@f00l At least he would attack the cat. He attacks all my friends and family so I have to keep him caged whenever I have company. He goes for their eyes and hands.
@davea510 Why do so many people think this is so funny? I don’t see a lot of jokes about eating dog meat, and most people are pretty offended that that’s actually a thing in Asia.
Btw, i have a feeling I’m gonna regret asking this (feel free to consider it a rhetorical question! ), but how many pics of old ripped dudes do u have?!
@ircon96 I don’t “have” any. Google/duckduckgo/startpage are your friends. I post them as eye candy for all the mehtizens, although some mehmbers are known to have a certain catfinity for them.
To each their own. It seems society at large deems exploiting distorted body images of (almost exlusively) young white women as acceptable without a second thought, while questioning the motives in posting images of old dudes or athletic men of color for equally purient interests. As if only half the planet has the ability or interest to appreciate the beauty of the human form. I give the fairer sex more credit than that.
@mike808 Whoa, easy fella! I didn’t mean to imply u were a collector or anything, just yankin’ yer chain! And i didn’t say i don’t appreciate them, I’ve always loved men of experience, greybeards, well-seasoned beef, etc, of all shapes & sizes, even BEFORE i was on the same side of the hill as they are!
@ircon96 I know. I’ve been avoiding it to be able to binge watch it start to finish, since the SO isn’t a fan. Now it looks like it will be behind the Peacock paywall. /sigh.
@mike808 Unfortunately, Peacock only has a 7-day free trial, but it’s also available on Hulu, which offers 30 days, so depending on how fast you can binge, those might work. There are a lot of episodes, though, & both those services have ads unless you pay for premium, so it might be a challenge! The only other potential free source I can think of would be your local library, via either streaming or DVD…?
@j37hr0 Mine prefers to lay next to me, get her ears scritched and purr. (She’s doing that right now…I’ve gotten pretty good typing with just one hand.) But, yes, there is nothing else like it.
@j37hr0
I have awakened in the middle of the night lately to find that as many as four of ours have either climbed on top or bracketed me in place, mostly the latter.
@rjordan We were down to eight last year, six of them seniors (late teens). We swore that was it, no more for us since we’re seniors ourselves.
Then that pregnant cat happened last July. She had six kittens on August 10th. The vet’s office was going to help us place them, but…
Once again, we failed at “fostering”.
Our fence is modified to keep them in our yard, it’s safest for them that way and no complaints from unhappy neighbors. Once they come in after dark, though, they’re in for the night.
@rjordan that little 6 button over that looks like a full
moon over the mountain will let you upload kitty pics if you want. Not that you need to. But IDK if you have noticed we like kitties
@kittykat9180@yakkoTDI When my daughter was a toddler, we had a Doberman, so that formed her notion of “dog”. She refused to acknowledge that the neighbors’ two Yorkies were dogs - she initially insisted they were “kitties” and finally settled on calling them “kitty-dogs”.
All cats are weirdos. Furry, little, adorable weirdos. I am live-in servant to two and have three more outdoor friends (mostly strays but I think there are neighbors who take at least one of them in when the weather is really bad) who visit regularly.
I like the cats but prefer the dog.
My wife likes the dog but prefers the cats.
The dog is ambivalent about the cats.
The cats dislike the dog.
The humans prefer each other to the pets.
Somehow, it all works out.
Bwahahaha I have aligned 3 of the four kittens + coco.

Only Snickers remai… Fuck fuck fuck frick fuck
Literally as I was typing I had the worst cramp in my calf. And grit my teeth locked my leg so I wouldn’t kick them off and make Whatcha and Alex question safe place to be.
So I guess either manipulative or behavior modifying cause there would have been a very different response without the “kids” on me
[1]:
@Kyeh whatcha/whatchamacallit. She has that and her white tip tail. “Extra bits” vs Snickers who is just more normally striped.
This of course makes no sense in retrospect if you Google/know what a whatchamacallit candy bar is. I don’t think I’d ever had one, maybe I was thinking of a take 5 that adds extra bits… Or something else… Either way she responds to Watcha at least for me lol
@unksol I love the white tip on her tail. Does she chase it? Toby has a much smaller white tip and he chases it all the time; cracks me up. He’ll stare at it and then … pounce! Even do somersaults trying to catch it.
@Kyeh IDK that I’ve noticed her specifically do that. But she’s got others to spend her energy on. I think I saw Snickers chasing her tail the other day across the room.
KitKat was mostly black but had those white tipped paws. I definitely never let him chase the laser pointer and then shined it directly on top of his bright white paw. That would not be amusing at all…
I have both an inside/outside dog and outside cats. I can relate more to dogs. The dog thinks she is my equal. However, I look both ways before crossing a street, rabbit over there, or not.
But the cats think they are superior to me.
But, are they? I’ve never singed my mustache like this:
@phendrick Years ago I had a cat that did that to her whiskers checking out a housemate’s candle. Yours seems to have gotten a bunch of fur as well. Looks like she took off the upper whiskers and eye lashes completely. Hope her balance isn’t off because of this.
@unksol No, but I’ve never gotten stuck in a too-small area, either with or without a mustache, so maybe my evolution has been a little superior to felines’.
I have singed my arm/hand hair before, though, while cooking both on home stove and while camping, so maybe my skin evolution could have been better.
@Kidsandliz Not my cat – just one in a pic sent to me in email as part of a story.
OTOH, some of the cats that hang out around my back deck seem to be somewhat unbalanced, though not due to any lack of facial hair.
My dog also seems to be a little unbalanced, mainly when she spots one of the cats trespassing in her yard. Funny thing is, there is ONE cat she ignores quite often (I guess maybe it has been around long enough to seem to be deck furniture), the rest she goes postal over.
@phendrick@unksol My cat accidentally got her whiskers singed checking out a candle. Flame moved suddenly when the fan came on with the heat. She jumped fast but not fast enough.
Mine bat things off stuff all the time although usually nothing breakable. If I ever got new couches they would be something the cats wouldn’t want to scratch on and it might involve another person and maybe a squirt gun. On good scratch bad you have an all this nice siscal. Price you pay. All pets break things. So do kids Your standard cost/benefit analysis
@narfcake@st_ellis When my little sister was about 2 - old enough to walk but still very small - she went to the china cupboard, picked up a cup, and dropped it on the uncarpeted floor. My mother caught her before she broke any more, but that’s absolutely her defense. "I was conducting a scientific experiment!"
Now, youll see its a webp. And Meh hasn’t updated their code since 2015. So you’ll have to convert it at someplace like ezgif.com/webp-to-jpg.
Or cheat. And change the end “.webp” to “.jpeg”. Giphy really doesn’t like people bypassing their travking code and ads. That’s partly why Facebook paid so much to buy them.

You’re not imagining it is complicated. Giphy is going out of their way to block your browser fyom trying to do what you’re trying todo. Other sites aren’t as big dicks about it as giphy, though. Tenor is another one that’s a PITA.
@mike808 Thanks for posting this for me. Lost a bit of the “punch” of the response to the original post of the cat knocking something to the ground from a table though with all this intermediate crap of mine trying to post it.
Cats are awesome!

POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
Any cat would become food for my pet conure. Yes, I said that right. My bird would eat the cat.
@cengland0
Your conure would manage to eat the wee ittle kittykat pictured above?
@f00l At least he would attack the cat. He attacks all my friends and family so I have to keep him caged whenever I have company. He goes for their eyes and hands.

One of my cats this evening. (We have nine.)
@kjady Wow. 81 lives!
My granddaughter asked if I liked cats. I told her it depends on the sauce.
@davea510 Why do so many people think this is so funny? I don’t see a lot of jokes about eating dog meat, and most people are pretty offended that that’s actually a thing in Asia.
@davea510 @Kyeh I think he’s just being catty…
@davea510 @shahnm
Hisssssss.
@davea510 @Kyeh @shahnm eh. I could make this joke every which way about everything. Probably have.
Personally I don’t think my cats would care for @davea510. He probably tastes a little off.
@davea510 @Kyeh @shahnm @unksol He’s probably dry & stringy, too. I mean, he has grandchildren, so he’s no spring chicken!

Wet or Dry aged?
@davea510 @ircon96 @Kyeh @lisaviolet @shahnm @unksol

Mike808 I think @oldcatlady likes her photo beef a bit younger.
@Kidsandliz @OldCatLady
Hey, I don’t judge.
The topic was “aged beef” after all, not “tender veal”.
Unsurprisingly, much like the US Senate, the only photos of “aged beef” that came up were of old white guys.
@mike808 Whoa, easy fella! I didn’t mean to imply u were a collector or anything, just yankin’ yer chain!
And i didn’t say i don’t appreciate them, I’ve always loved men of experience, greybeards, well-seasoned beef, etc, of all shapes & sizes, even BEFORE i was on the same side of the hill as they are!

@davea510 @ircon96 @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @OldCatLady @shahnm @tinamarie1974 @unksol
Don’t like aged beef? Try the veal.
The dark meat has the most flavor.
@mike808 Terry Crews!! Aww, damn, that reminds me how much i miss Brooklyn Nine-Nine!

Cats are cats. They do cat things for cat reasons.
I wish I wasn’t so allergic. Nothing like a purring cat in your lap.
@j37hr0 Mine prefers to lay next to me, get her ears scritched and purr. (She’s doing that right now…I’ve gotten pretty good typing with just one hand.) But, yes, there is nothing else like it.
@j37hr0
I have awakened in the middle of the night lately to find that as many as four of ours have either climbed on top or bracketed me in place, mostly the latter.
Fine. Some are better than others, but that’s just personalities, like all creatures.
Cats are just purrfect; ask any of them and they will tell you that, but only if they decide you are worth talking to.
Weird. I have 2 indoor and a colony of neighborhood cats in my yard, and I love them all…but they’re weird.
Clearly aliens. How else do you explain the pyramids? Stargate was so close.
@unksol What a great documentary.
I have 6 indoor cats. I love them like my kids. I can’t have kids so I have to mother something…and I choose cats.
@rjordan I love them like the bratty teenagers they are. Kids might be pushing it lol. But to each their own.
@rjordan @unksol Yeah if we just gave 'em smartphones it would be all over for us humans.
@rjordan We were down to eight last year, six of them seniors (late teens). We swore that was it, no more for us since we’re seniors ourselves.
Then that pregnant cat happened last July. She had six kittens on August 10th. The vet’s office was going to help us place them, but…

The world’s most lovable sociopaths.
Cats are okay but dogs are better (except little yappy ones).
@kittykat9180 +1
@kittykat9180 I use the rule that if it is smaller than my cat it is not a dog.
@kittykat9180 @yakkoTDI When my daughter was a toddler, we had a Doberman, so that formed her notion of “dog”. She refused to acknowledge that the neighbors’ two Yorkies were dogs - she initially insisted they were “kitties” and finally settled on calling them “kitty-dogs”.

@macromeh Natasha is showing us she likes us humans, has no use for the dog or cats, including her kittens.
Cats are generally assholes; there are occasional exceptions. Kittens can be nice but have a high probability of turning into assholes.

@unksol Oh, true - chasing a sibling is probably more fun! But not as funny for us.
@Kyeh got her. Been up here purring all morning/cant get her off me. Worth the cramp.
She bites HARD if you play with her but she is tiny compared to the rest so she probably has to.
@unksol She’s a real beauty!
I love how the stripes are kind of variegated and mixed up.
I have both an inside/outside dog and outside cats. I can relate more to dogs. The dog thinks she is my equal. However, I look both ways before crossing a street, rabbit over there, or not.
But the cats think they are superior to me.
But, are they? I’ve never singed my mustache like this:
@phendrick have you ever grown your mustache out far enough to use it to see if you can fit places and then sat in front of a fire though.
Also… If you’ve never singed any hair. Just a little bit. Are you really living your best life?
@phendrick Years ago I had a cat that did that to her whiskers checking out a housemate’s candle. Yours seems to have gotten a bunch of fur as well. Looks like she took off the upper whiskers and eye lashes completely. Hope her balance isn’t off because of this.
