    The thirteen month calendar accounts for this. Every four years at the end of the year, you have a month that is 1 day long, and is simply called “New Year’s Day”.

    Personally I would hate this calendar because birthdays and holidays will always be on the same day of the week. Born on a Monday? Your birthday will always be on Monday for the rest of your life.

    I walk my cat everywhere with one of these and they’re great. It’s a struggle getting it on but once I do, he gets excited for his walk.

    The secret to walking a cat is to let them go where they want, within reason of course (which is what the harness is for). If you try to force them to stay on a path like a dog, it’s never going to happen. They will sit down and protest. They will take you on a adventure but it’s a fun way to see the places the cat wants to go. And if they protest too much anyway, a gentle tug on the leash should get them moving again because no cat wants to get dragged. (If they keep sitting down it’s time to end the walk.)

    Edit: Obviously this won’t work for every cat, but if yours is always trying to sneak outside, they’ll likely be receptive to walks once they get used to the harness.

    Edit 2: They should be walked for at least an hour minimum, ideally several times a week, if not daily. This is especially true for indoor cats (and all cats should be indoor cats if you care about your local small animal population).

    (By the way, get them a harness with a lot of padding. I replaced the one in the first photo cause it was digging into their skin . And sorry for the shitty image quality. The lens was scratched up and my hands are shaky. I got a new phone after taking these.)





  • Even then they still managed to fuck it up sometimes. My 22-year-old 350Z has the three knobs but does this stupid fucking thing where it turns on the A/C when you set the air to recirc, as if it believes that I’m dumb enough to drive around and let the windows fog up. I live in the fucking desert; not a problem here—and even if it was—all you gotta do is switch back to fresh air or roll down the windows for a bit.

    It’s so god damn annoying because sometimes I just want to run the heater without smelling everyone’s exhaust, but can’t because the fucking thing thinks it’s smarter than me…
