You think that's crazy, try being in the same house as a cat when you're tripping on psychedelics. They know when you've entered their realm, and the cheeky little bastards like to take advantage of that fact.

I had this one cat that was a normal cat when I was sober, but liked to pop in and out of existence whenever I was on 25i/2c-e/LSD/etc. This one time I hear him meowing from across the house; I turn towards the sound, and suddenly he's rubbing against my legs and purring. Reach down to pet him and he's gone. It was some seriously freaky shit.

If they're an indoor cat, buy a cat harness and take them on a walk. Preferably one with a long leash.

Do not try to walk them like a dog; that will never work.

Cats are fiercely independent; try to force them in a particular direction and they'll protest. Let them lead the way.

If they try to go somewhere dangerous, simply stand in place and do not allow them to progress any further. Do not tug, they will eventually get the message on their own.

Be prepared to spend a half hour minimum outside, ideally an hour or more. Cats like to take their time on a walk.

I keep telling my girlfriend this but she doesn't listen. "I see her drinking her water all the time!", she says. Yeah well she'd drink a lot more if you moved her water bowl!

It frustrates me so much because kidney failure is extremely common in cats due to low water intake. She claims that she loves her cat so much yet refuses to research this shit.

Meanwhile I have two water fountains for my kitty—both far away from the food—and let him drink from sink anytime he wants. She never lets him because he gets in the way of her "skincare routine", but I am of the opinion that you should never pass up on an opportunity for your cat to drink more water.

I wish I had even 1% of this talent, but my brain is perpetually starved of dopamine so I never have the drive pursue my hobbies. So I'm forced to get my dopamine from artificial sources. But then that eventually stops working too, which makes things even worse.

The top half

The reset button is located directly under the base of the tail. Push it and your cat will instantly reset to the upright and attentive position.

Thanks for the update. One last question, to settle an argument with the wife: do you hand wash the containers, or stick them in the dishwasher? And if it's the dishwasher, what temperature do you wash your dishes at?

Didn't actually expect you to do this; nice. Thanks for your contribution to science.

I don't recognize the bottom two but the top container looks just like one of mine. They definitely redesigned it, cause if I tried that on mine, the top would have fallen right off and the contents would be on the ground.

I also have the OXO ones. A different brand is shown in the picture but they're all garbage.

If yours are sealing well, then maybe they recently redesigned the lids. I bought my set in 2021. Do a test for me: take one that is filled with something and then tip it upside down and shake while the lid is sealed. Then report back with the results.

I have those same containers. Spent hundreds on an entire set.

Worst gimmick I've ever wasted money on. The lids do not seal at all; hell, they barely stay on. Never again.

Move out if you haven't already, that way you can freely call her out on her bullshit all you want without consequence.
