He looked like a very good listener! I’m glad you ran into him.

Aaaand… I’m off to deep dive. Thanks for the link!

Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.

Don’t get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don’t realize this.

Eventually, when the cats get older and no longer wash properly, we too will get a Hell Bag. I’m almost looking forward to it…

No idea about your cars, but my cats? Because they can eat them when I don’t feel them fast enough in the morning and then I have to the vet because they can’t yak them up or pass them.

I love the little gremlins, but they are both bonded rescue cats that have pica or something.

NEDA tried that with their eating disorder hotline: it didn’t end well…

Because it could literally be life or death, I wouldn’t put it past them to take a page from the ED warmline and try using bots. It sure worked for NEDA… /s
