That’s fair, I’m not sure if it’s just something I noticed recently and it’s hard to spot in pictures.

Late September:

Mid November:

Even if it is new, I know pigment changes in young cats is normal. Probably just being an overly concerned cat mom ._.’

But only on the one side and newly developed?

I sadly can’t, the older of my two cats is terrified of dogs and it would stress her out something awful to have one in the house 😔

And I’m afraid that this old guy might be on his last legs. He really didn’t like me touching his butt and peed blood on me when I carried him out of the hills. If they do have to put him down, then at least I know he spent his time somewhere safe and warm rather than freezing out in this rain and getting eaten by coyotes.

I’ve also posted him on lost pet sites and other social media, hoping to find his owners!

Hell yeah!

Especially their own separate tubs

It was fantastic! Kaytranada was new to me, and though not exactly my taste, still really fun music to groove along to

Nope, her name’s Sofrito (or Sofi for short).

I learn something new every day.

Hah true that! Cardboard and packing paper are some of her favorite things to play with, and we’ll often let her tear boxes up a bit before recycling.

For the cat litter, I’ve started to save and use the plastic bags we get with our food anyways. Lots of things like frozen food, bread, chips, whatever, come in bags that can have a second use before being thrown away.

Everyone knows that cats are liquid, but I think they also exhibit gaseous properties, in that they are capable of expanding to fill any available space. No matter how large the bed, it will never be enough.

Nah that’s the mycelium being all fluffy.

Oh you’re right, it’s not against the rules and I haven’t reported it or anything. There’s a whole discussion that could be had about the many issues of AI, but with this specific example, my main ick is the authenticity of the joke and the implications for misinformation.

The image could have been a comic version of the same “strip joint skeleton Halloween decoration” and still been funny, but the idea of someone actually putting in the effort to build it in their yard adds to the humor. For me, the generation is almost good enough to look real at a quick glance, but the sense of something being off and subsequent realization that I’ve been “fooled” into thinking it was a real photo kills that humor and leaves a sour feeling.

It also concerns me that as AI image generation gets better, the easy tells become harder and harder to spot. This picture is harmless, but imagine the potential damage of a better fake image of a more scandalous topic.

I couldn’t figure out the limb positions on the stripper, and the more I looked, the more obvious this is AI. Funny idea, too bad it’s generated slop.

Her name is Sofrito, and we also call her the Purrito Bandito. Previous nicknames while in kittenhood included noddlebones (she tended to flop when picked up), ragamuffin, and fetid moppet.

Truly a magnificent creature lording over her domain.

Well that’s sad, but understandable.

You’re in luck, there is a best of Lemmy!

Followed the blue book, 10lbs for 20 minutes.
