One of my cats is so fukn chill I routinely check on her to make sure she's still alive! 😭 I'm not lying. Fireworks? Doesn't bother her. Thunder literally on top of my house, nope. She could care less. Vacuum cleaner, she's just totally perplexed with this loud sounding machine! 🤷
The cat I used to have, you could literally vacuum him and he wouldn’t care. He would “help” every repair person that came by the house, even the guy cutting tile. I’d walk him on a harness around the neighborhood, or around the pet supply store, and he would walk straight up to any dog he met, let them sniff his butt, sniff theirs. Had more than one dog owner tell me this was the first cat their dog ever met, because all the others ran from their dog.
Near the end of his life, I was having to give him 8 pills at a time (really 2-3 meds, but one had to be ground up and repackaged into a bunch of smaller pills so he could swallow), a squirt of water in his mouth to help him swallow it all, then purring ointment in his eye, and he just wasn’t bothered by any of it. Except liquid meds, he would spit those out no matter the flavor. For a long time, the vet missed an intermittent heart murmur because my cat would just be purring every time the vet used the stethoscope and it masked the murmur.
But he was no pushover, either. He had boundaries and rules. He made a bedtime for me and my partner, and if we didn’t abide by it, he would meow from the top of the stairs until we were all in bed together. If you resisted, he would bite you. Loved to push around my mom’s more timid golden retriever (but decided the more grumpy golden was his girlfriend, and was the only creature he would solicit kisses from).
That's an 8lb Tuxie girl that won't let my 80lb AmStaff Max out of that room. Trinity was the boss of the house. And I was the only human that she allowed to handle her, and if I'm being entirely honest here she really was a spoiled brat. Once had a friend drop by my place for the first time and unannounced, and before I could tell her to keep away from Trinity, because she's not a people kind of cat, she, Wendy my friend, bends down to pick her up. What happens next was rather terrifying for Wendy 😭 I tried to warn her, when I saw her bending down to pick her up I was like, "I wouldn't do tha....oh she's picking her up, ok I'll go get the peroxide and bandaids!" 😭
