Pax is sending her love to you on this ! Her surgery went well, she seems to be recuperating nicely, and she doesn't mind having to wear her post-surgical skirt.
The housing crisis has created cat crisis landlords are declaring their buildings pet-free as a way to get around rent caps and renoviction rules
Story by me
When people allow domestic cats roam, this is what they are supporting: needless slaughter of MILLIONS of birds (and other wildlife) & the spread of deadly disease (especially toxoplasmosis) into wildlife & children
My snail is sweating I think I think eggs are on the way
So cute how my snails just stick their faces in the water bowl and lap it up like cats or dogs do

Pax wants to say "thank you" to all of you who wished her well. Her surgery is over and she seems to be doing fine.
She likes her post-surgical skirt (rather than the dreaded cone of shame)! Good night (or good day) everyone!
help.
my sister's cat has turned into a box.
This is Pax wearing her post-surgery skirt. So far I am really loving it! Works well! It attaches to her collar.
are you normal or is this you
I can only hope to be as comfortable as Dahlia looks in this picture

They continue to do so now. Because the war continues and a lot of animals need and will need help.

They had chosen to all get along. For a time.
Happy Birthday to Pennys older half sister Millie!
Happy Tuesday to you all!
I must say that today is not an especially happy day for little Pax. It's the day she gets spayed. We dropped her off at the vet's early this morning. Hopefully all will go well and we'll be able to pick her up in the late afternoon.

My dad was very into , so over the weekend I picked up one of his cameras and some lenses so I can work on getting much better than my phone can take. I got this one of Phoebe while messing around with it, and it's amazing to see the detail of her fur without all of the post-processing magic blurring it.
Sure, why don't you both come and sit on my Wonder Woman tank top that I'm trying to fix, it's not like there's a readily available cushion 5 centimeters away. :BlobCatuwu:

Enjoy the weather this week but remember to always stay hydrated!
Pets are wrong.
I dont mean that pets hold wrong , of course: I mean that the idea of keeping small animals around for fun is a mistake.
Let me refine that: keeping in urban environments is almost always wrong.
- Its a misallocation of resources (invest that same money and attention on a fellow human being or improving the welfare of farmed animals, which have it much, much worse than your chihuahua).
- Many pets are probably miserable (caged rodents, reptilians and birds cats and dogs living in apartments any animal lacking space, exercise, challenges, prey, mates, etc).
- For cities, some pets may be healthy (eg, cats killing mice), but many others facilitate disease, stain the streets with their droppings, are dangerous to people, or are noisy.
- Pets waste much-needed empathy and send the wrong signal: there are so many pressing issues, and so many millions of people (and billions of farmed animals) in need of help, and so many causes lacking funds and visibility, that choosing to buy a pet and spend money on it seems a weird whim.
Exceptions I understand: guide dogs and the like pets for lonely people who really cant find friends or caregivers purely rural environments.

Remarkable story.
An abused stray mutt kept trying to move himself into a senior care facility. 3X!
But a few nights later, there was Scout, back on that same couch in the nursing home lobby. Somehow he again scaled a 10-foot chain-link fence, then a 6-foot solid privacy fence, crossed a highway without getting run over, entered the front door unnoticed, jumped onto the same couch as before and made himself at home for the night.
Invasive species such as feral cats are the number-one driver of biodiversity loss in Australia, UN report shows
"Australia is the mammal extinction capital of the world and cats have played a role in two-thirds of mammal extinctions over the last 200 years"
"Every year, cats kill 2 billion reptiles, birds and mammals in Australia. That's almost 6 million every night."
"Australia has close to 3,000 invasive alien species estimated to cost Australia approximately $25 billion every year in losses to agriculture and management costs," CSIRO chief research scientist for biosecurity Andy Sheppard said."
The report "found 45 per cent of all countries did not invest in the management of biological invasions and only 17 per cent had national laws or regulations addressing the problem".

It's almost time for Pax to go to sleep. Good night to all of you (or good day)!

Is it okay to kiss your pet What diseases can pets carry
"Dogs and cats are major reservoirs of zoonotic infections ..."
"Kissing pets has also been linked to occasional zoonotic infections in pet owners."
"Pet ownership is at an all-time high, with a recent survey finding 69% of Australian households have at least one pet."
Australians spend an estimated A$33 billion every year on their pets.
Bellingen residents choose to own an abundance of dogs and cats in the middle of a native wildlife hotspot. Pedestrians and staff of eateries regularly fumble on dog snouts. Dogs inside eateries often slobber over tables, but no one cares...

Invasive species No 1 driver of biodiversity loss in Australia and feral cats have biggest impact, report finds
"Australasia has been identified as a global hotspot for invasive species. In Australia, invasive species are the number one driver of biodiversity loss"
"Feral cats have the greatest environmental impact..."
"Australia has lost more native mammal species than any other continent, with more than 100 species listed as either extinct or extinct in the wild.'
This report makes it clear that the Albanese governments commitment to
n o n e w e x t i n c t i o n s will be no more than a slogan without increased focus and funding needed to prevent the next wave of invasive species."
Lyall Grieve, conservation and biosecurity analyst for the Invasive Species Council
Invasive species are likely to be a primary driver of 85% of the next round of predicted vertebrate extinctions over the next 20 years"
