I have never met any other cat named Thorin! My kitty is also named Thorin. My 8 yr old named him when we rescued him because we had just finished reading The Hobbit. Your Thorin is adorable!

Is your cat named after the Tolkien character or the shit-talking counterstrike guy?

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

LotR character.

He is my wife's cat from before we met. She got him in the summer of 2013 when he was about six months old. He had shorter than normal legs at the time so that's how he got his name. Then his legs grew to normal size lol

He can't keep getting away with it!

How successful is he usually?

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Once in a blue moon, he actually gets up there. He usually won't do it if you're looking. He'll reach up and scratch on the cabinets, at worst. Almost as if to show you how restrained he's being. He gets especially excited about tuna, though. To the point that we have to put him up if we're making tuna salad. He will fight you over a can of tuna fish.

We have one of those can openers that cuts the seam so there's no sharp edges. Because tuna is his favorite thing on earth, I'll let him clean out the can before I recycle it.

Hah, that's adorable! My parents cats are the same - usually pretty chill, might beg a little, but they. will. get. some tuna!
