French cat with his girl

[–] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 34 points 1 year ago

Thanks. This is the cutest photo I've seen for a long time!

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God I love the joy expressed by the girl meanwhile the cat is like ew french

Wish I could ever be that happy

I'm also allergic, so I buy stupidly expensive cat food that reduces the enzyme in cats saliva that most people react to. I'm good to cuddle and pet my cat, as long as I can avoid scratches, I'm good.

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that is a possible solution, I just to find a better paying job to afford a cat and such type of food. But it's not just about having a cat, life sucks and last time anyone I know was happy was in the idle days of youth around the age of the girl on the photo, that's something money can't buy

[–] Duranie@literature.cafe 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel you on that. Full disclosure - I've hit the point in my life where my kids are grown and self sustaining and I'm finally working a job that actually meets my needs. I wish you the absolute best in finding the right job for you and that hopefully life can suck at least a little less.

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you for kind words, Duranie! Best wishes to you as well <з

Did you know you can also just eat eggs from chickens that live with cats?

"14 Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds for People With Allergies"

https://www.thesprucepets.com/hypoallergenic-cat-breeds-553872

Cat allergies are caused by a protein called Fel d 1.1 When cats groom themselves, Fel d 1 gets on their fur and dander, exposing you to it. While no cat is truly free of allergens, breeds referred to as hypoallergenic have lower levels of the Fel d 1 protein, making them a potentially better option for people with allergies.

Thanks, friend of satan! To my knowledge there is no such thing as antiallergic cat breed, although there are cat foods that contain enzymes that destroy tue protains that cause allergies within the cats but without damaging them although they are not 100% efficient and are a bit more expensive

Hypoallergenic GMO cats are possibly coming in the future. I think I read before that there doesn't seem to be a downside to coding out the protein/s that cause most allergies.

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's cool, crispr can do that. I've heard recently that there is a gene slicing AI similar to crispr on the way, hope people will stick to a man operated gene slicing technology as opposed to an AI one

What a smile!

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if she's still around

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She looks no older than maybe 5 years or maybe a bit older - that would make her around 70 today. Pretty likely she's still alive.

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are we talking about the cat or the bike?

Photograph me like one of your French girls holding a cat.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Girl: I AM HOLDING A CAT!

Cat: is held

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like a rare case of a cat being owned and not viceversa. Beautiful photograph.

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago
