That’s a nice shot, and a beautiful kitty.

More tail than cat. Adorable.

Trigger warning, please. Many of us survived the internet’s tragic Compression Artifact Wars. I know that some pockets of less fortunate areas still fight on, but we should not help spread their ignorance or nostalgic afflictions. Let us destroy this scourge once and for all. Modern and lossless formats for all!

Oh no. What kind of outrageous scandal forced you to “resign and spend more time with family”? Wait, it’s just cats, it actually sounds nice.

My cat loves string, more than any other play thing. But I had to stop it when I found him with a, um… piece hanging out his butt. (And he actually chewed that one off at both ends, from a “fishing rod” toy.) Careful out there, friends of cats.

Oh, so that’s what ACAB means. ^/s

I love cats. Always trying to be so cool, but then they get comfy and let their guard down and boom, this face. A+

Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They’re everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it’s protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)

My (big ol’) cat used to somehow get all the way on top of an SUV and bite/bump the little stubby antenna. Easy to miss the damage! Bet there’s a bunch of cars out there with (delicious) chewed-up antennas. (They usually unscrew and are replaceable, at least.)

I don’t mean to give all credit to Tesla, for the success of BYD. But let’s not pretend that many Chinese companies haven’t earned the reputation for (or even specialized in) “quickly learning” and “producing similar work” from competitors. Tesla still entered the country enthusiastically (sold hard-fought knowledge for short term gain), and are already losing their grip. Best of luck to anyone creating affordable EVs.

I didn’t realize China had already copied Tesla’s product. Absolute lol at M*** for heavily manufacturing there (not just parts, but everything). Copy, paste, rename… BYD.
