I warmed up to Franka in this instalment. Miez is looking well :)

I lean towards skunk. The first thing I noticed in the pic is that I thought the legs and hips were pretty small for a cat compared to the size of the tail (which would indicate a full grown cat, if it were a cat). I did an image search of skunks and learned that their black/white pattern isn’t uniform but varies a lot. The all black tail here is plausibly a skunk’s tail, I think

wasn’t about to try and catch it.

Lol, yeah that’s understandable. Best case scenario: feral cat. Worst case scenario: sprayed by skunk!

It’s neat hearing how Rowena communicates with her gaze/stare. I didn’t know cats could do that. It makes me want to experiment with putting cat treats on a shelf in plain sight of a cat and seeing if with a little training they would use gazing to communicate desire for treats. My last cat knew where the door was (to go outside on a leash) and that the cat treats were in the coffee table. They would hang around, paw at, and gaze/meow at me while adjacent to one of those objects to communicate their desire, either to go out or for treats. Whereas it’s obvious that cats have memory for location (e.g., food, litter), communicating with gaze really intrigues me

What a sweetie! New chill spot found!

You might be able to 2FA via text or phone call. That’s what I do. It’s bad enough I have to BYOD for a laptop. I don’t want MS BS on my personal phone as well

I wonder how much the cats reported on in this thread are interested in smelling human worn objects for the out-of-house smells the objects might pick up versus the smell of their human companions on those objects. We don’t do this much as humans compared to other animals but smelling can be used to identify an individual, and smelling the smell of an known individual who’s a positive relation can be pleasing

If I came across these, I think I’d have to buy one, in solidarity with my favourite social media platform. The peach one sounds yum!

Hardly a rave review :P

I’d say in about 2 years, the entire place is going to be bots with AI generated content that try to mimic “real users” using their new Dynamic Product Ads tool

Yeah, it’s just partially like that now lol. A few weeks ago there was a side-by-side reddit screenshot post on Lemmy. It showed the exact same reddit post, with the exact same tens of comments (all word for word, some in response to each other iirc), from different accounts less than a year apart. 100% fabrication. I’d never seen such extensive bot-masquerading as people behaviour; it was a realization moment for me

The photos of the 3 of them are neat :D
Photo #2, Miez: “WTF, you’re not scritching Luci, are you?!”
Photo #3, Timmy: “Are we doing photos? I was zzzZZzzz”

She’s definitely one of Lemmy’s most clever cats :). Awesome photo!! Her eyes match the green in the carpet, and I love that she’s found the beam of sunlight

streetfestival , 20 days ago

Their eyes look backlit, and remind me of a harvest moon in the night sky. A lovely floof

I wouldn’t know about biggest surprise, but I didn’t see the Red Hot Chili Peppers replacing guitar with keyboard. I really liked what John Frusciante and his predecessors had brought to the group. I went from a deep Peppers fan to not listening to anything post Stadium Arcadium

Alright, new characters in the Miez Universe! Timmy sounds like a good guy. Epic stretch by Miez by the door, doing a 180

streetfestival , 1 month ago

It’s great to hear that Miez is on the mend (recovering). #GetwellsoonMiez!

It sounds like with her trust and safety with you, and her braveness, she’s a very cooperative and well-adjusted cat patient, which must make things a little easier on you

I like the title picture. If she authored a book and there was a picture of the author on the back, that one would work well. If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s her in the same cat hammock in the reddit cats photo that you posted in a comment

That’s got the be among the best painting names out there. A very nice work itself too

Without knowing Israel’s political landscape, I’m inclined to agree, but I don’t think ‘a referendum on our policies’ is part of the right-wing playbook

streetfestival OP , 1 month ago

I think they were being sarcastic, playing with the criticizing Israel’s government = antisemitism nonsense

You nailed the post title. And I love the matching serene, yoga-like background (eg plants)

Hi Charlie! I like how he curls his front paws in that pose

That’s a lot of adversity. Glad Miez is doing better! Franka looks like a real meanie in the last pic

If you are a ‘pro-lifer’ when it comes to abortion, you should be just as passionate about increasing funding for unprivileged children, housing the unhoused, feeding the hungry, etc. Otherwise, your position is inane nonsense

Cats and model trains is my new favourite genre. (The relatively giant kitties is hilarious and cute.) Also, this model set look super realistic in this video

Shrinkflation noobs. Never specify the size of a (pseudo-)prepared product. It’s better to use abstract terms like large, extra large, and jumbo that can be shrunk down in size without increasing legal liability down whenever you wish to juice your profits a bit (/s)

Crap, I use FMovies. If the site is making headlines like this I’m probably going to need another site soon

I was on the subway and saw a mum and her child who looked about 2 in a stroller and with a pacifier in. The child was being entertained by a tablet that she and her mum were controlling. I thought of how many screens that child will interact with throughout her life and how many of those would replace face-to-face conversations with another human that previous generations had
