YSK you can grow trays or pots of young cereal grasses, often called “cat grass”, for your cats to nibble on, which may help them pass hairballs.

YSK you can grow trays or pots of young cereal grasses, often called “cat grass”, for your cats to nibble on, which may help them pass hairballs.

Why YSK: many carnivorous species also ingest plants for various reasons. Domestic cats are believed to consume grasses primarily for their fiber content. In this regard, cat grass supplants nibbling on houseplants or lawn grasses

edit: yes, it does mean your cat will throw up more often. But cats need to pass hairballs, one way or another (^^), if they don't - it may develop into a hairball obstruction, which means a massive vet bill and/or even death. Getting rid of it by throwing it up (rather than go all the way to the rear) is much safer, the deeper the ball gets, the higher the risk of an obstruction gets.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Cliff Burton's untimely death. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Metallica for seven years of amazing music.

To those who feed their snakes live rodents: this is what rats can do to hard, solid wood, simply out of boredom and the need to grind their teeth down. Now imagine what those teeth can do to your snake if a strike goes wrong and the rat decides it’s not going down without a fight.

And if you’re still not convinced, Google “pet snake rat bites.” Just a warning: the images you'll see can be extremely graphic and gory.

A "stash all" button would be such a nice quality of life addition, especially for people who have their runners do maps all the time

Every time my runners are done, this is my inventory. Every time I need click every single item... Those click do add up...

How about a simple "stash all" button that appears when opening your stash?

Clicking it would:

  1. send every item in the inventory to a corresponding affinity stash.

  2. no affinity for an item/duplicated unique/no space/etc? Send it to the currently opened stash.

  3. Can't send it to the current stash? Just leave it for the user to deal with "manually".

what you think?

Just watching "that look" and can't help myself to think - David Mitchell is so much better actor than Robert Webb

Don't get me wrong, I love Webb, but even if they put makeup, wigs, costume on him and he plays a mean character... he's still Webb in makeup, wig and a costume acting like he's mean.

Mitchell on the other hand.. He can disappear in a role and become the character he plays. Which is even more impressive considering the materials he has to work with (mostly his face) ;)

My runner boys did not bad last night. Tonight I may consider giving them an extra slice of old bread for dinner.

Byłem lata temu w Bazylice Św. Piotra w Rzymie. Obok mnie jakiś dziadek myje innemu dziadkowi stopy w misce i je potem całuje. Obrzydliwe. Jak w jakiejś saunie dla, tfu!, gejów czy co

Can we undoubtedly rule out that Roger was the Zodiac killer? If you compare PInk Floyd US tour dates with the crimes a very, very disturbing pattern appears...

Home-made rat biscuits - easy to make, versatile, cheap and rats absolutely love those

One part oatmeal (whole),

One part outmeal flour - outmeals blended into flour.

You can add basically whatever you desire (and that is safe for rats) - shredded carrottts, apple, slghtly undercooked and mashed/blended broccoli, pumpkin, pasta, rice, dog peanut butter (NOT the regular "human" one), roasted soy flour, choped fresh herbs, seeds etc etc etc. Your imagination and rat safety is the limit here.

Knee the dough (if too dry add water, if too runny add oat flour), roll flat between 2 sheets of baking paper, bake in low temperature (around 150C) until you think they're crispy enough for your liking. It depends how thick/thin you roll them. At that low temperature it's really hard to burn them, they'll just get more dried out the longer you keep them in the oven.

I always make a big batch, portion and freeze. Take out of the freezer for a few hours to defrost or put in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, let cool, serve.
