My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it’s raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like “Daaad, it’s raining” and starting the cycle again.

My cat gets his claws stuck in things.
No, they’re not overgrown. Hes able to fully retract them out of the way. He just. Doesn’t.
Not once, ever, have I seen him relax his leg and calmly lift the paw off to unstick the claws. Instead he only ever pulls harder and more violently, which makes retraction impossible due to how the force pulls on the claws. He will struggle more and more fervently until whatever thread, carpet or rope he is stuck in, is the thing that gives.
If he’s really stuck, I sometimes help him by pulling on the stuck limb to give the claws enough slack to come unstuck. This has not led him get the hint.
Is he orange?
He sure is
I also have an orange cat that does this, though not to such an extent. What is the connection?
It is said that all orange cats share one brain cell… however mine is black and the same thing goes on. I have to manually remove her claw from whatever it is in. I think it is some ancient instinct that is related to cutting flesh…
as a non-cat person, lmao at this Q&A
