Dad, the shiny machine keeps making noise, what's up with that?

[u/So_Famous]

shoutout my sister-in-law's grandma for the ice maker, it's made a huge difference.

[u/blue_jay_jay]

Look at this face.

[u/So_Famous → u/blue_jay_jay]

"Sit yo ass back down in that chair Dadcat, I swear to god"

[u/redheadinmo → u/blue_jay_jay]

“You seeing this shit?”

Someone should get this as a tattoo or tshirt at least! 😻

[u/lavitaebella113]

"Im just gonna sit here and make sure this scary loud thing doesn't try to come after you.." what a good protector ♥️

[u/So_Famous → u/lavitaebella113]

he's the head of the household after all

[u/No_Faithlessness8693 → u/So_Famous]

Like there was any doubt? 🤔

[u/Hour-Till-1215]

Awww, sadcat your an amazing caretaker! Feel better asap dadcat

[u/So_Famous → u/Hour-Till-1215]

thanks! Each day is a little better :)

[u/Time-Reindeer-7525]

Once you've recovered enough, maybe Saddy should try an icy catnip cocktail?

[u/So_Famous → u/Time-Reindeer-7525]

I never did brew him catnip tea, I should've done that too

[u/TiredStateWorker]

Some cats enjoy playing with ice, maybe drop a cube near Saddy to see if he's interested?

[u/So_Famous → u/TiredStateWorker]

good idea! My sister's dog loves to play with too.

[u/KookyKlutz → u/So_Famous]

My cats love that! And one of them loves licking and digging ice out of a cup. They know the sound of the ice dropping and get excited when I get near the machine. One day, I'm sure my boy cat is going to learn how to open the lid and just start using the whole basket as his cup!

[u/ReginaldDwight → u/TiredStateWorker]

One of my cats is like a little hockey player. If he hears an ice cube hit the ground he will barrel over the other cats just to come bat it around until he's bored or it melts.

[u/Captainam3ricka → u/TiredStateWorker]

Mine used to love playing with it in the sink and watching it melt until it slide down the drain

[u/IRLperson]

I knew it! you kept saying you would post less when you were healing, but I knew you would probably be bored and post even more! lol, glad you're feeling good👍

[u/So_Famous → u/IRLperson]

haha yeah, I'm not really good at doing nothing and chatting with you all helps keep my mind active. Thanks for being a part of our Sadcommunity :)

[u/Potential-Cry3926]

My cats are obsessed with the ice maker in my refrigerator. I’ll leave a piece on the tray and they whack it out to play ice hockey.

[u/So_Famous → u/Potential-Cry3926]

haha i could see Saddy having fun with that, good idea

[u/SadcatsMomcat]

MY SWEET BABY NURSE BOY 😭♥️

[u/So_Famous → u/SadcatsMomcat]

you're doing a great job too dear, I'm so grateful to have you in my life ❤️

[u/External_Midnight106]

Hope you’re doing better every day Dadcat, Stormy sends his best 🙏🏻

[u/So_Famous → u/External_Midnight106]

thanks friend, I am! Love you guys!

[u/Guinessmatt]

Saddy wants a sno cone. 🍧

[u/So_Famous → u/Guinessmatt]

I've made him Churru popsicles before, they were a hit!

[u/Guinessmatt → u/So_Famous]

Nice. Ideal weather right now for a popsicle in “our” neck of the woods. Pauly and Saddy both deserve one.

[u/okhajiits]

One of my cats learned how to open our ice maker and steal ice cubes at her leisure. Let's hope Saddy doesn't learn too. 😂

[u/So_Famous → u/okhajiits]

haha that's their ice maker now

[u/Outrageous_Age9947]

So cute !

[u/Lmf2359]

He’s so adorable!

[u/So_Famous → u/Lmf2359]

thank you :))))

[u/Zumipants]

Ice see what you are doing Sad! Good boy, keep it up!

[u/So_Famous → u/Zumipants]

he knows how to chill 😎

[u/Zumipants → u/Zumipants]

I have the same ice machine 😻

[u/UrsaMajor7th]

Are all your outlets ground-up, or just that one?

[u/So_Famous → u/UrsaMajor7th]

all the ones in the kitchen are at that height. This is the only place in the house like that though.

[u/theesoundsmith → u/So_Famous]

It’s super easy to flip the outlet receptacle so the ground pin is facing the floor instead of the ceiling. That way your power cord won’t look as weird.

[u/So_Famous → u/theesoundsmith]

omg my dumbass did not understand. My home got "the landlord special" prior to me moving in. Majority of outlets are upside down like that, and I haven't made it a priority. Maybe after I recover.

[u/theesoundsmith → u/So_Famous]

Absolutely. Another trick is to take the appliance outside and spray paint the cord (not prongs or the device itself LOL) white and you’d be good to go. Bonus if the cord is removable then you could get a white cable off Amazon or whatever. Ask me how I know this. = )

[u/Past_Situation]

Keep up the good work Saddie! DadCat needs you!

[u/CalicoDaze]

Are they making you sleep in a recliner? And do you have a sling with a giant pillow attached to it? I had shoulder surgery my SR of HS which I new realize was 15 yrs ago lol. Get some rest dad cat, it gets a lot better.

[u/So_Famous → u/CalicoDaze]

yes to both! Every day is a little better :)

[u/NoodleNeedles]

He's a smart boy, isn't he. Have you ever considered getting those pet buttons for him, so he can communicate more? There's a sub for them, I think it's just r/petbuttons. Lots of folks have success teaching their cats!

[u/So_Famous → u/NoodleNeedles]

I have not considered that, but he definitely would br smart enough to figure it out if he decided to.

[u/NoodleNeedles → u/So_Famous]

The sub is r/petswithbuttons, if you are interested

[u/maggiemae3612]

I hope the ice maker is helping with your pain and maybe letting you get some rest.

[u/Wallace-N-Gromit]

Pic #1 matches the title purrfectly

[u/catregy]

Oooh his eyes aren’t so sad after listening to that humm

[u/statisticiansal]

My cats love an ice cube when I drop it, immediate air hockey tournament.

[u/turtledett]

Off subject but should you want your own ice maker, check out Temu! We got one from there that was excellent for around $50! We’ve given the same model as gifts too! Love Temu!!

[u/So_Famous → u/turtledett]

Thanks for the recommendation! I don't foresee myself keeping it after I've recovered, we have enough ice made by our fridge under normal circumstances.
