This picture has the same vibes as my 78 year old dad the first time he got a smart phone, and I taught him how to use the camera.

Very true

I have selfies like this from my dad :D

Unusual name (to an American like me, anyway). Is there a story behind it?

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago

Yea he had absurdly huge paws as a kitten and Zampone means 'big paw' in Italian.

We mostly call him Pino, Perle or Popel though

So handsome!

I don't know exactly how this Lemmy thing works yet, cause it's the first day but I'll do my best and provide more Paco and Pino content.

Btw, Pino was Internet famous for a second; we streamed to rpan and he was viewed by 30k people just sleeping

What a distinguished gentleman

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure we have the same definition of 'gentleman' but let's pretend he is xD

He’s doing such a good job being a kitty cat!

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He had a phase, when he was younger where he believed he is a dog.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, I’m sure he did a very good job being a dog too!

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He sure did, even recognized my car and came to me meowing.

If he can't wake me up on his own with singing in the morning, he now utilizes our dog for help by stealing his sleeping space

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He sings you a wake up song 😻🎶💕

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Not just that, he has a song for every activity

He also has a toilet song or 'where the fuck is my food hurry up peasant, I'm starving' song
