I am exactly like that, too. But my mum is suuuuuuuuper sensitive about things like that and so is my brother. I used that same reasoning you did often enough to no avail.
Hmmā¦ I would say Iām not that bothered by it, either.
Theyāre called āTarzanelliā, here. Should I go on and explain the etymology?
Me neither I donāt think.
Me too. I get grossed out by chewing noises and people that chew with an open mouth, but I donāt care about gross discussions.
My addition (and advice) to this discussion:
Back to the 19.364 new posts since my lunch:
Argh. These picturesā¦
Art.
They could be listening!
They do: How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You - The Oatmeal
(I recommend the book. Or the App.)
Maybe I should do a poll.
Yes, please. Could be interesting.
Itās the opposite of when I pretend that brocolli is delcious.
Aaaahā¦ The vegetable of the evil!
I had a dog, once.
What happened? Was he eaten by a cat?

I might start using that now instead.

Yes! Me too. And when people bang the cutlery on their teeth.
The cats are very active this fine afternoon.
That ginger one is lovely. I mean, all cats are cute and I donāt like to discriminate, but (s)he(?) reminds me of our old cat, Fleur.

Yep, theyāre all girls. Leksi (Aleksandra sounds fairly feminine Iād say ) is a pure-bred tortie Maine Coon with a pedigree; the other two are from shelters. Hence Nushiās missing eye.
Now thereās a gross story to make you lose your appetite btw, @Someone. Wanna hear?

Uh ohā¦ Things like that donāt make me lose my appetite but I have a weird hyper-sensitivity when it comes to animals being hurt. Mind you, she seems okay now
Well, we donāt know how she lost her eye of course. I guess the most obvious possible causes would be another animal (whether mammal or larger bird) or some human artifact like barbed wire.
No, itās about how her missing eye suddenly started swelling up shortly after we got her.

Oh I see, sorry. Did it get infected?
So many cats!
What are their names?
I just melted! How many is that in total?

In a manner of speaking. It was fine when we got her, all healed up from her eye having been sewn up by a vet. Apparently that person hadnāt done it properly, because in the end we had to have our vet redo the eye operation.
Iāll spare you most of the details, but the worst was this time when it started swelling up really quickly to an insane degree, perhaps that was even the very first time because I remember we were in a bit of a panic, plus we had just moved and I barely had time to process anything since everything was just busy busy busy.
She jumped down from somewhere, my desk I think, and her eye literally exploded. Slightly pussy bloody liquid all over and of course she was hiding under the couch or something from the pain. Antibiotics helped, but it kept coming back after they wore off. We had the vet test the more minor swelling and most of the time it didnāt actually get infected, just liquid, but naturally it was just no good to keep on going that way.
