Would low pressure snacks like tea and biscuits be palatable? Egg custard? Creamy soups?

(Sorry if this is unsolicited advice. I seem to be giving a lot of it lately)

Are there any appetite stimulants (ie medication) that might work? Or is it something else?

I’m sorry you and she are going through this

I saw a foldable Pilates machine on eBay… that would be awesome but 1. that’s a great way to get involuntarily folded into a metal death trap and 2. would I actually use it. Because fatigue is kicking my arse

Maybe I’ll think about it after I’ve sold some of my stuff and cleared out some storage space

Edit: Also worth considering if it’s a real product for such a low price (ie does the picture reflect accurately what you get, or could it even be a scam)

Yeah nah

I hope it’s something that isn’t serious… thanks for the reassurance, I’ve been having the most awful sinking feeling and have been resisting contacting the vet because I’m afraid of the answer.

I might just fire them a photo even if it annoys them 😣

I’m a bit worried about a black spot on the tip of Melbcat’s nose.

spoilerIt started tiny with regular use of a steroidal asthma puffer in a spacer that went over her muzzle (the traces of medication weren’t wiped off her face after). So I thought it was just a kitty pimple.

But it’s grown over the years and looks a little like a scab? For ages I thought it was just a crusty booger because she doesn’t let me clean her face but suddenly I’m not so sure 😞

If it helps at all I sometimes used to hang sheets and blankets over the corners of doors.

Giving an extra spin dry cycle at the end also really helps

Sometimes you can do everything perfect and the person still isn’t in a space to receive it or come out of that spiral. Love isn’t a substitute for therapy, medication, or whatever he needs, so he has to think about what would help him.

Make sure to look after yourself. You can support him but make sure to spread the load and ensure you’re not trying harder than he is. You can’t do it all

 

There’s not much to be done over Winter so I’m deciding what my plans are for Spring.

Are you planning or prepping anything? Improving the soil over winter?

 

This grant is a great step, kitten season is coming

 

Yes Coles are price gougers and part of a duopoly so I hate recommending them.

But if the drop off part of things is a challenge at least there’s the option to use this.

 

Seems Yarrabyte has got on the beers?

Winter is coming, bills will be high. Do you have tips to help us get by?

 

(Posting a few days early while I remember)

Winter is coming. Any plans?

Things are really bad in my area and Victoria is the only Australian state that still charges for methadone. There’s not much I can do individually but share resources and hope it helps someone.

It's really cooling down now… What are your plans if any?

 

Prices are always rising.

What have you found good for saving a dollar?
