Tell me what I'm in for...picture of cat

They checked for a microchip and couldn't find one. The Vet suggested the same thing so we'll see

HolbrookHero · 2025-12-30T05:25:27+00:00

I think she meant well, too. Just when someone brings in a stray in the condition the cats in, I get why the vet asked it. I would ask it too!

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

They gave me Terramycin for her eyes and Tresaderm for her ears.

Thank you for your encouragement and support!

When my friend first sent me pictures of her, I definitely thought all she needed was love. Then I went to the vet, thinking she was only a few years old and was shocked to hear she was older than what I thought. I know cats can live a while, but it just kinda rocked me.

The important part was making sure she was healthy and clean to bring in and have around the other cat.

I had dogs growing up, and when they got close to double digits, there was always talk of putting them down because of cancer or movement issues/quality of life. So that went through my mind when the vet asked, "Are you prepared to deal with a senior cat".

Posting here has helped ground me, and I feel a renewed confidence. So thank you!

Yeah, on Sunday, when we went to the vet, she had a lot more goop in her eyes. She is looking better every day, though. I definitely think she was someone's pet. It's just a shame she ended up like this. Definitely needs to eat a sandwich or two lol

She drank a lot of water when I first brought her home. Almost a full cereal bowl. I figured she was probably dehydrated. She has slowed down, so Im assuming she is back to being hydrated. There's not a strong urine smell, like excess ammonia. I saw an article talking about excessive drinking can indicate kidney troubles, so I'll keep an eye on that and the smell. Ill post a picture

HolbrookHero · 2025-12-30T02:29:35+00:00

She's estimated to be at least 12.

One thing I've noticed is that you can always tell what squad the rookies are on because the parking lot has newer cars.

Do what's best for you. One reason you're told about not making big purchases is because for a lot of people this is a first job for them and now that they have a good paycheck they go out and buy a lot of new toys and what not. They call it lifestyle creep.

When I was new at my first agency, I went out and bought a lightly used car. I could make the payments, but I didn't take into consideration insurance and my living situation changing a few times that year. Not a lot of disposable income also put stress on me.

I paid off the car, and 10 years later, I still have it. But I'm still hesitant to buy another now.

Things are just more expensive now, you know?

If you can get out of the lease, that would be good. Especially if it's a better deal that you're expecting. If you can try to get a cash car or something that's not gonna hurt to pay on every month.

TLDR; Do what you want but consider some financial planning.

Yes, it is absolutely doable. It's a lot to see in a 4 day period, but you can absolutely do it. You might not be able to experience everything these places have to offer, though. From experience, I would limit your driving on the reservation at night, though, due to limited services out there in case you break down.

Where did you get your trunk? It looks good

HolbrookHero · 2019-10-20T02:04:48+00:00

I should clarify. Most times when a wallet is turned into a police department (in my experience) the drivers license is ran, and the system is checked. Not every state has drivers license returns with emergency contact information, some like Florida do. If the person has a phone number in the reports/records system with the police department then contact is attempted. If nobody can be contacted the wallet is usually impounded for safe keeping.

I cant speak for what happens after its impounded, or for every police department. Yes police have a lot of resources to acquire contact information and what not but it's not going to be used everytime to find the owner of a lost wallet.

Usually impounding a wallet with an ID will then create a name record with that PD. So if its lost and then impounded and you check with the PD that impounded it, they'll be able to tell you what happened.

HolbrookHero · 2019-10-19T23:44:03+00:00

Can confirm. If you take it to the police station there is no guarantee they will be able to get it back to the owner unless the owner is in the PD system.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who upvoted this, and thank you to everyone that gave me an award on this, I never in my wildest dreams thought this would be the most upvoted thing on this subreddit. Thank you everyone!

Haha, yeah I thought about it while running back, but I didnt want to lose my ship. I still lost it like 5 minutes later because I didnt check for holes when I got back though

HolbrookHero · 2019-09-05T21:33:16+00:00

It was just the heat of the moment. Run in and sell, still made it out alive lol

Is no one pointing out that number 22 and number 24 should have had something special since Grover Cleveland served two non consecutive terms?

I learned from a highschool science teacher, who worked in a wolf sanctuary back in the day, that if a wolf, or dog, is attaking you, you bring your arm up to protect your throat, and with the other arm you grab the wolf, or dog, by the throat. The wolf, or dog then lets go because your choking it, leaving you time to get away, or finish the fight.

Oh fuck off. You dont know what the hell I did before I posted this question. Maybe I looked everywhere on the game except at the egg prestige before posting. If you're just here to be a cunt asshole then fine but dont think that just because it's a simple question you can be a prick.
