I'm male, but i also live this life, although the more cats you have, the less big the pile of money gets.

Only needed one to pay thousands in vet and special food costs...

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thousands? Have you checked prices of the human vet and human special food?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Human "vets" are usually free...?
And human medicine is surprisingly typically cheaper than animal medicine

Looks like one of my cats.

Her pile of loose cash looks so sloppy.

[–] SchadeMarmelade@feddit.org 13 points 2 weeks ago

Like she fucking cares.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

And she has Siamese!

In jealous and very sad having recently lost my second Tonkinese in a year (siblings adopted from a shelter in 2013).

As a cat daddy with 4 kittens 3 months old running around and the other 2 cats looking at all this bullshit.. Yeah I feel this.

My husband and I are celebrating our 1 y/o cat recently becoming comfortable with the cat wheel we got him, even going full tilt on it on his own 😌 We’re very proud of his accomplishment!

My wife and I just got an upstairs cat tree for our timid (but simultaneously loves to play and is very cuddly at night) rescue cat so she can better assert her dominance over those pesky outdoor birds. Safely inside of course.

Yay! My cat bravely pounced at (safely inside the glass door) and startled away a pair of these today! So brave!

Tell him I’m proud of him too!

Pls pay your cat tax.

I'm thinking about getting one, you want to share the brand?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

We bought an unbranded version off Alibaba, it works just the same as the branded ones and was a lot cheaper. But the trade off was the first one they sent was smashed to pieces in transit and took like 3 months to sort everything out, which was a huge PITA. So I would go that route if you’re willing to wait/communicate with the Chinese manufacturer if they don’t pack it securely and it gets smashed, and if you value your time more than I do I would get a branded version.

At first glance, I thought this was someone grabbing a handful of wall insulation.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

I don't recommend using cats as wall insulation

Don't ask me how I know

[–] SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

I had to look at it 3 times. All i could see was insulation 😆

That's not even flat. This data is worthless.

If they state an error margin of +-2 cm, I may allow it.

I'm aware that nobody asked, but here are pictures of my cats.
