Gotta tuck the snoot

Def bring it up with the vet. When my cat started going outside of the box, it was because she had a nasty kidney infection.

Edit: also "randomly when I step away," do you mean if you're travelling? She might be stressed because she misses you and she's lonely.

Our cat doesn't respond to catnip but she does respond to silvervine!

I don't think it's the classic catnip response (which I assume is because of her genes) but she gets more playful and her pupils enlarge... for a few minutes and then she just wants to take a nap 😂

And from me please give her a lil forehead scritch, thanks

Yeah I've been seeing this for a few months now.

My workaround is to upvote threads I've read, since it's doing a better job of remembering what I've voted on.

Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁

Scout

Who 99% of the time is Scooty.

She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)

(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)

We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet

~~I'll add a picture when I get another break from work~~

Edit: pic tax

Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag

Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant

"Helping" me work from home

What's Boris hanging out on top of? I'm intrigued ~~but~~ by the shape lol

Also, love a girl cat with a classically male name. I had a roommate with a fat orange cat named Leroy. Leroy was a girl 😁 (Leroy was also a big sassbutt.)

  1. Get off your high horse of weed being healthier than prescription medication.

  2. I'm not a doctor (but clearly neither are you) but I doubt you actually have ADHD... Weed exacerbates my ADHD symptoms. Attempting to treat my disability with weed would NOT work for me.

  3. Let's say you're correct and you do have ADHD and vaping a sativa strain really does help you. Well everyone is different and not every medication or treatment program is going to be a solution for everyone (for any condition, not just ADHD.) So either way, gtfo of here with the attitude that weed is the only solution anyone could possibly need and all of us are just victims for thinking otherwise.

I think state regulations might vary. Where I am, every three months I HAVE to have an appointment to get a refill prescription for my Adderall. But fortunately my psych is still doing virtual appointments, which is a lot less disruptive to my workday.

 

I'm really just here for the memes y'all

I don't think lemmy.world would be a good home for 196 so I'm glad that onehundredninetysix was created. But I haven't yet been convinced to abandon ship on the original 196 yet and unsubscribe. (Insert Mean Girls "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school" scene playing in my head...)

Anyway when I'm scrolling through my feed, the posts from both communities are labeled as coming from "196" even if they're coming from onehundredninetysix. I have to click into the post and then to the community to tell which it's coming from.

Which is all to say: no one call me a traitor for enjoying a meme regardless of which community it's posted in, okay? I otherwise followed the rule. Thanks

 

I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.

 

This is Scooty, sometimes known as Scout. She's currently 11 years old and was 9 in this photo. She's a bit of a dingdong and we love her very much. Please enjoy this giant blep.
