Do you have any pets?

[Benzine]

I know this is an aging post, but I feel like I've been on a mission trying to defend you against this "lol benzine is a alcoholic" stereotyping. If only because continuing to tell someone they're a drunkard after they've moved on from those days diminishes any progress they've made in recovery.

Not to say you had that serious a problem at any point, but I get the impression that isn't how you want to be represented. GWF is all about allowing the previous horrible humans that we were to slough off, revealing the immaculate butterflies within.

I'm just playing into it, I don't mind at all. There's no recovery to be seen here.

Fair enough. Then I'll stop caring about you, Benjamin Zine.

I'm more worried about the shark choking on the chunky cat

This made me think of this part in Men in Tights

Jello is obsessed with drinking out of my water cup. I started putting out a second glass filled to the top for her, but she still insists on drinking mine.

 

[Crystal]

lol, of course! It's only special because it's yours.

Impossible to pour milk into anything without Vinny trying to drink it as it's being poured

lol, love it!! Little milk thief

 

[Quagmire]

It's hilarious, I wish I could get a picture of me pouring the milk into the measuring cup cuz that one's even funnier, and anytime my wife or I are making overnight oats he knows like he comes running into the kitchen, he has memorized I guess the sound of the different containers

Oh 100% they know the sounds, they're incredibly intelligent in that regard, lol. They know what sounds interest them and they are not afraid to come charging in to make their interests known! My boys always came running for any resealable bag because they sound just like the treat bags, so even if you were just trying to enjoy some mixed nuts, you had two furry faces staring at you like you were starving them and their lives depended on you giving them just a drop of something, please.

I used to have a cat who would wake up from a dead sleep across the house if I got out ice cream. It didn't matter what container it was in or how quiet I was. He knew.

Ours is the same, loves some ice cream

Probably doesn't help that my son has fed him ice cream cuz he thought it was funny

 

[Crystal]

Ah, cats. Marvels of nature.

 

[Quagmire]

Adopted two more cats from someone who couldn't keep them


My favorite of our older cat looking at one of the new ones from across the room

 

[Crystal]

Aww, cute fur babies!

 

[Quagmire]

He only climbs up here now because we put the food for the new cats there to keep him away from it. We had to find a new place but he keeps checking

Ah, sounds like my old boy Paddy. Least adventurous cat until food came into play, THEN he was everywhere.

Now he waits at the top of the stairs, waiting for our Son to wake up and open the gate so that he can sprint in and get the other cat's food. One has been hanging out upstairs and the other downstairs but they roam around the whole house now a little bit more

Frustrating when that happens, because come on, dude! lol, but at least the new kitties are getting more adventurous. Hopefully they'll get to the point where they're claiming their food before he gets anywhere near it . I'd say grab those RFID feeders, but those are so damn expensive!

We bought two for them. Vinny is on a timer one, hopefully it can work, I dont see the other two fighting him off for his and he sprints to his food the second it goes off

Oh wow, well hopefully he gets the hint that *ding fries are done* is the cue that it's time for him to feed, and other food noises means it's time for the other kitties to feed, lol.

This cat thinks every moment is food time for him!

I hear you there, sounds exactly like my Paddy. Food is his, only his.

It's so cute to watch him try and paw food off of our plates

I hear you there! If I just try a little bit harder, I could have that!!

 

[Kat]

I had to get one of those chip reader feeders to keep one of my cats out of the other's bowl. Neither of them were happy with the solution, but it kept me sane.

Passed out after being chased/playing with new cats



Fat orange watching new cat eat








This is pretty high jump

OH NO!! Save the kitty!! There's a monstrous carpet shark eating this one!

He was passed out, the younger cats were playing with him /they annoyed and terrorized him earlier

Sounds about right, the young ones are like energizer bunnies, they just go forever!

Caught a little of their playing

He's not even that much older, only a year and a half or so, yes just fat!

Hoping this helps him burn some weight

 

[Crystal]

lol, yeah, might help him out, might just make him lazier as he stays away from the mayhem, lol

 

[Kat]

So cute! Hopefully he decides playing with them is fun.

I think he likes it a little bit he will play sometimes with some toys so hopefully he does like it

I used to have a cat who hated kittens until he realized they'd let him chase them around as much as he wanted. Then they were his absolute best friends. It took longer than you might guess, so Fat Orange might still warm up to them.

 

[Quagmire]

Fat cat trying to steal food

 

[Kat]

It looks like he's succeeding to me.

 

[Quagmire]

He didn't get anything, couldn't reach far enough down

 

[Kat]

Aww, the curse of being too fat to reach your food.

 

[Quagmire]

Give me that pork chop

 

[Kat]

I got restrained this morning until I provided satisfactory face rubs.

 

[Quagmire]

 

[Crystal]

That's some amazing concentration, lol

Either that, or the cat is being a food critic. How do we know they're not pointing out something?

 

[Spectro]

Unfortunately, one of my cats has cancer. I feel like it hasn't even really hit me yet that we might lose him. He's only 7. I never had cats before this but he doesn't seem that old.

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that! Is it treatable? I hope so and I hope he responds well to the treatment!

It's not that old, they usually live about double that, give or take a few years.

Poor guy, he's so fluffy! I hope there's a treatment that's effective and doable for you.
