I wish someone had told me...

Thought I'd make a thread for all those random words of advice that might have saved you pain or embarrassment if only you'd known.

Like I wish someone had told me that long haired cats get crap stuck in their fur and smudge it all over the floor trying to get it out.

Buy a can opener before you buy cans or you'll slice open your finger trying to open a tuna can with a screwdriver and your wound will become infected. Every. Single. Time.

Over here the tuna cans have ring pulls.

We have those too, depends on the brand. My current tuna tins do not have ring pulls.

I wish someone had told me my long haired cat did not have a leaf stuck to her stomach fur but **** which may not even be hers, as she likes to go to the bathroom after someone's taken/taking a **** to smell it.
