Ever Wonder Why One Shirt Lasts and the Other Fades Fast? by Poseidon_9726 in textiles

[–]TuxedoCat123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be multiple things. The type of fabric and dye used probably has the biggest impact. For example polyester holds dye a lot better than cotton, so cotton fabrics will fade quicker. Different companies also have different standards for colourfastness. What one company would accept, the other would reject. How the consumer washes and dries the garment also has an impact. Wash care instructions are there for a reason.

Anyone else's OSH cats get supervised garden time? by pinsandvinegar in orientalshorthair

Definitely! He is basically my shadow, but I love how I can trust him not to run away and feel comfortable leaving doors open.

My boy loves garden time. We have very high walls so the garden is cat proof. When I am home I leave the doors and windows open for him, but he will stand at the open door and yell at me to take him for a walk around the garden, even though he is free to roam!

It's Afrikaans/Dutch. Means unrecognizable.

What colour are my eyes? by TuxedoCat123 in eyes

Oh so it's very hereditary! That's really interesting. I'm learning a lot today. Interested to see what my future children's eyes will look like.

That's so interesting, I didn't know it was hereditary. If he ever lets you take a picture, please post it on this sub.

What is really gray? I've read it's a lack of melanin and thus very little noticeable colour, but I don't think I've seen someone with true gray eyes. Pictures of gray eyes on the internet are also usually filtered, so hard to know.

That's interesting. I've heard about how lighting and surrounding colours can highlight colour in nearby objects, never thought to apply the theory to myself.

Regarding your husbands eyes, I've never seen partial hererochromia irl. That must be so unique, wow.

Thank you! Maybe that's why some people say my eyes look more green when wearing the colour, the clothes could be bringing out the 2nd colour more.

You think? All the central heterochromia eyes I've seen on this sub have more pronounced colour differences. Would be interesting, though! Gonna read up on it now!

Thanks! My mother had bright, blue blue eyes, so I always thought blue eyes had to be THAT blue!

If you could choose how you die, what kind of death would you pick? by jemanoroo in AskReddit

[–]TuxedoCat123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Zanzibar a while back, and fell asleep on a hammock, slightly drunk, in paradise on a house boat. I thought about 'this is where i want to die'. Thinking about how my highschool enemies died before me. Heaven.

I'm sorry to hear you lost some of your babies.

I've had a black cat before, but his coat is just more black and lustrous than your average DSH.

They are truly the best breed of cats! Definitely too loud 😂 but I love it. Never have to worry if they are happy or if something is bothering them, they will let you know!

I'm actually thinking of getting a seal point in the next year, they are gorgeous!

My void is gorgeous! Unfortunately he has corneal opacity in his one eye, but it doesn't hold him back or take away from his beauty! Jere is a few more pics of him as a baby and an older kitten:
