I’m no dentist but his gums look in great shape!

Well if you would just demonstrate that you know how to catch and kill your own, she could relax about trying to teach you.

You need to proceed immediately to a place which has a friendly pettable cat. Or cats.

You can look at a cat and do the Slow Blink a few times to say “I’m not threatening you, nor threatened by you.” Which is the closest cats get to “let’s be friends.”

Sad kitty is sad. Hope they fully recover soon.

Great! If you haven’t already, shower and text her you’re clean and available, although of course you understand if she’s busy right now.

Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.

That one made me snort!

Honestly, it’s a huge unexpected step from “meet for coffee” to “come shower in my apartment.” Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you’re just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you’re not lying it’s not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you’re done dealing with this and clean again.

Cat hair is notorious for floating everywhere, so yes. That said, the heavy duty (extra-fluffy) dry Swiffer sweeper pads are really helpful if you have smooth floors. And a squeegee is effective to remove cat hair from fabric surfaces they sleep on like the sofa and plush mat. Knit clothes and staticky microfiber fabrics love cat hair, smooth woven cotton lets go of it more easily, if you’re picking out an outfit for an important meeting.

Protected from weather and ambush, high vantage point to survey territory, and it’s a BOX! Purrfect.

Therapy definitely has its place. But that place should also include a purring cat, as should every home.

We are Siamese if you DON’T please!

WHAT did you do to that poor baby‽‽‽

Jail for a thousand years!

In Cat, asshole is a compliment. That’s why they show you theirs.

She probably has her own name for you. To which you respond about as well as she responds when you use hers.

We got a new cat a week after our very old one died because the apartment was so achingly empty without her. She’d basically raised our kids and was perfect in every way. She was ill for long enough at the end for us to take time telling her that, and grieve while caring for her and loving on her and waiting until the first available time for the home vet to come so she wouldn’t have to go anywhere. And whisper it again into her fur as she took her last breath.

Afterward we looked around at all the things we had to make her comfortable and realized that while no one could ever replace her, there were other old cats sitting in shelter cages who needed love too.

We went to the city shelter and wound up with a cat who is disabled, can’t jump and needed all her teeth extracted. So we paid for that, and brought her home.

Soon after, we somehow also ended up with a feisty stray kitten.

Miss Perfection’s ashes are on a shelf, and I tear up when they catch my eye, but the misfits give us an outlet for all the love she taught us.
