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. 🤮

Nice try making the font size so small that the old folks can't read it!

And burnt your thumb in the process.

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)

I like your profile picture. I think it`s a tougher cat than Esteban`s cat in his profile picture

Just noticed your avatar. Nice. I am always happy to see another cat guy. 👍

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.

I still have the Zippo I used during my Army days.

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.
