My two long boys are getting along. My lady Miez is slowly getting used to the whole foster concept.

Playtime with my foster cats

How dare you get up?

On friday Miez and I welcomed two new foster cats into our home. Meet Samson the void (born ca. 2017) and Ed the one orange brain cell (1 y/o)

  • Advantages of these specific bodies I have:

    • way easier to put on, as the strings cannot be twisted etc.
    • more secure due to the usage of velcro fasteners + only one clip string. At least here, those clip strings are standardized to open at a certain amount of pull applied to it. The goal is that the cat cannot hang itself. Only one clip instead of two means the force doesn't need to pull open two strings at once in the worst case
    • also more secure due to the velcro + clip usage around the neck: I have personally seen a cat that somehow got her front paw into her collar, which caused her not to be able to move and especially not to free herself. Since the clip strings use basically the same principle, I guess this could also happen with them, with the leg causing just not enough pull for it to open. Why does this even matter? Well, from my experience you first need to get your cat used to the harness without attaching the leash. They need to be able to comfortly walk around, say, your whole apartment, before you can use it outside. And this is done best by having it attached for several hours, and not having to watch them every single minute is just way easier.
    • I paid attention to get a body harness that is breathable but still sturdy. My cat has thick furr (due to having some maine coon genes in her). It is a loose mesh instead of tightly nitted.

    Took my cat Miez to stroll through my sister's garden. We were followed by her neighbour's orange brain cell

  • At the time I had three cats: Koda and Miez (brother and sister) plus Lilly.

    Unfortunatly Koda was stressing out Miez due to being a dick, and all measures I took failed, so I had to separate them. Since Koda stole Lilly's heart, and he would never tell but she also stole his heart, I decided they should stay together.

    Luckily a friend of mine's family took them in, so besides getting some pics and vids, I also get to visit and sit them occasionally.

    I also foster cats though. Had only one yet, a beautiful black kitty called Indira, but might get a second one soon.

    Edit: first pic of the three of them added

    Lilly is fascinated by the ferromagnetic sand clock

  • Ja es ärgert die fürchterlich. Hatte neulich nen Bekannten da, der noch vor nem Jahr gesagt hatte, dass die AfD von Nazis unterwandert wurde. N Jahr mehr in seiner Bubble, und auf einmal sind sie keine Nazis mehr, weil Baum. Aber interessant wie er deren Logik wiedergegeben hat.

    Er, mehrfach (nachdem ich schon wusste was kommt und der Frage ausgewichen war): Bist du Deutscher?

    Ich (genervt): ja

    Er: Und, bist du Nazi?

    Ich: Nein

    Er: Aha!

    Die Logik ist halt wirklich so, dass weil Nazis vor 100 Jahren waren, dass es heute nicht mehr Nazis sein können, schon gar nicht in Deutschland!!!11!!elf!!

    Daher bin ich Fan davon, Nazis wie ihn auch Nazi zu nennen, gerade weil er sich so dagegen wehrt. Weil es halt nun Mal das selbe angst- und hasserfüllte Gedankengut ist das sie verbreiten. Diskussion sinnlos.

    Miez is showing off her jumping skills

    cats @lemmy.world

    Miez finally gives the big jump a try

  • Then it clearly isn't somebody else's cat and it is good on you to take care of her. Seriously, people here all butthurt because I'm pointing out that it is not a good idea to feed other people's pets. And even insulting me, such entitled pricks.

    When the cat is not malnurished and in good health then don't feed it. You don't know of allergies or other causes for special food. It is natural for cats to eat mice and birds, but eating other things like tuna can do damage.

    That's not my office chair, it is ours. Good thing I like to stand a lot during wfh so that Miez can have it

    With all of Miez's floof, even 18°C in the sun get too warm quick

    The horses at my vet's office have the best view. Also, I'm prepping for sitting my former cats over easter.

    cats @lemmy.world

    Over easter I will be sitting my former cats, so today I got invited to meet Pünktchen, their latest addition.
