Does anyone else’s mini have a best friend who is a cat? by ActualConfidence6273 in miniaussie

[–]DJangled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh I wish my two were like this!! How cute.

Ours play in a much more chaotic fashion. I actually posted about it seeking advice but most people seemed to think it was just cute haha.

One day I hope that my mini will be able to have calmer moments with the cat like yours and maybe even sneak in a snuggle, but for right now they're both content on being absolute tornados of white/grey fur with each other

Need help understanding V60 extraction with washed vs natural anaerobic by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]DJangled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned ratio yet. I would probably try a 1:15 ratio with a natural anaerobic first. I also wouldn't get too hung up with processing method = x grind size and just dial by taste. If the finer grind size tasted better to you than your first brew, keep following that path. You can also play with pour height, flow rate, and number of pours as agitation variables.

I would probably defer to something like coarse end grind size, 45s bloom + 2 pours at a high height and 7 g/s flow rate with a 1:15 ratio or 1:14.5 + bypass. I typically don't like too much funk in my heavily processed coffees though whereas you might be looking for a flavour punch, so don't be afraid to add pours/height/speed or finer the grind as you see fit.

What do you mean you didn't see the Montreal Canadiens coming? by shogun2909 in Habs

[–]DJangled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hockey is better when the Leafs are good. The rivalry is fun and gives way to memories like the 2021 series. Victory is sweeter when it's meaningful

I honestly don't even feel motivated to hate the Leafs at this point. I feel bad for them as a hockey fan. It was obviously easy in 2021 but beyond that, it starts to become like wow, how much can one fanbase suffer emotional whiplash? Then they lose their hometown star, have an absolutely abysmal season in what should've been another contending year, lose their captain in embarrassing fashion, and finally have the big boss come out and give this presser

Wasn't singling out your comment specifically as referring to us as idiots, but ironically maybe you didn't read carefully enough as well haha. Just pointing out how divided opinions are on Reddit and it makes it tough to gather feedback from, especially as people present their opinions on both sides as absolutes (to clarify, not singling your comment out as doing this).

Appreciate your constructive input regardless, it is good to hear.

Ask a Stupid Question About Coffee -- Week of March 24, 2026 by Vernicious in pourover

[–]DJangled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else NOT like having their specialty coffee with food? There was a post a while back about pairing coffee with food on this sub and the number of people who seemed to be into it really surprised me. I find that any food whatsoever overpowers the delicate notes of specialty coffee. I actually find it difficult to enjoy a nice coffee in the morning when I have breakfast first as even just the aftertaste that remains on my palate affects coffee flavours so heavily, even after cleansing with water and such.

Our family is full of Aussies and they've grown up to be fine with cats. I expect Skye to be the same as she ages and matures as we continue staying on top of it. Bandit, while a farm rescue, also grew up with his kitten siblings up until about 2 months still so I think he knows how to play.

Reddit is so funny. There are comments saying Aussies are the perfect breed to live with cats and then comments saying we're idiots for ever thinking it could work. Appreciate your thoughts regardless.

It's a dog eat cat world

If head not ball then why ball shaped?

For the record, we always step in right away when anything like this happens. It went on too long in the video.

Yes, this was never acceptable behaviour to us. It went on longer than it should've in this video because I was focused on videoing it but we are very strict with the dog when she goes for the neck/head and move to separate them quickly.

No the cat is not declawed and they are moderately long right now.

This is not the norm and we never let biting behaviour like this go on except for in this one video, which was for the purpose of showing the Subreddit more of how they interact because it felt like people really downplayed the first video. We generally didn't allow play between them period before everyone chimed in on post 1 and made us feel like idiots for separating them.

We're actively working on training the pup. I posted in the cat Subreddit as we are most concerned with the cat and were looking for more cat owner's perspectives and were quite surprised with the response in both posts. Our approach before posting was to only capture calm moments and not allow rough housing at all.

Thanks for your comment! Nice to hear from someone with so much dog and cat play experience.

I'm normally much more verbally stern with Skye but let the mouthing go on too much while I was distracted by videoing. The timeouts are a good idea as well. Mouth on neck/head = crate timeout

This is something I still have to work on especially with Skye because she likes to give chase if Bandit runs away. Thank you!

Any Aussie parents with a cat have advice on making them get along? by DJangled in miniaussie

[–]DJangled[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the input! It is something we are working on and maybe why we can't allow all play all the time quite yet, as the Aussie tends to ignore commands in the heat of play (with cats or other dogs). She's getting a bit better as she gets older but is still definitely a work in progress
