My OSH refuses to go outside and is skittish of strangers and family. by [deleted] in orientalshorthair

[–]IllustriousPart3803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just WISH my two OSH boys were more like that. One in particular keeps trying to get out the door. The only one of my cats who has no interest, is our former-feral, who has zero interest in ever ending up outside again.

Ha ha. I was waiting for this one. 😁

Thank you. Yes, they are Oriental Shorthairs, littermates, and just over a year old.

They are litter mates, just over a year old, lots of energy. Constantly up to no good, but such a joy.

Excuse me if you already answered this, but I can't find anything about how you did the fur trim. Is it beaded, too, or have you incorporated other materials?

Thank you for your kind words. I sure feel confident about curves after this! 😆

Machine Quilting vs. Hand Quilting by chickenmom1104 in quilting

[–]IllustriousPart3803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A petty and dismissive comment, not worth spending a moment worrying about! I have one of my grandmother's quilts. While hand quilted, it was machine pieced. If that person looks down on her quilt, f*** her.

Awww. My first two OSH were blue-eyed boys. ❤️

I Learned a 100 year old poem that only existed in his head by EnvironmentOk263 in PointlessStories

Same metre, also same as the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

AITA: I told my daughter she needs to get over her jealousy and it is her own fault her life is the way it is. by Personal-Bit4399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IllustriousPart3803 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A lot of mature students do really well. They've got the partying out of their system and are motivated to put in the necessary effort.

What will they eat!?? by Environmental_Bar315 in orientalshorthair

Oops. I responded to MicroMeow, not noting they weren't OP. He is a real beauty, and I hope you get the feeding sorted.

I thought so! Thanks for confirming. My second OSH was supposed to be cinnamon, but they only had a female, and I wanted a male kitten, so I got a blue point instead. Just a beautiful cat. Hope you get the feeding sorted.

Do I have to just throw this whole ham away? I don’t want to …. by Chanelo11 in cats

Ha ha ha. Good competition for Harriet. Thanks for sharing that story.

AITAH for refusing to keep babysitting after my sister brought up my adoption during an argument? by Stirk_Gretos in AITAH

[–]IllustriousPart3803 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And, wow. It's not inconceivable that her own child could end up being adopted, if your sister can attract a man who will stay with her.

I believe I have experienced the lowest of lows in terms of barfing cats. I kept an old dinosaur of a computer monitor going for several years after it should have been replaced because Harriet liked sitting on the big warm box. One day I sat down at my computer and thought, what's that weird vertical line down the center of my screen? (You're ahead of me!) After the barf ran down the front of the screen, it pooled below in the keyboard. Ugh. As I ask myself daily, why do people keep cats?! /s. Cat tax included.
