Damn right

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

It’s almost like they tell each other to check me out too.

My ex mother-in-law had a farm kitten that was mean to everyone, but would cuddle and play with me so long as I scritched behind it’s ears.

My brother’s girlfriend has three, and after one approached and I did the behind ears thing it meowed a bit and the other two started it until I distributed attention to them.

I’ve had the most skittish cats ever at least approach me. I’ve had the meanest cats befriend me.

I like to think it’s a superpower

My old house ended up with a mouse problem in the utility room (which was weird, we couldnt find where they were coming from, and never any mouse evidence in any other room, so we could only guess it was because it was warm? The mice were pretty skinny) And my single orange brain cell absolutely loved playing with them if they ignored the set traps and crawled under the door. He would play and play and play, until I guess the mouse simply died of exhaustion or maybe being chomped just right.

Anyway, it was dead, and he’d still bat it around, and eventually I’d hear him yowling as if he’d lost a toy somewhere he can’t reach, and sure enough he batted the dead mouse under the couch down there.

To this day, toy mice are by far his favorite thing to play with. He’ll play with feathered wands and catnip kickers, but a toy mouse he’ll play with alone or with you any time of day for up to a couple hours at a time.

Ok no more edits, just replies. The above used human values, and human doses. Cats likely have a different rate of everything, but the iodine rate of decay doesn’t change.

I mean I get the point the guy is showing, but it’s a very low dose dosimeter.

Radiation can be scary because it’s hard to understand, but it doesn’t have to be so scary every time you hear something click that fast.

For anyone curious - yes radiation therapy does this to humans too.

If you have like a blood draw while you’re radioactive they usually have to stick in in a lead box until it decays enough to not affect other samples or lab devices.

However, at 2000 cpm, you won’t be getting radiation sickness from your cat. You may get a small increase in cancer risk if you’re cuddling with it 24/he a day for a few days, but that doesn’t account for the sources Half-Life either

Edit:

I watched the video again, because I didn’t catch if the card had an equivalent dose for the counts. It does, in uSv/h. Since it’s 2300 cpm, it says >13 uSv / hr. We can probably use that lower value, but for shits and giggles we’ll say it’s 15. If the _Cesium iodine in the cat didn’t have a half life, in about 8 days 8 hours of cuddling with the cat he’d have been exposed to the same amount of radiation as a single mammogram.

Edit 2: I mistakenly said cesium, but it’s iodine they used - probably Iodine 125 with a half life of 60 days. The biological half life of iodine depends on where it ends up - 100 days for thyroid to 14 days in kidneys. I don’t know the half life of it’s decay products but they are stable. What’s cool about knowing this is we can calculate how long the cat will be radioactive. On the upper end, where the thyroid unrealistically holds 100% of the iodine, we can use the two half life values to figure out how radioactive he really was in 8 days with decay. Unless I did it way wrong, he’d have fallen below 2000 cpm in 8.3 days. In 60 days using that same estimate, it should have fallen to < 800cpm. Likely lower. All in all, no it’s safe to cuddle with your radioactive cat.

Edit 3: the lowest clearly linked dose to increased risk of cancer is 100mSv. Or ~278 days at the initial rate of constant cuddling.

Well there’s absolutely no way humans look as good as the one pictured, and I haven’t seen a cat work a day in its life it’s 100% the cat.

No cats are immortal you can’t convince me otherwise

I don’t know why mine used to, but then I separated and he yowls a lot less now. It’s really kind of weird. I think it has to do with knowing where I am

That’s SIR Cotton Candy to you h00min

My cat current has (or had) 3 mousey toys. I always get them out one at a time.

I don’t know how he loses them, where they go, but the last one disappeared last week and he is not having a great time. Yes he will get more, but mouseys don’t grow on trees, they come from the pet store.

Never mind this, I don’t want some poor fool googling that

My ex wife has the family’s neck breaker. He sleeps on the stairs like this, and purposefully darts between people’s legs while they are walking.

It’s only a matter of time before he succeeds at breaking a neck

I’m starting to wonder if the trolls are actually trolls that through selective breeding started to look more human like over time

Ok so, as a native English speaker, let me inform you, that whatever you think is a rule in English, isn’t. It’s a guideline. It’s a hard language because we lack structure. The native teachers are teaching you the basic guidelines, not actual conversational English, which varies heavily on location, and social group.

Ha, C&E are actually relationship needs of mine, friend.

In fact, I think the others are more indicative of my insecurities, but hey, I’m not anxious-avoidant so I don’t know for sure.

So ive put a lot of thot into this, and after going through what I did with my ex wife, I think it wouldn’t be a problem so long as

A. I know about it.

B. I get access to it and all paid content

C. No one else appears in it. This covers the whole “well that was an old video I uploaded” scenario too.

D. The relationship is otherwise secure.

E. But the real problem would be someone with an onlyfans wanting to date me.

“What’s stopping you from developing for diagonal mode?”

Diagonal Mode

I don’t

I’m just unattractive.

Like oh hey, I have a house and a job and a really cute kid and here’s one where I’m wearing a winter coat in 109F weather to show I’m funny

honestly I realize that dating apps are pretty much a scam.

Actually, they’re so much of a scam I’m sitting here with my AI assistant and webstorm and thinking about how I’d make a more legitimate dating website and it would just end up making me money by selling useless services to desperate singles too busy to meet other people

You guys really gotta stop eating ass.

I don’t mind y’all enjoying it sexually, we all have our stuff. But this one will inevitably get you sick unless you’re using barriers which we all know you aint

Edit: y’all nasty. there’s some stuff you can’t clean and I’m not taking about STDs

Passive aggressive? No, this is nonviolent rebellion. Someone clearly combined about that to the city.
