It would literally have cost you nothing not to write that sentence down… but here we are

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.

That’s an interesting one that I’ll have to try out!

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

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.

As almost everybody already said: Just try it. Get some protectors and a helmet - don’t give a single shit whether anybody would think that’s not cool or goofy or whatever. You love your body and want to protect it. That’s rad imo. Also: a helmet is more real estate for awesome stickers ;)

Then remember two things: bend your knees and lean forward. Also, you will fall and get up again. That’s part of skateboarding. Try to learn how to correctly fall: loosen your body and try to always divert the impact by rolling and “pushing the ground”. Find out if you’re regular or goofy and just go for it.

I highly recommend the beginner videos from braille Skateboarding on YouTube! They have a lot of tips for everything.

Yes, I think that’s the consensus on how to pronounce it.

In case anyone has never heard the acronym: it stands for what you see is what you get. As opposed to what you see is what you mean (e. g. TeX)

? Then just… put on some oven gloves to get it out…? 😅

😏

Look at that pure wrath in its little face!

The good reason as stated in another comment is having hairy housemates ;)

Also, I personally much prefer to get into a tidy bed, it’s just such a comfy feeling :3

Yeah… we’ve got furry little idiots that will spread hair everywhere in the bed. It’s a bit nicer to have that on top of the blankets instead of in your bed

That’s a good one! I’ll try this out tomorrow 👍

Auch ein guter Punkt! Manche Städte und Regionen bieten sogar in ihren Grünflächenämtern Saatgutmischungen mit heimischen Pflanzen an :)

Second this! Ich verstehe es auch nicht ganz, weil das sinnvollste (kommt natürlich auf die Menge an) einfach drübermähen (am besten mit Mulcher natürlich) ist. Und das ist zeitgleich auch noch das einfachste… ich sammel immer genug für ein, zwei Häufchen für Igel, Insekten etc mit dem Rechen weg; der Rest bleibt kleingemäht auf dem Grün.

I guess OP meant won’t be worth much as in „when your government is overthrown, the new government might just kick you out of your home and strip you of your land“ as the current government is actually the only party giving you the right to claim ownership of the land.
