I confess I donāt understand how they could possibly build the entire place with basements and foundation and shit without removing the bodies in the movie so I canāt watch the movie in the right spirit nowadays either lol.
Ah, when youāre floating out the concrete and an arm or skull pops out you just jam it back down. Couple of swipes with the trowel and youāre good to go.
You donāt have time for many questions pouring concrete like āWhoās arm is that?ā. If that stuff sets up and itās not finished it will be jackhammering till your ass shakes loose.

So, I had just gotten done with my workout at home and I went out to take a walk just to get some steps in. Fast forward a bit, and Iām at a location that is 10-15 minutes away from my place. I was walking when I saw a cat. I walked up to it (as some of you know, I love cats) and I realized it was a feral cat. Very worn out hair, extremely skinny, and its eyes didnāt look to be too healthy.
I called it and it looked at me. It wouldnāt run away, honestly had the IDGAF attitude. I didnāt try and pet it because I didnāt know what the reaction could have been. I want to stress how bad a condition it looked to be in. So I ran back to my place, got some cat food, got in my car, and quickly drove back there. It was 9.40 and we have a curfew that starts at 10, so I didnāt have much time but I gave it my best shot.
Unfortunately, when I got there the cat wasnāt there anymore. I searched the area thoroughly, but to no avail. In the middle of it, I actually bumped into another cat, which looked to be stray too although in a much better shape. I fed it half of the food I had and I managed to shortly pet it too.
Iām happy that I at least got to help a soul out, although my heart was set on finding the one I had seen earlier.
After half an hour of looking around, I had to give up and drive back home. I am not exaggerating this if I say that I was nearly in tears. I wanted to help that cat out so bad. It looked like it had pain written all over its face. I left the rest of the food I had brought in the spot where I had originally seen it, hoping it will come back there before some other animal does.
Tomorrow evening Iāll be going to the same place and see if I can find it this time.

Do they have shelters where you live? Lots of opportunities to help out cats (or dogs or other small animals). Thereās usually a trap and then neuter/spay program to help reduce and control the feral population problem.

I think thereās one. Problem is there are tons of restrictions in place right now so Iām not even sure itās open to public currently. Iāll look into it and see what kind of services they offer.
Itās funny because it used to be totally different. Iād always been scared of dogs and never cared for cats. Just completely uninterested.
Last summer things changed radically. I think I have told this story somewhere on here. Basically I was moving furniture to my new house with my dad, and a cat walked past us with a canary in her mouth. My father stopped her and took it out; it was still alive and made it. Since the cat just surrendered it and didnāt fight or do anything, my father went to the grocery store and got food for her as a reward. The rest is history.
Anyway, Iām really trying to get what I saw earlier out of my mind for now. Itās not like it was the first stray cat Iād seen, but for some reason, it crushed my soul. I pictured what that cat could look like if I managed to feed it, and maybe even take it with me and bring it to a shelter where they can take good care of it. As I was heading back to my place to get the food and car I pretty much knew the chances of finding it again were slim, but I kept on hoping.
Really wish I could have done something for that poor cat today.

I confess that lately Iāve been buying a gallon of milk, immediately drinking 1/4 of it, and then funneling in 1/3 a bag of protein powder into it.
Edit: on a non lifting related note, I have been letting my dog dig a hole in the back yard. My fiancee gets pissed because she trips in it every once and a while, but I let the dog keep digging because I want to see how far down she can go. As of this exact moment, itās about half a dog deep.

Now this is exciting. Keep us posted!

I will give regular updates. Depth will be measured by how much dog I see out of the hole at a fixed location in the yard.

This is the beginning of hole #1. She has recently abandoned this hole for one she started a few days later. I will upload a more recent pic when itās light out.

damn! Thatās deep. For some reason, I expected your dog to be tiny
I love cats, but try not to fret too much. Stray cats die, dude - it happens, and feeding every one you see leads to more stray cats, and then thereās less food to go around, and more starving stray cats. The best thing you can do for a stray cat is either leave it alone, or trap it, neuter/spay it, and release it.
Your heart is in the right place, though. But as I said, big picture - feeding strays makes more strays. Also, adult, feral strays that go to shelters either get put down or die in a cage in an unfamiliar prison, but they donāt get adopted, so donāt beat yourself up - not much you could do here.

My old dog, a pit mix, would run down any and all types of critters no matter what it took. What really surprised me though was that one fall while walking in a park she went after a chipmunk, digging like crazy to get it. Not unusual. Then winter came and went, and back to the park we go, but she then proceeded to the same hole 4 months later, and continued after the chipmunk.
Now That surprised me.

The feral cat may not be feral. And it most likely needs to be taken to the vet since Iām assuming it has a feeder as the other cat you fed that roams the area is fat. Try to find the feeder and capture it together if you can.
Is there a an animal society you can borrow a humane trap from? Give a couple of them a call.
Other method is to feed it and scruff the fucker while itās eating and donāt let go no matter how much youāre getting scratched lol.
EDIT:
I notice the cat you fed looks like itās ear is tipped(cut off a bit at the tip on one). I canāt be certain from this pic but if you notice it was tipped, then someone is definitely feeding it since a tipped ear means it was trapped before by someone who paid for itās neutering and returned to itās original territory.
Call the animal shelters for a trap or look out for the feeder in the area.
