This is/will be helpful. Also, “The kitchen gets cleaned twice a day minimum. No excuses. Once before and once after you cook. Every time. It takes dicipline but it beats crapping your guts out for several days after eating food that YOU contaminated in your own kitchen.”

Kenna has like 8 Lamb Chops in all sizes and decoration. They’re often seen in her playpen. Bubba has good taste in toys. 🙌

Look at our girl y’all. She’s finally getting over the upper respiratory infection she had. In the last month, she’s been to the vet way too many times. She’s had injections, antibiotics, fluids, tummy issues, skin irritation, + eye infections. Yet…she persists. Kenna the warrior. Feisty + sweet. ❤️

Happy rainy Sunday from Kenna the bipod cat. She’s resting after a case of zoomies. ☺️ We’re at the tail end 🤭 of URI’s, zombie fleas, + 🪱 As 🥶 weather approaches, we like to stock up on food for outdoor community cats we feed 2x day. Can you help? www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... #cats #catsofbluesky

2) Finally dx w/metabolic syndrome + told I had to live with it since thyroid tests were normal. Part of my lifelong autoimmune cluster. Had gastric sleeve in 2017 + it changed my life. Dropped 100lbs + felt better. Would’ve done ozempic if available back then. So glad you’re feeling better, too. ❤️

I’m so glad you found a solution. I despise any type of weight related comments as if someone’s worth is only measured by a scale. 🙄 BC of autoimmune fuckery (inc thyroid + a childhood deprived of nutritious food), I became overweight for the 1st time in my life in early 2000’s. No diet helped.

“Persistent virus replication causes progressive neuronal destruction. The virus targets not only gray matter neurons but also oligodendrocytes and, to a lesser extent, astrocytes.”
Damn. SSPE is a brutal bitch. Esp for kids of ignorant parents who don’t believe in (measles) vaccines. Jesus.

It’s Wednesday! Paw bump 🐾 We’re still four paws deep in upper respiratory infections but the Queen is feeling better so she picked a catffirmation card for you. Queen Trista to a T. 🤭 We have 29 other cards you can get for free when you sign up for our newsletter allthesecats.org/newsletter #cats

It’s 2025 + we’re still talking about conversion therapy as if it’s therapeutic + in the interest of the client. CT is not therapy but religious indoctrination cloaked in homophobia. IMO, if a therapist or coach ever offers/suggests CT, RUN! I’ve seen it cause harm + trauma in both kids/adults.

My sweet girl (Kenna) does not feel good. Darn upper respiratory is nasty.

I worked a side job today + now I’m waiting on my kid who’s bringing me a birthday cake. ☺️ #cats

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday (Friday). I appreciate it. 🫶🏻
