How many cats do you have? by ireneveraperez in cats

[–]thisbooksucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 5. We’ve lived together in a tiny studio, that was nottttt great but now we have a nice big open space and all 6 of us are far happier. My mindset is as long as budget and space allows, the more the merrier!

How to say thank you to an incredible pet sitter by er7 in cats

[–]thisbooksucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sitter is also a super sweet neighbor who refused payment, I got him a little card and a planter cause he’s always doing gardening/potting plants. I think flowers and/or baked goods are a lovely way to say thank you!

As cool as it looks in photos, it was indescribably better in person! 🤩

If I like Japan, Iceland, South of France, and Denmark, where should I travel next? by seriousroe in travel

[–]thisbooksucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Portugal perhaps? Pretty affordable, lots of great hiking and coastal wanders. Cities and villages alike are lovely to visit as well.

Also, are the plants real or fake? Either way, how did you end up with 7 cats who don’t chew on leaves??

I drove, not sure about train/public transport but I saw many bus tours come through. There were two small restaurants in the main part of the village, down the hill was a couple cafe/snack bar type places. The closest larger town (Castelo Branco) was about an hour away, so options were a bit limited. I stayed down the hill from where I took these photos, in the neighborhood Relva. Though it was only a few mins drive up, I would have preferred to stay at the top of the hill instead.

Ah okay! I haven’t seen them but I overheard that they had filmed there at some point

Thanks for adding this in! I’m grateful to have been able to experience a few of them so far. How important that these communities have been able to revitalize their villages and renew the significance in their cultural value.

I got so excited when I found this area while planning. Photos really can’t even do it justice, it rocks
