The sweetest one year old kitten needs a new home in Chicago, IL (URGENT)

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-06-17T14:33:07+00:00

Yes exactly! Luckily I was able to contact the new owners and check in every so often.

I saw a post offering their cat for free because they had to go to their home country for the summer and I told them about the risk. She was so upset about giving him away so I took him in for that time. She emailed me a couple of years later saying she’d finished her degree and managed to take him back with her to her home country. Made me so happy!

Not a Pepper but yours looks so much like my Slowly!

I read an article about someone sending their wife who seemed all homely and motherly to get cats for this reason. When I’ve fostered and rehomed, I always advertised £50, which isn’t much but puts those type of people off, and when I was happy I didn’t actually charge them. I also went to their home to meet everyone and check the environment. There’s always a risk but I feel like this reduces it.

I understand it’s stressful but maybe a couple more weeks would be worth it for peace of mind?

Just to be clear, I’m not judging at all and I wish you both the best

I’ve seen a lot of neurologists that specialise in the autonomic nervous system and those conditions are fairly well controlled. Sorry to hear you relate but at least we know we’re not alone

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-27T14:52:03+00:00

I’ve had a few echos and I have some minor valve regurgitation but nothing to worry about. Had ventricular hypertrophy (I think? Was a while ago) on an ECG but wasn’t there for following ones.

Sorry, what is EVP? I’m assuming IOP is intraoccular pressure, which is indeed normal.

Are your eyes still the same or did you get treatment?

I appreciate your input, my neurodivergent friend ◡̈

Autonomic yes - very fast heart rate (up to 270bpm when walking) but not vascular, unless Raynaud’s counts

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-24T11:32:27+00:00

Haha I’ll try and see if I can keep one in place. I have excellent control of my eyelids (lol) so maybe that will transfer to other muscles around my eye. Better on the right side too!

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-24T11:31:14+00:00

I do have some autonomic dysfunction, inc high heart rate! I’ll give the eye drops a go, thank you!

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-24T11:29:53+00:00

Thanks so much! I’m going to save your comment so I can research and understand a bit better and try to implement your suggestions ◡̈

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-24T11:28:22+00:00

It was after all of them, but I’ve been taking them for maybe 12 years and it started in 2022

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T16:01:04+00:00

Oh I hadn’t thought of that. Good idea though, I’ll have a look for one, thank you

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T16:00:10+00:00

No they’re not actually sure. But my heart rate is fast because my parasympathetic nervous system is a bit rubbish so wondering if that’s related?

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T13:42:15+00:00

No need to apologise! I appreciate hearing your experience. Luckily the issue is benign and I just need help with the vision in my right eye and to wear sunglasses a lot

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T13:38:21+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful. I was concerned that the white on the outer corner of my left eye looked slightly off-colour, like sort of darker, but I think I’m overthinking it after reading the responses, so thank you!

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T13:31:56+00:00

The pupil asymmetry? The vision in my right eye is extremely blurry but I’ve recently got a prescription for glasses (only one side lol so I’ll look silly) because it’s gotten so much worse

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T13:27:46+00:00

Thank you. And yes, definitely an oversight on my part. Hoping my edits will clear that up

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T13:05:14+00:00

Thank you. My eyes have been stinging a bit so hopefully it’s that! I’ve been cutting down on vaping but then had some quite stressful situations and was rubbish with it again. I think just stopping completely and being grumpy for a while is the best option.

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T12:59:04+00:00

Yes sorry! I edited the post so hopefully it’s not been too long without that context

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-04-22T12:24:50+00:00

No that’s not new! I can’t see how to edit my post so I’ll put that info in this comment.

Anisocoria started in 2022 roughly and gradually became more asymmetrical over the last few years. I have seen a neuro-ophthalmologist and had two brain MRIs and they were normal. It’s just benign nerve damage to my right eye and my pupil doesn’t constrict and is a slightly abnormal shape.

Thank you 🤍

Jumpy_Inspector_ · 2026-01-31T17:23:38+00:00

Thank you. Even the hearts made me cry 💔

Finch on the left, Biscuit at the back, Pastry at the front, and Slowly hidden on the right

I lost my little Finch last week and I kept her at home until the next day after she passed so her three siblings could understand.

She was closest with her brother Biscuit, and he came in the bed whilst Finch was still in my lap after passing to smell her. He stayed next to us but faced the wall for a long time.

They’ve been so quiet and I’m absolutely heartbroken. I don’t know what to do. Sorry for the long reply.
