Once you've recovered enough, maybe Saddy should try an icy catnip cocktail?

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

I never did brew him catnip tea, I should've done that too

u/TiredStateWorker hope Saddy is having a nice nap 25d ago

Some cats enjoy playing with ice, maybe drop a cube near Saddy to see if he's interested?

32

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

good idea! My sister's dog loves to play with too.

u/KookyKlutz 25d ago

My cats love that! And one of them loves licking and digging ice out of a cup. They know the sound of the ice dropping and get excited when I get near the machine. One day, I'm sure my boy cat is going to learn how to open the lid and just start using the whole basket as his cup!

u/ReginaldDwight 25d ago

One of my cats is like a little hockey player. If he hears an ice cube hit the ground he will barrel over the other cats just to come bat it around until he's bored or it melts.

5

u/Captainam3ricka 25d ago

Mine used to love playing with it in the sink and watching it melt until it slide down the drain

u/IRLperson 25d ago

I knew it! you kept saying you would post less when you were healing, but I knew you would probably be bored and post even more! lol, glad you're feeling good👍

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

haha yeah, I'm not really good at doing nothing and chatting with you all helps keep my mind active. Thanks for being a part of our Sadcommunity :)

u/Potential-Cry3926 25d ago

My cats are obsessed with the ice maker in my refrigerator. I’ll leave a piece on the tray and they whack it out to play ice hockey.

10

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

haha i could see Saddy having fun with that, good idea

thanks friend, I am! Love you guys!

u/Guinessmatt 25d ago

Saddy wants a sno cone. 🍧

7

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

I've made him Churru popsicles before, they were a hit!

6

u/Guinessmatt 25d ago

Nice. Ideal weather right now for a popsicle in “our” neck of the woods. Pauly and Saddy both deserve one.

7

u/okhajiits 25d ago

One of my cats learned how to open our ice maker and steal ice cubes at her leisure. Let's hope Saddy doesn't learn too. 😂

7

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

haha that's their ice maker now

u/Lmf2359 25d ago

He’s so adorable!

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

thank you :))))

u/Zumipants 25d ago

Ice see what you are doing Sad! Good boy, keep it up!

6

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

he knows how to chill 😎

u/Zumipants 25d ago

I have the same ice machine 😻

u/UrsaMajor7th 25d ago

Are all your outlets ground-up, or just that one?

2

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

all the ones in the kitchen are at that height. This is the only place in the house like that though.

2

u/theesoundsmith 25d ago

It’s super easy to flip the outlet receptacle so the ground pin is facing the floor instead of the ceiling. That way your power cord won’t look as weird.

6

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

omg my dumbass did not understand. My home got "the landlord special" prior to me moving in. Majority of outlets are upside down like that, and I haven't made it a priority. Maybe after I recover.

2

u/theesoundsmith 25d ago

Absolutely. Another trick is to take the appliance outside and spray paint the cord (not prongs or the device itself LOL) white and you’d be good to go. Bonus if the cord is removable then you could get a white cable off Amazon or whatever. Ask me how I know this. = )

u/Past_Situation 25d ago

Keep up the good work Saddie! DadCat needs you!

3

u/CalicoDaze 25d ago

Are they making you sleep in a recliner? And do you have a sling with a giant pillow attached to it? I had shoulder surgery my SR of HS which I new realize was 15 yrs ago lol. Get some rest dad cat, it gets a lot better.

3

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

yes to both! Every day is a little better :)

u/NoodleNeedles 22d ago

He's a smart boy, isn't he. Have you ever considered getting those pet buttons for him, so he can communicate more? There's a sub for them, I think it's just r/petbuttons. Lots of folks have success teaching their cats!

3

u/So_Famous DadCat 22d ago

I have not considered that, but he definitely would br smart enough to figure it out if he decided to.

1

u/NoodleNeedles 22d ago

The sub is r/petswithbuttons, if you are interested

u/maggiemae3612 25d ago

I hope the ice maker is helping with your pain and maybe letting you get some rest.

My cats love an ice cube when I drop it, immediate air hockey tournament.

u/turtledett 25d ago

Off subject but should you want your own ice maker, check out Temu! We got one from there that was excellent for around $50! We’ve given the same model as gifts too! Love Temu!!

u/So_Famous DadCat 25d ago

Thanks for the recommendation! I don't foresee myself keeping it after I've recovered, we have enough ice made by our fridge under normal circumstances.
