Oh that she is. Back in the day, when she wanted a door opened she would meow for her brother to come open it, which never failed.

That's not a backpack, it's basically a foldable bag with zippers on all edges, wheels and an expandable rod so it can easily be pulled like a suitecase. It is her second home when we're sleeping somewhere else. In my apartment though she is rarely in it, but definitely doesn't hate it.

Thank you! I'll give her some belly rubs from you :)

On reddit my cats were well liked, too (r/KodaAndTheKitties, cleared out now). In my old apartment I dad a bunch more cat trees and such. E.g. a neighbour was floor layer and he gave me cardbox rolls up to 4m long. I made two of them black using duct tape, put some of the black Sisal around them (not fully though) and hung them as little walkways in my corridor plus had custom built some cat furniture (boxes with doors in front for food below and as cozy places above):

Thanks. How come you're so often the first to comment on her posts? What time is it where you live? It's about 4 in the morning here. Couldn't sleep, so might as well vent here. Hope the post was a bit entertaining nonetheless.

They ended up fighting all the time. Seems like this can happen a lot at the age of 7/8, as females become calmer but males stay active. She was annoyed by him. Didn’t help that she became asthmatic, so she couldn’t keep up in play fights at all (also because he’s larger then her). Miez was stressed out all the time. I took in Lilly as a playmate for him, but then the both of them still stressed out Miez. Luckily I found a new home for Koda and Lilly with a friend’s family. I know they are in good hands there and I visit them from time to time, as well as sit them during my mate’s vacation (Miez then stays with my parents as she gets along with my mother’s cat Franka). Check out my other posts for more pictures of all of them.

P.S. I see the downvote bot is still active around here.

In bavaria they made exactly this. You have a “Vorzugsgebiet” (loosely translated area of favourited power accumulation) for either wind or solar. Some people then had the outrageous idea of setting up a wind turbine in the middle of a solar park. Guess what happened? It wasn’t approved because it was only allowed to build a solar park there. You can’t make this stuff up. That’s German bureaucracy for you.

Ok kinda off topic but you don't need expensive toys. Just watch what your cat enjoys doing the most. For mine, it's jumping (herself or the toy) and feathers.

Yeah I’m an SW engineer and my job is 30% coding max. Equal part is requirements engineering (so translate sys reqs to sw reqs, ensure traceability and such), static code analysis and dev tests plus 10% change management. The last part is the most interesting part as this includes analysis of feasabilty, risk and impact assessment as well as proposing/reviewing sys reqs for new or existing features. Glad I’m not a sys dev though as they don’t get to code at all.
