    “It squeaks”

    Translation: It makes noises like an animal at distress or about to die when you are tearing into it.

    What do you do to play with your dog?

    I have a squeaky.squeeeeeek

    And what about your cat?

    Oh, I can’t play with him until I pay Big Jimmie $200 for the meth.

    My cat brought in a lizard last night but it escaped somewhere into the under stairs before I could rescue it. I guess I have a pet lizard now too.

      Unless your house has leaks, you’ll probably just discover a dried up lizard when renovating some day

    I’d say Sarah doesn’t know much about cats or is just lazy.

    Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don’t. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.

      Feather on a string on a stick used to keep my cat in the 90s entertained for hours. Also laserpen. This was before we found out laserpens cause cats depression.

      You might also be surprised at how incompetent they are when they try to hunt down the said piece of paper

      My cats go absolutely nuts for their wand toys they will pull the toy out of the drawer and drag it to me to play with them. But they are also very content to play with their miscellaneous small toys like balls, stuffed mice, qnd especially plastic springs. A bag of cat springs is maybe $5 and they go apeshit for them .

        A lot of people put some in their weed. I usually do lavender, but have been thinking about trying catnip. I don’t think i should just use the atuff they sell at my local Walmart though

            What kind of shitty cooking are you doing that you gotta put salt and pepper in your food? I have a jar of lavender from my old garden and a pinch of lavender goes in whenever i grind up weed because it tastes great and takes a bit of the edge off of weed. Some people like to throw in a little bit if mint to help with flavor, or chamomile to help with sleep, or rose petals and jasmine to get a bit more umph.

        I’d say it’s as much as a drug as drooling when you see a cake. It’s not psychoactive per se but rather triggering a hereditary response in their brains. I don’t think the molecule ever reaches the brain
