If i could give a message to 10 year old me, it would be this: Hey dude, do me a favour? Can you buy one of every kind of chocolate bar and keep it locked up somewhere safe so that in 2024 when you're convinced they all used to be bigger when you were a kid, you have some solid facts to work from because the Internet isn't going to be any help with this one.

I'm remembering a football type game I used to play as kid.

Only goalies could forward pass with their hands, passbacks allowed.
You could kick the ball to move it forward like in soccer or just carry it. Thrown passes must be made behind the ball-carrier only (lateral passes).
You could score either by kicking or throwing, but only from outside of the smaller box in front of the net. You can jump into and throw within the crease like handball.
Tackling resembles rugby, rucks are stopped after a count of 8. There are no downs.
Offsides like soccer.
Scrum for the ball after play stoppages, except for out-of-bounds where the team that didn't cause the OOB gets a throw-in (as soccer); knocking or dragging the ball carrier OOB means that team retains possession.

It works better with a size 3 or 4 ball, rather than a full-sized (size 5) soccer ball.

If you can't herd them maybe you can composite them.

Take a picture of an arrangement of identical boxes (one for each cat). If possible, get as many cats as you can into the boxes.

Take separate pictures of each cat that didn't pose earlier in a single one of those boxes.

Photoshop the missing cats into the photo of the arrangement of boxes, one per box.

Profit.

I once photoshopped a family picture because we couldn't get everyone together.
It looked like the cats and rats got along very well.
(Actually it didn't look realistic at all. Not my best work.)

You could find a tutorial, or people here could help explain. A program like GIMP is free and runs well even on my potato.

It would probably make a pretty decent introduction to photo editing.

Thanks. We're putting a cat down soon and want to get a family portrait first.

Sewing the insides of my current bag, looking for spare parts for the same bag's strap, and looking inside of my old bags for that one national valid ID that I will need in order to apply for a passport...


Why a passport? Where the heck am I going?
Nowhere. I just need a valid ID to verify one of my accounts to enable money transfer.
