   Most disposable lighters still use a flint and a metal spark wheel to ignite the fuel.

   It is possible to refill a disposable lighter, there are youtube videos showing how.

   I have several scratching posts scattered around the house. My cat doesn’t touch ’em. Occasionally he scratches the couch. Mostly, though, he enjoys scratching the carpeted stairs. The top of each step. Sigh

   Looks more yellowish than grey on the fringes, courtesy of this slapdash colorist.

   I will always have kidney stones for the rest of my life, luckily they get passed before they become too big. I can feel one or two pass every couple of days.

   Surgery for kidney stones is an incision almost from belly button back to the spine, very invasive and leaves a nasty scar. When I had my kidney stones removed it was done by lithotripsy. Ultrasound to break up the stones. Then elimination of the destroyed stones by the urinary tract. Like peeing sand for several weeks.

   Kidney stones, multiple. I know what living with them can be like. Even after getting rid of the two decades ago I still have to be careful to not let a stone get big. shudder

   Cats can’t digest dairy products well, so feeding a cat cheese except in very small doses is not a good idea. Lactose intolerant.

   The daily strips drawn by Sparky were originally uncolored, so now it is up to the individual colorists to determine what shade to use.

   At least they are staying within the lines.

   The idea goats eat tin cans likely comes from a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short from the 1930’s and/or 1940’s, though I can’t cite “chapter and verse” about which cartoon. If any.

   Goats are inquisitive critters, and will nibble and chew on something new and unusual, just as a human would touch and feel something with their hands. Of a baby pops something into their mouth. So fast forward to a cartoon with goats eating cans and the myth is born.
