Oof. Much feels.

Also, old cats yaoll like a mfer and develop incontinence. Give them the best last days you can, but when its time to let them go, let them go.

Yelling into empty spaces isn't exclusive to old cats. I know of at least two who do it just to hear themselves yell.

It's not even exclusive to cats. Some days, you just gotta sound your barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world, y'know?

My cat loves empty rooms for standing in and yowling. Good acoustics for singing I guess lol

The songs of my ancestors

I don't know why mine used to, but then I separated and he yowls a lot less now. It's really kind of weird. I think it has to do with knowing where I am

I know a few politicians who do that too.
