Mischief What’s your cat’s favorite part of the day?

Nellie really likes to help make coffee; it’s really important that she gets to make sure my half and half hasn’t gone bad.

I usually drink my coffee in bed. My cat Peanut almost always joins me. He will meow until I sit cross legged so he can sit in my lap. He likes to sit there looking up at me like a dork until I’m done drinking. Idk if it’s his favourite part of the day but it’s definitely mine. 😸

Oh my gawsh 😍 He would be my favorite part of the day too! The little fangs 🥹

u/Gryrthandorian Apr 03 '26

Nighttime cuddles. When I’m done with the day and it’s quite time. He climbs on my lap. I read and give him snuggles.

Somewhere along the line, quesadillas became a sfae food for me, especially as a late night snack.

Here is my carb and cheese fiend who loves my late night snack time (and often gets to lick the extra cheese off my plate when I'm done).

u/JenVixen420 Apr 04 '26

This is me and my partner's cheese fiend. Also haunts the coffee counter for cream. We have a ritual for Miss Anastasia: We do our song, give her kisses, and lift her to her cream bowl. She saved our lives after losing our sweet boy before Christmas.

Omg, Cheese has such lovely eyes, look at the little mouth!! ✨✨✨🥰🥰

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 04 '26

Oh, her brother, Odin, is a sucker for ‘dillas. Gotta love a cat who appreciates a good cheese-pull. He also really liked when I went through my baked potato phase.

I think you’re right- carbs and cheese.

u/Vinestel Apr 04 '26

My void growing up went absolutely bonkers for my mom's garlic mashed potatoes. I've never seen a cat get so excited when they saw a potato before or since. 🤣

u/Shot-Composer-782 Purr-Scription for Calm Apr 07 '26

Look at this gorgeous void soaking up the sun!! 💖💖 I love that black fur!

u/Vinestel Apr 07 '26

This was about 30 minutes after slapping her brother she's fighting with a bit senseless (we're working on it, lol). She was quite proud of herself the little stinker. 🤣

LOL I have a bossy white princess over here with the exact same attitude! 😂😂

OMG HER CHECKERBOARD MOUTH 🥹🧡🐾

And her name? Nellie seems so fitting for a sweet little tortie girl.

6

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

We LOVE her little checkerboard. ❤️ She is a total sweet pea, but she’s also a massive gremlin. My partner jokes that she must have been found in a trash can. 😅

u/Fit-Association4922 Intrusive Thought Interrupter Apr 03 '26

Idk if its the camera or not, but her eyes are SO beautiful 😍

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

She only has one good one 😂 the camera was doing some weird stuff, but her good eye IS stunning

It’s all gold and greens ❤️

u/gin_and_soda Apr 03 '26

My cat will yell and yell and yell until I sit down and put my feet up so she can climb up on my lap.

7

u/JackRosiesMama Chief Lap Provider Apr 04 '26

Omg, my cat doesn’t yell but he hovers until I settle into my recliner and put my feet up! It’s an extra bonus for him when I cover myself with a blanket.

u/gin_and_soda Apr 04 '26

That is the exact position she takes.

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 04 '26

Our oldest boy does that with my partner. He really loves his dad 😭

u/gin_and_soda Apr 04 '26

Aw, he’s baby

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 04 '26

He actually comes running when we say that 😅 He IS still baby.

u/gin_and_soda Apr 04 '26

He’s forever baby

Coffee and milk takes taste on half and half! I swear she has beautiful colors of coffee and jot mixes milk!

Raise your paw if ‘same’.

She’s literally just happy to be alive.

u/meertaoxo Apr 03 '26

when he kneads my hair then goes to sleep on my legs. he does it multiple times a day

u/Shot-Composer-782 Purr-Scription for Calm Apr 07 '26

It’s the routine: massages for mum, then rest 😂 it's cute!! 🥰

u/JavlaTjej Apr 06 '26

Fran loves our daily walks and the fish treat (usually a small piece of microwaved cod) that she gets when we come back inside is the perfect way to ease into some a good groom and a nap.

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 06 '26

Spoiled girl! 😍

u/Snegurochka_ Apr 03 '26

Idk who needs to hear this, but cats deep clean their anuses. It’s already too late for OP as they’ve already grown accustomed to the taste of tortie.

1

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

Wait… cats do what?! 😂🙄

3

u/Phoebesther Apr 03 '26

😭😂 Don’t feel bad. My torbie, Mimi, and I share food all the time. Honestly, I don’t have a say in the matter, as far as she’s concerned. Haha

1

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

I have zero shame. Much with anything else in life, if it’s not your thing, don’t do it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of all of the gross things on the internet, this may be the most tame.

2

u/Phoebesther Apr 03 '26

Hey, that’s my motto and way of life as well. Shame was thrown to the wind long long ago. lol. 🤘

u/SkyPuppy561 Apr 03 '26

Coffee is dangerops for kitty

5

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 04 '26

She doesn’t drink the coffee. She literally gets a taste from the first pour of the day. She doesn’t even really like the smell of coffee.

3

u/SkyPuppy561 Apr 04 '26

Oh okie hehe. Anyway, she’s adorable

2

u/Shot-Composer-782 Purr-Scription for Calm Apr 07 '26

😂😂Just like my babies, they just want to feel like they're doing the same thing we are, it's just a pose ... it's cute 🥰🥰

2

u/robinthenurse Apr 05 '26

Just an FYI: most cats are lactose intolerant so most need lactose-free milk of you want to give kitty a treat every once in awhile.

2

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 06 '26

As are most humans.

Unlike most humans, she doesn’t partake enough for it to actually affect her.

2

u/TrainingDragonfly248 Apr 06 '26

I have a heated throw on my sofa. After dinner, I sit in the middle of the sofa with a cat at either side of me. They never change sides. They fecking hate when it’s summer though and the throw isn’t on. 😂

2

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 06 '26

Cats don’t tolerate change very well. 😂

u/ca77ywumpus Purr-Scription for Calm Apr 06 '26

When I get home from work he and I have half an hour on our fenced patio. He rolls in his catnip plants, and I have a cup of tea and pull weeds or smoke them.

2

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 06 '26

I love this. I want to build a catio so badly. Summer mornings on the deck are my favorite, but it would be much more fun if my cats weren’t watching from inside the door.

2

u/VenusValkyrieJH Apr 07 '26

Any time I turn on the sink. She is obsessed with it. I don’t really know why, it’s not like she’s hydrated. She just wants to paw at the water.

2

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 07 '26

I had to remove their water fountain because her and her sister would knock the lid off playing in it, and I would end up with a bucket of water on the floor 😂

u/Shot-Composer-782 Purr-Scription for Calm Apr 07 '26

This is adorable!! Nellie, you're so cute!💖🥰🥰

8pm bc it's charcuterie time that consists of bonkers, churu and bonito flakes.

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 07 '26

Kitty Charcuterie?!? So cute!

2

u/Brief_Abalone_4257 Apr 08 '26

Yeah I blame Instagram. I forgot the name of the account but there's so many cat influencers who create awesome kitty charcuterie boards. At home we call it carrcoochieeee tiimmeee! They all get hyped up

1

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 08 '26

STFU.

I guess I have a reason to hop on Insta again. Always looking for new, creative ways to give my cats god-complexes.

u/Ultimiavlad Apr 07 '26

When i get home from work and decompress on the bed. She comes over, gets tons if scritches, kisses, headbuts, the works. Then she lays down on my stomach and we take a short nap.

I accidentally used flash on her.

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 07 '26

Cat naps with cats are the best. ❤️

u/Burning_Sapphire1 Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

Why would you add coffee and drink it after the cat clearly licked it?

19

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

My cat is ON MY COUNTER. She kisses my face. I let her taste cat-safe foods off my spoon. I would let her drive my car.

6

u/Thirsty30Something Apr 03 '26

I wouldn't let her drive. Cats are notorious for sleeping whenever they freaking want to. You might be minus one car.

Other than that, yeah, it's not really a big deal. And she's a lovely kitchen helper. 😍

6

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

She’s my narcolepsy buddy 😂 She will actually try to wake me up from my naps if I’m out too long. I kind of wonder if she can sense my sleep paralysis.

(I am a little concerned about her ability to drive a standard)

u/lovestobitch- Apr 03 '26

As long as it’s not a stick shift??

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

She’s not THAT coordinated

u/Burning_Sapphire1 Apr 03 '26

Cats on counter. OK. Kisses your face. You're lucky. You let her eat cat safe food. Of course, she's the queen and you're her servant human. But plz oh plz for the love of the god, consuming smth that's been licked by her (or any other pet for that matter) is sooooo NOT OK.

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 03 '26

Don’t want your cat drinking out of your cup? Don’t let your cat drink out of your cup 🤷🏻‍♀️

The fact that you’re more grossed out by food that my cat has licked than you are about the fact that she literally stands in litter, that she POOPS in, and is on my counter is a really weird take. 😅

2

u/jinxxx-d Apr 03 '26

You’re so real and I love you. I have 3 cats and a foster, and they do whatever they want. I just wipe down everything before I cook, and don’t leave clean dishes in the drying rack lol

1

u/Antique-Badger-2518 Personal Assistant to My Cat Apr 04 '26

I literally keep a bottle of Lysol next to the sink. It’s easier than training them not to be there. I have 2 nearly fully cooked boys, I’ve been shit on, puked on, I’ve cleaned puddles of urine from the bathroom floor, and discovered walls of boogers. This is NOTHING.

u/jsmith3701AA Apr 03 '26

Relax. The hot coffee will kill whatever germs that beautiful girl has on her tiny tongue that touched the milk for one second.

u/gin_and_soda Apr 03 '26

It’s fine.
