That's when I played too. Following the rules was torture.

It can go either way. There are some community cats in my neighborhood but also we have one feral rescue in our house who definitely knows our house is home. She goes out a couple times a day and rarely uses a litter box but she always comes right back in. Even if it's a beautiful day and she stays outside longer, she stays right by the house.

Is this AI? Cats would never sleep on a bed lovingly made for them.

This is why my cat knows she can't lay on me. She'll lay on my wife, on my daughter. But she won't even try with me, and I'm the only person she lets rub her belly. She loves me and I love her but I set boundaries.

Yeah I gathered the same. I'm not one to edit comments generally though so I tried to clarify with another comment. At least that one was understood. Thanks.

I'm on the outside edge of Cincinnati, Ohio. My drive to work is curvy hills with high speed limits and it's full of landscaping earth hauler trucks as we have three major landscaping companies between my home and work.

The trucks don't hit bikers on purpose, there's just no shoulder, only a ditch on one side. So if they come around a bend and there's a bike and another big vehicle coming the opposite direction they just can't stop in time and can't use the other lane. I've never actually seen a bike on my commute in over a decade here except a couple of decorated bikes on the side of the road as memorials and one time I saw a pack of 20 bikes on a group ride.

I've lived in Germany and the Netherlands and bike friendly places in the US so I know what it could be. It's just not like that here. Fuck all the downvoters. I don't give a shit about that though, I'm just saying how it is.

As someone who has gardened in the western US and gardened in the east, there is a difference between growing and growing well. Lots of things around here are grown in greenhouses to help mitigate environmental challenges.

Is almost like concentrating so much of our population and our agriculture in the desert is a bad idea. Yeah the weather sucks in my part of the country and the only thing that grows here is corn and soybeans but we have an excess of water.
