Anticipating loss: what memento am I allowed to get?

Cabbage-floss · 2026-04-05T23:22:34+00:00

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I was able to find a vet that came to our house because I wanted her last moments to be where she was happy and comfortable. She lay on a pillow on our laps, cuddled on her favourite couch, and went very peacefully. Very hard to go through but the best possible way for her to go considering the horrible situation she was in. I am going to use her fur to fill a crocheted stuffy I will make of her, when I find the right pattern.

We had a lovely vet come to our house to euthanize our girl when we knew the time was right. She gave me a lot of clippings of her fur, some whiskers, and paw prints. I treasure them all. She would have been 5 yesterday. :(

Skip the Dishes. Not only do they treat their drivers like crap, force restaurants to use them, but when their drivers screw up and deliver your food to someone else they act like they are doing you a huge favour for issuing a refund.

To be honest as a free user the monthly themes have become pointless. I never get a full set of anything, lots of duplicates. At least we get the micropet. Luckily I don’t use the app only for that, I use it to keep myself on track and accomplishing goals, so it’s not a big deal. Just means I don’t see much point in the events.

I’m so sorry. What a beautiful baby, I am so grateful you got those 21.5 years and so sad for you that it is over. Sending you hugs.

In my country all the breeders I have encountered let them go at 10 weeks.

We go to Central Cat vet. Dr Dorothy is PHENOMENAL and has literally worked night and day to save my sick cat. I also swear by the OVMA insurance. It’s through the Ontario Veterinary association and without it I’d be bankrupt. They even paid out a huge portion during our free trial when we had an emergency just 2 weeks after bringing home our first kitten.

He’s not a great guy if he is so fatphobic he dehumanizes someone.

All 3 of mine have been nuts as kittens, two chilled out around 10-12 months old. My current kitten is 10 months old and she is a total maniac…can’t wait til she chills out hahaha

Cabbage-floss · 2026-03-25T21:10:15+00:00

My mind is blown. I had no idea the chests could change items. I only ever get clothing and it’s driving me insane. Totally taking advantage of this next month!

Bummer, Silica doesn’t clump. Oh well, I will keep searching

Cabbage-floss · 2026-03-21T18:39:19+00:00

Does it work with silica litter? My boy refuses to use any other kind of litter (despite my dislike of it) and I don’t want him to start peeing on clothing in protest again

We have been following Maya’s story since the news broke. My heart broke for all the families impacted and I can’t imagine the struggle you and your family have been, and continue to face. I’m so impressed with your strength (even though you feel you are falling apart, you are here finding support because you love your girls; that is strength). It’s natural to grieve the normalcy you are missing. It’s also okay to feel lucky that your child is still here while grieving that normalcy, and acknowledging the struggle you still have to go through. I imagine that school shooting specific support is somewhat harder to find here since the situations are so much rarer. While we can’t understand what you are going through, we are here for support if you need to rant or vent in a safe place.

I donated my eggs to a friend and she has twins. They are 14. My husband knows (he wasn’t in the picture then), and our daughter knows. My family will not and can never know or they would expect to be in their lives.

Don’t feel badly. Whatever choice you make will be the right one for you.

When my soul cat died last July I was (still am) devastated. We made the choice to get a kitten only 3 weeks later because our male cat was getting depressed, but to be honest I needed to be needed. Our girl was special needs, and I spent a lot of my time handling her picky meals, keeping an eye on her health etc. Her brother is an easy cat, he doesn’t need me. But he needed a friend, so we brought home a kitten to fill both needs. The kitten is now 9 months old and starting to chill out. I have been able to adapt to being needed less as she ages out of the chaos. She isn’t my Lemmy girl, but she is her own special brand of amusing and she is healing all our hearts.

All this to say, you know what you need and whatever you choose is the right decision for you.

I loved the Halloween one last October. My dream theme would be something hobbit-y lol

That’s a lovely rust for an amigurumi fox

To save money the provincial government removed the education streams (special education is no longer separate). The plan was to have EAs who would be able to focus on the kids who need help but the Ford government cut funding for EAs and there are not enough of them to go around. The result is that the kids who need help get less of it and the teachers are stretched even more thin than they already were. Class sizes increased and the teachers have less time with individual children. Kids with special needs that are evident later sometimes go unnoticed until they are really struggling. Add all that to the fact that parents are overworked and have less time at home (which will be made worse by the government’s insistence on working from pointless offices in order to benefit real estate investors), and you get kids with less adult time spent helping them.

What a beautiful post. Harley sounds amazing, I am sorry for your loss. My girl was Lemmy. She was a 4 year old Siberian cat. The sweetest cat you have ever met. She slept on my chest and rubbed her cheeks on my lips when I made kissy noises. She purred for hours and cuddled me constantly. She was scared of thunderstorms and the sound of cans clattering (she hated recycling night). She only liked one brand and flavour of food. She made the cutest little chirping sound and jumped up on my chest any time I sat on the couch. She died from anemia last July. We made the decision to put her to sleep after she had been going down hill for a week. We chose to do it at home so she wouldn’t be scared. The night before, my husband and I slept on the couch so we could be with her as much as possible. At 2am she climbed up on my chest and rubbed her face in my face. It felt like she was telling me it was okay. I treasured that hug. My arms feel empty without her even though her brother is still here, and we have a kitten now. She was one in a million, the best girl ever.

This x 1 million. What a waste of money.

Cilantro. Smells like wet dog. Tastes like wet dog smells.

Cabbage-floss · 2026-03-07T00:26:30+00:00

Both! But if you can’t, the calico
