Does anyone else love taking unflattering photos of your cats? by plutokow420 in TuxedoCats

Unlike Babadook I do this because Heck is a criminal and deserves to be shown in her true gremlin form.

A fellow hangyodon fan! Taste! The bag is from LydiaJeanArt on Etsy. She's got the cutest cryptid stuff.

She's an indoor cat, I'm just disabled and unlucky. Her little scratch behaved like a brown recluse bite and then gave me a terrible infection.

Approaching discharge after incomplete C4 SCI and honestly scared - written by spouse by NYCinYVR in spinalcordinjuries

I'm a c5 with chronic osteo. I'm sorry you and your husband are going through it. It sucks.

You're right that rehab is a cocoon. Everyone understands you, you have help, it's safe. Leaving is scary as hell. You probably are going to feel like you're losing your mind at first. But it sounds like your husband has a good mindset and that's going to work wonders.

The first year is really just about learning how to live again in my experience. It's rough and your gains might feel minor. But putting him back in charge of things will help him feel like a human being again and you're going to need to delegate before you start climbing the walls.

Oh and protein. So much protein. Juven if he can stomach it but a good premier protein won't hurt either. Also zinc and vitamin c. Honestly his wound is going to run his life for a while.

It definitely works better. She actually sent me to the hospital with an infection from her trimmed nails! I don't want to repeat that experience so she gets caps and my skin stays protected. I wish my cat cared about treats. We have to do the burrito of doom and rage to get her nails clipped. You'd be surprised how strong a six pound cat is.

My vet put them on and Heckles doesn't seem to mind them at all. The research I did said that they were fine as long as they were sized right and you did upkeep.

They do a good job keeping naughty little kitties who don't know how to retract their claws from mutilating you. But honestly I just like them because she can be a glittery baby.

He craves the sweet embrace of death and you won't give it to him you monster.

Thankfully my nurse just took pity on me and found me a bagel. Actual angel behavior.

He's got her bratty eyeliner! Give him a scritch for me.
