He loves being with his family and could use any of the many other vents in our big house. He is spoiled rotten but we love him.
I just have to say, what a beautiful cat you have (and big!). My last cat was 14 lbs - Russian blue mix, so far as anyone could tell - but your guy is awesome!

Our make sun conure is the smartest of all of our pets. He loves to great you with a loud "hello" and "are you all right?" And you must answer or he will keep saying it. This is very cute....but very annoying when he is saying it to our dog, who just looks at him....whereas he will keep saying it unless I answer back for the pup, or the wild animals outside who of course, don't speak English

I think it's cute AND annoying when my one cat wants attention and he has picked up the habit in the last year of walking over, staring at you and when you ignore him, just starts tapping you. He'll tap you on the hand, on the arm, on the leg---doesn't matter, he'll keep doing it over and over because he wants to be pet.

Then if you pet him but it's still not enough, he'll just throw his entire head into your head. BOOM. Hand. On. Head. Now. Then of course like all cats, eventually your petting is deemed enough and he gets annoyed if you overdo it or even touch the wrong spot according to him.

When my cat does that its food he wants.
I wish i could train him to throw up his hairballs in his kitty litter area instead of where i'm sure to walk.

I've only had my cat for about a year and until recently the only sound that got his attention was the electric can opener. Now he knows the buzzing sound that the microwave makes when it's finished means food. I had one of those Banquet turkey and gravy dinners in there and was sitting in the living room and he was sleeping on a chair across from me when the microwave buzzed. He quickly sat up and stared towards the kitchen. I was pretending to be watching tv but watched him thru the corner of my eye. He would keep looking at me and then the kitchen and then he hopped down and walked over to my feet and looked up at me " that's our song." I had my chuckle and went into the kitchen and he followed. I washed his turkey slice under cold water so he wouldn't burn his mouth and as he was eating it he kept his eyes on mine.

My blue & gold macaw loves to watch animated movies and kid's movies. She memorizes them after watching only a few times. Then she talks, shouts, and laughs along with the dialogue.

Her favorites are movies with lots of noise, like kids yelling and dogs barking. Whenever she sees a dog on the screen she yells, "Get back!!" She seems to think all dogs are named "Get Back!!" because that is what she calls my dogs too.

Her current favorite movie is Inside Out. She has her own collection of around 30 movies that she loves.

She also loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, Despicable Me and Cat in the Hat. Over the Hedge was such a favorite that we played it every day for weeks before she got tired of it.

I mounted a tv near cage and always put on a movie for her when I leave for work in the morning.

I've had my bird for 22 years and she is at least 40 years old.
