Flesh laundry is what I will now call my shower.

Maybe they just enjoy the smell of flesh?

Literally a “new” quilt from the thrift store

[–] hoover900@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Cozy fresh!

[–] hoover900@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think it because it is fresh that they need to rub their scent all over it.

Our cat loves to sleep on the fleshy quilt that is my partner's butt.

Hey! You wanted my scent (and loose fur) away! Now I have to mark the blanket as mine again.

Just got this quilt from a thrift store and it might have another animals scent on it even after I washed it.

You... found that at a thrift store?!

what an amazing find! (Seriously. that's a lovely handmaid quilt. whoever gave that up...)

[–] hoover900@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

$7, completely covers a queen sized bed with a nice amount of drape. Someone spent a good amount of time making this and it’s super precise. Signed and dated in one corner.

Beautiful quilt. I love those fabrics.

What's the year?

Cool! Thanks. I'm already mentally planning out my next hobby 😂

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm glad you gave it a nice home, where it'll be loved by a cat.

I'm scowling at whoever dumped it though. (my mom was a quilter, I've seen her make hundreds so I have an idea of what goes into them. It's a lot of work and care and love. and sometimes, a lot of frustration and seam rippers.)

Fleshly Laundered is my new dark metal band damn.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

They’re always dressed for the occasion

I'm like 90% sure my mom has that same quilt
