This better not awaken anything in me…

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

Fun fact: cats don't like the last panel in our reality either.

[-] TxzK@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 months ago

But I do tho

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 months ago

Omg Imagine cuddling a giant cat

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 months ago

you can if you go to the zoo

once you've cuddled the giant cat, you will never do anything else anymore!

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago

Yes its that good

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I've seen some cuddly giant cats! They're really only cuddly with their owners though. Like this puma!

[-] CluelessDude@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Is that supposed to stop me?

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again

[-] Otherwise_Direction7@monyet.cc 6 points 6 months ago

Lmao where did this image came from?

[-] loops@beehaw.org 3 points 6 months ago

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again

It's a manga that also has a one season anime. :D

10/10 underrated.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Some people would pay for panel 3.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Ok but if I could have tiny humans chasing a laser around.......wait that just sounds like children.

[-] livus@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago

That second panel is why I always feed cats as soon as they ask.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 months ago

but then they'll ask more and more frequently and get fat

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

@stebo02 no, never had that problem so far, they've stayed healthy weights, but I think it might depend on the cat.

With my cat I had as a kitten we had a policy of cat biscuits and water in her bowls 24/7 so she could snack whenever. Because she was brought up with that setup, she was really casual about it and never overate. It was only at mealtimes she miaowed for wet food.

Come to think of it I did the same for my old rescue after a while but when she got super old she wanted soft/wet snacks a lot. With old cats the challenge is keeping the weight on them.

I feel so lucky I haven't had a cat or dog have issues with free feeding! If I ever had a pet that was a glutton, I'd need one of those timed feeder bowls or I'd constantly forget to do it. Though, I'm sure they would make sure to remind me anyway!

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, as someone with pretty bad ADHD I never forget to feed my animals cause they will make sure to let you know that they are hungry if you do. My dog is a little harder to read but my cat will literally walk up to his food bowl and meow directly at you

[-] livus@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

They do!

My freely fed tortie used to @ me if her kibble got to low tide. I was like, you haven't even eaten it all and she was like no I need a replenished stockpile nooooooow.

but then they’ll ask more and more frequently and get fat

My cat's eating habits seem to keep changing (how fast and how much she eats, and when), but I think I've finally figured out a good way to keep us both happy - weigh out the daily portion in the morning, then split that over morning, afternoon, and evening (or just morning and evening if I forget). That way she's not getting any extra but doesn't eat it all at once then whine at me all day for more, and usually has a little food left in the morning (my "evening" actually being late at night), so she doesn't wake me up as early lol

[-] Blackilykat@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

My cat has a plate we keep full, she eats what she needs and is in good shape. Don't know if this would be the case with all cats though

[-] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I did that with mine, and they made themselves fat. The vet basically made me start feeding them regular meals instead so they'd lose some weight. But I've had other cats before that were fine with just having food out.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

We have two cats. Each about 14 pounds. A little overweight, but not so much that the vet is concerned.

Both get 70 grams of food a day. One gets fed once a day right before bed. His food is left out, out of reach of the other cat. The second cat gets fed at various times throughout the day. Her food bowl is put up when it's not a mealtime.

So far, neither of them are waking us up at night lol

[-] livus@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

@FakeGreekGirl I wonder if it's a personality thing or what governs it.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

Why does litter have a picture of a cat instead of human?

[-] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 months ago

The multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.

[-] nao@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

The roles are reversed, the equipment stays the same.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I guess it's for the cat people even though they use flush toilets?

I don't see a handle on that toilet, so it might not be a flush toilet.

[-] darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org 4 points 6 months ago

Who is this cartoonist? Do they have a website?

[-] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago

I wasn't actually sure, so I did a reverse image search, and it looks like the artist is Hannah Hillam.

I think I'm in love with her stuff.
