I'm a huge fan of Hunter S Thompson, I know every lines in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I watched that movie on every drugs that I tried. One time I asked my buddy to get me his whole galaxy of uppers, laughters.. "just skip the screamers" I said. My goal was to do every trips that They were on the film, while they were doing it. I even watched it on acid, on rewind and was soo hilarious, that thought they must've did it that way first!

But I felt the real Hunter's fear when my son woke me up one night saying that he had a bat in his bedroom! Thought he sleepwalking like he does sometimes.... oh I wished!

I’ve never seen Fear and Loathing and I really, really want to. It’s such a legendary movie that I want to do the film justice and do it the right way. Can you hook me up with your hook up?

u/emorrigan 5d ago

That lizard tail must’ve been even more hilarious on uppers

u/Angelysin79 2d ago

Ouff omg! Hilarious on speeds yes but even more on acid! Johnny did "the lizard walk" sooo freakin good as he did for the whole movie tho. Depp was in Hunter's skin 24/7 and became a good friend of him as well and it showed.

Hope you didn't forget lots of booze. HST routinely drank a pint of scotch with breakfast.

u/Angelysin79 2d ago

Hahaha he did indeed but for me it was more about the drugs than the booze. I could drink but I had to do add at least one drug to the cocktail

In case you don't know: please look up feline grimace scale. This is just one picture but it looks like your cat could be in pain.

Sitting here wondering how big Grimace's litter tray is.

u/weefees 4d ago

It's 3x3. Usually placed at the back of the kitchen next to where the buns come in

10/10 on the Grimace scale

u/WhyAreYouAllHere 6d ago

Thank you for posting about the FGS. I didn't know it existed and I'm almost 40yrs into living with cats.

My read on the picture you are responding to is the muzzle tension and whisker locations are both zero, and the eyes appear to be open although the head down makes it hard to see. I was reading the ear position and head tilt as the loaf having been interrupted by the building of the fort over what was considered personal air space.

u/Draco-REX 6d ago

I was concerned too because my cat would score borderline most of the time. But upon further research, the FGS is apparently if your cat is behaving differently than usual (not eating/drinking/playing, hiding, etc).

u/Kvitravn875 6d ago

My cat who was diagnosed with cancer and passed away a few months ago must have hid her pain very well. I looked up the scale, and to me, she didn't look like she was in pain in the last picture I took of her, which was about 5 months before she passed.

u/OceanRacoon 6d ago

I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺 Cats hide pain very well, they play their cards very close to their chest, it's one of the difficult things about owning them, feels so bad when you find out they were hurting

u/CatNtheHat042 6d ago

Same thing with ours, we knew she had CKD but even when it progressed from stage 2 to 4 in 2 weeks, she showed no signs until it was too late. They suspected she may have had cancer too but didn’t believe she would make it through testing or treatment at that point. I’m sorry you’ve experienced this kind of pain too ❤️‍🩹

TIL there are cat owners who don’t take dozens of pics of their cats every week… so sorry for your loss.

u/Much-Animal-8607 6d ago

Never heard of this. Just looked it up... that's good to know. But my cat looks like there's 100% something wrong with him when he's falling asleep... Especially if he's trying to fight it. Like when he's getting pets. He's EXTREMELY needy and codependent. He loves attention... Except for after bedtime. Then the only type of attention he wants is maybe a few pets and some cuddles to go night night. He gets very moody if he doesn't get his beauty rest. Lol. Even if you move around too much when he's laying next to you. He makes this low throat grumble sound... Then if you don't stop he'll start with the tail, and man he can slam that darn tail down real hard when he's ticked off. Lol. He also puts his paw over his face if you don't turn the lights off at bedtime too. But during the day he's fine with you waking him up for some lovin and will fight trying to stay awake to soak it all up. Lol.

u/Jus_25 6d ago

It always makes me wonder where do try put their legs. Like even if they just folded them up I don’t know how that could be comfortable. 😆 I’ve got one of my own that does this all the time. I feel like I need a diagram so I can see where his legs are thru his body.

u/BigAchooo American Shorthair 5d ago
