I'm not a fan of cats.

Okay but then you have to name the next one Princtiple Skipple.

You know, I hate to admit this, but I knew full well that it was a raccoon in the road. I've been with my partner for over ten years now, and I can't remember the last time I lied.

But at some point around 10 my partner said "Hey, did your friend ever come by?", and I saw an opportunity and lied through my teeth about him possibly being the roadkill.

I've also been thinking of building my own cat trees because all the ones I've seen are really, really gaudy. Even in beige berber, they're still not my cup of tea.]

I love, love, LOVE that swirl on his side!

I never knew about the tabby swirl. I see it now, though.

You can see what I mean about attacking the shrubbery.

The surgeon said that he was snoring up the whole lab area in the back, which sounds about right.

He's never been a licker, but he likes to cuddle and press into you and get hugs, so he spent about 15 minutes just cuddling into my lap. He likes the ladies (but he's a dog so I can't blame him for being stupid) and every time one of the gals who worked there would walk by he would perk up.

He was pretty out of it, though. He's got a fentanyl patch on which I'm sure is making him feel pretty good.

Hipster doofus told me that it's a good thing that they leave animals for me but is there any way to dissuade this behavior. He watched me putting them in a trash bag the other day and I tried making big gagging faces every time I saw one but then I stopped because I felt bad because I thought of him killing a mole then thinking "Oh you know who would love this?" and I didn't want to embarrass him. I'll head outside now and snap some pics of Suzanne. She's big and brown and, honestly, just not cute like Chalmers is. Also she's super needy and follows me around meowing for attention non-stop. Plus she sleeps on my deck furniture all day.

Awesome I needed some more moles.

criscodisco posted:

I'm so sorry there's not lots of awesome pics in the thread. When can I expect Chalmers to start sleeping in bed like a normal person?

criscodisco posted:

All he does is sleep, though. Even when he's not sleeping, he's just sitting up and acting awake but not really. Is all this pretty normal? If I am up and moving around the house he follows me like a shadow and I can get him into a game of slap, but it seems like he just likes to hang out. If I didn't have pugs, I'd start to worry.

So far it's fancy feast cans (the slightly more expensive ones in the blue cans), and Purina dry food.

A few years ago you all made me realize that I was feeding my dogs borax until I switched to a better brand (I don't have the bag because I put it in a tub and just recognize the bag), but I swear it's Blue something. I swear I tried to google but I couldn't figure it out. The bag is orange and tan and blue.

Anyway, is the same true for cats? I just bought something cheap because his tastes in wet food have taught me that he's really picky.

I need to shut up my posts are getting longer and longer I can't shut up about him. Seriously, I'm becoming creepy. The other day I spent 20 minutes talking to some old lady with a cart full of cat food in the pet aisle at Kroger. I sparked up the conversation because I saw all the food and knew she's be up for talking cats.

Chalmers ... chihuahua ... get up on his back legs and box at her

You are not super-homo. If you had a wife and kids, you'd probably do the exact same things because deep down, you are just an animal person. You just would not admit it.

So is cat grass different from catnip, then? Every time I go to the store these days I immediately go to the pet stuff and look for stuff for Chalmers. I keep seeing cat grass growing kits, but I assumed it was just a tin of fresh cat nip.

Did we evolve cats into cats like we did dogs? I know that dogs are the way they are through selective breeding, but still possess the basic mentalities as wolves. But I can't believe that cats could have evolved too far when they have to investigate everything new... with their face.

Which is when I ask if anyone else's cats are obsessed with the dishwasher?

Aww but I want Vanessa to get pregnant so that we can have hilarious stories of Crisco dealing with tiny kitties! It is the natural progression for this story guys.

That's what I'm seeing now. Did the original jerk already do it again?

Has anyone figured out a good way to keep them from opening their own curtains?

I've read up lots and I would never, ever dream of having it done, but I sort of see why declawing was so popular for all these years.

criscodisco posted:

I've bought pots of the "cat grass" stuff, that's supposed to be wheat grass and whatever. He's just not interested in it.

Meanwhile, while I'm walking the property he'll follow right behind eating every grassish thing he sees.

How do you guys stand your own adorableness? Adoring other people is one thing (like we adore you), but when you're so god damned cute yourself I just... I, I... I mean there's gotta be a downside to it, you know? To keep things in balance.
