I'll just linger another five minutes with this bowl of coffee, I think ..

Has anyone had experience of a cat with hay fever?
For a week now, Copper has been intermittently sneezing, with red eyes, runny but dry nose, wheezing and lethargic. He's still eating heartily, doesn't have a temperature, and everything else is normal.
He improves overnight when I keep him in, which makes me think it's an external stimulus.
He loves being outdoors so I don't want to deprive him.

Edit: Muting as thread has been hijacked. Thanks to all who offered genuine advice.

@Wen @Henrysbridge @TomSwirly @junesim63
Your stats look similar to our experience. However all our cats are belled in the hope of protecting the water voles and bats, and touch wood, that’s worked so far.
Also, none of ours bother squirrels, possibly because they think they’re French loir.

@Wen @Henrysbridge @junesim63
Don’t worry, I wasn’t intending to be prescriptive, lots of cats do indeed not like collars.

Anyway, I fear we’ve somewhat diverted June’s original thread here.

Incredible auroras all night, doesn't seem like we're in Kessler Syndrome yet (yay) but apparently GPS and Starlink internet aren't working for people.

A goat got into chicken food and I had to force feed him baking soda to try to save his life (we'll see how that goes ☹️ ).

I emailed the CNN reporter who interviewed me about satellite pollution a couple years ago to see if she's interested in the space junk story.

And it's Vaisakhi/Khalsa Day, so I'm going to get amazing free food!

@sundogplanets Hope the goat’s ok.
Slightly confused, is Vaisakhi on a different day in Canada?

Tech bros love to boast about moving fast and breaking things, so it comes as some relief to find an instance where they've moved at a more stately 17 knots and yet still utterly fucked it.

In this case the "it" being carpool vehicles. Programmed to treat movement without the engine being switched on as either theft or witchcraft, they instantly bricked themselves in response.

What happened when these vehicles travelled by ferry was perhaps predictable...

"Keir Starmer will promise to rip up the government’s Rwanda scheme and divert £75m to fund hundreds of new specialist officers to tackle people-smuggling with new counter-terror powers"

Oh FFS. Divert £75m into safe routes, and THAT will stop the people smugglers, you sad power fetishist.
Whatever you think of them, people smugglers are not terrorists. They are organised criminals who will move on to the next opportunity when this income dries up.

@fkamiah17 Don’t apologise, I have the same reaction (so, punching yourself in the face wasn’t such a good idea, was it). But we can’t change the past, etc etc.

@fkamiah17 I did have my sarcastic hat on. I suppose that shows what a rank opportunist Elphicke is.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Elphicke’s constituency is being merged, so maybe she won’t be standing as the Labour candidate in Dover anyway? Which makes me wonder why she’s doing this.
