  • It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop

    I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)



  • I think most people make the assumption that the current owner has always been the owner, and therefore they’re the cause of obesity

    It also doesn’t help that the human obesity epidemic, and “body positivity” movement tend to normalize obesity in people’s minds. I think some of the comments (mine included) are a response to this

    Also, some owners just don’t realize that they are overfeeding their pets, nor the damage that does to their pets

    But that doesn’t mean rude, insulting, or assumptive comments are justified


    I would suggest mentioning your efforts at weight loss whenever you post pics, just to head off the stream of comments about the subject. That way, people can see you’re both cognizant and proactive with the issue



  • Yo, with all due respect, he needs to see a vet and loose some weight

    Obese cats have issues grooming themselves, which causes their fur to look disheveled, as well as poop buildup on their butts

    Also, all that extra weight causes arthritis and joint pain. Not to mention a host of other health complications and organ failure

    Also also, be aware that losing weight too fast can be fatal to cats (fatty liver disease), so it’s important to discuss this with your vet

    Girl With The Dogs has some informative videos on overweight cats
