Not joking but you should make them fast on lower calorie meals for a few days every two weeks. Prolongs their lives.

I was in the hospital for 4 days. My girl broke into the basement to hunt, and the boy moped around I guess. He had more fat reserves, and he's generally useless. Might've eaten some bugs. That was four months ago, and everything's still weird around here cause their scent changed after the basement, and they forgot each other or something.

I want to know more. How was it before?
The girl had little patience for the boy, but there was some there. After getting the girl out of the basement, the boy wouldn't let her out from under the couch to eat. I finally got pissed at him, yelled, and threw boots. He then went into hiding under the couch, and the girl wouldn't let him out. That's stabilized into a cold war where they generally coexist, but the girl's patience has gone to zero, and the boy sometimes hisses for no apparent reason.

I've noticed that in some male cats. I think they are deranged. I saw one slightly larger kitten that would hiss and mumble something in cat speak when he didn't want a certain cat near him.

Cats are just weird. People who keep big cats as pets are insane. Cats are great, but I'd estimate the ones that are fully trustworthy at 50%, and it takes time to find out which you have. It's manageable when you're exponentially bigger than they are. Even up the sizes, and all bets are off. Blackie, the cat outside has been unfriendly from the start. He was Spot's street buddy. He isn't hostile, but he wants nothing to do with humans. I'll sometimes talk to him, and he steps away, and mutters under his breath. No idea what he's saying :^D

Agree 100%

Maine my excellent compatriot cats are harmless I think and also the Norwegian Forest cat.

^^^ something suspicious going on. I edited the above post and it said something about cats being good compatriots.

WITAF????

I think Win10 is spying on me due to some recent update.

Maybe for the slur "c00n"? That's pretty arbitrary and esoteric. If you're doing word substitutions, I'd think that was pretty far down the list.

Ah, the Scunthorpe problem strikes again!

(Though, ironically, the auto-censor here doesn't mind the word Scunthorpe, just don't make any references to UK slang for cigarettes)


Also that particular variety of cat can cause harm - one once chewed through the cable of my new headphones.

You can't say mugger with a "b" either, which seems weirdly specific, since you can say fuck and assfuck.
It comes out as ah heck.

Out of context this could either be about cats, or young kids. :tearsofjoy:

I've seen videos of people who have a black panther, it's funny how it's basically like a black cat, just bigger. Same chill energy. But yeah cats can be so unpredictable and moody sometimes lol.

My orange cat decided out of nowhere to viciously attack my black cat once. I had to separate them. Then next day they're both cuddling together.
