  • No, it’s cool, I didn’t interpret it that way. I get it and I understand it, but I wrestle with having had this cat since 2014 at this point, knowing what he’s like and where he came from, and it definitely conflicts with guidance I’ve read, but he’s healthy and great weight and active when he goes out, and so here we are.


  • Yeah, I know, but he was a steet cat until my wife scooped him up, he was about three then, and it was very hard to take the street cat out of the street cat. The alternative, as you can tell, becomes locking him in a basement, which isn’t a great alternative to me.



  • My house is almost 100 years old, and so I hear my cat when he’s coming up the stairs, and I get robbed of the extra 60s before he just starts meowing. He’s an old man now, 15 or so, and so he spends the nights inside now, and he’s not a fan. He will come upstairs anytime between 1145 and 230 in the morning and just start meowing, loudly, and I have a wife and two kids and I need them all to stay asleep, so poor Bruce Willis gets locked in the basement.

    Sometimes it’s right as I turn my light off when I’m done reading, and I lay my head on my pillow, he just rolls in. Sometimes I’m fast asleep and he does it. But five nights a week, at least, he needs to wake me up, and he goes to the backdoor, so the farthest place from my spot in bed, because he thinks he’s going outside, and then I pick him up and put him in the basement. He will never learn.







  • Yeah, so I hit the grocery store two or three. Times during the week, usually getting stuff for dinner that night, fresh veggies, meat, that sorta thing. It makes sense with how my mornings lay out, and I prefer small trips. I’m at a point where I have this shit down by rote. Yes, there’s some hiccups, like watermelon needing an employee because people use watermelon to steal apparently, but I kind of program in to the whole operation.

    Larger orders, I’ll hit an employee so I can bag while they scan.

    At the end of the day, it’s always about efficiency, and so it’s generally best for me to self checkout.
