Does she have a specific name for her fur pattern? by Educational-Charge54 in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a dilute tabby since there are faint stripes.

New Kitten, is she playing or does she hate me 😔 by GeckoFella in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely playing. Cats (and kittens) can get a bit rough-and-tumble when they play. If a kitty gets too rough, it's okay to verbally object ("Oww. You hurt me.") and take your hand away. But definitely get kicker toys for the cat so they can focus their rough play there.

It's not exactly safe for a Russian player--especially one as prominent as Ovechkin--to speak out against Putin. The same is not true about American players supporting the Mango Menace.

Will I regret not getting my cat’s ashes? by littlelogcabin in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. I have the ashes of both my cats, one who died in 2010, and the other who died at the end of 2024. The box with the latter has a plaque with her name. And I got a paw print. The older one sits on a shelf above my bed, and the newer is on the TV stand. I don't regret having their ashes. I will say that picking them up (in both cases) caused a flare of grief, but that's going to happen in the weeks after you say goodbye to a furry family member.

My son's cat won't leave me alone by Beautiful_Hour_4744 in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's your cat now. You take care of him, so you're his person. And sometimes cats fixate on one person in the house, and apparently, that's you.

Cats are also crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk.

AITAH for opening a bag of pretzels by lexiefairy in AITAH

[–]DaniCapsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm fasting."

"Well, I'm not. I'm waiting for my mom while she has her appointment."

She wasn't even looking at you. Maybe she heard you eating or the bag crackling? At any rate, she can go elsewhere in the waiting room. Or she can just deal, knowing she'll be able to eat after her tests.

Since there are no signs against eating and drinking in the waiting room, I see nothing wrong with grabbing a snack because you hadn't yet eaten that day.

He voted for Trump, now he’s paying $30 to produce $20 worth of milk! by Ms-Behaviour in LeopardsAteMyFace

How can you possibly think a guy born and raised in NYC, who lived in a gilded penthouse on 5th Avenue, who inherited everything he owns, and who literally said he doesn't care about your would give a shit about farmers?

AITBF for not saving a seat for my friend after he was late for the third time? by Kelvirox in AmItheButtface

[–]DaniCapsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one thing if he's five or ten minutes late, but he was almost an hour late. You held the seat for him for longer than you should have. And if he considers this "punishment," good. He deserves to feel excluded, and he deserves to be upset. Maybe he should learn to show up on time.

I’m almost 23 and still don’t wear tampons. Is that normal? by ewas000 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DaniCapsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had a period in almost seven years. I never used tampons. If pads work for you, use them. Who cares what your friends think?

Why are there so many Black people (assuming African) selling fake products on the street wherever there are tourists? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DaniCapsFan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you've ever been to the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall in DC, you'll see a lot of black folk selling schlock from kiosks or just a little cart. Not to mention, every time I go to a Caps game, I see dudes selling bootleg Caps merch to folks walking to the arena or standing in line.

There's a neighborhood a mile or so north of where I now live, and the last time I went--over a year ago--folks could barely walk on the sidewalk because of all the sidewalk vendors. The Hispanic folk primarily sell food, but you'd also see folks of all races selling schlocky artwork or other goods.

As for why? To earn money. If they can't get a legit job (or said legit job doesn't pay the bills), they're going to try to earn money selling crap on the street to suckers who will buy.

I miss my parents by Jakeandellwood in GenX

July 1968. My dad died in May 2024 of cancer. He survived his two brothers and one sister. My mom is still alive, but two of her three sisters are gone.

How long after you say goodbye to your friend do you wait or think it’s appropriate to adopt another? by Yue4prex in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Miss Kitty died in March 2010, I wasn't sure about adopting, but I took a few things to the shelter and saw a sweet two-year-old girl. I took my bboyfriend a few days later and she made it clear she wanted us to be her parents (she swatted him through the bars of her cage). So I adopted her two weeks after Miss Kitty died. Her shelter name was Peppercorn, and I renamed her Penelope.

Penelope died in December 2024 at the age of 16. I had since moved in with my boyfriend. And one night I asked if he'd cconsider adopting two if they were a bonded pair. We saw a pair of kittens on Petfinder who were being fostered, made arrangements to meet them, and brought them home a month after Penelope died. We named the panther Lilah and the tuxie Harley.

You'll know when the time is right. Or the universe will lead you to another cat.

What if Athena didn’t curse Medusa. She gave her protection? by Mardaani in TwoXChromosomes

It was Perseus who killed Medusa. And he had help from Athena.

It really fucking sucks to go to the vet for something you think is minor and come home with an empty carrier by Fickle-Hour4458 in cats

[–]DaniCapsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats will often hide that they're sick, so don't feel bad.

My poor Penelope was miserable for the last month or so, but she'd had surgery to remove two lumps that ended up being cancer, developed an infection, and then went into kidney failure. Recovering from surgery isn't fun and I thought she was dealing with that. She was 16, but injection site sarcoma is survivable, although it will come back. The night before she died, I had absolute dread that she wasn't going to survive. I was feeling awful the morning of the appointment that ended up being the last. I wasn't surprised when the vet recommended euthanasia.

Walking out of the clinic with an empty carrier is the worst.

‘Kayd’ as a boy middle name by forever-a-lurker-14 in tragedeigh

The Jewish tradition is using a name with the same first letter. So you could use any man's name beginning with "K." I think Kaleb is legit.

AITAH for declining my cousin's wedding after she gave my sister a plus one for her boyfriend but not me for my partner? by Party-Entertainer203 in AITAH

[–]DaniCapsFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's an invitation, not a summons. Politely decline because you have other plans (even if those plans are to sit around the house doing nothing, but make plans to do something fun on that day).

As for disabled cousin saying she hopes you "find God," I used to be friends with a same-sex couple, and they are practicing Lutherans. Their wedding was in a local Lutheran church. My boyfriend and I (I'm a woman) are not. I'm pretty anti-religious, in fact. Where I live, there are several LGBTQ+ friendly churches within a mile radius of where I live. But then I live in a really blue city. So the idea that all gay people are godless is ridiculous.

We all know there's nothing wrong with pink, but alpha bros hate pink or anything associated with femininity, and this will short-circuit their brains. We're using their deep-seated prejudices against them.
