It was moving at the time of the photo. They poop, it turns over, and these two are utterly mesmerized by it.

They'll come tearing ass from another room if they hear it just to watch.

 

Is this the same as watching your own poop flush down the toilet?

Maybe half of one, tops.

 

The guy on the right? That's Thorin. He's 12 years old, and a wonderful cat. He's annoying sometimes, but he's also incredibly sweet and patient. Great with kids and strangers.

The guy on the left is our latest addition. He's probably about a 1½ years old, but we don't know because he was feral. He randomly showed up in our yard about 8-10 months ago. The first time he didn't scurry away after my wife stuck her hand out, he bapped it. So she calls him Bam Bam. But she also spelled it "Bamm." So I decided his full name is: Jean Clawed Van Bamme Bamme.

I think she hates it lol

She had been wanting to bring him in. My stipulation was that he be neutered before that happens. So on the 18th, we got him neutered. We weren't sure if he'd stay inside or if he'd be a TNR. To be safe, we did get his ear ticked. We just needed to keep him indoors and separated for a couple days.

But he adjusted to indoor life so well that I'm pretty sure he'll be living inside on a permanent basis. He's kinda shy, but really sweet. Thorin picked one fight with him, lost, and has been sweet on him since. I guess he finally realized he's old as dirt. We checked them after. Everyone was fine, just bruised egos. Our other cat, Izzy (age 9 years, female, calico, medium long hair with a lion cut, smelly), is anxious and hates strangers, and she's been nice to him since he came in.

So anyway, now I feel bad for the ear tick. It just made him pointlessly asymmetrical.

But he's still really cute.

He'll need a little more time, but I think he'll lower those walls sooner or later.

One of my favorite movies that my wife refuses to watch with me because it always makes her cry.

I mean, me too, but it's good to cry every now and then.

I present a similar picture of my Thorin.

He got brushed, and I put the hair on his head.

It's not the cub scratching your face that's what you need to worry about.

 
 

I got out of bed at 5:15. Thorin spends most of his nights sleeping on the couch these days. So when I get dressed, I turn on the lights in the living room, and as soon as I do, he starts squeaking at me. He's such a sweet dude.

I took this in 2016, and I think it's still my favorite picture of him.

He's so chill. Nothing bothering him. That's who he's always been.

 
 

But not for his food.

He is always getting into trouble. He's 11 years old, and while age has slowed him down some, it's not made him less curious.

I hope not. We already have a serious mouse problem as it is.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course. He headbutts everything though so it's nothing special

He LOVED the box.

This was more of a one-off. My wife wanted the projector for other projects, but she was testing it out here. We usually throw these vids up on the TV, which is just out of reach for the both of them. But the TV is only 65". The projection was probably close to 12' diagonally.

Anyway, to answer your question directly, none.

Still rocking my Nintendo Wii! I mostly play GameCube games on it, but I do have Brawl, Mario Kart, Skyward Sword, and Galaxy 1 & 2. For GameCube, I have Sunshine, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, NFS Underground 1 & 2, Double Dash, Thousand Year Door, Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Burnout.

It's also got Homebrew so I play SNES on it too. Been running Earthbound lately. I loved Undertale, but all this time, I've never played Earthbound, despite knowing about it for the last 20 years. I even snagged NES Monopoly, which is the only way I could get my wife to play Monopoly with me lol

Anyway, I needed batteries for my keyboard and it takes some 8 hours to charge them (good old nickel batteries, hey?) so I robbed the batteries out of my Wiimote. I need to put them back already.
