  • Spay. There’s no reason not to. There are more cats than homes willing to take them in. My brother’s family adopted a kitty they found in their yard and she had two kittens at only one year old. The kitten that they kept has to be kept from his mom until he’s neutered or she’s spayed because cats will bang family members (I didn’t know this previously).

    As someone else pointed out, cats get outside unexpectedly. One of mine was missing for 24h after I didn’t secure a door properly. Glad she didn’t come home preggers cause she was spayed by the adoption agency.

    Congrats on your new friend!


  • Also, we’re in beta

    That means there might be a few hiccups along the way. If you run across any problems you can always let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix them.

    I would have thought this is a disqualifier in terms of quality of the service, but if that’s acceptable to you then I’m glad you got something that works.








  • And have multiple copies in at least two locations of anything truly important to guard against disaster (such as a fire or regionally appropriate natural disaster). I got a spare drive to copy all the music that I’ve made and sent it to my father in a different part of the country. I could lose everything and be pretty bummed, but not that (without severe depression). I also endorse use of a safe deposit box at a bank if you don’t have someone who can hold data in a different city.


  • I’ve had two kitties that got one or two pounds overweight and both were long-hairs. I always figured that cats that are built for colder weather have an instinct to eat and bulk up in case of food scarcity. My short-hair kitty has stayed slender which, to me, seems to back that up. But I don’t know anything scientific or medical, it’s just an observation.


  • Not OP, but I had to take my little buddy to got to the vet under dire circumstances. I held him, wrapped in a towel for warmth, like a baby. I talked to him and he talked back but never opened his eyes. I couldn’t be in the room when they gave him the shot or after. Now I’m crying.
