Am I the only one who had Best Friend Cat???


Nah we had a cat who got hit by a car and broke his femur and we were told he would never climb or jump again. Dude wanted to cuddle with me at night so bad he would climb the wooden ladder on the bunk bed to do so. Cats are awesome

Edit: that cat also let me teach him sit and down and shake so...he may have been a very unique cat

My previous cat was my best bud. He'd follow me around the house, lay on me for naps all the time for hours, sleep on my bed.

My two newer cats are very good boys, and love cuddles and naps too, but they're not as dog like as my last cat.

Our latest zoo addition is a small black and white kitten my wife pulled from beneath her office floor. She had fallen down there and we couldn't reunite with Mom.

Which is how I ended up with a 3 week old kitten on top of a caring for a 11 week old puppy.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I'm picturing Trump a mostly flipping through his TV find something to wash to take his mind off his defeat and only finding a prime time special in honor of Joe Biden which he would have killed for.

Maybe Lil Wayne and Kodak Black can throw him a personal show since he's known for running counterprogramming to big events.

Cat chat: both the cats I've had have oddly been super affectionate and not assholes in the slightest. Mischievous, sure, but Trina's never even walked on my keyboard. She'll come bounding eagerly across the room at the slightest indication that it's playtime and even go for (lackadaisical) walks!



Definitely a plus to have a bundle of fuzz around during covid.

Hank (Kitten) and Detective Tubbs Lumpkins, MD are friends. Hank is kinda confused- we have 3 other cats, and 3 dogs. She bounces between the cat gang and the dog crew. She comes when called like a dog, nests like a cat. Wrestles Tubbs, who is a little tank, and often has to be reminded that he cannot pick up Hank and carry her. He tries to carry her by her scruff, but he is so much bigger, 20% of the time he accidentally has her head in his maw. I love them both. They both cuddle with me, and it's fantastic to nap with them.


Hank also lets me hold her paw while she sleeps.

I was able to see and hear it from my house...which is impressive since I don't live in Arlington anymore and I was unable to hear or see the Fourth of July fireworks.

In short, it was pretty awesome.

Our total is 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 finches (which one was mis-ID'd, and lays eggs once a month- none viable yet), 2 gerbils, a handful of fish, 4 Sugar Gliders, and a chipmunk who lives in the basement and steals from my daughter. I grew up with no pets, and having a houseful of love is great, and amazing for my mental health.

They are expensive, and time consuming.

E- not that it matters, but all except one is a rescue, because they rule.

There is a fine line between "engaged with politics and actively contributing to making things better" and "my fandom is being upset about politics." It is real easy, given all the media offerings, to end up in the latter and think you're in the former

so don't do that!!

Yeah it was a loving lot of fireworks. I didn't know there were going to be any today, and I live in Silver Spring just north of the Beltway. My spouse and I heard rumbling and were like... is that fireworks? We were able to just see the tops of them in the distance. We have never heard the 4th fireworks here even when paying attention, so that was a little wild.
