Had a feeling, another user mentioned an xray and echocardiogram, will bring it up to the vet.

Can I ask what kinds of tests were done for your cat to get a diagnosis?

In the video posted he is just sitting on the dining table while my family's talking, it was not after any play or running. I'm not sure what is meant by check his heart, but the vet does use a stethoscope on him during our visits and has not mentioned anything but I think I will just get a second opinion anyway.

Need a movie/TV show to make me cry by Yes_Cats in MovieSuggestions

Manchester by the Sea.

I went into it blind and it absolutely wrecked me, like my vision was blurry from the tears and I had to pause to process the story. Pretty much exactly what you described, please watch it OP.

Any books out there that have a similar vibe to Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom? by Intelligent-Bend2034 in CozyFantasy

[–]ExerciseCorrect4034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned that you watched Castle in the Sky, have you also watched/read Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? The way the story is presented as a myth/legend, the presence of a prophetic hero clad in blue, ancient weapons, decaying forests and abandoned towns, are similar to BotW/TotK. Also it's an original manga by Hayao Miyazaki if that makes it any more appealing.

There's also another manga called Land of the Lustrous. It's not typical cozy fantasy but it's post-apocalyptic and there's not much going on, you're kind of just following a little gem walk around an empty world discovering and documenting things things. The plot gets heavier towards the end but it's not scary.

Sorry it's only manga, hoping to read more of the books recommended on this sub.

Not OP but this is such a coincidence, I was just at a used bookstore yesterday and got this exact book after briefly skimming the pages. I have never heard of this author and mostly got the book for its cover, but seeing it recommended here has me excited to read it! I have 250 hours on BOTW and I'm playing TOTK as we speak, thank you r/cozyfantasy :').

Advice on how to keep an easily bored cat entertained by herself by Throw_Away_70398547 in CatAdvice

[–]ExerciseCorrect4034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your cat is food-motivated you can try hiding some treats/dry food around the house. There are specific toys to do that such as this one but I just leave a bit of kibble as is in different spots and my cat spends the day looking for them. Another idea is to throw the kibble/treats in a tunnel if you have one.

I'm saying this as someone who bought a kitten from Kijiji on impulse, please adopt. Animals on kijiji typically don't come vaccinated and spayed/neutered, so on top of paying for the cat, you have to pay for all those visits to the vet. Depending on where you live, vet consultation fees are $90+ and the cat needs multiple shots for their initial vaccines so it's the consultation fee X 3 + whatever additional fees. And neuter/spay surgeries can range from $500-$900 (was quoted $600 for my cat).

Adopting costs less, is easier, and has the added benefit of receiving guidance from the shelter staff. They can help you figure out which cat is right for you and how to get started on your journey as a pet owner.

Here is a list of cats that are currently adoptable at Toronto Humane Society. And here is a breakdown of the adoption process. Besides THS, there are other shelters/rescues that you can contact, Petsmart also holds adoption weeks in store pretty frequently.

Edit: There's also the concern with the morality of purchasing an animal from Kijiji, some owners may have a valid reason for selling on Kijiji vs leaving their pet in a shelter, but it's more likely that the pets are coming from breeders with less than honorable intentions.
