate and walk away. He doesn't like the real meat of tuna, chicken, or beef. He won't eat soft food at all. He just likes his IAMs hard food, and thats it.

Even when I make tuna stuff for me, I will drain the liquid and give it to him. And it just sits there for a couple of days before I throw it out.

He does love his chicken TEMPTATIONS treats though. Other than that, he doesn't care for any other foods of any kind. Not even ice cream.

Your cat is a cat junk food addict. He's after the high of all those chemicals.

Don'tcha just hate the sound of an empty food dish? Cats are entitled to food! Never want to see a cat go hungry--- that food just falls from manna and drops into their dish at the snap of our fingers.

Better get with the program, lady.

Freak the cat out: Either super-glue the dish to the floor or maybe better yet, buy a dog or a big bird, then you will have a reason to forget feeding the cat because you were just too busy loving and feeding the cute new pet!

LESSONS LEARNED: Don't get cute, cat, we have ways of dealing with you.
