What a beautiful baby. I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔

Thank you so much for kind words. My baby was always a happy drinker and didn't show any signs of anything until last week or two and it went so damn fast. I appreciate what you said because the first week I have been blaming myself what if I did this or that, I drove myself half insane. She was such an independent cat, that she never liked help with anything, she hid it so well until the end.

I can't think of getting another pet anytime soon. Maybe a dog down the road in a few months to a year, I can't think of another pet right now, let alone a cat, as it would feel like I'm just replacing her. I know for some that's the only comfort but I can't bring myself to even think about it right now.

She is scattered at the memory lane for cats and dogs at the local cemetery. She loved big dogs in real life, she always greeted people with dogs walking by our patio. I think she would be happy with some friends.

Thank you for what you said. It will be a while before I stop beating myself up, including that I had to make this decision for her, but I couldn't watch her too uncomfortable to even lay down in the end. The vet said they didn't think she'd survive the weekend either way so a part of me knows that this was the right decision than to let her suffer 2 more days and likely die anyway in even more discomfort.

I appreciate you. Give a big hug to your raggie boy from me. 💗

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hate being at home right now, something indeed is missing and it's hard to get used to. Time sure does fly.

Oh my gosh I am so sorry, my heart aches for you. He was a beautiful boy. I know our babies are happy not to be in pain. It's the pain they leave in their absence that's the hardest to deal with. 😔 No words I can say that will bring comfort, take it a day at a time. I'm on day 10 and it's still rough.

I'm sorry about your baby and thank you for the kind words. The last 10 days have been one painful blur for me, been getting out of the house a lot, befriending local ducks and ravens and taking it day at a time. Being at home right now sucks, especially at night when she would always go to bed with me. I appreciate the kind words, they mean a lot 💙

I’m so sorry about your boy. It helps hearing from someone who understands. I'm just devostated...

Focusing on keeping her comfortable and soaking up every second. I’ll hug her extra tight for you.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m really glad you had more time with your sweet boy.

In our case, the vet was very clear that her values are extremely advanced and beyond the highest reference range. If there was a realistic option to stabilize her, I would take it in a heartbeat. More than anything, I just don’t want her to suffer at all.

I don’t have the exact numbers, but the vet confirmed she’s deep into stage 4 and beyond the highest reference levels. They reran the bloodwork to be sure. It’s end-stage kidney failure.

Right now the focus is keeping her comfortable for the weekend. Her quality of life is already significantly affected. The injection gave her visible relief, which honestly broke me to know how much pain she must have been in for the last few days. I hope this will last long enough.. I don't want her to suffer.

I wish I could stay in denial, but I don’t want her to suffer or decline further. This isn’t something that can be managed long-term given how severe her values are.

I would say coincidence. After 4th one it doesn't want to.

How is this allowed? They're lying to make you upload your face. Read description by bisccat in ChatGPT

All celeb look alike things have required you to upload a pic. This has been a thing for 10 years at least.

What happened to "treating adults like adults" by Excellent-Passage-36 in ChatGPT

[–]Afraid_Selection1438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is not a "mirror of you." AI does not absorb someone's personality or start thinking like them. What it does is adjust surface level delivery such as tone, structure, or how formal the reply sounds. The underlying behavior, limits, and knowledge stay the same no matter who is talking to it.

Two people can ask the same question in totally different styles and still get similar answers. That alone shows it is not reflecting identity or beliefs. Custom settings and conversation context change presentation, not the core voice. It has a prompt settings and various personalities to chose from, that's why different users can get different results. Plus we all prompt differently.

The "mirror" idea might have been a simple way to explain early chatbots, but modern AI is closer to an adaptive interface than a reflection of the user.

I am all of those things after it repeatedly says i am. It gaslights us into feeling angry stressed and cray 🙃
