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.

That’s an interesting one that I’ll have to try out!

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

Thanks, waited exactly for someone to do this when I saw the image.

👏

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.

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.

However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.

I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.

So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

Look at that pure wrath in its little face!

Second this! Ich verstehe es auch nicht ganz, weil das sinnvollste (kommt natürlich auf die Menge an) einfach drübermähen (am besten mit Mulcher natürlich) ist. Und das ist zeitgleich auch noch das einfachste… ich sammel immer genug für ein, zwei Häufchen für Igel, Insekten etc mit dem Rechen weg; der Rest bleibt kleingemäht auf dem Grün.
