I’m pretty sure my cat is smarter than me and is actively testing the limits of domestic security.
My cat Felix is unbelievably determined and food motivated. He already gets mental enrichment: breakfast comes from a puzzle feeder where he has to dig kibble out of individual holes, and at night he gets three different food balls with measured kibble and freeze-dried chicken or sardines. I rotate them and try to keep things interesting, but none of this seems to slow him down mentally.
He opens the fridge. He opens drawers and cupboards. He’s figured out how to unlock and open the front door. He has opened the oven before. I swear he can turn on the TV, too. And if he can’t open something, he bats it around or chews on it until it breaks open.
Most recently, he opened the fridge, got into a pizza box, STOLE a slice of pizza, and hid it in the bathroom cupboard. I don’t know why. And it was not a fun discovery.
I don’t really have the space or budget for a bunch of elaborate puzzle toys or giant setups, but I might be able to manage one really solid, reusable puzzle if that’s the route to take. Mostly, I just want to know if anyone else has dealt with a little furry burglar that is this persistent and clever, and how you keep them mentally occupied without your home becoming a heist training facility.
im becoming too much of an asshole to go to karaoke any more. im too judgemental of everyone's music taste. i hate country music and i hate the 90s and that's all anyone does. its like legally required that someone has to do that song about fucking up the dudes truck every night. and what kind of person likes flowers enough to sing it in front of people? only stupid people like that song im sorry but it's true. and last time 2 no doubt songs were sung and no doubt has always sucked. i fucking hate nostalgia because all it means is that things that were shitty back in the day are still shitty today. fuck everyone who had a good time in the 90s. i need to find a bar with bitter ass haters like me
why do ppl think they can just show up ~whenever~ to do a task that requires coordination with a specific person, who happens to be out of town and fucking emailed about it days before?!?!??
this is about nothing in particular btw just a general workplace query
my opinion is that any issue that has you handling raw meat is not an "easy" meal not because i'm anti-meat or anything like that but you have to be so much more careful about food safety and washing your dishes
The Yenish (German: Jenische; French: Yéniche, Taïtch) are an itinerant group in Western and Central Europe who live mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland,[3] Luxembourg, Belgium, and parts of France, roughly centered on the Rhineland. The origins of the Yenish are unknown, though a number of theories for the group's origins have been proposed, including that the Yenish descended from members of the marginalised and vagrant poor classes of society of the early modern period, before emerging as a distinct group by the early 19th century. Most of the Yenish became sedentary in the course of the mid-19th to 20th centuries.
When a camera went missing during a shoot in the Arctic circle, the AP crew found it among sled dogs they'd been filming with earlier. A dog had taken it and had also hit record.
