I had my first one earlier this year. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be l, but I was very very sore the next day. I think the day after for me personally was worse than the actual procedure.

It’s actually very good! There’s some weird propaganda they had to add in the first episode because Chinese censorship laws but the rest is fine

Oh! So hear me out. I know it’s not a movie. It’s a music video. But it’s 7 min long, has a storyline, and it’s filled with gloomy brooding with plot twists. It’s decayed opulence. youtu.be/4GuR_g75ufY?...

I was trying to think of something not western. Maybe Curse of the Golden Flower? It’s very opulent, very good over the top costuming, and since it’s set in the Forbidden City it has that decaying aristocracy vibe.

I’ll be fine, thank you!! I’m actually moving back with my parents. Not because of this (their health issues) but it definitely solidifies my decision. But wow…if the US continues like this, I’ll seriously consider moving to Taiwan.

I fine with it and support other countries being angry with the US. I live here and I’m angry with the people who either voted for this or didn’t vote

Aw come on, you know there’s more variety than that. You got Chris Helmsworth, Chris Evans, and plenty of other Chrises.

Huge blow considering my state is in the top 3 of shelter euthanasia rates. Recently another low cost clinic had to fire their vet. I don’t know the details except people said it was a long time coming. But a bunch of TNR folks lost their appointments because of it.

My area is having problems due to the shortage of qualified vets. At the end of 2023, the vet of our local low cost mobile spay/neuter retired and the organization spent 6mo trying to find a new vet. They weren’t able to find one and had to close after 23 years.

Cleo is my current foster kitty

The many faces of Cleo

The head of a grey dilute calico kitty with light green-gold eyes is the focus. She’s looking into the camera with a contented expression. She’s snuggled in and resting her head into the cat cave bed. You can see a hint of her relaxed whiskers on one side sweeping up. A dilute calico kitty with light green-gold eyes is standing facing the camera, her head tilted up and eyes squinting a little as she looks up and behind. Her nose is pink and her mouth is slightly open. She’s missing her top canines, causing her upper lip to curl in a bit. She has her bottom canines peeking out. Her mouth looks like a capital W. A dilute calico kitty is loafing, both front paws in view, with her tail curled on the carpet. Her face looks a bit miffed (though she’s not annoyed), her ears are facing a little to the side, and held a little flat. Her light green-gold eyes are squinty as she looks directly at the camera. She’s missing her upper canines, giving her mouth a capital W shape. A dilute calico kitty loafs, her ears are held upright, and her light green-gold eyes are wide as she looks up. She looks inquisitive. She’s missing her upper canines, and her mouth is shaped a little bit like a double wrench tool, or a horizontal line with two slightly curved vertical lines.

My former feral used to hold a paw up when I was about to feed her to slap me if I got too close for over a year. Now she tries to meld with my face and likes belly rubs.

The rescue I foster for recently upped their adoption fee to $150 for cats. Most vets here charge around $250-$300 for a spay. There’s some low cost clinics that will do for around $120. The rescue covers the rest of cost thru donations. Vet prices vary through the country so not surprised at $250+

I rather them cut a little too much than too little. I had a feral who’s ear was barely tipped and it was extremely hard to tell if it was or not. They did a curve and it made it so much harder to tell

My current foster, I fostered her as a kitten. She was adopted, but a few years later they passed away so she came back. She was adopted out again, but was returned again a few years later due to stress, due to new kids. She’s 7, very sweet & is missing her upper canines so she always has this face

Fostering is very rewarding! I took a year off because two of my elderly cats had a lot of health issues so I didn’t have time to foster kittens. They passed away in Aug and Sept and I’ve been easing back into fostering, but adult kitties. One came to rescue at 30lbs, and was adopted out at 19lbs

Just read and enjoyed your book! And I wanted to tell you I immediately recognized Loreena Mckennitt’s Bonny Swans.

Yup. It also helps with if your cat accidentally bites into the pill when hidden in a treat. They don’t immediately taste the yucky pill and avoid it in the future since it’s covered in the gel capsule.
