Hi there. Your post would be better asked in our Simple Questions thread. It helps us keep the main subreddit focused around broader discussion rather topics which only apply to an individual. Thank you!

Hey there , I'm sorry I had no idea that was a thing I'll take a look !!

Thank you kindly.

You are very welcome. Hope you find some good friends. :)

I personally recommend you look up reviews for books you disliked and find other people that also disliked them. Works better for finding new worthy reads.

Friendship through hatred always does wonders.

It is more like, if certain things are an automatic 'no' for you, people for whom it is also an automatic 'no' will mention them in reviews.

But also shared hatred. It is cathartic to dislike a book and see your GR buddy write a scathing review.

Yeah that sounds perfectly put.

How many cats do you have if I may ask?

Both of mine passed away last year. Two weeks apart. So at this point none. I am trying to persuade a feral mama kitty to let me catnap her, though.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what it's life.

I hope you can persuade the new kitty.

Thank you. It was tough, I mean it still is, but it was too. :)

If there is any hope to mama kitty being an inside kitty, she will be mine.

I've always wanted a pet.

Did they make you happier? Or I guess did they make you feel less lonely?

It is a double-edged sword. When they eat your plants and puke behind the TV where you cannot reach, and make it so you cannot keep a scrap of plastic anywhere where they can choke on it, and jump on your tender spots at 6am because they are hungry, you want to toss them out of the window.

But then they squint their little eyes just right when you pet their nose. And they curl on your lap and wiggle their feets in their sleep. And they come snuggle with you and roll to expose their belly with just so much love in their eyes, you would give them anything and everything they ask for.

Having a pet is a lot of responsibility. They are essentially depending on you for EVERYTHING. Food. Shelter. Medical care. Interaction. But that is also the rewarding bit, knowing you are providing all of that and they are thriving. Also they are soft and squishy and you can pick them up and nuzzle them whenever you want and they cannot do a thing about it because you are so much bigger. :)

Thank you kindly, you've given me a lot to think about :)
