I was just trying to coax the orange goober (above) onto the bed. He decided to jump over the laundry hamper, the tall one you put dirty clothes in not the short one you dress out of. Anyways, my wife is asleep and when I told her about this in her sleep she told the cat "good boy" so I think she is still asleep.

Anyways I have buried the lede long enough, my boy biffed it. He missed the bed and landed in the basket. I used to only have three regrets, and now I have four and one is not getting this on film. He looked so betrayed.

We will be starting a gofundme for the good tuna for his emotional recovery my boy needs sushi. I might not sleep tonight I have the giggles.

I want you to know I'm looking at this picture on my PC. On a full size monitor. So your cats face is HUGE when you expand the image. It takes up the entire screen, except for a small line of text at the bottom. That text is the next thread's title, which is totally unrelated to your post. But given that all I see on the screen is this image, and this one line of text, it makes it seem like that line of text is a caption for this image.

So, imagine seeing that face, at 36 inches big, and then the text "Trump claims new drug can bring dead people back from the dead".

You're welcome.

I hope that this fake imitation screenshot can suffice 😔

thank you. next time he starts complaining i'll tell him he was elected president and see how he likes it.

I don't know how. I'm using linux, and I don't understand most things in linux. I'm one of the rare people who uses linux who isn't a power user at all. I can't use terminal, at all.

The shortcut is probably command/windows/meta key+shift+s

(the key that pulls up your launcher, usually with a ms bullshit logo on it,)

This will usually pull up several options including a full screen grab or a marquee selection (or indeed a specific application window.)

If you're using a desktop environment you can probably just search for screenshot and the tool will come up. On KDE it’s called Spectacle

I have two posts between those- a French song and a reminder that billionaires lie.

Our girl missed a jump from the toilet seat to the sink today. There is about a 5" gap between the two. Gravity must be heavy today!

When I put my ear next to the screen, I can hear the wind whooshing through his head. Absolutely zero thoughts happening inside. So precious.

i just woke up. the cat won't speak to me

lol I call mine goober sometimes. That’s not her name, but she doesn’t respond to her name anyway because she’s stupid.

i never had cats that responded to their names until i started getting tuxedo cats. either i figured out how to train them or the cats feel that being rude when dressing that well is too gauche even for them, i really haven't devoted much thought outside the bullshit centers of my brain to it.
