I LOVE that idea! One of our resident cats is a pain to give meds to so I’ll give it a try!

And yes, Bo is half (or so) Bengal. He came to us completely feral but needed those meds so he didn’t go the TNR route. He’s turned into a super friendly guy who craves getting pets - just took a bit to get there. He’s also basically vocal chords on four legs - sings all day long.

If anyone is interested in adopting, he’s listed with MEOW in Calgary, Canada!

66% of our resident cats are on prescription diets. Total non-issue. I think people just worry about other unanticipated costs.

My partner and I foster a lot of cats. Some of the sweetest cats take forever to get adopted just because they aren’t kittens anymore. One of our fosters has been with us for almost three years now - just because he isn’t a kitten and needs some inexpensive meds sprinkled on his food once a day.

How did I not think of that?

She’s discovered that she can get ‘mom time’ by jumping up on the desk we have in the room because oh man, do they never let her rest otherwise.

Fines clearly don’t work. We need criminal penalties.

When asked how many customers would be affected, the company said that while precise numbers are not yet available, up to four customers may be impacted. “I would like offer our sincere apologies to Aunt Sue, Uncle Frank, Mike, and Jodi.”

This reads like a train wreck start to finish.

The number of PSAs about not getting mowed down during Halloween was absurd. ‘Wear reflective vests’, ‘only cross the street in groups’ - and not a single ‘hey, it’s Halloween and there’s going to be excited kids everywhere - please avoid driving and if you have to, be super extra careful’.

My partner’s idea, which I thought was brilliant, was that the speed limit on all residential streets should be dropped to 20km/h for the day.

Mind sorta blown - such a great explanation.

That looks like something out of KSP…
