Having bits of leftover cat food everywhere isn't "making a mess" it's providing an enrichment activity for the cats! And the ants!
And the roaches, and the rats, and the dog, and spiders hunting the roaches before you know it you have a new cat 
Spider are welcome on my house, they hunt mosquito and fly.
Very true. I'm chill with chill spider roommates. Just don't try to creep on me I'm the shower or you're getting flattened
-- and roaches. lol
And did I mention the roaches. Like so many you could call it roach new city.
i get a jump scare every single time a see a house centipede, but then i realize that it's a blessing in disguise; i would say a thankfulness prayer in appreciation if i were religious/superstitious. lol
Tbh I had the same problem with my ferret food until I found a big funnel with a scoop to go with it
When i was working in a kitchen i learned to use my hand to cup the side the jar, you pour against your hand and it works as its own funnle. Works better too because funnles are too small for a lot of things to flow nicely
ew catfood hands tho
ew catfood hands tho
soap?
my cat hates when i feed her soap tho
You truly are an artist
i'm not spilling i'm giving the cat a snack
Blammo
This is my job. Finding a nice funnel is harder than you might think
My recent revelation is thus: you don't need to completely fill the container. You can just stop whenever you want.
And I fill it and spill it anyway because apparently I "want" to stop when it's full.
Does it keep the cat food fresher?
It's a pretty common preservation strategy. You open the big container only to fill the medium container, which means less exposure to air and less risk of pests. Medium container is opened more frequently but doesn't go stale because it's all used quickly enough.
doesn't go stale, dog proof, and fits next to the cat food eating place a lot more efficiently!
Folded cereal box maybe?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
