WGMG: Pokémon Go. Get a fucking life people :lol:

So do humans. But y'know, let's just blame cats for all the problems.

Tbf most people actually playing it are being encouraged by the game to get outside. So it's kind of getting them a life :lol:

perthjay - my vet recommended we let our cat outside.

For the first 3 years of its life it was strictly indoors - we only took it outside under heavy supervision and/or it got out and we'd immediately bring it back in.

During that time it was by no means fat or lazy - it just looked like a standard cat. But every time we'd take it to the vets for yearly needles, or whatever, the vet would always say the cat was on the heavier side of normal and when we told him we always keep it indoors, he'd strongly advise letting it out to run, jump, explore & exercise more.

When babyv4 was in utero we figured it was as good a time as any to try it out, so we just let the cat out during the days and expected the worst things to happen (neighbours dogs to attack it, as they are let out usually, or bitten by spiders/worse under the house, etc). But it's been 2 years now and the cat loves life. Knocks on the back door every evening before dark to be let back in. There's only been one night we couldn't find it and it stayed the night out - but it's whole life we've had a collar with bell on it so we didn't feel too bad, and noticed no dead animals around the next day.

Recently took her to the vets for yearly needles and the vet was just buzzing that we finally let her out, and said physically she was perfect weight and healthier than ever (not that she was ever unhealthy).

So yeah, not all vets etc will recommend strictly indoors. At night, sure, but during the day I think the recommendation is to let them exercise a bit.

Something that mrsv4 and I are still confused about though is the cat will knock on the back door to bet let back in to go to the toilet. For some reason, years on now, she still apparently hasn't figured out she can use the entire outside world as a toilet :lol:

There's no hypocrisy here, champ. I value all life but unfortunately, our native wildlife are sitting ducks to cats. I'd rather see declawed cats than the extinction of our unique wildlife.

I saw one adult who easily was in his 30s walk into a pole in the city glued to his phone with a devilish grin on his face this morning. After a couple people stopped to ask if he was OK, he replied he was playing Pokemon.

I hope next time he gets hit by a bus and learns his lesson.

Everything ok mate?

You've been MIA for a while.

WGMG: As if breaking up with someone you love wasn't hard enough, the girl I was going out with for 9 months is now seeing another guy.

WGMG: Shin splints. I've had them for almost a year and they've gotten to the point where sometimes just walking can aggravate them. Fuck playing football when I have to limp around after any sort of physical activity.

Will they ever go away or have I done permanent damage?

Didn't you post about this last week?

Is it the same other guy that she left you for, or a different one?

Lol shit yeah you're right, I just had it confirmed from the source instead of rumour. Some random bloke she met at a party, which makes it worse.

Are you seeing a professional for them?

Damage won't be permanent, but they also most likely won't go away on their own.

Not seeing a physio but GP recommended rest (not working) and mum won't listen to me when I'm telling her how goddamn bad they've gotten, even with rest.
