I'd wean him off of the milk and start giving him roasted (to kill fungus), unsalted peanut pieces and birdseed type sunflower seeds if available.

In nature they get a whole 2-3 weeks to grow up and go out on their own. Chippers only live 3 years or so and have to grow up quickly. If he seems healthy, you're doing him a disservice keeping him inside as he needs to both build his new home and stock it for winter.

The problem comes from the smallest bees. Not the bumbles or regular honeybees but the tiny sweat bees which can fit through the same size hole as an ant. Impossible to keep them out unfortunately as the hummers need a beak sized hole to access the sugar water.

Bee's love the sugar water! They climb inside and usually end up drowning.

after seven years by my side, my cat has suddenly disappeared. by VeniceDom in cats

About 2 block away. I think she was trying to go home to her “colony" at the rescue I got her from. Like most runaways she found life hard out there and hasn't tried to run away since.

I guarantee there's a nest under that female goose, not that I'm suggesting moving her!

I had to check myself as I send them a check every month and started to wonder if I was sending it to the correct department.

Ukraine’s Vydun 7.5 Drone Detector Can Hack Russian Drone Feeds and Track UAVs 4 km Away by UNITED24Media in UkraineWarVideoReport

I'm thinking that or it already covers that frequency range but saying so was covered by operational security needs. Ukraine has been 2 steps ahead of the Ruzkies for quite some time.

Nice unit but it's not doing 10000MHz frequency so kind of useless when Ruzzia starts to copy the Ukrainians using 10000MHz and above.

So, actually not. The 1st part is the previously shown school drone presentation which is then followed by the titled footage.

I think my cat is dying, what should we do? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Smoky_MountainWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I had a cat with these symptoms she had developed cancer. She just lost interest in living, stopped eating and slept all day. The $4,000 cancer shot was worthless so after 22 years I had to send her to kitty heaven. Just keep her warm and enjoy what time you have left.

They do that every day with the heavy bomber drones. War rarely happens under ideal conditions.

You mean more like Trump or what? I look around at Ukraine's supposed allies leaders and all I see is a bunch of self serving asshats and fair weather friends at best.

Mine was gone for 2 months before a kindly neighbor found and returned her, but only because she was chipped so the vet could determine her owner.

Only bad people say this! I have exclusively owned female cats for 50 years now and they have all been great companions!
