A catio, as someone pointed out, helps a lot. It is difficult sure, I don't disagree with that. I just didn't agree with impossible. And yeah I think a catio is a great idea. Or even a porch if it's closed in. There just tends to be this idea that outdoor cats can never be turned into an indoor cat and people tend to just be like "It's too hard" instead of doing the work of getting the cat used to being indoors. Bakeneko posted:I’ve never found it difficult to keep fleas off of my cats. Just give them a dose of Frontline every month and forget about it. Fleas were such a huge problem for a while for me, even with my cat being indoors. Since living in places with hardwood or tile I have not had any issues.

A catio, as someone pointed out, helps a lot.  I have a cat that's 100% indoors, and would never have an outdoor cat unless I lived in the middle of absolute nowhere in an area that somehow lacked both immediate neighbors and dangerous wildlife. However I've also seen attentive and loving owners adopt outdoor cats and try to transition them to indoor only, and years into it every time they open a door leading outside the cat bolts out from wherever they are and tries to go out. Again the older the cat is the more difficult-bordering-on-impossible it is to get them to change their lifestyles substantially.

don longjohns posted:My cat used to be an indoor/outdoor cat until I caught her crossing a busy-rear end road to visit some loving cows and kill lizards. Then a week later my friend's indoor/outdoor cat, 1 year old, got hit and killed by a car. I made my cat indoor only and never looked back. I built her a catio and she loves it. Never tries to make a break for it and seems really happy. She's about 11 now and still healthy and perky as a kitten. My other cat has more trouble staying indoors than her and he has never been indoor/outdoor. Yeah cats are stupid and will ask or try to go outdoors because it looks interesting. You don't have to accommodate them. Play with them inside so they get exercise and stimulation. If they escape, try to get them back in. They're a net negative on the outdoors and a destructive invasive species across a lot of the world. Some places have killed off all the large native predators, but that still doesn't stop cats from getting into conflict with things their size, dogs, humans, cars, getting diseases and parasites, etc. It's like people complaining about motorcycle helmet or seat belt laws. Sure, statistically there's someone out there who's happy and safe while doing it. It doesn't not make it risky behavior.

It’s not an indoor/outdoor cat debate. The originating post was someone who admitted they do not have pets and was asking why you didn’t just turn an outdoor cat into an indoor cat all of a sudden. Talking about the ecological effects of outdoor cats contributes nothing to the actual discussion. Going “I gave my outdoor cat a catio and now she’s happy indoors” helped a lot.

I'm agreeing with someone and digressing into related thoughts, not rebutting anyone's opinion. You're allowed to do that in a discussion thread. And I'd rather talk about cats than loving disgusting bedbug youtube videos.

We've got a catio now. Generally we used to allow our cats out (and we still have one who's very much an outside cat and that can't really change, she'd whine way too much about it), but yeah...we thought that an enclosed area might be a better idea in the end. Few too many scares over the years.

I remember my mother trying a few times to keep the cats inside when I was a kid, but it never stuck. They got so stressed and miserable. I’ve always let mine go wherever they like, but then again I don’t live near a busy road or any other major threats. If I did I’d have adopted an older one that had already grown out of its wanderlust.

I think a lot of it comes down to individual cats. Both of our cats are indoor kitties and one of them loves to explore and wants to go outside and climb on things and try to sneak up on the birds so I've got her harness trained and take her out with me frequently on a long-ish leash so she can feel independent and go most anywhere she wants. Our other cat hates the outside more than anything and when the door is even open to bring in groceries or whatever he will sit near it just staring hatefully at the outside world trying to intrude on his space until one of us closes it.

I absolutely love that I can’t do anything about the three outdoor cats in my neighborhood who frequently tear up my garden and use it as their giant litter box. And yes, I’m past the fertilization jokes stage.

For a while Youtube has been pushing me Phil Edward's youtube page, one of the video editors for Vox. Rather than pieces about news items or explainers, you mostly get things like Oreo Vs Hydrox, videos about the shapes of things and other assorted things. Think of it as what if Great Big Story (The youtube channel) met Tedium (The editorial website \ magazine). The video that got me to post about here? A video on the Peeing Calvin.

Dongicus posted:why tho lol The well of Debunk watchers has not yet run dry. Also that Bedbug video activated some repressed memories of when I fought the little fuckers in my home. For months after every itchy or crawling sensation on my skin gave me a mini-panic attack that they'd somehow returned. Nasty things.

Sorry in advance for bringing everybody down, but this was a pretty rough watch. I've been a fan of Dianna "Physics Girl" Cowern for a while, and just recently found out about her massive health problems stemming from long COVID: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vydgkCCXbTA The fact that goofball-robot-builder Youtuber Simone Giertz, herself a brain cancer survivor, is doing this just hit me all the harder.

New Chrotendo Episode! Another hour of "Oh God he's still in 1990?!" Production levels have improved and now the starting animation is in 60fps, but looks like future episodes might be slower bc of worsening health conditions.

Which, to me, came off as kind of unfocused. Like it was a lot of effort to reinforce a point he already made.

RareAcumen posted:Hell yeah, trick kids into making retail employees' job easier for them. They deserve it with all the psychopaths spitting at them during the initial COVID outbreak. The thing is it won't make the job easier. Either the people doing this are going to do it wrong, just presented nicely, which the person is going to have to fix. Or people are going to intentionally gently caress up displays for a picture to send to Mr Beast, and now the retail worker has to clean it up. I worked at a grocery store for quite a while and occasionally some customer would come in and try to help by fixing the displays or whatever and more often than not they did it wrong and quite frankly I didn't feel grateful that they were trying to help. I felt like "wow you're a moron for wanting to do this for free"
