I just moved and just managed to finish the living room right before I knew I’d be sitting Koda (left on the cat tree) and Lilly (under the couch). I have to keep them separated from my cat, Koda’s sister Miez. As especially Lilly is a really active kitten I had to put up some challenges for them. The door handle is put vertical as Koda can open doors and I have to avoid him upsetting his sister.
Über die Feiertage hüte ich meine ehemaligen Katzen Koda und Lilly
Ich bin vor kurzem umgezogen und habs gerade noch geschafft fertig zu werden bevor Koda (links auf dem Kratzbaum) und Lilly (unter der Couch) zu mir gebracht wurden. Ich muss sie getrennt von meiner Miez (Kodas Schwester) halten, also wars mir wichtig gerade für die äußerst aktive Lilly für ausreichend Auslastung zu sorgen. Der Türgriff ist hochgestellt da Koda sie sonst öffnen und Miez ärgern würde.
At first they inspected the surroundings below. Lilly is clearly the driving factor of Koda’s curiosity. Before this he just kept to his crate/bed.
Zuerst haben sie die tiefer gelegene Umgebung begutachtet. Klarer Fall, Lilly regt Kodas Neugierde stark an. Vorher war er fast nur im Katzenkorb/-bett aufzufinden.
Their “sister” Pünktchen is not joining them here as she was just neutered and they didn’t want to give her away while she is still healing. Here she is in the cat tree I built for Koda and Lilly as a parting gift.
Ihre “Schwester” Pünktchen ist nicht dabei, da sie erst kastriert wurde und sie sie nicht hergeben wollten bevor alles verheilt ist. Hier ist sie im Kratzbaum, den ich fûr Koda und Lilly zum Abschied gebaut habe.
Koda was the first one up there but she soon joined him to be the first to inspect everything.
Koda war als erster oben aber Lilly ließ sich nicht lange bitten und wollte dann die erste sein die alles inspiziert.
Koda isn’t as good a jumper as Lilly is. He had an accident when he was young and now at the age of eleven his hip won’t work as well as it once did.
Koda kann nicht so gut wie Lilly hüpfen. Er hatte nen Unfall als er sehr jung war und nun im Alter von elf Jahren mag seine Hüfte nicht mehr so wie er es gerne hätte.
So he tried to come to her the other way around. However she quickly saw through his plan and herself came the other way round.
Daher entschied er sich anders rum zu ihr zu kommen. Das hat sie schnell durchschaut und ist selber zurück und zu ihm.
naughty koda
Oh yeah. Last time Koda and Miez saw each other, they had not seen each other for over a year. Miez was interested and sniffling, approaching him. What did the idiot do? BAMM slapped her right in the face.
Hes so mean😭
Does he get along with other cats?
Oh yeah. He has been a healer for Lilly. She was a really scared kitty when I added her to my family, even hurting herself due to a nervous issue. She would hiss at everyone and hide all the time. Guess she was very impressed by him nonchalantly walking past her. After a few weeks she began strolling after him and finally went to full cuddle mode, see the last pics in this album: https://imgur.com/gallery/WLP5OXS
Man, I wonder what makes him so bitter towards miez. Miez seems so sweet. Koda is so cute but definitely a hard ass
I don’t think he’s bitter towards Miez. Regularly he tested my limits as well and I had make it unmistakably clear that I don’t tolerate rule expandings. He just thinks he can get away with bad behaviour towards Miez as she is weaker than her. Lilly on the other hand doesn’t give a shit and just counter-attacks. To be frank, Koda is a real bitch. He just needs a lot of cuddles which is the only reason he behaves well from time to time.
Does koda play has hard as he fights?
My cat is really big and was a hunter when he was younger. He still destroys his toys regularly.
He either play-fights with Lilly (hard) or just basically lays down and lets you entertain him. He has always been an indoor cat, and his hunting skills are basically zero. He and Lilly are allowed in the garden but only Lilly catches mice from time to time.
Does koda like the laser pointer?
