@Matthew010 woah hold on there sunshine, thats what nintendo life say when you (by Accident) try to put up the same reply twice

I was wonder trading on two different systems and ended up trading pokemon with myself.

@StableInvadeel There's a sad melancholy about that.

Tbh I'm surprised it only happened once, you would think not that many people would be playing the sixth gen Pokémon games at the same time in 2019, but I got trades from all around the world.

@Ninfan I just tested it and it does indeed. Interesting!

@Matthew010 i thought it sounded funny .

@StableInvadeel is that funny or a let down

Final day off, then back to the grind tomorrow. Getting some stuff in order now that I'm back in my usual surroundings. Most of the weekends for the rest of the month are filled with weddings, so it'll definitely be a busy one.

I used to do this all the time until the GTS became a thing. In today's society, what're the chances, eh?

@Roronoa11 They didn't play polyrhythm at the San Jose show (but they had to start late so I think it got cut for time) however I know they played it at other shows for that tour and it's a classic so I would expect it. Electro World came back though. The MC section is so funny. Still the best stage performers that I've ever seen though. I've seen them twice now. Of course if you are seeing them in Japan you get the full size show, they have to make their shows smaller for the US.

You can add me on 3ds but I don't play it much anymore so it will take time for me to add you back.

@Tyranexx huh, the GTS is older than wonder trade

@StableInvadeel I wasn't referring to online functions, I was making a subtle nod at trading with myself by using two systems and a link cable. There were proper trades with others, but it became easier once my bro received a GBC.

Aww, sideshow collectables has a new Ryu statue.Must resist...that is DQ Switch money.....

Can Somone tell me if there is a SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM forum or thread

I did a search @Ninfan and couldn't find one. But then again Nintendolifes' search engine is no google search. So if you want one the ball is in your court.

Uhh so Theres this neighbor that lives next door who's an "Ok guy" I guess. Hes Kind of strange but no big deal. He feeds all the animals, stray and all, so we always have these wild animals coming into our yard. Coons, oppossums, foxes etc. Sucks because we have a dog we can rarely let out just in case there's some wild animal that may attack him. Anyway the main animals he feeds are cats. Theyve gone to the bathroom in my yard and all sorts of stuff. I like animals and all but it's kind of annoying I end up cleaning up messes.

Fast forward to earlier this week. I saw a smaller black cat walking around my house a couple times. Assumed it was one of his. Just a couple hours ago, I look out my front window and I see 4 maybe 5 (hard to tell) small baby kittens. A little larger than my hand but have their furr already. I walked over to his house and both his daughter and he, looked really inconvenienced when i asked if one of their cats had kittens. He seemed p!$$ed off that i was asking and I wasn't even done talking and he opened the door and walked back in, shutting it on me.

One of those moments where you feel kind of stupid but you shouldn't because you didn't do anything stupid. Really got under my skin since this dude is the cat whisperer with like 4 walking around his yard all the time. Some don't even live in his house.

So i call animal control and they say I have to box the kittens up and the mom. I'm like.... wait what? So the hard part, I need to Do? I wish i had that job where I stroll in when the jobs done. No offense to anyway who is in this line of work. Point Is. How am I suppose to track down 4 kittens and a mom cat who'll be protective? I'm not the turtle man.

Guess I'll call the humane society tomorrow when they open. I just worry these little guys will.get eaten by coons

@NintendoByNature The part of me that has always wanted a cat is like "I still want a cat!" but I live in a small studio apartment and even if I made room for a litter box and everything, it's not allowed. Also I'm not home for 8-10 hours a day and wouldn't be able to take care of the cat...

Back to your issue though, sounds like the neighbor doesn't know how to deal with people. And that animal control is overly worried about liability issues. If it were anything but a live animal, I'd say box it up and dump it on their lawn. But the cats didn't do anything wrong. Just kinda sucks that you are forced into dealing with them.

@NintendoByNature I had the same cat problem at my old house in Carolina. There was an old couple across the street that would feed cats and it got to the point that there were hardly any squirrels in my yard (had loads of oaks), and any bird smaller than a falcon just vanished. Animal control had me on a two month wait list to provide traps. But once I started, it took a few weeks to drop them all off at the shelter. I think it’s pretty irresponsible in a suburban environment, and it gives the cats (and dogs) a crap quality of life too. I mean, Jack is missing an eye, for pete’s Sake 😂

Also, I believe the correct term for strays is now Unpaired Companions 😜

There are some cats usually wandering around near of my house.
Sometimes i heard a choir of "Woooow... " from couple of male cats at night.

@Heavyarms55 yea it's a bit annoying and I've thought about putting many of items on his lawn, not caused by animals .but in all seriousness, it was pretty rude the way he left it and just started walking away. for a car dude I would've thought he'd be all over having some more kittens. Especially cute little ones that are so small. Ah oh well, I guess he'll learn when my dog "accidentally does business in his yard. Just kidding .......or am i? Mwaha. Stay tuned lol.

@HobbitGamer yea it's kind of bad. There's way too many creatures lurking about because all the stuff he throws out .I usually take my dog out late at night too. Scares the crud out of you when something creeps up at midnight. How could I be so careless? To all the unpaired companions , my sincere apologies go out to you and you. ; )

@anti-matter how do you know they're male lol? I couldn't tell a male cat from a female

@NintendoByNature I'm assuming your neighbor's primary goal is to feed the cats? If so, it's hard to avoid feeding varmints like raccoons and possums too. They LOVE cat food. If he's deliberately feeding them though...not good. That's just expanding their reliance on humans, which is a nope.

How old are the kittens? If their eyes and ears are open, they're safe to handle and generally can't get around too well until they're roughly a month old. As for the mom....The best I can suggest is borrowing a live trap and luring her in there with food if she's a shy stray.

Edit: It's also pretty easy to tell a male cat from a female unless they've been spayed or neutered. Young kittens are harder to figure out sometimes though. (Unless we're talking about night fighting. Most of the time, yowling between two cats is indeed male vs. male, though females can be petty and get into scuffles too.)
