    I just moved and my cat really really wanted to smell the tape measure. I don’t know why, but it’s always like a minute long process along the length I happen to have out. I wouldn’t dare deny her, especially when she is so thorough.

    My ex once stood in the kitchen for over an hour, with the cat on the counter, opening up every spice in the cabinet for the cat to smell.

    “What are you doing?”

    “Letting Max smell the spices”

    All of them.

    my cat is sad.

    no one else in his family is a cat

    we are all human except for him

    he is excluded from most things

    and no one tells him why

    he just wants to play

    and be loved

    he looks at us with wonder

    and disappointment

    he says hello i am a cat what is my existence

    what is that / why it and not me / please can you look at me and love me too

    can i have some of your food please im sorry i dont like my food so much

    do you want to play with my toys? this one is my favourite

    do you like me

    are we brothers

    why didnt i grow up

    why am i so small

    can you help me be happy

    where are you going

    –Spencer Madsen

    Yes, and my dog too. She always sniffs it very seriously, especially if it’s a package that has been delivered. It’s a big deal to them.

    I used to do walk abouts in the pantry with my calico in my arm, opening up stuff, and she sniffing it and giving her opinions on it lol, she wanted to sniff everything, god bless her little soul.

      Oh, that’s adorable! I did the same with mine but she quickly decided that they all stank and wanted none of it. She’s still suspicious to this day when I give her something to smell. 😅

    I always let my dog sniff my coffee or beer or whatever I have, she always has a funny over the top reaction
