#no one is allowed to have wired earbuds in the house because teddy specifically will snip those bad boys to pieces

For some reason, tumblr wont let me actually tag @pantone2955c, but their tags reminded me of a story:

A few years ago, I wasnt quick enough to stop my cat from chewing on the corner of my phone, and with all of these new advancement in stronger glass on smartphone screens, I was maybe a little too trusting that my cat was not strong enough to crack the glass. However, my cats essentially never stopped teething chewing on stuff, so their jaw muscles are strong as hell. Plus they're ragdolls, and one of the defining features of the breed is a broad jaw (along with blue eyes, long hair, and a tendency to go limp when picked up).

So my little man, Pippin, named after the lord of the rings character and also the apple varietal, was rubbing his face and then starts chewing on the corner of my phone case and then *CRACK*. He bit my phone and his teeth cracked the glass and cracks spider-webbed out from that corner. It cost about $200 to get the screen replaced because I have a samsung galaxy s8+ and replacing the screen means also replacing the battery.

Cats like the cheek rubbing because their cheeks are very sensitive and contain pheromone glands, so they like rubbing their scent on stuff and rubbing their cheeks specifically on people and things they love. But if you manage to get a cat that loves chewing on stuff, and if you begin to suspect there may be some undisclosed percentage of crocodile DNA in your so-called "100% cat," then dont let them chew on valuables.

And yes, I'm including a picture of the criminal, my little baby boy:

^^ that last picture is of Pippin (left) and his brother Teddy (right), and teddy ALSO has a habit of chewing on everything. All cables in this house have been replaced with cables covered in kevlar because of Teddy specifically.

cats love rubbing their faces up against the corners of laptop screens. they cant get enough of it
