My 16yo cat is definitely a prim and proper old lady. Oddly, I call the 4yo Maine Coon "little man" even though he's easily 4x the old lady's size

I'm probably forever going to call my dog "bestest girl", but she's starting to get a grey muzzle too

We can't be giving homeless people free drinking water when there's golf courses to maintain in the desert /s

It's ridiculous how society treats homeless people like pests

I was a very sad child and that book gave me lots of excuses to be crying all the time xD

Right? The text service I use doesn't allow video. Sometimes it won't allow large photos either lol

Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he's giving up America's?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?

She is unfortunately having other medical problems. The steroid either isn't working anymore or she forgets that she isn't in pain/expects certain touches to be painful, I'm not sure which.

This cat has my whole heart. Like if soul mates could be pets, she's mine.

Thank you for sharing, and understanding the struggle with giving our little loved ones the life and death they deserve. I'm sorry that you had to make that choice, but I'm glad that you had the strength to do so for her.

I think about my grandfather often since my little Ami has shown the same symptoms he had. I've always been so grateful that by the time the end came for him, it was quick, and I know that's what he would have wanted. Perhaps that's the view I need to keep for her

I had a cat with dementia when I was a kid, she didn't make it past 7 years old. Now I have a 16yo cat who is starting to show the same signs. Today she nearly ran out of the house when I got home, and didn't seem to recognize me. It's rough.

She's curled up next to me rn, but I'm still thinking those hard thoughts like when do I make the choice to put her to sleep? I'm not ready for that, maybe never will be, but she's always been a very frightened cat and she doesn't deserve to feel more frightened because of dementia.

Honestly, I may have gotten lucky because I didn't need to do much rust removal. Took them outside and hosed them down, then got to work removing the burnt in bits and evening out the seasoning. Took me about two afternoons per pan. One of the pans is definitely an antique, so I haven't used it because it might have lead in it

This is beautiful

My grocery store sells kratom and kava drinks next to the energy drinks. It's insane to me, there's no indication of the intoxicating effects or the risk of addiction on the cans

When I bought my house I discovered a treasure trove of old cast iron pans in the (very modern) oven. They all looked like this and smelled like rancid oil. It was not fun to deal with lol
