I think I speak for most people when I say that I’m a good representative of the general population.

  • Shit I actually thought about commenting that too before looking here and then I thought this is probably a detail everyone does when appropriate and I just never noticed before.

  • The cat distribution system finally found me

  • Oh my god she is adorable. This may be the most jealous I have ever felt of a poster online.

  • Haven't been feeling well for a few days. My girl keeps me company.

  • I'm really sick right now and this makes me miss my boy so much.

    Had a traumatic life event a couple months back and I've had to move far away and could not take him. I'm confident he's in good hands, but it's hard.

  • Feline asthma

    Jump

  • When I got my first cat about ten years ago I was young, naïve, and stupid enough to think paying monthly for pet insurance was a good idea and when she developed asthma two years later they said it was a pre-existing condition so they wouldn't cover any treatment. Ended up giving her up since we were barely getting by as-is, I still feel ashamed.

  • I'm in the divorce process and in many ways I'm terrified of reaching the point where I am past the grief and feeling a need to fill that void.

    We met over ten years ago because I posted a personals ad on a local r4r titled "Creepy guy seeks woman way out of his league". Everything seems 5000x more gamified now.

    I'm somewhat awkward, so I'm a lot more comfortable putting off phone or video for a few days. With that said, I really want to avoid the shame and frustration that comes with taking a full hour to realize I've been treating a chatbot like a real human being.

  • Best friends for life

  • Inter-species animal friendships are always so heartwarming to me. I don't have an explanation for why, but they always hit me differently.

  • Realizing that my cat spent months teaching me he likes head massages.

  • She looks adorable. What was her name?

  • There's a lot of variability. We got Roto-Borola after our old cat Buddy passed. Buddy was the best pet I've ever had and I miss him with all my heart, but he was dumb as rocks, which produced some good stories.

    Roto-Borola immediately showed he was a quick learner and it was immediately infuriating. He realized very quickly that if he chews on my electrical wires I'll tell him not to do that, so in a situation where he comes up to me for attention and I try to calmly explain that I'm working on something urgent for work right now and he should wait half an hour, straight to chewing on the wires so that he will have my attention. He almost never does this when he's not actively interested in redirecting my behavior. One time, he was probably a little less than a year old, I tried giving him twenty minutes of cage time to discourage the chewing and as soon as I let him out he sprinted back to chew on them again, like now it's not about making me play with him it's about punishing me for the injustice I have committed.

    Currently have a makeshift setup where all the wires behind my desk are blocked off by large cardboard pieces with a tiny hole cut underneath so they can run along the floor. I've done an extremely poor engineering job on this - it works perfectly for its intended purpose of not having my wires eaten, but anytime I need to change a cable a one minute task now takes like fifteen unless I'm willing to cede ground in our battle over eating wires.

  • Any public place frankly, I get a 30 minute lunch and 7-8 people blasting Tick Tocks in a small area...

  • It's kind of amazing that I haven't really thought about Woody Woodpecker since watching the cartoons as a kid and the animation doesn't look familiar at all other than yeah that's the right colors, but I could hear the laugh in my head immediately on seeing the name, without having to play the audio.
