Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.
Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we’re talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.
And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.
I’m obsessed with this photo. I love all the subtle changes in the colors of the reflections on the windows.
Were you just in the right place at the right time, or were you specifically trying to capture this?
Everything about this is amazing. The spooning. The multitude of curled feetsies. The pudgy belly with the black tail curl on top. 10/10
This post led me down a 2 hour binge of various cave Wikipedia articles. I’m not complaining, it was really neat. Thanks for sharing this!
I love his coat coloring! Like the front half is tuxedo and the back half is tortie. What a cutie pie.
I haven’t edited the photo to confirm but I don’t think that’s true. I think the bottom piece is installed upside down. So to fix it, you’d flip that one around and put it back in that space, then take out the next two moving vertically and switch where they are each placed. Then you have a nice straight line where the bumpy brick sidewalk ends.
Ooh fascinating, thanks for explaining! I’ll look in to her writing.
I’m a woman who played with dolls growing up, but I don’t understand what you mean. Why would that have helped?
…no the question at the top of this comment thread is “who is it?”
And in which case, the answer is written in the subtitle of the article, a single click away. Literally the text when you load the page is:
"Celebrity Number Six’ Internet Mystery Is Solved
Jason Koebler, Sep 9, 2024 at 10:28 AM
Spanish model Leticia Sardá is Celebrity Number Six."
Idk the source, but if you zoom in, it looks like maybe the notch is the top of a speech bubble. So I think it’s an identical frame with the bubble on top of the last one.
I say this largely to convince myself it’s not worth staring at any more 😅
I like being a data nerd 🤓 Garmin’s help articles are pretty informative, this is the one about HRV if you’re curious for more: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/garmin-technology/health-science/hrv-status/
Fellow Garmin user with ADHD.
The HRV status feature on your Garmin is meant to track physiological stress. Not necessarily mental stress (although that can affect physiological things.) Unfortunately yes, when I’m on my ADHD meds (currently unable to source my Adderall XR) my HRV status is lower.
But functionally, I’m better when I’m on my ADHD meds. Yes my body has a heightened stress response (i.e. higher HR during the day when I’m on my meds) from the meds, but in my opinion that’s a necessary side effect of the ADHD meds. I’d rather be functional and capable and have a worse HRV than spend hours laying on the floor feeling like I can’t function because of my ADHD.
Your HRV status covers a rolling 4-week average. Given enough time on the meds, it will learn your new HRV trends and stop reporting you as “unbalanced.” It looks worse than it is right now because the initial period of getting on meds is making it look like your system is out of whack. Which honestly it kind of is, as it’s adjusting. Once you figure out the med combo for you, not only will your HRV settle down from getting used to the meds, but the score on your Garmin will also settle down as you spend more time in your “new normal” range.
Basically what I’m saying is: HRV on your Garmin is more intended to track the impact of training and exercise on your body, and not necessarily intended to track how medication changes affect the score. Personally I would take the Garmin readings with that grain of salt: the changes to your score are due to meds rather than exercise, so it’s sort of outside the intended use of the feature. Keep up with the meds and keep up with your normal training, but your Daily Suggested Workouts will probably be a bit easier while it recovers from thinking your status is Unbalanced.
Women are you going out of town for the weekend of the day 😄
It suggested the emoji too
Hey have you seen this fixed?
I don’t have the setting enabled for mark read on scroll, but I am using the setting for mark read on peek. That isn’t working for me right now.
Hoping this is the same bug and we’re both waiting on the fix, rather than this being a case of patching the original bug and causing a new one 😅
Everyone is so impressed 💀 Y’all, he’s spraying. You can see his pee drops land on the bed in the first clip 😅
Growing up we were on a swim team and my brother would chew on his goggle straps while waiting for a race. My parents bought us some flavored goggle straps lol. I think they were blueberry flavor…
Goggles aren’t even something designed to go in your mouth like a mouth guard, but I guess they knew kids chewed on them so why not
Our kitty is Scout, who we call Scooty. And sometimes Scooter/Scooterella/Scooterbutt/Scootypuff Junior. She prefers the Xbox controller over the Steamdeck though.
Cool! A TNR kitty!
If you see a stray with an eartip (the top point removed from one ear) this is a sign of a Trap-Neuter-Return cat. It’s the sign that an outdoor kitty has been caught, fixed, and then returned to their outdoor home. It means some humans care about this cat and their colony 🙂
More on ear tipping. More on TNR.
I used to live in the area and the “massive flooding all the time” is literally nothing compared to the amount of devastation in the area currently. Entire communities have literally been obliterated by landslides. Thousands of people are stranded because of damaged roads. Hundreds of thousands are still without power. In some isolated areas it is going to take weeks/months to rebuild infrastructure to even access the areas, let alone repair homes and return electricity.
I’m actually upset, because your comment is implying that this is a run-of-the-mill occurrence in the area. This is an unprecedented tragedy and the worst flooding the area has seen since 1916 (and this time it affects thousands more people because of growth in the region.)
