@baconmash@aussie.zone Here is bread cat being an idiot as usual
Love those eyes!
I love the dubious expression lol
He was desperately seeking attention and pats - I have a photo of about 10 seconds later when he's completely blissing the fuck out!
Thankyou, we think so. Even if she does live up to her name Pepper and gets a bit spicy. She's with us purely through the Cat Distribution System, completely unplanned but loved all the same.
My goodness your second picture looks just like one I used to have. Was a cheeky little one, very playful like the JRT we also had.
Bacon you are a bloody legend for this post! I'm lovin' the cat pics, it was just what I needed today.
Phoenix and Cosmo
This lovely girl is in kitty heaven
I'm late to the party but my companion for the evening says hi
This is the pickiest cat I've ever met so she'll probably ignore your offering but thank you anyway. I shall keep it for myself.
You called and they came! They all so cute 😻
Still fussy about wet food... this is turning into Green Eggs And Ham
Edit:
I would not eat it in a dish
I would not eat it though it's fish
I do not like it in the street
I do not like it with a treat
No siree, rack off dude
I do not like this wet cat food
Despite your frustration, this is a pretty good and funny poem!
Thanks.
Just to clarify as well - 'in the street' was just for the rhyme. Melbcat is an inside kitty, living in a gilded cage for her safety and that of the wildlife
I don't often get into debates about gossip, but when someone says a female actor/director/writer/artist is toxic, I'm always like were they actually a shit human or did they simply ask for the same respect their male colleague/s were getting or potentially did they even just act like a human being for five seconds.
I understand where you're coming from, and it is tricky. That said, there are plenty of toxic men and women in the arts. Best thing to do is read up and check your sources I guess.
Looks like I'm mostly staying in bed today. 😭 Bones take time to heal ( and will heal so at least I don't feel hopeless now) but ouch.
Will finish watching all the Troll Hunter shows. They are so adorable and the animation is so good. Can recommend. 😻🤗👍
Well it's a nice day to be inside in the cool. Hope the healing is smooth even if it's never fast enough.
I just showered then fell asleep on the bathroom floor 😑
I wore them on the dog walk and it was a mistake. I am now in shorts.
No. You are adult. This is diagnostic. I am not talking about 'brown' bread, which is white bread with added caramel for the colour. Real wholemeal is sweetish when chewed, but in a nice way. And MUCH more nutritious. Even plastic bag wholemeal bread. Wholemeal sourdough or ciabatta is another level of yum. I even like wholemeal flat breads more than white.
nope wholemeal gang here you good.
No. Wholemeal bread is more "toothsome" (a word used in my household to describe any food which feels nice to bite/chew, and doesn't disintegrate into "plog." Are these words made up? I think so).
Wholemeal is the best
Nope. Wholemeal has a taste. White has no taste. Multigrain can go in the bin tho.
I'm watching the Fargo tv series for the first time. This is pretty good hey. She says, 10 years later. I can't get enough of those Minnesotan 'nooo's. I hear s4 is best skipped though.
The dog isn't happy. UV is down but temp is still high. Maybe a shady side of the street blockie. He's sitting outside already.
Buenos noches amigos
Chicken and rice salad, tea and a dessert of your choosing. If no dessert, I'm going to riot.
Delicious. Riot cancelled due to food coma.
I'd like some duck doughnuts please 🇧🇭
Sugar. Their rolls/buns actually qualify as candy in some European countries.
I'm gonna make jerk chicken today but with a difference. I have some chicken thighs that I'll cut up and marinade. Then I'll fry them.
Will do. It's not the real deal more of a basic bitch recipe.
Important things on my to-do list: bookkeeping for my business, cleaning the house
Not on my to-do list: sorting out the multiple boxes of accumulated tech stuff that I've hoarded over the years
Guess which one my ADHD brain is hyper-focusing on today...
The oldest thing I've found so far is a 23 year-old Nokia 6210, also a Nokia 770 'internet tablet' from 2006
Hey! I have the same todo list.....I just spent three hours repotting and setting up moss poles for my pot plants. Yay for procasti-chores
Haven't even looked at the bookkeeping, nor have I tackled the garage, but I'm purging the bookcases and going through old magazines we'd set aside for later and never got to. At least the yellow bin is filling up nicely.
Instead of just sorting them, have you tried getting them to boot and seeing what you can get running on them? If they don't work then are you looking in to how to fix them? Also once you've been through them all, just remember, you never know when you might need them so it's probably worth putting them back. Also make sure to put them back exactly in the same spot and box they were originally in otherwise you'll never find them again.
Hehe...
Sunset dins wrap was good tonight.
Not pictured was the doggo 'ducky' who came up for a bit of the wrap action. Naughty 'ducky'. It wasn't duckies' first time they definitely knew how to game the situation. Owner ran over and leashed poor ducky.
But I have stolen a chip before so..
***It takes one to know one ***
Yummm. Lucky ducky doggo.
PSA: the vegemite squeezy bottle works brilliantly to deliver the exact amount needed for a crumpet. Never used a squeezy bottle before this, very impressed. I've seen honey in squeezy bottles - will give that a go as I detest crumbs and smears in the honey jar.
Alright, I've figured it all out.
Cat rambles
The unexplained jumping was not asking for food like usual, but Melbcat wanting me to fix something that wasn't immediately obvious.
She wanted to get into a tiny nook in the wardrobe that was occupied by a bag of stuff, and was asking me to move it. I had seen her interest but thought it was too small for her and didn't want to risk her springing a leak in an annoying spot... but as soon as I did she crept in there and crawled behind the open frame chest of drawers (in a space made by a pulled out drawer). I'm going to have to organise/declutter the wardrobe and put pee pads down underneath just in case. I'd put a hidey box in there if there was enough room.
She will eat plain cold cat food from the tin with nothing else added so I don't know if she's objecting to the usual warm water, the tasteless medicine she's usually fine with, the tasteless stool softener, or the pumpkin baby food she normally loves. However skipping or delaying her medication is keeping her in a cycle of feeling terrible. It's not encouraging her appetite, plus she needs to have food with her antibiotics and really needs something to move her bowels.
So I've been a horrible human and thrown the skipped meal out, syringed dissolved medication and stool softener into her mouth, and given her some of the plain cold cat food. Hopefully a few days of this will get her back to normal. She hasn't finished her course of antibiotics yet but if she continues acting funny after that and doesn't become more regular soon it's back to the vet.
Really wish the little bastards would use more than the one action to indicate multiple needs!
We've been giving punkin his meds either soaked in sour cream or ground up and mixed with those pureed treat snacks on a spoon. He's now decided he hates hills renal bar the chicken stew and maybe the pate on occasion, so we're basically just endlessly cycling throught food types to prevent the boredom. Although a dab of oil from my sardine jar drives him nuts, so we're keeping that in the back pocket.
i know melbcat is allergic to the chikkens, but have you ever tried her on crocodile? Aussiefreezedried do treat bags
Yeah. I wish they could speak. To be fair she has used it before for 'I need help' and led me to whatever when I asked her to show me, but without a clear followup most often it's been asking for wet food. (So very often that I once initially missed it as a cue for 'there's a hole in my biscuits, go shake the bowl.') It was confusing because she was right next to what she wanted already and she didn't walk around near it or start pawing. I could still be wrong about her wanting the nook but I'll leave it open to see.
It's so hard when they get the fancies and the established stuff isn't good enough. She completely turned up her nose at a fish Churu a while ago too. I'm really hoping that her appetite improves after the antibiotics are finished and the constipation has eased (both common causes of nausea). I'm a bit worried about sour cream with the lactose but you've reminded me she used to love Greek yogurt back when I was still able to eat it myself. Perhaps I should put a tiny tub in my next shop.
Crocodile sounds cool, might be a bit expensive. She still loves her single protein fish treats and will eat them no problem - she just doesn't always go for them if they're garnishing a wet meal.
