I got a picture of Starry, is blurry because she kept headbutting the camera.


That's right, she apparently liked last night so much she came to ME unprompted for pets. She's currently on my lap, purring up a storm.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

the only part i dont like about cats is cat farts. rare but utterly devastating. a pestilence. a putrid despair on the living room

baby has the worst god drat poops and/or farts. I'm not sure which it is, but it motivates me to eventually make enough to afford a separate apartment to crash in.

edit: currently watching the baby leap from one side of the living room to the other because ???? reasons.

my analogy is that dogs are like fossil fuel power plants: generally dirty and continuously emitting pollution into their environment, but it's a low-level pollutant and you can learn to live with it

whereas cats are like nuclear reactors: squeaky clean and generally emission-free except for the periodic creation of a small amount of extraordinarily noxious radioactive waste

Pud, Bonbon and Cookie have never farted. Their poops are noxious if unburied though.

also i prefer cleaning up the siloed, buried, and relatively small amount of cat poo poo over the ever increasing amount of dog emissions that get everywhere

Dogs do that to express their anal glands right? Good thing that almost never happens to cats/you have to get a vet to take care of it.

Don't worry, you frequently have to get the vet to finger the dog's rear end too

yeah dogs always need to have they anal glans expressed. that's not even a thing you need to go to the vet for, groomers do it as a service. dogs just walk around with full anal glands all the time, ready to blast

Milk's on them.


he’s definitely not happy, noticeably restless and not grazing on his food as much. guts are probably churning too much for comfort. he’s going to the vet tomorrow anyway so i’m waiting on a callback to ask for some assistance while we wait for the delayed meds. maybe some anti-nausea meds, some appetite stimulants. painkillers? idk what you give a cat with a leaky gut, really

Clapping Larry
anyone have a way for cats to brush themselves better?

long story short we have a skittish pair and they've stopped grooming each other (still pretty fastidious overall) and although Pearl is lovey, Pocket will NOT let us brush him. terrified of any gloves we've tried, absolutely will not abide the furminator etc

we used to have a lovely bottle brush style arch thing that pompeii was too big for and wasn't interested in, should I just find an updated cat tree or something with full body brush options?

Pocket looks like a shorthair so at least you won't have to worry about fur matting...

Have you tried this sort of thing?

Of course it's fully up to the cat to actually use them.

Starry is actually hanging out in the living room with me. I think I might have a cat guys. I'm so happy, even if she is stealing Alby's bed. He'll be fine though, he has his spot on the couch.

This is THE fort warms but they a bit expensive at the moment. You can also just get a standalone pad for cheaper and stuff it under the cushion of any existing beds you have, or just put a folded towell or blanket on top of it.
