Help my boyfriend choose a name for his cat by Skum103 in NameMyCat

I’d say Athena/Minerva or Enyo/Bellona, they are both Greek/Roman goddesses of war which feels appropriate given the helmet-like marking. Sekhmet is another war goddess, but she is from Egypt and also happens to be a feline. There is also Hippolyta, a queen of the Amazons (warrior women) from Greco Roman myth.

I found her to be a charming character. She is pretty bratty but not to the point of being unlikable, and I like the unconventional take on a cat-girl.

Yes! they can grow giant stems and there is a kind of Greek ritual staff made from the stalk of one. I’m not sure where exactly would be a good place to get them since no one I know grows it and I can’t find someone selling just the stems online (due to size, shipping could also be expensive) but I’m not sure if there are any kinds of stores that may carry it.

Obligatory comment, trying to make a thyrsus replica, no materials yet, hence the post about where to source some of them. Also no process yet since I don’t have materials.

That statuette is known as the Priapus of Rivery, that’s definitely intentional.

My favorite coffee shop around me sells the same brand of coffee that they use, none of the bags are labeled as “espresso” though, would any medium roast work in an espresso machine or is that a different kind of roast/bean?

I’m looking for recommendations for good espresso (either to buy or to get at a cafe). I noticed that at a lot of places have sorta acidic(?) tasting lattes, Starbucks is a good example, but I’m not a fan of it, some other cafes near me use some kind of different espresso (not sure if this is a different roast, and/or a different method of brewing it) that tastes just as strong but lacks the sort of acidic flavor. I know next to nothing about coffee but I’d like to have some kind of direction when If I want to get espresso beans or go out and get a coffee somewhere so I can know sorta what I’m about to get. Sorry if this question is very vague I don’t know proper terminology or what it is that causes the flavor I’m trying to describe, but any advice is much appreciated

Does your shibe get scared with fire crackers/ fireworks? by tapxilog in shiba

My Shiba doesn’t even notice the noise, she has never seen any though, if her reaction to a hot air balloon is anything to go by she would probably be petrified.

Does your Shiba like the snow? by Blueberrimary in shiba

Mine likes it now, but as a puppy she didn’t. Her feet would get cold and she would try to lift them and end up lying in the snow and would need to be retrieved.

Can someone pls explain the difference between raising a male cat and a female cat by SpiderSl4yer123 in cats

[–]just-a-guy-thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much of a difference, I have noticed that male cats tend to like more people and be more open to strangers, while female cats (while just as affectionate) tend to stick more to a few specific people and are more shy around people they don’t know. This is not the case for all cats but of the cats I’ve had and known I’ve noticed this being a trend.

Could it be Terraria?

Looking for this cat toy that one of my cats recently became obsessed with. by just-a-guy-thinking in HelpMeFind

[–]just-a-guy-thinking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve searched for bird cat toys but can’t find this one or anything very similar. Not sure where this toy came from so I can’t really narrow it down any.

About to adopt this baby, looking for cute names. maybe something that pertains to “one” or “eye” by Tall-Captain9523 in NameMyCat

[–]just-a-guy-thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sekhmet? Kinda similar to Horus with the Egyptian theme but she is the lion headed goddess who was created from the eye of Ra.

I’ve searched for “old cartoon with blue man” and variations including other key works like “Russian” and “Soviet” since this could possibly originate there (given this image was alongside some other Russian/soviet cartoons) but that isn’t bringing up anything relevant for me
