Nah, just duct-tape something flexible and non-scratchable over the gap. Attach this picture nearby for when people ask why.

Garfield-level lifehack.

Yeah, they more like swat at their ears. I've seen an adult cat do this to another when they did something they didn't like.

Dang, you keep quality snacks on hand! I hope we're all invited to the next party at your place!

I've been told it's acceptable to flick a cat's ears (gently, obviously) because that's what a mama cat does to her kittens when they do something dumb. Any opinions on this?

Is there like a specific instance of her doing something?

I've read the following arguments:

  • her humor is bland, Cathy-level stuff. I like !garfield@lemmy.world so I'm not exactly an expert on humor, but fwiw I like her art style and I find her strips funny more often than not. That sort of thing's subjective anyway.
  • she had reddit comics-strip mods delete any critical comments about her. Yeah, reddit sucks, that's why we left, I dunno if it's fair to blame her for that.
  • she supported reddit during the API protests. I kinda disliked her for a while because of this, HOWEVER since then she's done a lot of anti-MAGA comics (most recently like this, this, and this) so I think she's cool bc that's a far more important issue, and I'm not gonna be hung up on reddit forever.
  • in her strip she sometimes makes fun of people who criticize her. I see this kinda like a stand-up comedienne dealing with hecklers, i.e. it's part of the show, and good on her for not taking shit from people. But some people apparently think this is inappropriate. Others assume that her "hecklers" are sexist, insecure, etc and that creates even more defensiveness. Not sure if there's an easy solution to this.

aw, be nice. OP might be a kid, might not have a lot of money for a vet, might not realize that cats can be in a fair amount of pain before showing it, etc.
