I also think Quicksilver is enough of a cunt to be annoying about being adopted

rpqoknnwidkb Masturbation can be dangerous troll 😂

I regularly scratch myself in my sleep so that's my normal look

You must have received a lot of mittens for Christmas gifts 😄

lawllll

I think we need to add pet profiles to NL

omg YES

Can we call them Furmads?

this is how I do my work

😆

That's deep

i’m seriously obsessed with this dog’s instagram - www.instagram.com/hunger4words/

Yea it's definitely cool

I saw something about that. Pretty neat.

Met someone who said it might be nice to travel, but it's complicated with a dog. Told that know people who travel with dog(s). Answer was "_Hmmm, I guess, but still might be hard to bring 9 dogs on the plane_" 😂

omg we’re gonna need pics

No pics

9 seats

Yeah, she started with one dog, then got another one, those two ended up "making" more doggies 😄

lol

They hang out at your gym?!?

Yeah, that one just slept, the other one walks around the gym, after it found out I'm giving pats it started following me around 😄

Haha haha

`REDGYM` small basic gym with rusty equipment but that is exactly why I like it because no one cares that you do or gives you any shit 🙂

Guys. Please don't skip leg day.

What if someone was planning to do a RTW trip... but walking in a handstand? Lets not be so mean to each other's wimpy chicken legs 😉

either way skipping leg day isn't great

Haha.

same

Oh. I posted this in pets. Damn it.

haha

don’t hate on chickens U2X7EBMMW!

as far as I'm concerned this is still the old _relationships channel and anything goes

chickens need love too

it's about your relationship with your muscles

Hahahahaha

Squats with pets

I do water and feed them.

muscles for pets

crap

Milk

spinach

Everyone who wants a proper omelette innit

I used to but lactose intolerant so no

Lil bit of milk

yep. A splash

Magic trick

whaa

channeling my deceased grandmother - a splash

Like a lil splash

Wonder if almond milk works 🤔

Pancakes are also just eggs and milk and flour

I use almond milk now. It's really just to make fluffy a bit.

Yeah, I'd think it has to do with the steaming of the extra water more than anything

Like maybe more air pockets

Going to try that right now

😍

I don't measure. I do a small tip of the container. Like tctxvayyan says, maybe 5 -10%

lol my mom does that when cooking indian food

I really only measure for new dishes that I've never made. Other than that I "eyeball it"

1 mumblemg of turmeric

...and I've been told I'm a decent cook since I do enjoy cooking

I'm not a great cook either and I appreciate precise measurements

❤️

Often though I'll go up on the spice from what is in the recipe, then just write what I actually did in the margin of the book like a nerd

(she’s fluent in english and is a software engineer so it’s not that she doesn’t know english lol)

She doesn't want anyone knowing her cooking secrets

😱

Nah, she probably learned young and it's all tacit knowledge so it's difficult to explain, she does it without thinking about it at this point

jaa she def learned from my grandmother at a super young age so yep

I've learned a lot of spice names in Spanish, the important ones like canela (cinnamon) and comino (cumin)

haha i’m so incompetent sometimes i get confused

OMG I would never have patience to make food look that good 😄

That was almond/coconut milk

Nah can't do it, I just slide everything into the same plate hoping it won't spill over 😄

Take it one step at a time... For a common dish you make figure one ingredient that can add to the look, and then figure out how to make it zero effort and experiment over time

Easier to not have guests 😄

It's for you too!

byumjrxbcmsgde somehow looks like a christmas three

I'd argue, either way it's all for you 😄

Yeah, thing is that 95% of the time food for me is just something you have to consume to not die so the looks are usually low priority

Yah, I eat a lot like that. Before we started this convo was debating omelette or yogurt/cereal, but... When I get a chance, I try to practice

Yeah, I agree that it's nice when food looks nice, but I just prefer when everything is mixed together, for me personally that is tastier

Get a blender and have your gruel then 🤷‍♂️ 😉

No that doesn't work, the thing is that I still want the crunchiness of eating your food, so liquid feeding doesn't work so well 😄

haha

What channel am I in? 🤔

Eat more pets 😄

Need pet chickens for egg production 👌 👌 👌

Nothing says _I love you_ as much as eating unborn pet's children 😂

Plus cooking is an attractive thing. I think if you can somewhat put some decent meals together you appear more appealing to most. At least to me cuz I'm hungry and life food.

that looks like a savory crepe from heaven smokysyqvkomgd is that spinach and bacon bits inside?!

Filling is spinach, vegetarian chorizo, gouda chese, onions and a little creme

It's a "french style" omelette, I guess. Was curious to learn that from here a few months ago. Just eggs, almond/coconut milk (the experiment) and salt. Tomatoes, cream and basil to top

FOOD PIC CHANNEL

PETS AND FOOD

PW&F!

My transformation into a giant cheese dumpling continues... chipá really are the perfect snack. They're kind of petlike, in their way

Who wouldn’t want such a pretty omelette made for them the next day 😉

🤷‍♂️ if it were that easy, I wouldn't be single haha

PW&F!

pets, wine, and food should really go into one comprehensive category

Yes

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He found me and wanted this.

am so jelly

lcsiidsadmli you never did have kittums when you lived in NY?

That’s why you choose a quarterly or half year base eventually.

isbsgwahv I had bunbuns!

Oh right, wouldn’t want to mix bunnies and kittums

but I don't know if I want to travel kittums back and forth between like spain and mexico

Well the kittums will know spanish in that case, they should be able to handle the switch between Mexico and Spain

this is true!

Quick EU question, is it true you can only stay in France or Spain for 3 months at a time?

can only stay in schengen 90 days out of 180

So lame

this is the driving factor in why I am working on spanish residency

Makes sense

will be working on spanish residency

Is that hard to get

My cat did pretty well going from Atlanta > Madrid.

do you do it multiple times a year?

Three

hrmmm

Definitely depends on the cat. But it made me really sad the whole time.

I would need to get two kittums so they can keep each other company

I suppose if you fly regularly with kittens they’d get used to it

Yeah, I'm working towards my Spanish citizenship as well now

god, I wonder what an airline would do since I have a serious cat allergy if someone else in J had their cat with them

Been feeling a bit guilty when I leave for work since Charlie is all by himself. He has toys and stuff but people keep telling me to get another cat but......it's another cat so

Cat's are actually mainly forcibly social with other cats. In their adulthood most cats are solitary

pniqksmlluus I’ve flown a lot with my cat and he…tolerates it

lolllllll

Good spatial awareness

quite impressive

I don’t think any living beings enjoy travelling long distances. No matter the mode of transportation.

fact

Give them treats, give me drinks

i’ll also taking a meowing cat over a crying baby on a plane any day

“Wait, that little fleshbag is allowed to yell too? Fine, I shall partake of the festivities!”

lol

cat speak www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjRs_WT8VzM

Yep, exactly ihnbyjyro

gsjyilkytijyozbb Friend had a cat for years, decided to get another one, old cat didn't wanted to be social with new cat, tried for more than a year to make them be social until he finally gave up and gave away the young cat 🤷‍♂️

HELLO PUPPER

That's a legit fear. I say this to my friends who say he may get lonely "He was found in a park abandoned as a kitten. I think he's going to have a good life"

That was one fashionable puppy 😄

Also I went on a date last night and we met in a nice cocktail bar with very few people in it. Two ladies about my mothers age came in and brought a dog with a dog bed and they all sat in chairs. I got to pet the dog. 😋

wait

rjsgpsngpcayzdsd You could try maybe ask if you can bring the new kitten home to see your current one will like him (or go with your kitten when looking for a new one), but yeah if they don't like each other it would be hard. I personally would have given up after a week, but friend tried it for a long time but finally decided to give one up because both cats was starting to even be unfriendly to him and getting into bad behavior

a lot of shelters are happy to do pet dating

Also honestly most people are bad at introducing new pets to each other

I was not eating I was drooling

just to make sure the furbaby you have and your potential new furbaby will get along

It will take longer than a week for them to get used to each other and it honestly has to be very gradual with cats

tbh I'm not a fan of another pet

i.e. separate rooms, switch toys/smells

it took 2 years for my bunnies to get along

I don't need to break up fights

haha

oh I see you've never heard of sneakerhands

do tell

sneakers on your hands

Uh

this is a thing?

yes

have u done this U039LMA57?

for getting bunnies to get along

i mean…how

the BEST result with bunny speed dating is they love each other

just like push them apart?

the best realistic result is they don't hate each other

an ex of mine had bunnies who would growl and get the zoomies in my place. The were hilarious

in enclosed areas with tiled floor

hahaha

and then they fight and you shove a sneakerhand in between

you clearly are quite experienced in bunny introductions

they start with like 5 minute dates, then 10 minute dates, and so on

it really is a similar idea for cats

it took TWO

but before even the dates

I cordoned off my kitchen, which, because it's a nyc kitchen, was the size of a postage stamp

lol

and sat in there with clothing covering every body part

Yeah I don't need to come home to shit tore up because someone at someones food or played with a toy that was not theirs

and sneakerhands

a bee keepers suit

haha i don’t think this is quite like human children lylqtddmszxnusnw

and their food and water bowls were right by the adjoining wall

damn

yeah they can be pretty territorial right? Bunnies?

yes

i’ve only seen videos of bunnies beating up cats

so much

and it looked intense

yeah I'm always kind of amused when people are like "bunnies and cats sound like a bad idea because the cats will eat them" and I'm like HAVE YOU SEEN BUNNIES BEING TERRITORIAL I AM BETTING ON THE BUNNY

plus they chew on shit all the time. My ex had to replace so many cords for phones and computers

plus being kicked with their legs is no joke

yeah

yeah bunnies fight for survival and cats fight for funsies so generally survival wins

I’m just imagining yqvceyjaipwx running a matchmaker service where sneakerhands is a critical component

my cat would hunt wild rabbits then skin them at the front door of the house

. . . skin???

yeah and leave the organs as some sort of offering

Omg I remember watching my dog and the neighbor's dog team up to kill a rabbit... I was eight at the time and had a lot to learn about the Circle of Life

Blah. A close friends’ dog just passed last night, they were besties for 10 years. I am so so sad for her today.

The tree is in the middle of the city (Posadas). :-)

its a trap!!!

Ella is long

Very. And slinky 😂

Charlieeeeeee

L for long. L-a ? Ell-a

Long Animal?

Long boi

there’s a chart

much science!

Seems on point for this channel nypost.com/2019/11/12/russian-man-loses-airline-miles-for-sneaking-fat-cat-on-flight/|https://nypost.com/2019/11/12/russian-man-loses-airline-miles-for-sneaking-fat-cat-on-flight/

So they allow skinny enough cats.... and he cared enough to find a decoy. Sounds like the kind of skirting the rules I can get behind

fat shaming kitties

Despicable

I mean if we’re gonna go there

absolute unit

I feel like you can't fat shame cats because they don't give a #@$%

Felines have feelings too! 😛

Haha saw that before. Working hard

jesus that is a big kitty

treadmill goals

… water treadmill? is that so they have a strong desire to run to gtfo of the water? 😅

Yea like that water seems to shallow to help with lightening the weight

this cat can be used as a flotation device

chonky chonksters

That's a big chonker

also it’s totes unfair that fat cats are thought of as cute - they have such a life advantage

pretty pudgy pets

Fat cat -> more furry goodness to rub your face into
Fat human -> someone getting into your space on airplane
man-shrugging

Haha

You know, when I see that I just see it as animated gif version with ZZzzZzZ's animated from his face

_"He likes you, he usually doesn't like tall man"_ - Cute woman with a cute chubby doggie

I'll take that compliment 😂

Hahahaha

I'm sure doggies are about 70% of the crap on the sidewalks, but at the same time I like that in Budapest a lot of people has doggies, almost daily get a chance to pet some doggie, as a bonus owners are often cute woman 😄

In sfo it’s 90% human

does that pass the taste test?

Boundaries my friend, boundaries.

yeah i suck at making artificial boundaries

Going by your wording, maybe you're thinking about them as too abstract. They're real concrete things that exist between you and others

Send them on organized tours.

We just picked up our daughters shichi-go-san photos

ncgtujlcltegnwdfs maybe you should wear a kimono too

i mean, that's a thing

egbrxeche Help them make sure they have their own things to do. And find a physically space separate from them to do your work for chunks of time. Then in your free time plan to do sightseeing with them.

rkfdnpu originally she was going to be coming out with a friend but the friend fell through so I’m feeling pressure haha

Seems like that would be complicated. Depends on the parent too, muaekzbnbpyrud seems had a complicated time. My best guess would be to send them out to group experiences (walking tours, cooking classes and what not - assuming they like being with other people) and maybe find some good cafe so you could slip out and work.

Give them a project to work on.

tzmmymydy take 100% time off when they visit, treat it like a holiday

yep I just take time off

I've had it myself and seen other ppl do it wrong so many times your friend/family will sit with you and bug you while you try to work, meaning no work done, and no fun for them either.

I am so relieved that I don't have any T Day expectations or obligations this year, and that I'm not dealing with the typically awful New England weather either

I can't say this most places because for so many non-nomad USians, it's still Family Obligation and Carb Binge Day whether or not they really want that.

Good points.. I think I wouldn't mind traveling with "normie" friends but only do it in totally new places, and treat that as vacation mode

Hahahaha

The other cat is alive but kind of "_I'm outta here_" 😄

Sounds typical.

I feel like I missed the perfect cat pic today. Now I'm haunted by the memory of what could have been. _Pours more wine_

😂 That's Señor. He's not really a cat.

His bites are also very painful so he will not be getting any petting from me

He looks like he was just about ready to tackle your arm

"This is NOT how to pet me!"

Yeah it reminded me off playing video game which is too new for you pc so it's lagging 😄

Señor!!!

"Is there a problem, Officer?"

Some may call him a trendsetter

He's figured out how to satisfy thirst AND bathe without needing to use his tongue.

he was watering his chin while contemplating the taste of water in between sips

You may be onto something

It looks like you're being surveilled

She is keeping an eye on me

Hahaha

_Why did you bring me to this place? Can't you see the apocalypse outside?_

jarmafxgbhsydz I feel I should disclose that I've been sharing pix of Señor on a cat related channel in another Slack. I know he isn't really a cat, but he looks like one.

He approves as long as his name is spelled properly with the ñ

rude

I know. I feel terribly.

cat-shaming

Someone on otherSlack "P U D G E". Said with adoration ofc

Fat or jolly? I assumed Señor was getting into the spirit

Clearly it's the camera angle

I’ll tell him you said so.

nice, i hope it's cat-friendly edibles 😛

my friend got an advent calendar for her cat as well but it was primarily filled with dry treats and catnip

Yep, little dry snack packs

I hope we are all aware that a "Cat Butt Coloring Book" exists

Now I’m going to have to see how good each of the three cats in my house’s Yoda impressions are

that cats face is saying "please someone call PETA"

I want a pet 😞

Lol. He actually loves getting love in any form. He's like a stuffed animal.

what breed of cat is señor?

Dragon/Pooh

He is also master at drinking water 😄

Looks more like rave dancing, trancing out to a light beam

He was definitely into it.

This show is literally just a camera following a cat walking on a beach

... With them appearing to not be interested in anything I assume

yes

So I've been away for a week and it's been reported that Charlie in protest knocked over a plant and broke the pot. He's going to get a talking to when I get back

Hahaha

Man, Charlie sure is affectionate since I've got back. Lots of head butting, rubbing up against, and purring. We had quite the petting session before getting out of bed which we should all do. He's getting his winter coat so he's extra soft.

pitbull? 🥰

fyptcalljzt He is an English Staffordshire Bullterrier. And he is the sweetest freakin' dog ever, I take him everywhere with me! 🙂

I used to have a staffie too…they are the absolute _sweetest_ dogs

Only to some people. No one would EVER meet my dog and think anything bad, he's gorgeous! I am going to miss him next year when we're traveling.

Need a dogsitter? 😬

Get a GF troll 😄

taking a break from that sort of thing 😄

flktyemehxa haha, we don't have a house, so that could be tricky. Right now my wife and I are traveling Australia in a caravan! lol

He's going to stay with my mother though, she loves him nearly as much as I do.

Mm n mmm nm mm mnm mm SHHHhh

Hahahahahaha

haha

I identify so much with that cat... The initial knee jerk reaction, the enjoyment of the process in the moment, the back of the mind doubting and finally the repeat of an earlier action just to verify I did or said it correctly

big fan of senor

Always innovating.

Ace photo

Yeah, that's beautiful.

alpacas always look like they are slightly smirking twitter.com/_Cute_n_Squish/status/1205344625218732032

My mom’s neighbor have these. They are not easy to approach and touch like in the video unfortunately.

So you are saying I CAN'T hang lights and put a hat on them?!? Welp, there goes that dream.

Well, I guess it depends on the alpaca. I guess the one in the video was probably raised as a house pet or something?

LOL I still like the fact that they look like someone just whispered something funny in their ear and only they are in on the joke.

They do look cute. And are really soft if you can manage to get close (easiest way is with food) 😛

those cute smug bastards

That alpaca looks bored lol
