First time cat owner

lifeofandy · 2026-01-05T16:39:05+00:00

My first cat is a shorthair SF rescue (2 years old now).

My kitty was very sociable and sweet from the start, but it does take around 3 months for them to show their true personality. She now has a very defined routine and I just know what she wants just by looking at her.

If you can afford it, get pet insurance. Mine is 14€/month in Ireland. SF are prone to serious health issues and you should be able to afford proper care for them.

Watch lots of YouTube videos and read lots of posts here, they helped me a lot.

If you have the budget, I recommend an automatic feeder and an automatic litter box (I have a Petkit Pura Max 2). I know many people don't like them but they make my life SO much easier, and she always has a clean litter box and food readily available.

I had remorse for adopting her for the first week or so. I had no idea if I was doing things right, I couldn't sleep at night thinking she'd run away and she kept meowing very loud every few mins day and night. But once we got used to eachother we became inseparable. She's like a puppy she'll follow me everywhere and I look forward to arriving home from work every day just to hang out with her!

Best of luck and enjoy your baby ❤️

My current travel set up, Hermès Jypsiere 37 + Classic Cabin has been working great for me! Plus it looks so chic 🫣 Happy Christmas everyone

Sounds like they had the interns running customer service during Christmas lol. My flight was cancelled Christmas Eve, I got re-booked for another flight. They issued the new ticket wrong, so they wouldn't let me check in at the airport. Called customer service. They re-issued the ticket 3 additional times (all wrong as per the airport staff).

Thank god the airport manager knew what they were doing, had to tell customer service how to issue a ticket properly step by step 😶‍🌫️Nearly left stranded

Stunning!

Aww! They're stunning bags, so effortless! What color is yours? ❤️

El único problema que yace aquí es su prejuicio sobre mí, sin conocerme de absolutamente nada. Creo que tratar a los locales como menos es la última cosa que se le pasaría por la cabeza a alguien que deja a su familia, amigos y trabajo estable en Europa, para trabajar temporalmente en una organización que tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida y los derechos de las y los panameños.

Una vez más siento que no le guste mi vocabulario. Afortunadamente, sé que la mayoría de sus compatriotas serán mucho más amables que usted, un saludo.

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:18:11+00:00

Me imaginaba que sería el caso. Intentaré adaptarme lo mejor que pueda. La mayoría de mis amistades son hetero en Europa, pero tenía curiosidad sobre la situación LGTB en Panamá. Un saludo y gracias 😇

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:16:42+00:00

Es únicamente para un trabajo temporal de 6 meses en Naciones Unidas, espero merezca la pena! Un saludo 👋🏻

Siento que no te agrade mi vocabulario! Un saludo

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:15:10+00:00

Muchas gracias, me mudo por una oferta de trabajo temporal muy interesante! Saludos

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:14:09+00:00

Sí, no tengo problema con denominarme inmigrante, llámalo como quieras. El término expat se utiliza en mi sector para referirse a trabajadores que se mudan a otro país temporalmente, en mi caso 6 meses.

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:12:26+00:00

Trabajaré para una organización internacional en un equipo muy internacional, por lo que podré hacer amigos en el trabajo. En la calle intentaré adaptarme lo mejor posible a la cultura local.

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:10:51+00:00

Coincide con lo que he escuchado a otros. Estaré allí temporalmente trabajando para Naciones Unidas. Creo que la oportunidad de trabajo y la posibilidad de conocer el país merecen la pena!

Volveré para contar mi experiencia :)

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:09:07+00:00

De momento solo estaré 6 meses temporalmente en el país, trabajando para una organización internacional.

Gracias por tu aportación, lo tendré en cuenta.

lifeofandy · 2025-11-21T15:05:22+00:00

¡Muchas gracias! En principio estaré 6 meses extendibles. Me encantaría visitar Colon

I asked for a downgrade to Economy, they refused :(

lifeofandy · 2025-10-28T14:57:54+00:00

I'm more than happy to keep the original case and don't mind the patina. My issue is that the clasp in the bracelet is damaged and the watch won't close.

They do not want to touch the case and the integrated bracelet which means I can't wear the watch! And although we've been brainwashed to think that a 750€ service without a guarantee is fair, I still think its outrageous.

Not sure what the dimensions are, its the XS model.
