And likely a treasure trove of memories that both celebrate their cat and symbolize their relationship once they deal with the worst of their grief and can enjoy the positive feelings again.

That’s fair, but we’re actively living the consequences of not voting for harm reduction when we had the chance in 2024. I’m so fucking sick of this. We can’t afford to ignore history or reality anymore.

It doesn’t come off as annoying, but it certainly does detract from any credibility you are trying to have.

If what you are saying is correct, losing an imaginary, anonymous popularity contest doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to keep quiet.

I’ve visited Antiga, Barbados, Dominica, Nassau, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Tortolla. They’re all quite different and offer unique opportunities.

Snorkeling, catamaran trips, and deep sea fishing will be fun in any of these places. Caribbean food is also delightful anywhere you go. Where specifically you want to go will depend on what you enjoy doing. Personally, I love to get out an explore nature, so Dominica, Puerto Rico, and St. Lucia have a lot of appeal to me.

Insects and other animals preserved in amber aren’t uncommon finds in the mineral collecting community. You could get a great specimen for under a hundred dollars depending on where you’re looking and when.

Don’t let your dreams stay dreams!

Yes, it’s a pet, but I disagree. These animals have very specific needs, so the fact that this girl found it alive and saved it in time is newsworthy. Goldfish are hardy and can become invasive. Axolotls don’t have those same advantages.

Most well cared for dogs and cats are euthanized when they are at the natural end of their lifespans and no longer have a good quality of life. Bodies grow old and die. It doesn’t matter how much money we invest in medical care, human or animal. At best it can buy a few more (often painful) months or years.

Euthanasia is most often chosen when life is no longer enjoyable for the patient. I think the moral question the OP is posing is why we offer this kind relief to companion animals and not have this option for ourselves.

I was just gifted a Switch 2 for my birthday, and Bonanza was what I was most looking forward to playing. I’m enjoying it a lot, but so far I’m glad I didn’t spend the money myself.

Rest in piss, scumbag.

When I’m making vegetable soup, I usually add some balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and MSG. The acid and umami make the soup taste more balanced and hearty. I hope it’s helpful!

The question of how we make empathy universal isn’t the vapid question. Yours that I was responding to was.

Either way, if women can manage the hit in the balls empathy, surely you can figure this out, too, without a step-by-step pictorial diagram and someone to hold your hand.

If I knew how to make everyone empathetic we wouldn’t even need to be discussing this in the first place. What a vapid question.

The same way we trust that it’s really painful for men to get kicked in the junk without having to experience it ourselves.

I don’t know enough about your finances, medical insurance, and/or pain tolerance to answer that question.

I’d probably check the Best By dates referenced in the article and compare them to the date on your package.

The term for this is “trickle truthing”, and it’s a common tactic when someone gets caught doing something terrible.

The term “female” has been used to subtly degrade women in misogynistic circles and conversations for a long time. I’m struggling to believe this is a new concept for most people, but in case you’re being sincere, you can read more about this here..

There are lots of dogs and cats who crave variety in their diets, too. Like humans, it’s a behavioral thing rather than a nutritional necessity. My shepherd will simply stop eating regularly unless I vary her diet. I usually have three or so options I rotate through to keep her interested in eating. Lots of people add toppers and mix-ins when they have dogs like mine, but I find that only increases food rejection, as smart pups learn to hold out until we sweeten the deal enough.

I worked for a pet food manufacturer, and it amazed me what customers would do to try to entice their picky pets to eat. One guy was giving his dog lasagna, and he was shocked that his dog didn’t want to eat kibble anymore. Imagine that.

This is a Bengal cat, so it’s quite likely they bought the kitten from a breeder.

No, probably just someone with empathy who recognizes the shit situation humans created and how it’s going to play out in the lives of New Zealand’s cats.
