So, I took my cat for a professional photoshoot which we had to cut short because he fell *face first* into the pond.
The pictures came back and they are better than I could have imagined.

Youโve got a narrow window to give him something fun to do before he decides his crime. Once he has decided weโve progressed to โBasil, noโ
Risk prevention is over, risk mitigation is your only option now.
Telltale signs are elongated neck and quick head movement.

Youโre doing errands around the house when suddenly you encounter his next notable sitโฆ
Heโs awake and bored and itโs your job to fix that. He sits directly in your line of sight making direct eye contact, waiting for you to be interesting.

If we play our cards right heโll start to wind down. Heโs still engaged, but his posture is more relaxed and his expression has changed from crime to content.
Heโs up for adventure but is no longer burdened by his demons.

Other important sits - patiently waiting to go out for his walk.
The last photo makes me laugh because there was a stray outside and I went to move it, so he thought Iโd forgotten him and was very concerned because he was being good and I went outside without him.

Weโve entered the sleepy sit. Brain and body are satisfied.
If weโre out adventuring heโll sit on my foot to let me know heโs done.

The last, final sit is very rare.
Depression sit.
Weโd just come back from vacation and he knows he will start a ruckus with the elder cats if he sleeps in the bedroom, but wanted to spend more time with me.
So he sat himself in the tub until I slept on the couch with him.

Yes! I hike with my cat and offleash dogs are *the worst.* I carry bear spray now and if I have to mace your dog I deeply, deeply resent you. I donโt want to do that, but my cat comes first.
Donโt make me mace your dog, please.

Popular cat account stole Basilโs video, didnโt credit, and it has 16k+ likes, so Iโm reposting is the full version.
They edited out the best part where he makes a CHOICE and goes back for more.

I always hold him when I see a dog. Doesnโt stop the dog from jumping us.

Leash your dog in on-leash areas.

@memesiwish
Also if you leash train your cat donโt let them harass wildlife. We were young and dumb and I didnโt think he would jump.
It could have ended poorly so please learn from my mistakes and just assume your cat will do the dumb thing.
Happy catwalking โ๏ธ

@celaV
I think theyโre much higher energy than most other cats, which is why they end up with behavioral problems or getting rehomed so often.
Basil can be more work than our dog, and heโs bonded to me so I donโt get to take sick days.
11/10 would die for him though

Didnโt get fired, but two weeks of wage loss was enough to set me back significantly.
Took me a while to get back on my feet. Couldnโt imagine what would have happened if I had to pay for medical services and am very thankful for Canadian healthcare.

Same here. Got sent home from night shift, went to the ER the next morning. Called in from the ER and was told Iโd get fired if I missed any more work and asked if Iโd make my lunch shift.
Diagnosis? H1N1 & pneumonia. Had a two-week unpaid home quarantine while I recovered.

Okay further clarification and then Iโm muting this:
We stick to daylight hours and on-leash trails.
Iโve never used it and I never want to.
Iโm not spraying random off-leash dogs, itโs there in case of emergency - when weโre being attacked on a trail and the owner is gone

I also have a nervous pup who is very anxious around strange dogs. One bad interaction could set her training back months.

Whiskers do some work in actual startle face too - if you look closer you can see they drop quite a bit vs. resting startle face.
