35 Annoying Myths That Some People Still Believe

... that, she is. And my guitar in background. DSC04009-6...f4915d.jpg

... I'll try ... she's not really into hugging, she comes from ... two previous homes. First: Her Ma, another Ma and both their litters plus a male cat who is the father of a few of the kittens, crammed into something called a "rabbit coop", of which I have no further details. Second home - she and one of the other kittens (her sister, halfsister, unrelated - that's unknown), who hated each other and were constantly interrupted when fighting out their pecking order ... she seems to have had too much contact, but too less affection in the first home, and the second home was at a dude's who is known to get himself pets he can't really handle and then get rid of them when problems occur. But ... I'll try my best and wear something with long sleeves, hehe...

Thanks, to you and Caro²! Yeah, she's ... not the easiest cat I've lived with, but when i wake up, and she's looking out the window and hears me yawning, she comes running to my bed, saying "B-brrrp!" with every step, jumps on the bed and starts cuddling me awake, I truly feel loved. You cannot pet her reaching over her from the belly side (she lying on the side), but only from above, and a few other things are to consider when interacting, but ... oh man, I really love her, however weird she is, she's the cat, she's to chose.

If you don't want a cat or dog because you are vegan, I would suggest a rabbit (if you live in an area where you can legally keep them) they have lots of personality and don't eat meat!

No. I've kinda always lived with cats, with grieving gaps between their generations, and this cat needed a new home, because she and her maybesister just didn't get along. And, while I understand not wanting a carnivorish pet as a vegan, I only agree to the extent that animals dedicatedly bred for being my pet are out of the question. I didn't decide on if this cat was born or not, she just is there, her life is a given, so to say ... and I like being around cats, I like how they express love and affection and ... well, I wouldn't support breeding cats, dogs or any pets at all for that matter, but once they're there, they deserve a loving and sufficiently competent home, regardless of their diet or even ability to chose or have chosen it for them. If you'd love to live with either of them, just do it. But ... as above and several times before around here - a cat is a carnivore who needs to eat other animals' remains. That I provide her with that is by no means an excuse or reason for me not to still not eat/wear/buy animal products unless it's unavoidable. I think I take pills that have lactose in them ... a miniscule amount, that is - and I have NOT taken pain meds, regardless of already having developed chonic pain, for way too long and ... this exception, I can justify, because a life in constant pain is pretty much identical to a depressive episode, plus the knowledge that it will never really end. This adds up to, like a gram or a few of lactose a month or so ... displays, especially touchscreens, are NEVER animal free. If I may allow myself a bit of lengthyness here, the original definition of veganism reads "Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose and support the development and distribution of alternatives where they don't yet exist." - so, by the strictest of definitions, I violate my veganism by accepting that the pill manufacturer uses a derivative of milk in the coating of the stuff that allows me to actually live. Hm ... whoever would wanna slaughter me for this violation, IMO doesn't get the point and can, if it was up to me, very well try out the same pain just for one day and reevaluate. I don't, but I know a handful of people who are vegans by any means and do one cheat day a year, where they feast on all the forbidden stuff. I actually don't even miss any of that, and I personally don't think this is useful, but they do they ... I won't accuse a fellow vegan of only being 364/365 in regard to consequency ... and I don't think any fight between vegans and vegetarians is right or useful, as we're, kind of, natural allies, ... anyway, no, I'm vegan since 2013, vegetarian since 1997, and the cats I lived with moved in 1979 (to my parents - I wasn't born then), lived until 1991 and 1997 (brother and sister), 1998 living until 2011 and 2018 (two brothers) and 2021, born 2020 (current cat, female). BUT, I never made or encouraged anyone to get their cats knocked up, quite the opposite ... but if they already exist, and I have a spot for a cat who's gonna be loved and taken care of, ... what would the benefit be if she lived at someone else's who's not a vegan?

I vaguely remember her giving Bella this weird vegan soup thing idk what it was. She looked depressed eating it :(

I'm seeing that she uses guilt trips to try and guilt people into being vegan. I'm not saying that the industry is fine and dandy, it can get really messed up, but that's not a good way to get people to be vegan

My cats can often be found eating grass before and after puking. I think it's a mix of both reasons.
