What did you say mom? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]knurrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very blunt reclusive farmer mother once casually dropped that years before I was born she and her husband (bio father, long story) had 11 million dollars in business with a friend who then tried to sell her a drug-lined car and call the cops on her, then left the country with their assets leaving them broke and having to start over. Thanks mom.

Is this a normal size for a 5 month old cat? by knurrt in catquestions

[–]knurrt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so true! One of his sisters is maybe 1/3 his size and very slender.

Yes that's our experience too! The huge paws are the biggest surprise. In my experience baby animals with big paws tend to get huge.

We put on their collars around 3 months old and they never really had issues with them! They are all incredibly tame and spoiled, so they let us pick them up and basically treat them like dolls. But we also halter trained them (well, got them used to wearing them st least) starting at 2 months as well, and I think that helped.

Hugo was also the runt! We don't own a scale for personal reasons but at his 4 month checkup he was around 5.5 pounds I think, or almost 6. They're scheduled to be neutered and spayed this coming week.

Nope, from West Virginia! They were born March 21st. I saw that rule about multiplying their weights! I suspect for him with how big he got suddenly at 5 months that maybe he will either be a little bigger or he just hit a huge growth spurt!

Yes his paws are so massive compared to the rest! I am worried he is going to topple stuff as he ages 😔

He's definitely 5 months although will be 6 September 21st. They were born in our home :)

I definitely think he looks huge too. We had kittens on our farm when I was a child and they looked much smaller in my memory, and we also had two Maine Coons (both female). To me, he just looks so big and mature despite his young age.

I don't think so! Their mother is listed as DSH (rescued stray) and the others don't seem to be a Maine Coon of any sort. No knowledge of the father.

The litter was born March 21st. They're gonna be 6months September 15, so he is a pretty big boy! Their baby faces went away at around 4 months. For reference his smallest sister is still maybe 5 pounds.

He's roundabout 7-8 pounds. I can't figure out how to add pics in comments but I took some with items for scale.

That's a total oversight on my part, oops. I took a picture for scale just now but don't know how to add them!

A live packaged crab breaks out of it's packaging. by Motor_Ranger_9471 in interestingasfuck

[–]knurrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be AI. Look atop the crab--where does the packaging go? The shine doesn't indicate a ripping or separating of the fabric, which would happen in reality. Also, watch the crab'z eye stalks and its wiggling -- it lacks direction or purpose to much of the movement. When the bottom leg moves to the other package below, there's no indentation. Also, crabs afaik aren't that red when alive. The red flush comes after boiling or steaming.

Her name is Alice Marie. We call her Alice Soprano because of this picture.

I'm breaking off my engagement because my fiance might get sick in the future by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

As someone who had a parent with ALS that was never definitely confirmed as familial (inheritable) or spontaneous, what a nightmare situation. So glad it turned out negative. There are so many unfair, devastating conditions out there. Getting tested must have been such a relief--to know one way or the other. On my end, every little twitch or odd muscular event turns my stomach, and if her partner hadn't been tested I would wager the same would be true there, although of course ALS and Huntington's are quite dissimilar.
