The cat might know your name though! Cats learn the names of other animals and humans in their household.

Not really related to selfhosting per se, but two things come to my mind:

• Anytype is kinda like obsidian, but with a different approach. Every object is of some type and those can be searched, filtered etc in collections and sets - based on tags, attributes, … IIRC there even is a pre-made type „bookmark“ for links and documents.
• As of a workflow: for stuff like this I really feel that a „simplified“ GTD-approach works best for me - dump everything into an „inputstream“ as you encounter it and process this on a daily (or weekly) basis; prioritise, tag, remove it

When you’ve got no fancy coloured markings on your, you gotta help yourself? 🤷‍♂️

tolerates?

Oops, better watch out about that last statement you made there!

❤️

Because they mostly come in awesome boxes!

Ahh, yes. I can also add plants and pets to the list!

Go over bury your face in the plushy fur of your dog/cat? Day suddenly looks way less gloomy.

And fuck, it is a good feeling to see a new leaf or bloom sprouting from your favourite plant-Bro 👌

The responses are rough, man 😅 Some of y’all are hanging on just out of spite - which is totally valid tho. Hope you all will be able to find beauty in the world again and enjoy life!

For me it’s my family. Had a real fucking shitty day yesterday. Everything went wrong and then some. Then just got a glimpse of a picture of my son playing with his grandparents, laughing, happy. That was it, my day got 1200% better that instant.

Emotional support 👌

Beautiful specimen!

I really like how both of them look slightly annoyed :)

Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.

That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.

Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time

Totally not a dumb question tbh - the answer probably also highly depends on where you’re from.

In Germany (also highly depends on county/city) yes, they do normally fare pretty well and shelters often operate multiple feeding stations where there are a lot of strays. So they get to know the „local strays“ and can keep an eye on them via volunteers and cams.

When a cat is visibly sick, they catch them at this station, treat them and if the cat is alright, oftentimes release them again - shelters are notoriously full and money ist scarce for these organisations unfortunately…

However, if there are conditions that make life for this cat (or others - e.g. FIV) dangerous, they are normally kept in the shelter and then opened for adoption as a „only indoors cat“.

Also, older cats often end up in shelters because they often belonged to older people - and when they can’t care for the cats anymore, have to move or die one day, the cats have to go somewhere too.

Yeah, iirc TetraPak advertised as being an eco-friendly packaging and was prohibited to do so (at least in some countries, dunno) exactly because of that.

Completely ignoring that fucking crazy statement from the video:

Yes, it can contain meat. But you normally start somewhere at around 5months with only single types of veggies, so you can check allergies and also it’s easier for their digestion. I think you normally do not start any meat before 8 or 9 months.

Brave girl! And good on you to neuter them! Give her a lot of cuddles and treats :)

For the pills: A stupidly good tip I’ve read on Lemmy a while back is butter! Cats love that stuff and it masks the bitterness of the medicine. Wash your hands after initial handling of the pill, rub them in a bit of butter between your fingers and optionally put them into a snack your cat likes. That way, I can give my one very picky cat its meds daily.

When our cat had this surgery, the vet told us that she should not jump and climb if possible. So, maybe set everything she likes up the way so she won’t have to climb/jump? Ours especially liked to crawl into our bedsheets afterwards, so I set up the bed on the ground for some nights.

And, if you have another cat: separate them if you can’t watch them. Cats can’t really recognise their fellows after a surgery (meds, wounds and the vet mask their normal smell) and might go a bit berserk on them.

Fun fact: in Germany, the 70s series „The Persuaders“ has cult status because of this. Everywhere else it kinda flopped, but the German dub is soo hilariously nonsensical that everybody loved it.

The people that were in charge of the dub are the same as for all the Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill Movies.
