Luna’s pose would always get me taking photos. That said, I feel for Luna being so clearly overweight. 😥

The young capy reacted. He relaxed and enjoyed the rubbly bubblies.

“Lower. Yeah, right there…”

The pedant in me has to point our that if it’s the “best song we’ve ever heard…” then we already heard it, and it isn’t still “out there” as in unheard and waiting to be listened to.

Can confirm. Seems the common paywall tricks (12ft.io, etc) seem to have only mixed success

Uninformed myself, but if a supervisor was present with the mother and they were driving hours to pick the kids up for a party, my guess is the kids were somehow in the custody of the grandparents at the time.

The children’s mother, Veronica Butler, however, wanted more access to her kids than the court-ordered supervised Saturday visits she was allowed.

Some AV Processors include a night mode or loudness processing that attempts to normalize the levels. In practice, the levels will lower some, but perhaps not enough to alleviate the problem.

You could try reporting the provider, but it’s likely their legal team would argue the CALM act doesn’t apply to them. Come to think of it, the FCC may not have ever formalized the rules still…

Junk article. Sentences trail off and never finishes the actual story.

Nailed it!

The both?

s38b35M5, 19 days ago

And how can a one argue with these that?

Mask and blaze! When I shared your comment, he squeaked in reply.

Thank you!

This is his “why are you still awake at 11pm” face

Thank you! We love our Charlie – though I’m the only human in the house that calls him by that name. My GF likes silly names, and calls him, “big boy,” pronounced, “beeg bwai,” on account of him being the biggest cat she’s ever had.

Fun fact: he may have condor or eagle in his bloodline, because his claws are the biggest, longest, thickest claws I’ve ever seen on a house cat.

Give your Charlie pets for us!

Thanks! We call it polite pose. He does it a lot, and it usually looks far more… intentional

We love this photo.

Scritches are his favorite. (Big surprise, that…) He enjoyed.

Thank you! I wanted to provide a fun bio with his background because I always like learning about the kittays on here. I also thought some might wonder about his ear.

Try training Kika to use the toilet? My Grandmother’s cat was the same way back in the 80’s, and my uncle (yup, he still lived at home in his forties) trained the cat to use their downstairs toilet. Problem solved.

Edit: we kids always tried to catch her doing it but never did, but wed see the evidence after the fact.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I haven’t seen your previous posts, but I can relate to some of what you are going through.

Our ten year old cat (former feral rescued at age 3+/-) has chronic inflamed gums and buildup on the gumline. In the US, we were quoted $700-$1600 (they said it would depend on a few variables) for twice-yearly cleaning, and said extraction would be the logical next step. We were shocked at that cost, and considered putting our cat down.

About six months later, we moved to Central America, and on our first vet visit, told them the situation. The vet examined his teeth, quoted us $35 for a simple cleaning and $15 for an enzyme we put in his water. No need for extraction. The vet was visibly angry at the proposal to remove his teeth, and especially the cost.

The day of the procedure (1 December), the vet allowed me to assist, and it took only about ten minutes. The whole room stank of bad kittay breath. Recovery from the sedative was hard to watch for the rest of the day, but the next few days he seemed much happier, even playing with his sister instead of being his usual grouch self.

A month ago he went in to treat a rash from an allergy, and he currently has zero problems on his teeth or gums. The vet thinks all he needs is for us to keep using the enzyme (which we’re lucky that he drinks water many times a day) and stay on top of it.

Now we no longer mind when Charlie licks us, and he doesn’t stink. He’s also more playful. We think his mouth always hurt, and made him moody. He loves to chew on natural fiber rope toys (for dogs) with his back teeth, which possibly help keep them clean. He bites so hard his teeth squeak and creak through the rope.

All that is to say that care in the US is crazy expensive, and pretty dismissive of alternative treatment options. It left us feeling like our options were to spend an ungodly amount of money or put our cat down. Surprisingly, even putting the cat down in the states would cost more than the cleaning procedure here in Belize.

I don’t have any left and the vet is getting more from Mexico, but if I recall correctly, the vet said it has natural enzymes from fruits like papaya? I’m waiting for more, because I just can’t get Charlie to accept me brushing his teeth. Also, It’s possible the enzyme does nothing, and his current diet and the rope are what’s helping, but its so cheap, I don’t mind.

Worst timeline? Could be…

This is classic efficient market hypothesis brain worms, the kind of cognitive dead-end that you arrive at when you conceive of people in purely economic terms, without considering the power relationships between them. It’s a dead end you navigate to if you only think about things as they are today – vast numbers of indebted people who command fewer assets and lower wages than at any time since WWII – and treat this as a “natural” state: “how can these poors expect to be offered more debt unless they agree to have their all-important pocket computers booby-trapped?”
