I have had a couple cats who do this! It’s adorable. It does mean I’ve woken up with cat toys in my bed, though.

I like when they’re mostly under something but their tail’s flicking around so you know they’re having a silly time.

I remember when we found a chihuahua’s christmas sweater at a garage sale, and that our cat didn’t mind wearing it. What a patient boy, he was.

My first thought was “moldy abstracted heart” but in a “that looks cool” way.

I had a cat who lost her mother and she would occasionally try to nurse on my bathrobe.

Cats can be so different at a shelter or even at a foster home than they will be when they get settled. I remember my sister was told the cat she got was “a little playful” like if you made an effort, but twenty minutes after the cat settled in she was flipping her shit over a string toy. Even years later, sick, tired, and elderly, she’d dredge up some energy to bat at a toy.

Definitely see if the mood fluctuations and cramping keeps happening on a schedule. It can help a bit knowing you’re moody because of hormones. I’ve always been irregular, so sometimes I’ll get my period and realize what was going on with my mood the last couple days.

My mood swings were way worse during puberty, so it’s likely your body will adjust eventually. Lots of people also have periods that they need help through, as well, so you might end up needing (pharmaceutical) help through yours once enough time has passed that the initial intensity should have settled a bit.

I remember as a teen just really needing to cry sometimes, so I had some books that I’d read at those times and when I was done crying, I’d feel more even. Try stuff out. If one month it’s an angrier feeling, listen to loud angry music or punch a pillow. Finding healthy ways to feel and express intense emotions during these times seemed to help ride it out for me.

I wonder why it titles itself 1628 when it gave both of us 1627

Are most of them from the same litter, or do you just really love stripey guys?

Nah. Part of my night routine is arranging the blankets properly.

I really dig this!

Oh, neat! My cat gets special food cause of her own allergies, so a powder would be way nicer if one of the humans here developed an allergy.

You know, an anecdote still seems like more legit data than some of the articles I saw. Unless… you’re also sponsored??? (joking) There does seem to be a lot of potential in targeting the allergin cats make, so I’m genuinely hopeful about these kinds of treatments.

There are apparently cat foods that reduce the production of what humans are allergic to, but I struggled a bit to find an article about it that didn’t read like a paid advertisement. I guess here:

They should be, but it’s easier to blame a group that’s marginalized. Ego protecting, even. It wasn’t that she was better in any way that she got the job. Must be DEI.

Losing an advantage that you were told was an entitlement can feel like something has been taken.

I think that picture is pretty old
