Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

We adopted a kitten recently—I say kitten because he’s under a year old, but he already weighs 9 lbs and has the strength of an adult cat—and good god he’s been in turbo mode the entire time. He’s a sweet boy, but I’ve literally never encountered a kitten that needs 5+ hours of hard, excited play per day to wear out! It starts between 6 am and 7:30 am every morning, and my husband and I have been taking shifts wearing him out and supervising him.

You know those automatic air sprayer devices that people use to teach cats what’s off limits? He defeated ours while we were asleep. Woke up and saw him with it on the floor, empty of air, and him still activating the now-useless spray mechanism because he liked the noise it made. We have surrendered more surfaces to him than I would prefer to admit, but man I only have so much energy and I gotta pick my battles 😂
