@rufustheduck @greem ours strictly know that if they want to go out, they have to wear the harness. We just adopted a newly trapped cat and he’s adjusting to it but until he gets it, he’ll just be a strictly indoor cat. He seems fine with that. Our cat Max is a Siamese so he’s a very dog like cat to begin with. He’ll come running when I pick up the harness and purr while I put it on but we’ve been walking him for 10 years now since we got him.

@rufustheduck @greem we have a lot of coyotes in our neighborhood despite living in Seattle, so unsupervised outdoor time is definitely not an option that I’d consider.

@rufustheduck Back when he was young, we tried taking Knold outside with a harness. It was relatively fine, but when we built our catio, we didn’t keep it up.
A few years ago, we tried putting on a harness on him again. Let’s just say that I recognize your description😹

@jesper_linnet I tried putting it on TIGHT and he still got out of it in 0.0001 seconds

@rufustheduck @irene @greem
Ya, it can take a while. Also the trick when they are outdoors is they will walk away from you backwards. When they do that they can slip their front elbow out, then it's game over. Leave slack if they try and do that. 😺 -
@rufustheduck @irene no coyotes in Loughborough either, but we do have to check the garden before letting the dog out. Badgers and foxes are regular visitors.

@rufustheduck Hrm... so somewhere like East Leake, Melbourne, Coalville, Birstall, Thurmaston, Kegworth, Syston, East Goscote. Ish!

I put multiple bells on his collar to make sure birds and mice can hear him coming
Now he's so loud, I can usually tell where he is, even when he's streets away
But I think he's annoyed because I made him look like a Christmas tree and sound like Santa's sleigh

@greem bingo! Coalville. I'm classy

@rufustheduck Hehe. When I first moved here in 1990 as a student, people told me all sorts of horrors about Coalville.
Some of them turned out to be wrong 😉
I moved down here from an old steel town so I understood what the good people of the town had gone through - and that under the blanket of deprivation there were mostly good folks, just struggling to make ends meet.
And now, ok a lot of them are with Amazon, but there's a huge number of jobs there.

@greem Sheffield? Because I lived there in the late 90s too
Coalville in 1990 was a very different place. There were still a couple of working mines

@rufustheduck Nah, Irlam - between Manchester & Warrington. At worst in the early 80s, the unemployment rate for 18-55 ages was somewhere in the region of 30-35%. It was pretty grim.
I worked in Leicester from mid 93 to mid 97, which is when Coalville reached a real low point. And then I worked in Corby, before moving back to Loughborough.
It seems that I had something of a penchant for former industrial towns.

@rufustheduck Maybe he looks pissed not because of you but because of his BLOODY TINNITUS!!!

@greem so Coalville reached its low point just as I left...? Sounds like they were mourning the loss of their favourite son

@rufustheduck Careful, I tried the bell trick once upon a time and it merely honed his skills to an obscene degree. That cat became Death Incarnate, unseen, unheard. Once caught a squirrel.

Please, please don't put bells on the cat, his ears are suffering. It's torture...

I washed the curtains on the kitchen windows. They came out clean, but they shrank a little.
Not enough for anyone to see me from outside, but I have to remember not to go into the kitchen in my underwear or, worse, without anything on.

@giuliomagnifico La statistica che ho citato riguarda la potenza di cluster di GPU, quindi parliamo specificamente di AI.

Prosegue il drenaggio dei Tories da parte del partito di Farage. L'ultimo spenga la luce.

@quinta
Per motivi che meriterebbero un approfondimento, l'opinione pubblica nostrana - operatori e consumatori dell'informazione - preferisce raccontarsi un'Italia e un'Europa deboli, inerti, inconcludenti, passive, destinate alla capitolazione. Dai toni sembra quasi esserci una specie di compiacimento...
