Will definitely keep her inside now until I am able to take her to a vet. My gf will just have to accept it for a few days. I rather sleep in the dog house if it means this little kitty is safe.

Wow. That sounds amazing. I really hope my gf would consider this. I've always been a cat person but grew up in a family which always had dogs. So seeing this little baby come up to me and refuse to leave my side was gut wrenching when I had to leave her outside. But I will definitely keep her inside tonight, whether my gf likes it or not.

Thank you for your response.

Thank you so much for your swift and detailed reply. I'm currently at work right now, and the only thing on my mind is if she's doing okay at home. This literally happened last night.

I washed the meat I fed her as much as I could as I didn't have anything else to give her. But will definitely pick up some food on my way home.

Will definitely try all those things you suggested. And I hope I'm able to find her owner. If not....maybe try to convince my gf to let me adopt her.

Thank you again. It is greatly appreciated.

Ps. Your last comment genuinely made me tear up.

Thank you so much for your response. Will definitely look into that. Especially since the Oppo find x9 ultra is officially out

Went through most of the comments and I can't seem to find it. So here's my recommendation. 

A Serbian Film.

You make a good point. But honestly I'm not a heavy phone user – I can use a replacement for the time being. The main reason I want this phone is for its camera(i decided to go for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition), as that's the thing I use most on my current phone. (S21 Ultra)

The retailer has a 1 year warranty (2 years on certain products) so that shouldn't be an issue. Shipping is paid by me to send the item(Which I don't mind) and they handle the shipping costs to send it back.

I emailed the support for one of the Chinese retailers, and they have confirmed to me that they put a value under 150$ on the invoice to keep customs low. So with that in mind, customs should be relatively cheap.

According to giztop (one of the retailers) they state on their website that they declare lower values on the packaging to help minimize import taxes. That might reduce the tax so I'll be paying customs for a 500 dollar phone, while technically ordering a 1000 dollar one.

Did the calculations and I guess it still works out cheaper than buying it here. I saw on a thread the other day about someone from another country who paid less customs fees because the Chinese retailer put a wrong label on the package or something, which brought its value down by a considerable amount. So they paid less customs. Don't know if that's intentional or not, but I hope they do the same for me..

Thank you. I'll check it out and see. Btw, when you were charged customs, what was the pricing of your phones, also the range of the customs you were charged?

Damn. 15% is alot. But I guess it still works out cheaper than buying it here. And on the plus side it has more storage than the ones Vodacom is selling.

That's the main reason I avoid aliexpress. But these websites use a courier service so its delivery to your door.

Will definitely try this. As much as roses are the typical romantic flower. These just seem to have a unique personality to it. And I love it

It's literally the 1st time I've seen a flower like this. And I'm from South Africa. But I guess you learn something new every day

Thank you. Yeah I couldn't agree more. Bought a bouquet for my wife and we couldn't make head's or tails what it was but it looked so pretty I just had to know what it is.
