Melbcat won’t eat her 4cyte in food and it’s an oil so is dangerous to syringe into her mouth while she fights it.

spoiler

(You’re not supposed to give oil or paraffin based medicine to kids or animals that are struggling because of the risk of them breathing it in.)

And I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure of some random plant oil and thought something else would work better. Only bought the 4cyte on vet recommendation. I might try and get that money back guarantee and buy something different.

Edit: Ah shit. I’m within the 30 days but didn’t buy it from the vet, got it from Petcircle, so not eligible for money back. If you buy this get it from the vet and keep the receipt.

She’s also possibly got a uti again so vet asap

Mrs B convinced my not to pull the trigger on the iphone 16 pro deals. My phone still works fine so shes convinced to me ride it out and just accept that you'll have to pay more to replace mine when it actually dies (or develops a fault I cant deal with). If I end up paying 2.5k for a new iphone cause of trumps tarrifs I'm gonna be spewing but I guess thats future me's problem.

The tariffs are USA law, so only affect imports into USA. If you buy in Australia price is unaffected.

Gorgeous spot.

Ooh that’s good to hear. I might wander over there this weekend.

It might also be because it is... a gorge-ous spot...
