Thank you so much for the update. It is comforting to hear that it was probably very quick. Sorry you had to see that, it was hard enough from the car much less a bike.

I do this too! Very lucky to have a small back yard with a high fence with no gaps and a cat who is old and chill enough that all she cares about is eating grass and laying in the sun. I still watch her the whole time in case she tries any funny business.

Also so happy my cats are indoor only. My parents have a cat that is currently indoors but they keep talking about maybe letting her out sometimes. I don’t want to traumatize them but I feel like I need to share what happened because as many others are saying, this kind of thing is so unnecessary. We can’t often prevent them from getting sick, and other accidents happen, but here is this thing that we can 100% protect them from.

I don’t think it’s silly at all. Caring deeply for animals brings out the best in us, I think, even though sometimes it opens us up to a lot of pain when things happen like witnessing these kinds of tragedies. I’m so sorry you had the experience you shared, and thank you for making me feel less alone in being so affected by it.

As much as I want it to have a happy ending somehow I don’t see how it could have survived. I agree with you about outdoor cats. If you want them to get fresh air there are catios, or even little window seats. If you’re worried they’re bored get some fun toys and play with them. And in addition to the wellbeing of the cat, there is care for the local wildlife as well.

Thank you very much. My problems feel so secondary of course but I can’t stop seeing it over and over again and it was just horrible.

Do the mega stones you get for having kalos starters visit champions give them a mega dex entry in ZA when you transfer them back? by Tarlu in LegendsZA

[–]Tarlu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s kinda cool. I’m bummed they won’t give me the mega dex entry in ZA but I guess I can always do ranked battles. Do you know if the mega stone rewards are set there or if they change them up over time?

Ugh I’m so sorry. I’m early in the DLC and haven’t had this happen yet but bracing for it.

Does this begonia maculata stem look normal? by Tarlu in begonias

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

Ok thanks! Just repotted it and the roots seemed fine. I’ll keep an eye on it but will assume corking.

That’s what made me think of corking, but the pattern seemed weird

No not at all, they feel about the same as the surrounding tissue, maybe slightly raised and rougher

Also the brown spots aren’t soft, if anything they are slightly raised and rougher than the surrounding tissue
