OP: [makes a post]
OP's mutual: #this looks like a 10k note post to me!
OP: No! You can't do this to me!
Me: OP says they don't want notes, so I can ruin them by giving them more notes!
Me: However, a clever poster would CLAIM they don't want more notes because they would know that only a great fool would take them at their word. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose to add more notes to this post!
Me: But OP must have known I was not a great fool; they would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose to scroll past this post!
OP: You've made your decision then?
Me:
young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can
Cats and snow don’t mix
Ok wait let her speak
Are y’all bored as I am while stuck inside? Are your cats driving you crazy? A good way to keep you and your cats sane during quarantine is to create some home-made puzzle feeders!
All of the puzzle feeders I will be making today are created using scrap recycling and cat toys found around my house. If you don’t have all the materials, get creative and see if there’s anything else you can repurpose!
Materials Needed:
Egg carton
Cat toys
Treats
Step 1: Place treats or dry kibble in the bottom of each compartment of the carton.
Step 2: Cover each compartment with cat toys.
Step 3: Enjoy!
Modifications: To make this easier for some cats, remove the toys so the treats are visible. To make this puzzle harder, keep the lid on the carton so your cat has to tear through it first.
Materials Needed:
Toilet paper roll
Newspaper
Cat treats
Step 1: Put treats into the toilet paper roll
Step 2: Stuff newspaper in both ends
Modifications: To make this easier for some cats, loosen the newspaper or use smaller pieces that can fall out on their own. For a more difficult toy, crumple the ends of the tube so it is more difficult to get the paper and treats out.
Materials:
Toilet paper roll
Scissors
Tape
Small treats
Step 1: Cut some holes in the tube (large enough for treats to come out with movement).
Step 2: Tape one end of the tube.
Step 3: Add treats.
Step 4: Tape the other end of the tube.
Modifications: For an easier toy, add more/larger holes. Add fewer holes to increase difficulty.
Materials:
Cardboard
Paper towel/toilet paper tubes
Scissors
Glue
Tape
Treats
Step 1: Cut your toilet paper tubes into varying heights. Make sure to cut them to a length shorter than your cat’s legs.
Step 2: Glue the tubes onto your large cardboard piece.
Step 3: Tape your cardboard piece onto a flat surface to prevent it from moving.
Step 4: Fill the tubes with treats!
Modifications: Cut the tubes shorter to make this puzzle easier. For added difficulty, stuff newspaper or toys into the tubes.
As a note: always watch your cats while they are using puzzle feeders to ensure they do not eat anything they are not supposed to!
