You Can’t Cook That — It’s His Best Friend

Your weekly dose of chaos, catitude, and care.

🐾 FUR THE LOLS 🐾

(Because living with a cat is already a full-time sitcom.)

It’s the internet, so here’s what you really came for:

#1 This Week in Cat Chaos

The only way Nugget agreed to ride in a car? With two emotional support potatoes in his carrier. Yes, actual potatoes.

Shared by That Good News Girl, this story follows Nugget — an 8-year-old senior cat who was abandoned, overlooked at the shelter, and then adopted during the pandemic by someone who saw past his age... and into his true starchy potential.

Once he discovered the potato cabinet at home, he never looked back. He napped with them, grumbled when someone dared to cook one, and wouldn’t go on road trips without bringing two with him. No teeth to chew them — just pure, undying love.

The internet fell in love too. Nugget’s story reminded everyone that senior cats can be quirky, lovable, and full of surprise joy. After he passed, his family adopted another adult cat in his honor — and they hope Nugget's potato legacy inspires others to open their homes to senior kitties who just need their own Cozy Cabinet.

(We’re not crying. You are.)

#2 Meme of the Week

Meet Evil Larry (aka Dexter).
He’s not plotting anything... he’s just disappointed in you. Deeply.
This cursed-yet-iconic photo of Dexter went so viral, the internet renamed him Evil Larry — and honestly, he hasn’t smiled since.

🖤 Seen over 230,000 times on Instagram and counting.

Don’t worry, we’d still let him judge us forever.

#3 Cat Cartoon of the Week

Words of affirmation? Cute.
But let’s be real — treats speak louder than love poems.

#4 Poll Meow-ment: Emotional Range? Oscar-Worthy.

😹 Feline Fact: Your Cat Has a Moodboard… and You’re On It

From zoomie chaos to regal glares, cats are emotional shapeshifters — and every mood swing is served with flair.

They’re not unpredictable.
They’re just booked and busy with whatever vibe they’re feeling today.

🐾 So this week we ask:
Which of these cat moods do you deal with daily?
Vote below — and if your cat cycles through all four before noon, just know: you’re not alone.

Make way — royalty has been spotted lounging on a floral throne.

#5 Cat of the Week: Reeses

Some cats just have that look — the one that says they’ve got dirt on everyone and aren’t afraid to use it. Reeses is giving mystery, elegance, and a side of judgment you didn’t ask for but clearly deserved.

📸 Spotted in the FTL group thanks to Geri MacMillan Lombardo. We don’t know who’s in charge over there, but we have a strong suspicion it’s Reeses.

Got a cat who walks like royalty and meows like they’ve lived nine dramatic lives? Share your highness in the group — we’re watching from the throne, snacks in hand, judging with love (and a little side-eye). 🐾👑

Chaos, you sent, chaos we cherish.

#6 Paw-spectives from Last Week

We asked: What’s your cat’s most dramatic habit?
And you did not disappoint. Theatrics, tableaus, and a whole lot of attitude. 🎭😼

👁️‍🗨️ Winner: “Staring like a horror movie extra.”
With over 63% of the votes, your cats made it clear: deadpan staring is the height of drama. Whether they’re perched on a counter or looming in a hallway at 3 AM — it’s giving full paranormal investigator energy.

The chills? Real.
The judgment? Unspoken.
The trauma? Ongoing.

🍽️ Other Oscar-worthy contenders:

  • 😾 “Hissing at nothing” — Probably a ghost. Or a misplaced sock.

  • 🎭 “Yowling like they’re in a telenovela” — Because why just meow when you can monologue?

  • 🧨 “Knocking things over with eye contact” — The feline version of a mic drop.

Moral of the story?
Your cat is the drama. And they want you to know it. Loudly. And with full eye contact.

Have a poll idea? Drop it in the Group! We’re always eavesdropping… just like your cat.
Thanks for voting — we love this unhinged little community. 🎬🐾

A tip for keeping your chaos machine healthy.

#7 Purr-fessional Care

🩺 Sneaky Itch? Check for Fleas and Allergies

Why it matters: Excessive scratching, grooming, or chewing can signal fleas or skin allergies — both of which can lead to infections if left unchecked.

What to watch for:

Bald patches or redness

Tiny black specks in fur (flea dirt)

Head shaking or ear scratching

Prevention & management tips:

Use vet-approved flea preventives monthly

Vacuum and wash bedding regularly

Keep your home dust- and smoke-free

Check food for common allergens like chicken or grains

🌟 Pro tip: Even indoor cats can get fleas — they hitch rides on humans, other pets, or open windows.

That’s all for this week’s tails, fur-iend!  

Thanks for reading — I hope I brought some smiles to your face! Stay pawsome, and I’ll catch you in the next issue!
