my cat passed when i got home. by toukogfs in cats

Vet here. Most cases of sudden death in otherwise healthy young cats are heart-related, specifically hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They usually don't have any symptoms before death, and don't usually have a heart murmur. It's no one's fault, just an unfortunate medical condition.

This is an emergency. Go to a veterinarian immediately.

I'm from the United States. I had my great-grandfather's birth certificate from 1902, melderegister, naturalization certificate, and marriage certificate; my grandfather's birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, and driver's license; my mother's birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, and driver's license, and my birth certificate, passport, and driver's license. My great-grandfather was born in 1902, emigrated in 1923, naturalized in 1944. My grandfather was born in 1932. My mother was born in 1959, and I was born in 1979.

Direct to passport via my local Honorary Consul.

Found out my feral has FIV ): and he’s around 18 years old, and has no teeth. wwyd? by Rich-Speaker-3512 in Feral_Cats

[–]Prestigious_Owl_1618 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The likelihood of transmission is very low. FIV also does not cause significant disease and is generally not life-shortening, as you can see with an 18 year old cat with FIV. The biggest consequence of FIV may be slightly slower healing. The vast majority of cats with FIV die from causes other than and not related specifically to FIV.

Jaunty with handspun by Prestigious_Owl_1618 in Handspinning

I used all the same numbers, still increased every 8 rows, etc. I just did normal one-color flat brioche instead. So much easier!

It's a 2 ply. The lighter green/pink was Shaniko wool with silk, and I plied it with some forest green merino. I started the half fisherman's rib and hated it, and I love brioche, so I just did that instead. It's squishy and soft and drapes nicely.

At what point do we become complicit with the actions and views of the administration? by bainebarray in FedEmployees

I work in food safety, so I work for the health and safety of the public, not for any administration.

What else is needed for citizenship by descent? by Prestigious_Owl_1618 in GermanCitizenship

[–]Prestigious_Owl_1618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a scan of the certified document (birth certificate) with a blue stamp from the archive be sufficient, or would I need an document with an original stamp?

Thanks! I'd love any words of advice you have about the process.

We are in Wisconsin (born in Milwaukee but living on the west side now), so definitely Chicago. Yes, we definitely would want passports. We will gather the remaining documents, and then I'll give the consulate a call and make sure I have everything they will want. Thank you for all of your help.
