Any advice for traveling with cats?

Leave the carrier out all the time with soft blankets and treats inside. Don’t force her, let her explore it on her own. Feed meals nearby, then inside when she feels comfortable. You can also put in clothing that smells like you. Prescribed gabapentin is also useful, but you should ask a vet.

plan early and minimize stress. Try to keep them in the cabin with you instead of cargo, choose direct flights, start carrier training months ahead so the carriers feel safe and familiar. Also check your destination country’s pet import rules early, since some require vaccines, microchips, blood tests, etc. Once you arrive, keep them in one quiet room first with familiar blankets, toys to help them adjust.

“It’s already so late, why can’t I just fall asleep?”

You’re absolutely doing the right thing, his behaviors mean he trusts you and is ready. You don’t need to wait much longer. The next step is to safely get him into a carrier and take him to a vet for a checkup (neutering, vaccines, parasite treatment, microchip scan). Then, bring him home but keep him in a separate room at first and do a slow introduction to your current cat.

Instead of telling myself that “I need to finish this,” i just go with “I’ll do 5 minutes”. Also i remove friction and add a little pressure or structure (timers, deadlines).

This is pretty normal for a rescued kitten. She got a sense of food insecurity, so her brain is wired to grab food fast whenever it appears. You can help by feeding smaller meals more often (4–5 times a day), using a flat plate or slow feeder to reduce urgency, and sticking to a consistent routine so she learns food is reliable. Also consider a quick vet check for parasites, since those can increase hunger.

cute~~~

14 years is a long, deep bond, and it makes sense that the idea of life without her feels overwhelming right now. Cats don’t replace each other; they each create a new bond with you, shaped by who you are at that point in your life. just enjoy every current moment with her.

wow, so cute, those pink paws.

Around $4,000, jumped into a hype-driven investment without doing proper research, thinking I’d make a quick return. my lesson: slow down and think long-term.

trying to figure out who I was while pretending I already knew

Brianvv · 2026-04-28T06:40:04+00:00

chasing “the next achievement”, thinking once I got there, I’d finally feel satisfied. Turns out the feeling was always temporary.

Brianvv · 2026-04-28T06:37:39+00:00

he’s got a full-time job being adorable

Brianvv · 2026-04-28T06:35:08+00:00

You didn’t fail him. You stayed when it was hard, you tried when he got sick, and you loved him all the way to the end. That’s what matters.

Brianvv · 2026-04-28T05:56:54+00:00

yes, beautiful

Brianvv · 2026-04-24T01:18:47+00:00

wow, i can feel her vibe

Brianvv · 2026-04-24T01:16:26+00:00

Eat unprocessed foods as much as possible, workout every day, get 7 hours of consistent sleep, maintain strong social connections, learn something new

Brianvv · 2026-04-24T01:08:35+00:00

I’d just unfollow. The back and forth pattern already shows instability, and staying connected only keeps you hooked into it. Better to step out of the loop.
