  • Yeah, she wanted food (way too early). I didn’t respond to her screaming, so she thought: maybe I will get his attention when I lay down right in front of his mouse and keyboard, as that dumb hooman only has his attention there.

    “So you see me now, hooman? I REQUIRE FOOD! OBEY ME SLAVE!”…

    “Pleeeeeaaase? Look at how sweat I am” (puss in boots eyes and purring)

    “NOOOOOOW”

    “I’m not angry, I’m just deeply disappointed.”

    And this in loops, while constantly pushing her ass in my face and pressing completely newly discovered key combination shortcuts even computer scientists never heard of. (unable to undo)





  • All Christians care about is voting for Israel, even when they don’t watch eurovision. That’s how Israel got so many votes last year while everyone was booing so hard (even through the anti boo filters they used). There were tutorials on how and when you should vote to support Israel for Israeli and Christians. And many Christians are anti LGBTQ+ so they support this ban. Even though eurovision is as gay as you can get it.

    I just gave them some of mine. Since I’m a vegan, I need a replacement for regular milk. Only soy milk is a real substitute as it’s the only plant based milk with protein, all the others are basically tasty water nutrician wise, plus whatever vitamins they added. For my cats, I think it’s better to just buy something made for cats instead.

    Multiple vets and the university animal hospital adviced against wet food, so I’m going to follow their advice. But I will sure ask them again knowing this information. Thanks!

    Thank you! I appreciate the research, awesome!

    The only digestive problem there is, is the damn smell. I have 3 chemical warfare kitties.

    But I’m going to keep it to a minimum, maybe switch it over to regular cat treats. Although they eat junk from everywhere. Walking trash cans they are. Vacuum cleaners. I can’t have trash inside my house and when they go outside they often return with scavenged waste from a neighbor. I do my best feeding them healthy food, but they are smart kitties willijg to do anything to get their paws on junk.

    I only feed them kibble. Adviced by the vet, not because of bird flu but because of wet food being bad for their teeth. They had wet food while growing up, since they were castrated at 6 months the only food they get is adult dental kibble (Hills brand). I gave then Royal Canin before, but I heard (unconfirmed) they add sugar, so I switched precautionary.

    until this bird flu shit is done with.

    I’m scared we’re only in the pre phase of a massive pandemic. Let’s hope it won’t go that far, but with the current world tension status and clowns rising to power, I’m scared the shit is about to hit the fan like it’s 1939 with a massive pandemic combined.

    Yeah, sugar is a big no no for cats. I’m making sure they won’t get any. Same with salt.

    I follow the advice of the vet, but the vet said they didn’t know for certain. I’d rather have a specialist day they don’t know something than make something up. So that’s why I ask the internet. I prefer the vet’s advice over random internet people but I got replies backed by sources so I’m happy.

    Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it :)

    Wow, this is exactly the answer I was hoping for, thank you.

    I had vegan friends who fed their cat vegan food. I’m a vegan too, but humans are omnivores, cats are carnivores. Feeding cats vegan food is bad in my opinion, I see it as animal abuse. It comes with a lot of health risks which are similar to what I read in the articles you posted. It all makes sense.

    From now on, they will get a little bit of unsweetened soy milk once in a while, not every day. (I have to find a middle ground, otherwise they will kick me out)

    Thanks! I really appreciate it :)



  • Nah, my shoes are safe (except the laces). Their revenge consists of throwing stuff from tables etc. and hide small things under the rug. I have a lego Saturn V. It was thrown onto the ground, now I sometimes fins pieces under the rug in the living room. There’s dedication, the Lego set is upstairs in a spare room. But they also target spare keys from friends houses, my toothbrush once, pieces from a plate they threw off my kitchen counter and once they even stole my phone when I fell asleep on the couch, again neatly put under the living room rug.




  • My old cat used to eat only what she needed throughout the day. Only dry food.

    My new kitties are trash cans. Everything eatable goes in. I feed them twice a day, dry food, only the recommended amount as stated on the food package and as recommended by the vet.

    The vet said it’s easier to keep them at a decent weight then to have to put them on a diet.

    When your cat eats whenever she wants food, I think you should be fine with feeding her once a day. But make sure you only feed her enough for her weight and age. The website of the food brand should list a recommended amount, otherwise ask your vet.

    When she’s an adult (1 year and older or 6 months and older when castrated) it’s recommended to feed her adult food, only dry food, it’s better for their teeth.

    Never feed your cat milk, cats are lactose intolerant.

    When she throws up on a daily basis, go to a vet. This isn’t normal, she might be ill. Make sure you have cat grass for her, they need grass to help throw up, when they have a hairball for instance. Always make sure she has fresh water access.

    Make sure your cat won’t become obese. Animal obesity is animal abuse. Next to them having a terrible life, they will get sick much faster and their life much shorter, which is not only sad, also expensive.
