    We need to get back to pet-shaming more. It’s funny, and they don’t understand, nor do they have the faculties to have their feelings hurt by it.

    So, you’re telling me the cat was napping? The things they’re famous for?

    Jk, I still like it.

      My cats would be yelling immediately, they hate car rides.

        Lol mine just about throws up when I take her 5 mins to the vet. Unfortunately for her, she has to do day-long road trips once or twice a year to visit family. But after she chills out, she’s quite an easy rider. Just very anxious at the beginning haha. I love her so much 😭

        That’s because whenever you put them in the car, they’re going to the cattery or the vet.

        They’re not like dogs where they might go to the park.

        Nothing good comes from car rides for cats.

        The difference is that you or I would be putting the cats in the car. This cat got in the vehicle, passed out, and woke up on a road trip.

    I would love having a cat I can just bring with me anywhere I could bring a dog. I miss cats

    Looks like kitty is along for the ride today, because I’m not taking a 2+ hour detour

      Yea, but what do you do? No litter box, no food and water … also, the guy has a cat meowing at him in his work van all day.

        Stop and buy supplies of course! Even most grocery stores carry disposable litter pans, or just a plastic bin, along with food. Even a paper bowl will work for water.

    135 kilometres.

    (Circa 2.3 times Saarland in north - south direction)

          Du hast von der Distanz her Recht, aber die Existenz or Erwähnung von mehr als einem Saarland macht mir Angst.

            Bei so einer Größe wäre irgendwann sogar die genetische, ähem, Homogenität der Saarländer in Gefahr. 😜

            I vote that all Germans should from now on refer to distances in terms of Saarland - but rather than use kilo- mega- etc, you just add extra "A"s. Actually, better idea, you should change the name of Germany itself to Saaaaaarland.

    Sounds like Dad should pay more attention to his environment, and to securing his work van …

        Also, have you met a cat? They basically roll a nat 20 on every goddamn stealth check when they want to.

      sounds like someone needs to understand I’m not going to inspect my car every god damned morning with a clipboard like some kind of an obsessed psychopath.

      • 5am - roll out of bed and 3S
      • 5:30 - make/eat breakfast
      • 5:45 - fill thermos with coffee
      • 5:55 - get in the truck and drive to the site
      • 7am - work

      my dad did the above for 40-ish years. I did it with him for about 10.

      never did we “pay attention to our environment”. know why? because we were too preoccupied with making sure we had all the shit we needed for the day. like water, food, and most importantly tools/materials.

      know what sucks? getting to a job site and realizing you forgot your one tool that’s required to work that day.

      know what doesn’t suck? bringing your cat to work by mistake. if anything, it might just be the highlight of your day because you have a truck-buddy that’s soft and fluffy and will not ask about moving a wall or bitching about how the pitch of your sewer outlet is too low.
