Life is like that 🤣.

Consider this one: Being tired of surviving in C-Rations, I bought a sandwich
from a Vietnamese just outside our camp gate. It resembled a submarine
sandwich. Decades later I was stunned to learn that the Vietnamese used
dog meat and rat meat. 🤮

Quit plucking. You might lose your hair anyway, no need to help it along.

You're right Esteban, well I can't face reality so that's why I try, either that or its phobia...(probably the latter and not the former *cough)

Thanks Esteban, nice to know you're a cat guy too.

Formerly a proud owner of two scottish folds and now a happy neighbour of an ultra fat grey british male shorthair called Alfie, who doesn't like women apparently and prefers men.

Sounds like my kind of cat. How about posting a pic when you get a chance? If your neighbor wouldn’t mind.

By all means, they don't mind since they rarely keep him inside anyway.

It's been going through a diet on vets' orders but he's what we wake up to every morning over here.

Alfie's a dream. You're lucky to have a cat like that around. He's a real beauty.

Here's our cat. Her name is Sam. She's a 12yo Heinz 57 special that we got from the local shelter when she was 2yo. She's a total inside only cat.

Have had at least one cat all my life. The house would be empty without one. Definitely a cat guy.

There are other pics of her in the pet thread if you're interested.

Sam is beautiful - can't tell she is 12yo from that too. I like her color and the way she sleeps is pretty awesome.

Absolutely agree with you, well I mean I try to treat it as if it were my own and I'd like to think I'm laid back generally, and so he got very comfortable very early on.

I tip my hat off to you for getting Sam from the shelter, because too often owners just desert them for whatever reason. Adopt then buy (if possible)

I'll take a look at the pet thread too.
