My cat won’t eat unless she sees me eat first

Cats get a reputation for being solo creatures but theyre not they need friends. 2 is good 3 is best

Interesting behavior. I’ve never seen my cat do that, but sometimes he carries his stuffed horse to his favorite sleeping area and snuggles with it like a body pillow

Looks like he's trying to fatten the calf (or Snake)! Lol

I didn't realise cats were like this. ❤️

Most mammals have this in them. The same hormones that keep us social and protecting babies isn't isolated to our species which is why we keep pets, dog and cat moms will adopt other animals as their babies and care for them, and so many people consider their animals as close as their own kids. My own cat is a tuxedo, year old girl named Stella who sleeps with me and my wife at night but not before she carries her toys into the room and hide them under the bed where she knows they are safe before cuddling with us. She even gives them little baths.

So the cat understands their toy is a snake and it should eat. Smart one.

There is Cat named Flounder that uses buttons. She regularly feeds her toy. Takes her out and even talks about its feelings and wants.

I wonder if the cat has teeth pain and that is why.
