Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150):

I am jealous that you're seeing New Order.

There are a LOT of songs titled "California". My favourites are probably the one by Low and the one by Joni Mitchell.

I'm kind of amused there's a Lucksmiths song called "California in Popular Song".

@hyper: I'm genuinely jealous of pet owners. Because I can't have them here where I rent. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I kind of remember cats sleeping at the foot of my bed. I miss that. If I could get a cat today I would probably wear it out by giving it too much affection.

No pet shop
But one of the best shows
I EVER caught
Was at a pier by the intrepid on the
Hudson
New Order & Echo & the Bunnymen
With Ray Manzarick
First date with the love of my life
Long gone now.
Love tore our lips like sugar apart.
Bye Jennifer
Have an awesome trip
Color me jelly
Awesome show. I’m back in the 80s
And I’m loving it.

@Pax My last cat was super affectionate, new one needed some time but is a spunky sweetie now. About 2/3 of the apt listings disappeared after ticking the pet box. We often end up settling so we can be with our fur babies. Worth it for all that unconditional love.

@hyper: I commend you and yours for being dedicated pet owners. I hate people that use that reason for an excuse to get rid of their current pets. And then somehow magically for some reason they get new ones only to find after a while a new excuse to get rid of those pets. Serial pet owners I guess is what you call them, their really not interested in being dedicated owners, they just want brand new cute baby pets all the time. These people are unconscionable selfish unfeeling pricks. They're a big part of why there are so many abandoned and emotionally hurt pets

Don't forget about pandemic pets, Pax. People getting cats and dogs dropped off (shelters were closed), supply chain issues which made animal products scarce, and not to mention many new owners having no prior pet experience.

My partner volunteers at a cat shelter once a week. Fur and Feathers in Shirley Solihull UK. They are always packed, really sad but a great set up. Cats rule.

Pippa is an ace name for a cat! We love our Suzie and Mabel but only realized after naming them, it's S&M for short. Or worse, M&S* (*UK chain shop selling food and underwear). We got ours from South Birmingham UK Cats Protection. Once you take on a pet, the commitment is for life, whatever. Much love everyone, give your pooches and pussy cats a squeeze from WFMU LITE x
