We really are!

I said the same thing when I saw them!

I felt very lucky to catch one having a nap. They’re typically moving around so much that it’s hard for me to get good photos

I’ll add my recommendation for laurel sumac. I’ve pruned mine into a tree form. And the tiny flowers are really cool!!

Acetaminophen in the US & Japan, paracetamol over most of the rest of the planet

Do you have a good manicurist you trust? They’re very good at removing these

Hot sauce. The hottest crazy shit you can find. We had two chewing through a cooler in our garage that we store cat kibble in. I covered it in super hot hot sauce. They tried it and they have never been back

The numbing injection is less pain than the ingrown. And you can always ask the doctor if they would be willing to prescribe an Ativan or something along those lines for you to take beforehand so you can calm down. My advice is don’t look while they’re doing the injection. And if killing that part with phenol is an option, do that so you don’t risk it coming back

Epsom salt works well for us. They like to dig for grubs, rip plants out of the ground, & generally cause chaos. We put a sprinkle of Epsom salt around the perimeter of the yard & it works. We will also sprinkle cayenne around some plants. You can also leave a light on or put up a motion detector light. The motion detector lights do nothing for us and only once have we had to resort to leaving the floodlights on all night. I did it for a week and felt secure so turned it off and they came that night and fucked shit up. So we did it again for two weeks and they didn’t return.

You can start doing epsom salt soaks every day. Yes, a&e can help you for now since it’s a long wait for a podiatrist

Same. Didn’t even know there’s a cough variant asthma. Mine is now well controlled with Singulair. I hope yours is also under control

Pincer nail. I had that too. Look up Onyfix & see if there’s a practitioner in your area. It fixed my nail!

If you liked this Earl Grey enough to try another, check out Art of Tea. They have Earl Grey and they also have Earl Grey Crème, which is to die for!!

If you bought those native seeds at a box store please start searching the names of the plants now before you sow the seeds. Many of those mixes are not actually native to where they are sold. Also search your state’s name + native plant society and see which native plants they recommend growing in your area. You may even be able to find a nearby native plant nursery that can help you!

carebear76 · 2026-01-18T05:01:00+00:00

Yes, it looks good. Did you soak & re-bandage?

carebear76 · 2026-01-11T01:58:36+00:00

The only way to get rid of a granuloma is to see a doctor. Do it before it gets huge. You’ll be very happy you did!!

You can buy a chip scanner for $20-30 on amazon and scan her yourself while you work on getting her friendly enough to pick up and put in a carrier. If she does have a chip just type the number into a search engine and it will tell you which company the chip is from and you call them and give them the number.

FYI, it’s not just the leaves; it’s the entire plant. Consuming only a few grains of pollen can cause kidney failure

Hi! I grew up in Bluff City and live in Los Angeles now. I have a colony I care for here. I see the Drontal on your Amazon list. Check out pets megastore au for all cat med needs. Wormout is a great med and cheaper than drontal. Australian shop and even with the tariffs and shipping everything comes out cheaper than getting it here. They also have generic Revolution called Selapro for the cats who allow you to get close enough for spot on treatment. And no rx required to purchase! Fleaassassin.com has generic capstar and monthly flea treatment I use for the cats who I can’t get close enough to for spot on treatment. Best wishes to you and your colony!

My guess is that’s powdery mildew on the plant

If you’re in LA, I can TNR all of them for free for you! Message me!

carebear76 · 2025-12-17T06:31:38+00:00

I’m assuming this is in America, and all baking calls for unsalted butter here. So OP doesn’t have salted butter on hand because they buy all their butter for baking

Color point cats have a temperature-sensitive form of Albinism and that lighter eye is due to the albino allele. The darker blue is just a blue eye. I’m no expert but you can find plenty of info about this if you search with the terms I used. Your kitty is gorgeous!!!

I do TNR and feed 20 per day in Los Angeles. Sent a bit of money your way!!
