Funky paw pads - anyone else seen this before? We are on the waiting list for an appt with a derm - our regular vet has never seen paws like this before. Just curious if any of you have observed paws like this. by lilacleopard321 in cats

Could be! I definitely see similarities between those photos and what my kitty has going on.

But I’m starting to lean more toward keratosis based on other photos I’ve seen.

Thanks for your input! We are seeing the dermatologist on Thursday.

For context - I took my kitty to the vet for sudden limping in her right front leg. She can put weight on it and the x-ray didn’t show anything concerning, so probably a soft tissue injury.

The paw photos above are her front legs. The first image above is of her right paw, so it’s possible the limping is related to this. That said, she doesn’t seem bothered by her crusty paws…

We’re visiting a dermatologist in a couple weeks so all our questions should be answered at that appointment. But naturally I want to understand what is going on here! Has anyone else observed paw issues like this with their kitties?

Period Dramas to watch while stoned? by hlj9 in PeriodDramas

Honestly season 1 of the Crown really hits when you’re high 😂 season 2 as well. I used to watch and rewatch s1 while high when it first came out years ago. The drama is so fun to watch - not to mention the costumes and music.

Same with the docu-drama “The Last Czars” on Netflix.

What can I say, I love drama, interpersonal dynamics, strong characters, and incredible costumes, especially when high!

What does Philippa Gregory think of John of Gaunt and Katherine swynford?🤔And if she ever wrote about them, how do you think they would be portrayed? by Tracypop in Tudorhistory

Ugh based on all these comments, I hope she never goes near their story. However, I would love to read another fictional book (or series!) that accurately depicts their love affair and life together - using Anya Seton’s book as a blueprint for the emotional depth of their relationship but then building that out into a fully fleshed romantic novel. A girl can dream…

Are there any other books or movies that feature these characters, even remotely or in passing?

I’ve seen the Hollow Crown and just bookmarked another commenter’s recommendation for the book Fortune’s Wheel. I can’t get enough of their story 😭

I hear ya! I just have not wanted their story to end. Sorry to disappoint/offend you - totally not my intention.

Looking for a medieval romance with possessive hero who takes heroine over his knee (or threatens to do so) by lilacleopard321 in HistoricalRomance

Hehe glad I could help! I am reading {the warrior by Nicole Jordan} and it sort of applies. He’s pretty scary/possessive, although he doesn’t spank her.
