We already had 2 cats.
When a stray cat started asking to be let in, I was very firm on this:
I don’t want another cat, I’m not gonna let him in, and I’m not gonna feed him.He’s currently sitting on my lap, purring.
Let him in.
How can you tell if a cat has dementia?
Well, is the cat over 10 years old? There’s a 25% chance that they have Kitty dementia.
That raises to 50% by the age of 15.
Actual symptoms are listed here.

Symptoms of dementia in cats include:
Acting disoriented or lost Vocalizing, often at night Staring off into space while looking at a wall or corner Forgetting to eat or drink unless food bowls are put in front of them Going to the bathroom outside the litterbox Changes in sleep cycle, being awake and active in the middle of the night Unusual interactions with other pets or family members (becoming more needy, more reactive, or more aloof) Forgetting that they have just been fed and asking to eat again Poor grooming habits Sleeping more than usualExcept for poor grooming habits and going to the bathroom outside the litterbox most of those are pretty much normal cat behaviour…
For real, if that list should be believed, then all my past cats had early onset dementia.
Wondering the same thing. I just thought my cat was stupid. But maybe it’s a legit medical condition.
Well one of you is wrong.

You’ve been chosen.
He’s orange, that’s just where he was standing when he lost the braincell.
Mine too, only he’s also extremely violent when he smells us and realises. My legs are covered in scars after our handful of encounters.
Don’t open the door
Unfortunately my cat needs to come and go. Sometimes he’s just out there and jumps in (like no hesitation or warning, it’s a jump scare every time)
Sometimes he sits out there screaming to be let in though. And my washing machine is in a shed outside.
As an aside, this was a very creepy notification on my door as my doorbell also creates notifications.
“Your doorbell has been activated”
“Don’t open the door”
That is incredibly funny. I laughed
Since they’re our overlords they wonder why some people wouldn’t let them in their own secondary kingdom
Cats own us, not the other way around. You are chosen.
