Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.
That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.
Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time
Totally not a dumb question tbh - the answer probably also highly depends on where you’re from.
In Germany (also highly depends on county/city) yes, they do normally fare pretty well and shelters often operate multiple feeding stations where there are a lot of strays. So they get to know the „local strays“ and can keep an eye on them via volunteers and cams.
When a cat is visibly sick, they catch them at this station, treat them and if the cat is alright, oftentimes release them again - shelters are notoriously full and money ist scarce for these organisations unfortunately…
However, if there are conditions that make life for this cat (or others - e.g. FIV) dangerous, they are normally kept in the shelter and then opened for adoption as a „only indoors cat“.
Also, older cats often end up in shelters because they often belonged to older people - and when they can’t care for the cats anymore, have to move or die one day, the cats have to go somewhere too.
Yeah, iirc TetraPak advertised as being an eco-friendly packaging and was prohibited to do so (at least in some countries, dunno) exactly because of that.
Completely ignoring that fucking crazy statement from the video:
Yes, it can contain meat. But you normally start somewhere at around 5months with only single types of veggies, so you can check allergies and also it’s easier for their digestion. I think you normally do not start any meat before 8 or 9 months.
As almost everybody already said: Just try it. Get some protectors and a helmet - don’t give a single shit whether anybody would think that’s not cool or goofy or whatever. You love your body and want to protect it. That’s rad imo. Also: a helmet is more real estate for awesome stickers ;)
Then remember two things: bend your knees and lean forward. Also, you will fall and get up again. That’s part of skateboarding. Try to learn how to correctly fall: loosen your body and try to always divert the impact by rolling and “pushing the ground”. Find out if you’re regular or goofy and just go for it.
I highly recommend the beginner videos from braille Skateboarding on YouTube! They have a lot of tips for everything.
Yes, I think that’s the consensus on how to pronounce it.
In case anyone has never heard the acronym: it stands for what you see is what you get. As opposed to what you see is what you mean (e. g. TeX)
Look at that pure wrath in its little face!
I guess OP meant won’t be worth much as in „when your government is overthrown, the new government might just kick you out of your home and strip you of your land“ as the current government is actually the only party giving you the right to claim ownership of the land.
It’s from Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan Origin Story
Fun fact: in Germany, the 70s series „The Persuaders“ has cult status because of this. Everywhere else it kinda flopped, but the German dub is soo hilariously nonsensical that everybody loved it.
The people that were in charge of the dub are the same as for all the Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill Movies.
It would literally have cost you nothing not to write that sentence down… but here we are
