Oh no, those tights come off as soon as I walk in the house. I know who's in charge around there.

Why is she wearing elf shoes under her tights?

You sit on a bomb, you inevitably will blow up eventually. What did you expect? Oh, and go pick up shattered mugs from the kitchen floor...

When I was a kid we had a cat that would scratch on the wooden hand rail until it had curves. I was so upset when he died and my parents had it replaced.

My opinion (as a guy) is that tights and pantyhose ought to be for special occasions because they just aren't durable enough for everyday use. Either wear a skirt or dress without them, or wear pants.

As a woman, yeah. They look amazing in the right outfit, but I don't own any or any outfits that rely on them for that reason

Hahaha someone down voted you but I agree

That is why you should trim your cat's claws. Especially if the cat never leaves the house.

[-] Matty_r@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

No. Get a scratching post or two, you shouldn't need to trim them.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

You never have cat, do you? Because they will scratch whatever they feels like. Why stick to one pole/board when the whole house is their scratching post? Trim them nail often, it also allow you to play with them without getting injured.

I've actually had a lot of cats. Literally never needed to trim their nails. I guess we've got different ideas on how to look after cats. Each to their own.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I guess you're lucky? It's really nothing to do with "idea", all but one of my 4 cats is actively destroying my sofa no matter what i do, but I mean if you don't mind them destroy your furnitures or have no issue with them scratching something you don't want them to scratch, sure, go for it.

[-] Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Good for you that you have got cats that actually use scratching poles.

[-] Bazell@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 months ago

Agree with you. Despite this being stressful to the pet, it is necessary to avoid possible damage from the cat. The only exception is if cat is allowed to go outside. Then it is better to leave them so that it can climb the tree or anything else when is chased by dogs or whoever else.

For most cats, untrimmed nails are not dangerous. They naturally shed the outer layer, and will instinctively scratch stuff to help the shedding process along.

As cats get older, this shedding process slows down, so some cats start having issues with overgrown nails. That is an issue, that does require trimming their nails to treat.

If your cat does not have an issue with overgrown nails, the reason to trim them is for you, as it also fills them. If you have a kitten, it is a good idea to trim them regularly so they grow up used to it and don't have problems getting them trimmed if it becomes necessary in the future.

Tell that to the sensitive skin on the inside of my thighs and inner knees where my cat really likes to knead..

[-] Bazell@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

Say it to the cat. A lot of them will ignore all the scratching poles and instead ruin your table or sofa. Despite this procedure being stressful to your pet, this is necessary to do it sometimes. The only logical exception if the cat walks outside the house. Then, of course, it needs claws as weapons and tools to climb trees.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
