I tell the dog not to let the menace cat burn down the house. I know he’s not really “in charge” though.

Thanks for the chuckle

My favorite hobby is returning to weekly events after an extended holiday break.

It worked out well for us. She clearly responds to her name; even if it is just to shut her eyes tighter when she wants to ignore us.

I also wonder if there’s more work that has deadlines at the level Gen Z is working at, and fewer at the level Boomers are working at. Or if there are tighter turn arounds? Like from my wife’s work, I’d guess the upper levels are on more quarterly “release” schedules while everyone else is working these 2 week sprints which by the nature of the work requires some things to take more than one sprint (which looks like missing a deadline to the tracking).

So when she first showed up some other people in my house called her “Bristles” and I was like oh no, not that. I compiled a list of names and just would try addressing her by a name off the list a few times a day. She was napping when I got to her name, but I said it and she lifted her head, looked at me and did that little mrrr? so it’s her name.

cat tax?

One of my cats chose her name, so we only address her by that. If we’re getting fancy we’ll append onto it, but never totally different names. We also have two brothers, one has many nicknames, but we still call him by his name about half the time. The other we call by his name most of the time.

Honestly I think my buns are usually one of my colder areas on the surface. All that good insulation.
