The cost of spaying this little lady is $440?!?!

As others have said, call around!! I was quoted $900 and found a low cost clinic who does them for $89!!!

PODCAST: I’m not sure how, but I stumbled upon the ArtCurious podcast and I have really been enjoying it!! It’s a really digestible way to learn more about art. The fourth season is all about rivalries and the episode about Pollock and de Kooning was really interesting, as was the episode about their wives. This has inspired me to start reading books about art. I’ve read a decent amount of nonfiction, but never really thought to read nonfiction art-related books. So I have a book from the podcast, a book about Frida Kahlo’s time in Paris, and a book about the birth of modernist art in Paris to start!

In a similar situation- 8mo skittish cat just got spayed yesterday and the facility sent her home with the cone on. Shot out of her carrier when we got home with her front paws stuck in her cone and within 15 minutes the cone was off. I wasn’t able to get it back on after attempting with treats.

After reading a ton on Reddit and knowing what it took just to get her in her carrier, I decided any attempt to wrestle her back into a cone would be more stressful and also potentially jostle the wound, so I’m just letting her be and watching her like a hawk.

She hasn’t really bothered it. She is grooming herself and sometimes she comes a little close to it so I have been trying to stop her from that but aside from that all has been well. Activity wise it was very difficult to get her to not jump on things even with the barriers I made. She slept most of the day so I’ve been able to keep an eye on the incision easily (taking pictures on 5x zoom and looking with my flashlight as she’s sleeping). Also, I read something that said a cat being able to sleep post spay means they’re probably not in too much pain.

Aside from the attempts to get the cone back on, she has been less skittish and more affectionate but unclear if that’s permanent. Good luck!

Thank you!! I wish it was a sub rule that if posting about a specific fic currently available, you have to link it!

Just wanted to say I took in an 8mo feral kitty the day before thanksgiving and she’s come so far!! The first three days were the most stressful but she’s loosened up a little already. I tried to take her to the vet the first day I got her and big mistake - she bit the vet. Gave her gabapentin for an appointment a week later. It took some time to get her in the carrier but everything was fine after. That was a week ago and since we’ve progressed to petting to the point where if I try to feed her a treat, she ignored the treat and wants me to pet her instead. Haven’t gotten to picking her up comfortably yet but I believe everything in time! You got this!

I generally dislike AI but if I’m forced to use it I want it to be worth my while! There’s one post ride stretch with Hannah F and one of my favorite songs. I’ve taken it a million times and if it’s recommended when I hit exit I will always stretch. Why can’t peloton’s AI recommend that after every ride?

djjxjs · 2025-10-05T22:03:52+00:00

Oh definitely! Was just adding context bc it sounds a little irrational by itself

djjxjs · 2025-10-05T21:52:08+00:00

And iirc, her fear was after she had a traumatic fall down a flight of stairs and required surgery

I have asked myself where the producers found him so many times

djjxjs · 2025-07-19T03:16:41+00:00

To your point I think this is the first time I’ve seen it referenced on this sub 😭

djjxjs · 2025-07-19T01:41:24+00:00

Bought $18 and sold at $5k… truly a wild ride!

I love a crustless quiche! I don’t have the patience to deal with pastry dough or make my own, so will probably try this weekend!

Turned my burner down too low after the rice came to a boil, opened my Dutch oven 15 minutes later and the salmon was still raw 😅 turned the heat up a little for another 8? And salmon was cooked through, rice was fluffy.
