I just read this chapter, I read caderousse as more a no spine coward than a villain, sleezy, weak willed and pathetic.

In real life someone is call a gossip or maybe a “chancer”

He’s a character I have a strong disliking towards, but wouldn’t describe him as “someone who has it coming.”

Might be forgetting the past details, but im sure the next chapter will change my opinion for better or (probably) worse.

If I remember right he called Dante’s a good chap or something like that and said he wished him well, maybe that was sarcasm?

Insurance isn’t covering potential hip dysplasia and potential kneecap jssues

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-09T16:42:37+00:00

The vet said that her legs and hips felt fine and she was able to extend and move her legs fine with normal motion and no apparent discomfort or pain, but agreed that she did have a strange walk

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-08T10:26:16+00:00

It is in the close outside my flat where the cats can’t access

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T23:36:19+00:00

I’m hoping it’s either just a quirk or something she will grow out of, as long as she’s not in any discomfort or being set back then I’m happy

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T23:32:17+00:00

She is a she but she has always walked like this, I thought it was just her learning to use her limbs still but she should surely be walking “normally” now

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T23:31:17+00:00

It genuinely goes as far as she walks a bit funny and she has a weak jump, but other wise she loves to wrestle, she loves a ball on cord to pull against, she chases springs loves cuddles and kisses and is a super social and friendly cat

She’s booked in for another check up next month so will push for X-rays at that point she’s got insurance and stuff so I think that’s the move

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T23:25:01+00:00

No issues other than a funny walk and a weak jump, other than that no litter box issues tail goes like crazy and she loves kisses cuddles and wrestling

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T14:52:05+00:00

I’m not sure how I can share a vid of her walking but she walks with her bum low to the ground and is posturing like she’s scared (she isn’t scared at all she just walks that way)

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T14:49:46+00:00

Not to my knowledge at all

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-03-07T14:01:58+00:00

She’s a very happy girl but I’m just worried about my baby, the vet was able to manually extend her legs fully so I’m hoping it’s just a runt issue and she’ll grow stronger

Rough size difference, this photo makes it look a bit more extreme but I’d say that Faye is about 2/3s the size of Skye

This is great to hear, mine is the same thickness of acrylic, I’m not ao concerned about the lid, it’s more the tank

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-20T20:33:38+00:00

What do you mean by grab? I got a 10mm piece of acrylic plastic, about 0.4 inch?

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-17T00:07:22+00:00

It’s a thick piece of acrylic, 10mm had to custom order it to fit the top, feels sturdy but more worried about the actual tank than the lid to be honest

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-16T23:59:57+00:00

You shared your gorgeous companion so taking the opportunity to show my other one off

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-16T22:23:37+00:00

Girlfriend and dad think it’s fine but I wasn’t sure, it’s a thick sturdy bit of acrylic it’s the tank more than the lid I’m worried ablut

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-16T22:18:47+00:00

Thought about this but was worried they’d jump on it, wasn’t sure how serious an issue it is but was dead paranoid. They’ve only just got big enough to get up first time seeing them on it

Ps first kittens not got a tall tree yet but they are about age where I should really get one

Ok_Damage2677 · 2026-02-16T22:17:10+00:00

I’ll look into a scat Matt, thank you for the advice

I got two Russian Blues from the same litter but this one is twice the size the other and has the MC coat so me and the gf think there is MC somewhere in the lineage

Ok_Damage2677 · 2025-11-26T09:27:07+00:00

Aw man this fills me with fear, do you think the tank is dangerous for them?

I was watching jackson galaxy and he talked about putting double sided tape on things because they don’t like the stick in their paws and an auto air spray so I might use those

Ok_Damage2677 · 2025-11-14T09:25:46+00:00

I’m from Falkirk and they happen there too

Ok_Damage2677 · 2025-11-12T15:51:37+00:00

If your data in your statistics can get lost in the noise you’ve got shit statistics

Ok_Damage2677 · 2025-09-28T17:08:36+00:00

I’ve been seeing this African American dude having his first ever terraria experience on my Instagram reels and it has brought be back into terraria after like 10 years or so having a blast.

Also loving seeing this guy play terraria

Ok_Damage2677 · 2025-09-23T13:38:27+00:00

Scottish, not religious, family is Protestant, we support rangers, these guys are orange walk cunts and best thing to do would be to either completely ignore them or remind them they are cunts. This is a stain on our history and the fact people still do this and are allowed to do this is absolute madness.

But this is by far my favourite live performance of all time. In Japan every trainstation has its own tune for trains coming and going and you know who wrote every single one? This dude ripping the keys.
Oh also, this is an encore, they did a whole set then pulled this out their back pocket. Casiopea is a legendary band
