    I do not understand my current cats. They are not mature enough to be indoor/outdoor cats. They do not come when I call them when they are outdoors, and they try to escape up trees when they are outdoors. This is new for cats for me. All my previous cats, when they were out, if I call they came running. Also they knew how to climb trees and didn’t get stuck upside down like orange idiots. Okay there was that one time but they were a kitten and it was a screen door and also it did not start out upside down it does not count. Maybe I do not smell enough like cat food

      You gotta embrace that crazy-cat-lady way. Then you’ll smell like em and they’ll come back running :3

      pictures in my head as some weirdo rubs themselves in cat food opens the screen door to the garden and starts yelling at their cats

    PSA: If you build a crib yourself the gaps must be 6 cm or less, else your child can fit it’s head through and suffocate. People have lost their child this way.

      While you’re at it, check your railings (stair, balcony, deck). No gaps wider than 10 cm, height 100 cm and not horizontal/climbable by small children. You have a lot less time than you think before that little squirmy thing is running around. The nights last forever but the weeks fly by.

        It looks fine. And it’s likely not made from scratch, but a flat box assembly. But it’s a good PSA anyway.

        Editing to add: No finials or anything sticking up that could hook a string or strap and enable a baby to strangle themself.

    He is ready to welcome your hairless kitten.

    P.s. I have to cover my guest bed with a sacrificial sheet until company comes, I have a dog who likes to keep it ready as well.
