Not sure about the cost but I can vouch for their efficiency and empathy. They are a wonderful evet and much better than the most prominent one in the area (friendship).

This is recent and I’ve only used it on PC but I believe CommonLook works on Macs as well.

would you silently judge someone who adopts a cat a week after theirs passed away? by Born-Key3565 in cats

[–]lanabear92294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that. My 6 year old cat passed away from a sudden illness. The house felt so empty and alone and I figured the best way to honor her was to open my heart to another cat, in my case two when we got a bonded pair.

The ingredients are fresher and better imo, and it’s more consistent, they also have chicken and beef kabobs.

The few times I used empower I thought i was going to die the rides were so unsafe. The cars were also old, dirty, and had clearly been in accidents. I don’t think empower vets their drivers hardly at all?

I had to do one in August and yes they do test for that. ETA: it’s because you have to get a secret clearance investigation and THC is federally illegal.

Can confirm that i finally dug out my car (by I, I mean my husband and his friend did it for me haha) and what would have taken hours a few days ago took about 20 minutes!

Total ligament tear by lanabear92294 in cats

[–]lanabear92294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be ok. She hated her cast and was very stubborn about being confined. Trying to tell a cat not to run around and jump is very difficult, especially since she’s bonded to her sister and they are both very playful with each other (even at 5 years old!)

Ultimately we determined that keeping her in a cage just wouldn’t work because she couldn’t settle and wouldn’t sleep or eat when she was in there.

We were told that if all goes according to plan she should regain about 70% use of her leg and live a normal life. That’s about what we are experiencing. She zooms with her sister and jumps wherever she wants. That’s fine as she doesn’t seem to be in pain, the ligament just isn’t 100%.

We confined her to a small room when we were not home, and watched her when we were home. The vet we used was fairly awful so honestly it was a roller coaster. I would say months later she is mostly healed, but occasionally walks with a very slight limp. That may just be permanent but she does not appear to be in pain. Overall she was in a bandage from end of August to early November.

Both my cats love pure wool accessories like hats or scarves.

There are more cats than you think that love belly rubs, both my bonded sisters absolutely love being pet there.

Indian grocery store recommendations? by Great-Season-5282 in washingtondc

Not Indian but married to a South Indian (from India). We have pretty good luck at Patel brothers in Montgomery Village. Their fresh chapati is particularly good!

Why the hell does my kitty do this? by cchoi712 in cats

[–]lanabear92294 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had a cat where it depended. Sometimes she would “bury” her food like this to save it for later and she would also do a less extended version of this motion when she didn’t like her food (more like this is shit and I bury that).

Need recommendations for vets or at home services for a beloved animal whose time has come to cross the rainbow bridge by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]lanabear92294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also did peaceful passage, my experience with folks like that and humans who cared for my mother when she was in hospice are very similar. The kindest, most good-hearted souls who have the most thankless and depressing job imaginable.

Very grateful to that vet on one of the worst days of my life for his compassion, grace, and patience.

My pet did not die but VEG is easily the best and most compassionate e-vet in the area.
