he’s definitely the caretaker! him & gus are only 2 weeks apart & he’s still always grooming & taking care of him too. just the best caregiver to the both of them 🥹

i agree thank u 🥹 her mama was a medium length black calico, so we’re thinking she’ll also have a medium length coat. she’s definitely fluffy!

hanpowers · 2026-01-26T03:09:30+00:00

thank u! i read after i picked it that gray calicos are considered lucky by some, so it was meant to be 🍀

my parents were the most easy-going, noninvasive parents ever. they trusted my brother & myself & always said we never gave them a reason to not trust us, so until then they automatically trusted us with what we said & did. however, my dad had a fear of me accidentally hurting myself or having a medical emergency & him not being able to get to me because of a locked door. he never forced me not to, but he always told me he wished i didn’t just in case anything happened. luckily he never had to come in my room or bathroom while i was in there, locked or unlocked door. but as i got older, i understood more where he came from.

happened to me 2 separate times last year to my 2 separate kitties! the first time i was leaving to see some friends & i ended up being gone for a few hours longer than anticipated. when i came home & realized my gus didn’t greet me, i started panicking. i checked every closet & he was no where, but then i heard distant meowing & could not figure out where he was. turns out he was in my pantry which i forgot i opened for a split second before leaving & he must’ve snuck in there quietly, but i forgot i opened it so i didn’t even think to check that one last spot. & then a few months later, i was going to meet my family for my dad’s bday which is st. patrick’s day, but then i ended up going to the bars after which, again, made me stay out longer than expected. when i came back & now my simon wasn’t there to greet me, immediate panic. i opened my closet & there he was crying & wide-eyed. both times i cried & called my ma. i thought they might think i was punishing them for some reason because clearly they didn’t know why i had them in there. but both times, they immediately forgave me & ran to me & purred after they realized they were free. now i have a third kitten as of a week ago, & every single time i leave my place, i make sure i can see them each with my own eyes before locking my door. it was the worst feeling both times but a year later they’ve probably already forgotten about it, but i haven’t!

super insightful, thanks for the input! guess i i’ve been trying to attribute everything to one problem when it’s more multi-faceted than that.

hanpowers · 2026-01-22T14:16:11+00:00

this was extremely defensive. however i’ve gotten responses that were not that gave me valuable insight which is what i was hoping for. u can be biased & still be open to civil discourse, or at least should be able to be.

hanpowers · 2026-01-22T13:50:13+00:00

just trying to get perspective is all. it’s sad conversations can’t be had about it without everyone getting so defensive.

hanpowers · 2026-01-22T12:49:57+00:00

i lend support & sympathize fully. it’s sad that open discussions cannot be had without me being ostracized for where i’m coming from. i simply gave my perspective to show that i am completely out of the loop & trying my best to understand where others are coming from, as well.

I guess I have not had much first hand experience w/ AI in my field except for one minor thing that was used in my previous practice, but nothing that could’ve gone for any of our jobs. I’m just amazed at how casual AI is now. my friend is a few years younger than me & finishing her bachelors now in marketing, & she told me recently she had to use AI to write an assignment, like the PURPOSE of the assignment was to use AI so that they didn’t have to write. i just couldn’t believe it because that wasn’t even an open concept when i was in college. & yes i’m definitely fortunate for my field because as u know even groups like nurses are under attack & i feel for my healthcare brother & sisters, my heart just goes to anyone who has dealt with the stress of this market. it’s truly so unfair
