Stupid Pet Peeves

A couple years ago now my wife and I had to put down a cat we got while we were still dating, before our kid was born. The cat was about 22 years old and traveled with us all over, including being a stow away in hotels that didn't allow pets and an apartment building that also didn't allow pets. Actually helped us get out of the lease where we were about to break because just days before we were going to tell them we were going to break the lease they called us in and told us that the cat had been discovered. They said we'd either have to get rid of the cat (not an option for us) or we'd be evicted. We acted like this was a really rough situation all while hiding our giddiness and telling them we just couldn't get rid of the cat. They acted like we were crazy for picking our pet over our apartment. I'm sure they thought we had only recently gotten the cat, even though we had her years before we moved in. We would have pick the cat either way but this saved us the fees involved in breaking our lease.

Anyway, she was blind and had bad teeth but my wife had to talk me into putting her down. The first pet that was mine and not a family pet of my parents and was still with me into my 40s. She was a clumsy scaredy cat that didn't dare go outside and couldn't have killed a mouse if you put them both in a small box but she had fur like a chinchilla and was very affectionate.

Her name was Pandora and I always thought it was funny when it was time to change Pandora's Box

We've had five dogs but finally got a cat two years ago. First we had a black lab and golden retriever and when they passed another golden and a cairn terrier and morkie. Our second golden passed and our cairn and morkie are both 14. I love having a cat. So cool yet so wild. He's affectionate and he's a stone-cold killer. A stubentiger as they say in german, which means room-tiger. We keep him inside but when he gets out he kills something about half the time, even magpies. When he gets that look I gotta be careful because he'll draw blood.

Mom is a maltese/poodle mix. Dad is a shih-tzu. He is a pretty rare breed called malshipoo.

That's gotta be a good mix. Ours was a pom shih-tzu mix. So a pomshit or shitrainian. Ok that's just what I liked to call it, I guess the mix is actually a shyranian. But damn she was such a good dog.

My cat got a mouse last night.
She is a badass but I wonder if she could take down a magpie. That's a pretty robust bird with decent weaponry and attitude.

I think golden retriever is the #1 best dog breed. I will never own one due to the hair though.
I especially like the "red" or "rust" colored ones. So good looking.

One of my neighbours had a golden lab, it was so fat its guts nearly rubbed on the footpath when they took him for a walk. Cute dog tho.

She enjoys mice, rats, possums, She doesn't kill much in the way of birds anymore but she used to. I adopted her as a stray, she used to kill a fair number of birds back then, now, when she can be bothered hunting, she heads next door to my neighbours and slaughters rodents in his chicken coup. The chickens aren't remotely worried about her.

We try to keep him inside, especially at night. If he escapes at night something is gonna die pretty much and when he gets a robin or magpie or any bird I'm like, ****. We've done a good job of keeping him inside for a while now. Supposedly cats kill 1-4 billion birds/ year in the US alone. I was shocked when he got a magpie then he got another one. Cats are just little tigers.




Evidence of magpie intelligence
  • Self-awareness: Magpies are the only non-mammals confirmed to pass the mirror test, which shows they recognize their own reflection.
  • Tool use: They have been observed using tools, such as sticks, to get food.
  • Facial recognition: They can recognize and remember specific human faces for years.
  • Mimicry: Magpies are skilled mimics, able to imitate the sounds of other birds, other animals, and even human speech.
  • Social intelligence: They exhibit complex social behaviors, including teamwork and an ability to recognize and remember individuals who have previously harmed them, notes Reddit.
  • Problem-solving: Research has shown their ability to solve problems, such as working together to remove tracking devices from other magpies.
 
Cats are straight vermin and the most destructive invasive species humans have ever created, hands-down. They should be eradicated as the spawn of demonic scum they are.







But damn if they ain't cute and fun to pet and use a laser pointer to **** with them. Insidious bastards!

Chickens are tough SOB's.

Killing a possum is pretty impressive.

Since I relocated her to my parents house she's basically stopped killing natives. My neighbour has the chickens and with chickens comes rats and mice, she's killed over 20 rats. The only time its been an issue is when my parents nurse left the back door open and I've come home to Fleabag playing with her latest trophy in the kitchen, i had to finish the bastard off with one of dads walking sticks.

That said she's also getting old, cause she's a stray I'm not sure of her age but I'm pretty sure its well over ten, just the way she moves around, no big jumps, she's very careful with her movement and in the last 12 months she's pretty much stopped killing birds.

My neighbours chickens are probably the same size as the cat, she leaves them be, I've also got a large lizard that I'm pretty sure lives in the fernery, the ****er is probably around 16 inches, she stays well away from him too.
 
If jumping the shark was a corporation. Congrats Apple. I'm fresh out of inheritance so I guess I'll have to settle for a measly t-shirt that says, "I'm an idiot"

ISSEY MIYAKE and Apple today unveiled iPhone Pocket. Inspired by the concept of “a piece of cloth,” its singular 3D-knitted construction is designed to fit any iPhone as well as all pocketable items. Beginning Friday, November 14, it will be available at select Apple Store locations and on apple.com in France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S.
iPhone Pocket features a ribbed open structure with the qualities of the original pleats by ISSEY MIYAKE. Born from the idea of creating an additional pocket, its understated design fully encloses iPhone, expanding to fit more of a user’s everyday items. When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents and allows users to peek at their iPhone display. iPhone Pocket can be worn in a variety of ways — handheld, tied onto bags, or worn directly on the body. Featuring a playful color palette, the short strap design is available in eight colors, and the long strap design in three colors.

Availability​

iPhone Pocket is a special-edition release. The short strap design is available in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black; the long strap design is available in sapphire, cinnamon, and black. iPhone Pocket in the short strap design retails at $149.95 (U.S.), and the long strap design at $229.95 (U.S.).
Customers can purchase iPhone Pocket beginning Friday, November 14, at select Apple Store locations and apple.com in France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S. Just in time for the holidays, Apple Specialists in stores and online can help customers mix and match different lengths and colors with their iPhone, style iPhone Pocket, and purchase their new favorite accessory.
