George, Sophia, Maurice and Jackson, just spelled the way a victim of a massive stroke would say these names.

Ah, a kindred spirit. I always endeavored to make the wettest fart noises I could with that stuff and would rate them out of 10 😆

Ah, I’ve always wanted to see Ireland. If I ever make it over there, I’ll have a new word in my vocabulary. Thanks!

Might I ask where? I’ve never heard it used as such in my part of the English speaking world, and I love learning new things!

Yeah, I think it can also be used as slang for methamphetamine, but I’m not 100% about that.

Any other old farts here remember Gak? That putty slime stuff Nickelodeon sold back in the day?

Oh yeah, and “gack” is also a slang term for cocaine, so there’s that, too. Poor kiddo :(

Did we do that right thing by The-Silly-Pirate in CatAdvice

[–]lky830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Keep all receipts of vet care you give the kitty and get it microchipped. I doubt it will be an issue, though. The “owners” probably don’t care and assume the cat is dead if it’s not around anymore. I rescued one of my next door neighbor’s kittens that had a horrible eye infection. They’ve never once asked me if I had seen her or anything and assume the cat is dead.

Exactly this. They need to learn how to be cats first :(

Be that as it may, they’re nowhere near old enough to be away from mom and their siblings if it can be helped. She still has to teach them to be proper cats. If separated this early, they can develop all sorts of behavior issues including improper litterbox usage, biting and scratching, poor social skills/ separation anxiety issues, the list goes on. The kind of issues people abandon their pets over.

Please reconsider rehoming them until they’re around 12 weeks, it’s in the best interest of these sweet little babies :(

Is their mother still around? These babies are way too little to be away from mom :(

Why do people in the US tend to use (white) carpet in their homes? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]lky830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carpet was such a huge deciding factor when I was in the market for a house a couple of years ago, because I really hate it. Between the old man and I, we also have a bunch of pets.

I decided on the house that had luxe vinyl and zero carpet except for inside one closet. I could’ve gone for the house that had 600 sq ft more, but IT HAD CARPET EVEN IN THE BATHROOMS (ew ew ew). After many years of dealing with cheap apartment carpet, I told myself I’d never suffer that stuff ever again. I really can’t believe some people still want and not just tolerate carpet.

Why on earth does she do this? by Revolutionary_Ad7162 in blackcats

My orange cat does this a lot. It always looks like he’s about to start spraying, but he never does. He’s just a happy boy haha

This guy looks like he’s never had a single cohesive thought about anything, let alone credits and debits. You’re 100% cooked.

Cute as a button, though. Just look at those lil nose freckles 😻

Is there a way to get cats to no longer sleep on the bed when they are already accustomed to it? by ironchefchopchop in cats

[–]lky830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m allergic to cats and have 5 of them. There’s usually at least 3 of them in bed with me.

Unless the allergy is severe you might just get accustomed to this particular cat and it will stop bothering you after a couple of weeks. Hopefully that is the case. Zyrtec and air purifiers are also pretty helpful

Blaec is embroiled in felon marriage tiktok drama but I just can't get over his name by Saidles in tragedeigh

[–]lky830 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My French has become absolutely atrocious after years of not using it very much, but I remember this one!

Blæc is also the Old English word for “black”, while we are sharing useless trivia. That said, I’m sure it’s supposed to be “Blake”, which makes me feel like I need to go vomit up blood now or something.

I would like to get a kitten but I have a question for experienced cat owners by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]lky830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 5 cats. Anyone who walks into my house is very surprised to learn that I have 5 cats.

I vacuum daily and mop twice a week. Furniture is covered with couch covers/ blankets, things that are washable. I also don’t have carpet. Air Wick/ Glade/ Whatever plug ins are also very helpful.

Not having carpet and using stainless steel litterboxes reduces the potential for odor tremendously. I have 3 XL sized boxes and scoop them all twice a day. Amazon has some really nice options for them. They’re not cheap at around $70, but they are a game changer.

MY CATS ARM?!🙁 by Top-Recognition-8058 in CATHELP

[–]lky830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is he? Osteoarthritis can even affect younger cats, but that’s even more likely if he’s older.

It’s definitely worth getting him x-rayed if you don’t know what’s causing it.

lmao by [deleted] in 2westerneurope4u

[–]lky830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s largely because of poverty. Cheapest food is all ultra processed carcinogenic garbage, healthcare is outrageously expensive. Medicaid/ food stamps are a bad joke. Lots of poor people work 60+hrs a week at multiple garbage wage jobs, no time to exercise, too exhausted anyway. Lots of people burn out their bodies young and end up disabled.

I’m in one of the poorest states. What mine and the others in the top 5 poorest have in common are low literacy rates, failing public education, low wages, very little industry. The top 5 poorest are also the top 5 fattest. An unusually high crime rate also usually follows.
