With the pinks, glitter, and jewels... why the hell does this come off as MORE THREATENING than how they normally look!?
They're also doing a good job laying the foundation to make sure even those of us who are grown and had SOME semblance of positive feelings for our country are really getting to hate it. Sure the USA was never perfect, not by a long shot, but holy hell, this regime is doing a bang up job at making sure they hurt / piss off as many people as possible no matter where they are on the political, financial, & ethic lines. You know it's bad when people from the USA (& not) are getting to hate it. :(
I hadn't even taken that into consideration but you're right.With them still being so little, not yet vaccinated, who knows what sort of enviromental stuff (food, air, water, chemicals, etc.) they got exposed to before they get to KFD's hands. Just because they look fine beforehand doesn't say a thing about anything they were exposed to before that. Plus, there's the whole topic of how cats are naturally good at hiding anything that's wrong with them until it's SUPER bad.
Reading down through these comments, I'm kinda wondering if the person who commented 'gayest shit I've ever seen' is just kinda masking and not wanting to just come out and say 'holy shit that's hot, I am SO INTO THIS'.Heck, 1 - I'm not a dude, 2 - the dude in the video ain't my type, but dammmnnn that's attractive to watch, plus 3 - the skill to keep moving to make it look so effortless! So I'll say it 'holy shit that's hot, and I am SO INTO THIS'
Please credit the author with a link in the description. It makes their stuff easier for other people to find.
lol Just as it should be. After all, if they're not getting spoiled rotten, are they even loved? (mind you, teaching them proper boundaries and making sure they don't cause trouble, but still.)
Aaaawwwww!!!! <3
Just read through the replies to this and I 100% agree. If you're out there and just want a peaceful place to play at but still be able to interact with others, make that peaceful place. There ARE other people out there who aren't walking piles of garbage. They're looking for a peaceful place, too. You're not alone. It's just tricky trying to cross paths with them and to reinforce a truly safe space. Zero tolerance for the disgusting pests. Life is better without them.
Aaawwww <3
lol Yeah, everyone's got a fetish of some kind. Doesn't mean everyone's brave enough to outright admit they've got one, muchless what it is.
Crumple up pieces of paper instead. I did that with two litters of kittens and they went nuts for it.....though you always have to watch out for a rogue kitten who might get a bit too excited and piddle in the paper balls.Life experience there.
So, yeah, if you can't treat the waiters nice simply to be a decent human being, do it to prevent pissing off the people serving your food. Good thing to keep in mind.
Let's all be honest here. Yes, we want to treat the waiters nicely b/c its the right thing to do, BUT these people are making & serving you your food. You piss them off & they know how to mess with your food & get away with it. (Heard stories about rude customers getting their pattie 'accidentally' dropped on the kitchen floor, or 'accidentally' rubbed all around the garbage lid edge before getting put into the sandwich. This is just the stuff we know about.)
1st up, I didn't realize it was two, instead of one.2nd, Wow & just WOW!!! Amazing transformation!3rd, I get it from the vet's perspective. Who wants to waste so much time & effort dealing with all of that, when they can just be put down? Go out & adopt a healthy kitten or two?It goes to show what sort of person you are to have ignored that and put in the time & effort to help them recover, heal, & thrive.Thank you for all you've done for them! You're a wonderful person!
True that. Sometimes a smile is just a smile. Sometimes a compliment is just pointing out 'hey, I like how that looks' and you move on with your day. Not a date, no further conversation needed. Just 'see something, say something nice, and move on with your day'.
AH! So, I'm not the only person who does that! That's reassuring to hear.
And that's when I learned the hard way to 1 - keep my wallet on a metal chain attached at the waist (either belt or belt loop) so ain't no way it's getting lost or forgotten somewhere...or get dropped in the toilet... again.2 - make sure it can't be scanned by a card reader while still in my wallet. Use RFID protectors, people. Digital pickpocketing is real.
Just goes to show that when out of a shelter and in a safe, peaceful, loving home, these spoiled rotten hairballs will thrive.
YAAAYYY!!! OMG This is such excellent news to hear!!! Thank you for the update!
Wow! What a rough start and, with proper care, love, meds, and time, look at what a beautiful kitty that is!
Same.Reminds me of those memes about plumbers and letting their butt cracks hang out for the world to see. Don't have to be attracted to it to look. Even if you cringe, feel grossed out, and look away... people will still look....like looking at a crash on the road or a dumpster on fire. All it has to be is out of the ordinary to be attention grabbing.
That's suggesting that the US court system works at any sort of a reasonable pace to begin with. There's a reason why they have the reputation of working at a snail's pace.
Yeah, I agree. The only problem with that is that there are still way too many people holding onto the hold stereotype of 'girls must have it beaten into them at the youngest possible age to be tolerant, kind, and 'lady-like' because that's what's expected of them' whereas boys are allowed to do as they please and if they misbehave? act like bullies? 'Oh, that's just boys being boys. It's normal. It's fine'. Got 3 older sisters with kids of their own. One of them has raised her kids this way.
4 continued - sometimes (depends on the person, depends on the stage of grief, and how heart aching they feel), a really thoughtful gift like that only ends up as a painful reminder, instead of a sweet keepsake. So, yeah, I definately think it'd be a good idea to ask her if she'd want something like that before deciding to surprise her with it.5 - Whatever you decide to do, good luck, and I hope you both are able to find solace and peace in your lives, despite these precious losses.
3 - pain and grief, because, well, I'm sure you already know, sometimes you just need a distraction from it.And, knowing the cat distrobution system, when the time is right and she's least expecting it, a cat will find its way into her life, help her heal and be ready to love again. Though, that works in its own time and in its own way.4 - As for the blanket with the cat's picture on it, my opinion here? Ask your mom if that's what she wants and if she feels ready to have that. Because
2 - Coming from someone who's had to sit through 6 cats in the past 9 years go through hospice care (me providing the hospice and it was heartbreaking) and you having lost your grandmother, such a loss of someone (be it cat or human) so important breaks your heart in a way you don't really ever come back from. You just move on and the pain gets to be less with time.As for your mom, give her time, be there for her, let her share if she wants to share or talk about unrelated stuff to ignore the
1 - I'm glad you know yourself so well that you know you do that and that's how you feel. My mom does that, tad bit unconsciously on her part, and I always feel like it's less 'I have this in common with your experience' and more 'okay, that's what you went through, BUT HERE'S WHAT *I* WENT THROUGH AND IT WAS MORE ROUGH'. It sucks. I sincerely hope everyone in your life appreciates your sharing and feels better for it. Not everyone's that fortunate to have someone so self aware in their life.
Limewire, Kaaza, Napster... man.. just hearing those is such a throwback.
THe only thing I can do is hope for the best. I've already got 11 rescue cats (basically, cat distrobution system working well, even out in the flippin' countryside, no one else around here is into adopting cats. they want dogs.) and money was already tight before we had a mama cat basically adopt us and bring her 3 kittens with her.All I can say is that, sometimes, it takes a while for their furever family to find them, unfortunately.
Yup.When my cat had kittens (almost 9 years back), we were worried about them, got them kitten formula, even added a tiny bit of sugar to the mix to intice them to drink. Not a single one out of those six kittens wanted anything to do with that forumula.Their mama, on the other hand, lol you couldn't keep her away from the stuff. In the end, we fed it to her so 1 - it wouldn't go to wasteand 2 - at least that way SOME of the nutrients went into mama kitty and would end up in the kittens
