  • Fortunately there’s probably a variety of colors and styles available at a shelter near you!

    And they often have extra deals in Spring during kitten season, for instance ask about a 2-for-1 discount on bonded pairs, or a coupon for a low-cost spay/neuter clinic.

    Once you get your kittens, it’s a great time to start medical insurance, before any “pre-existing conditions” show up.





  • My cat will allow brief chest pets. NOT belly rubs!!!

    Mostly I think she just wants me to stop walking and give her my full attention. She flops right at my feet. Usually while I’m carrying something.

    Sometimes she’ll let me touch her paws too, NOT in a grabby way, just with my fingertips.

    (She normally allows face scritches and back pets but this position isn’t conducive.)

    And sometimes I just take a few seconds to tell her good things about herself, like she’s smart and pretty and brave and strong.

    Fortunately, cats are cool with the attention only lasting a few minutes.



  • IRL, a picture doesn’t have to be a photograph. But see Rule 3? Any time you go to the Sidebar to create a post, there it is looking right at you. Here, I’ve copied and pasted it for you.

    Rules:

    1… Please mark original photos with [OC] in the title if you’re the photographer

    2…Pictures containing a politician from any country or planet are prohibited, this is a community voted on rule.

    3… Image must be a photograph, no AI or digital art.

    4… No NSFW/Cosplay/Spam/Trolling images.

    5… Be civil. No racism or bigotry.

    Photo of the Week Rule(s):

    1… On Fridays, the most upvoted original, marked [OC], photo posted between Friday and Thursday will be the next week’s banner and featured photo.

    2… The weekly photos will be saved for an end of the year run off.


  • This might be local but “Deem!” as the sound of magical transformation. As an adult I think some child heard/read something like “I deem you Sir Galahad, Knight of the Round Table” and mixed it up with cartoon magic sounds, but in our neighborhood any kid with a good stick could wave it and say “Deem! You’re a horse!” or “Deem! You’re a frog!” and the other kid would act the part for awhile. You could even deem yourself, like “Deem! I’m a wizard!” Which is redundant now that I think of it.
