I think the logic here is supposed to be something like:

more knowledge = more complex brain

as you need to “store” the knowledge somewhere.

I don’t say thats how it works but i can somehow see where OP is coming from.

And he is so eager doing so. Looks like the most important task all day with him runnig up to the path. He puts everything he got into smashing that ball onto the concrete as hard as he possibly can and is all fluffed up when that thing inevitably comes down again to nearly hit him. Almost like a toddler.

Sister 1 is #7, nothing she wont gobble down Sister 2 is #8, her true form is liquid to the point you wont understand even how

How about a cat of similar age? Ask for a social one, as he seems to like to cuddle with other cats. Also maybe one with a similar activity level (e.g. a Siamese might be to much energy for yours). But in the end you know yourcat best and need to try it out.

Also think about what you want. They should be somewhat compatible, yes, but its okay for you to want a cat to play and cuddle with, too.

So decide what you need and want, trust the people working at the shelter and your gut on this one.

Good look finding your next family member.

We stopped preparing/bringing the food whenever they started getting annoying and only continued as they went silent again. First 2 times took some time, after that they learned pretty quickly that silence gets the belly full quicker. This obviously only works with regular and sufficiently fed cats. As soon as one of ours needed to go on a brief diet (stomach flu) they started to get very vocal very fast and did only turn down their volume weeks after getting fed normally again. I think shes still salty about it months later… :(

Meanwhile on my frontpage:

Please look after your cat carefully for the next few days. My vet said they can get the big C too.

I can see what you mean. With a little joe gilgun and a spritz of drug abuse…

The only time i cried harder was while playing RiME, and part of it was how unexpected it was. That spiritfarer got to me was kind of expected from the start, still dived in head first.

Im generally interested, and would love to see one getting created, even if i am not in the position to participate in such a community right now as a new parent.

The community on the android app “sketch a day” was pretty nice last time i was around. I know its not the same, but maybe a temporary fix? :)

Western Germany:

mett

Basically raw ground pork with salt, pepper and onions. Obviously it needs to be super fresh and is Either served on half a bread roll or formed into a little hedgehog with the onions as the spikes.

rheinischer Sauerbraten

A marinated pot roast thats slightly sour. The traditional rheinische Sauerbraten is made out of horsemeat and has raisins in the sauce. Its super hard to find in restaurants in modern times. The dish was originally made to make older animals meat tender again.

Kesselsknall (named different in every village)

A dish made out of grated potato and onion mixed with egg and mettenden (coarsly ground and smoked pork sausages) browned and then baked in the oven. Often served with apple puree

Himmel un’ Ääd (“heaven and earth”)

Mashed Potato, apple puree and blood sausage

Muzen (not muzenmandeln) and Krapfen

Both is a form of Deep fried pastry. Krapfen are a bit like doughnuts without the hole, but much smoother and jucier inside. Most times made with raisins. Muzen are a bit harder and flat. Both are only sold around Karneval

Halve Hahn (loosly means “half of a chicken”)

One half of a rye bread roll (a “röggelchen” is often baked in doubles that are broken up for this) with a generous amout of butter a big fat slice of cheese (nearly always middleaged gouda), onions and pickles. Sometimes also mustard

Roter Heringssalat

Herringsalad with onions, apples, beetroot and cream

Yeah we like simple, hearty stuff with a twist of weird. And apple puree to town down the whole thing a bit.

Damn. Now im hungry.

Edit: formating

Oh, thanks for pointing that out! Thought it was indeed a blep.

One of mine brings leaves of some kind of water lilies from a neighbor we neither see from our house nor know. As the cats have (save) collars with our phone number on it, i half expect to get an angry call or visit sometime soon. Oh well. :D
