the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.

obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.

i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!

the best commission client you can ever get is always going to be this specific guy: he wants you to draw an oc he's had for like 16 years, he has a folder of references, she's like a catgirl who is also a magician or something, he has 3 paragraphs of her lore that he gives you + an exact pose, he's extremely polite and tells you to take as long as you need, and then he tips like $160 on top of the asking price at the end. and he always looks exactly like this

Cat Care Tips for Beginners Of 2023

Bringing a new feline friend into your home can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Cats are known for their independent and affectionate nature, but they also require proper care to thrive and live a happy, healthy life.

If you're a beginner cat owner, there are some essential cat care tips you should keep in mind to ensure your furry companion feels safe, loved, and content in their new environment.

Prepare Your Home

Before bringing your new cat home, it's crucial to create a safe and comfortable environment. Start by cat-proofing your house, ensuring there are no hazards like toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. Secure cords and cables to prevent chewing and consider investing in a scratching post to protect your furniture.

Choose the Right Cat Supplies

Make sure you have all the necessary supplies ready before your cat arrives. This includes a litter box, quality cat litter, food and water bowls, a comfortable bed, and toys to keep your feline friend entertained. Providing these basics will help your cat settle in smoothly.

Select the Right Cat Food

Proper nutrition is essential for your cat's health. Consult with your veterinarian to choose the right type of cat food, whether it's dry kibble, wet food, or a combination of both. Be sure to follow feeding guidelines based on your cat's age, weight, and activity level. Freshwater should always be available.

Regular Veterinary Care

Regular veterinary visits are crucial for your cat's overall well-being. Schedule an initial check-up as soon as you bring your cat home, and then maintain a consistent vaccination and wellness examination schedule. Spaying or neutering your cat is also essential to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce certain health risks.

Provide Mental and Physical Stimulation

Cats are naturally curious and playful animals. Ensure they have plenty of mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom and behavioral issues. Interactive toys, scratching posts, and play sessions with your cat are excellent ways to keep them engaged and happy.

Grooming

Cats are generally good at grooming themselves, but regular grooming is still essential. Brushing your cat's coat helps reduce shedding and prevents matting. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to bond with your feline companion. Long-haired cats may require more frequent grooming than short-haired breeds.

Litter Box Maintenance

Maintaining a clean litter box is vital for your cat's hygiene and overall satisfaction. Scoop the litter box daily, and completely change the litter regularly. Cats are very particular about their litter boxes, so keeping it clean will encourage consistent use.

Socialization

Cats may have a reputation for being aloof, but they thrive on social interaction. Spend quality time with your cat through play, petting, and gentle affection. Building a strong bond with your feline friend will lead to a more content and well-adjusted pet.

Be Mindful of Health Warning Signs

Learn to recognize signs of illness or discomfort in your cat, such as changes in appetite, behavior, or litter box habits, as well as vomiting, diarrhea, or coughing. Promptly consult your veterinarian if you notice any unusual symptoms to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.

Conclusion

Caring for a cat as a beginner may seem daunting, but with the right information and commitment, it can be a rewarding experience. Remember that each cat is unique, so be patient and adaptable as you get to know your new furry family member. By following these cat care tips for beginners, you'll provide a loving and comfortable home for your cat, ensuring a happy and healthy life together.
