He does this sometimes. At least he doesn’t sit on the keyboard (usually).

a zoomed in screenshot of the image OP posted, highlighting the game Deep Rock Galactic in their Steam library

Did I hear a Rock and Stone?

That you did!

I can't relate at all! Nuh-uh!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 minutes ago

Such a pretty kitty! Reminds me a lot of my sister-in-law’s dad’s cat named Merp (yes, that was her name). She’s no longer around sadly, but she looked just like that, and was super loveable!

Beautiful cat in front of a beautiful Linux desktop running KDE.

You certainly have a good taste for cats and operating systems.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 25 minutes ago

Why, thank you! The kitty doesn’t seem to concern himself with the events of computer software, he may only be interested in the cursor for a few seconds. I’ve personally not run Windows on a main PC since 2020, and I think it was Garuda at the time of this photo.

I would like to know the function of the grey circle in the bottom left. Initially I thought it was a button but now I'm thinking it's a microphone.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

it looks like a magnetic/induction charger like for a phone, but i don't know why it'd be elevated and angled that way

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 27 minutes ago

That’s a magnetic charger for a phone attached to a rotatable stand.

It really was insensitive of you not to be showering Mr. Floof with attention.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 23 minutes ago

Oh but he did get the pets! I just needed to make sure that I had a picture before he moved! Usually he prefers to be on my lap, but sometimes he’ll make himself the centre of attention this way!

What an adorable void! Give ‘em a scritch for me!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 minutes ago

I will! (He said thank you)

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I like that he looks quite scruffy

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 minutes ago

He definitely is quite the floofer. He is actually part Siamese, as that’s what his mother was. We don’t know what his father was, but we can see what he might have been.

Is that raisin flavored soda??

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 20 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Almost - it’s grape. Grape in French is raisin. Products in Canada have both English and French on them.

This comment made my night! (I hope that doesn’t sound sarcastic - I don’t mean it to be! I genuinely loved it and thought it was funny!)

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Thank you for explaining it’s grape in French. I saw this and was about to go to war.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 minutes ago

Yep, grape Zevia. It’s a brand of pop sweetened with stevia. Not the most delicious thing out there if I’m being honest, it’s got a bit of an aftertaste. It’s just not as miserably bad for you as other pop.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 hours ago

This is correct.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 7 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

makes me think if there are fake things you buy to put into pictures for interaction. or i am just refusing to accept that raisin soda is a thing.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 minutes ago

You know, I’ve never actually thought to do this. I’ve only grabbed items to stage for period-correct photos, but not candid “wtf is that” stuff in photos. That’s… really, really funny, actually!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

I bet they would if not for the fact that literally all of them appear to be sold out 😄

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 hours ago

Nah, it’s a grape drink I happened to have in the photo, and happened to be turned to show the French side. I didn’t even realize this until it was pointed out in the comments!

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 8 hours ago

Every day we stray further from God's light.

[–] maudelix@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

What breed of cat is he? Absolutely gorgeous!

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 minutes ago

He’s half Siamese. He kind of has the face, but we don’t know what the other half is. His mother, the Siamese cat, got of her owners’ house one day, and some time after she returned… multiplication had occurred.

About half the kittens looked like this kitty. Floofy, black fur (he actually had stripes as a kitten), there are a few possibilities. His father may have been a mix himself - some ragdoll, maybe a little bit of tabby, perhaps some Maine coon somewhere in there.

Lies. Cats don't ask questions, they assert their rightful place.

Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

We stull have much to learn, yet

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

That cat has more wisdom to bestow upon you than you realize.
