Being an adult means realizing that while you love cat-sitting, having an actual cat will not work for you, because OMG, a week and there is so much cat hair! Everywhere!
@oliverandrich@vicgrinberg then get a dog and never wash your floors again 😂 we picked our floors by taking a handful of the pet hair off our floors and sprinkling it over the samples and then picking the one that you couldn't see the hair on very well 😂it's brilliant
This is Kelly. He’s an 8 week old kitten from a local feral colony. I saw him get hit by a truck towing a boat. When he got up from that and ran the rest of the way across the street I helped the woman who was chasing him to catch him. She’s allergic to cats and I’m not. So I’m now responsible for him. He has a broken jaw but is otherwise ok. #catsofmastodon#caturday#caturdayeveryday
All right, I want to ask the folks who love cats and follow the #CatsOfMastodon hashtag a question. Many of you have probably already seen me posting about Ginza, the feral cat I was able to convince to give up being a feral cat and move inside with me.
I've sometimes wondered and I get puzzled by the descriptions on the internet where Ginza is a type of tortie cat? Of course she has tabby markings and stripes on her, but she also has blotches of white. Here are some pics.
It seems Ginza never learned to talk with people through meowing, she probably missed that window of time after being weaned away by her mother and when kittens typically learn that while Mom won't feed them anymore, human beings will feed them if they meow.
A very cute kitty. They are a lot smarter than what most people give cats credit for.
I have a feral cat that I befriended at the start of covid.
She is almost finished training me now and I hope to graduate soon 😂
Completely different way of looking at the fediverse. We were using #dogs and #cats long before Mastodon existed.
Since I have restricted (connections only) search permissions enabled and Mastodon doesn't support OpenWebAuth you'll need to do a signed ActivityPub fetch to find any results at that endpoint; but I assure you it works.
My poor Beanie baby had hives today. This was after her day at the spa… I mean vet. Her welts are still slightly visible. Knowing the provenance of dog allergies is harder to discover than knowing the mysteries surrounding the origin of the Sphinx.
