I always said it infuriates me that the adults who constantly complain about kids being fooled on the Internet never look inward at themselves. Not just the elderly. Plenty of people in their 50-60s, who taught people in my generation to verify info, happily accept anything on the internet

Both ursodiol bottles Nyx received for his liver were on Wedgewood's recall list. I don't even know if they worked or if it would've mattered or not. I'm angry this is in the back of my mind now. Just brought everything back up again #cats #CatofBluesky #catsky

New NWSL owners, the Haslams, donated money to Ramaswamy who just used Acton's mother in a campaign to call her a liar. The same mother who lost custody of Acton at age 12 because she sided with her husband who molested Acton. The Haslams sure love their rapists and rape apologists

One of the worst lasting effects of losing Nyx, other than missing him so much, is feeling such a sense of paranoia and dread when Binx doesn't finish his food. Taking him in for a senior panel for peace of mind but I hate feeling like this

They only fired him because we all found out

A month ago I posted that we'd be letting Nyx go and he ended up recovering enough that we got to spend another month with him. It was a great gift despite being uncertain the whole time whether he'd recover or not. Ultimately, we had to say goodbye this week. #HealingPurrsPawty

Nyx continued to decline over the weekend, so we chose to say goodbye at his appointment today. We brought his brother Binx along to say goodbye to him. A month ago, Nyx bounced back & it ended up being a gift that made today feel so less unexpected.

He was a cat who needed to greet everyone in the room. He was cooperative with almost everything you'd want to do with him but was also the most stubborn cat I've had when it came to getting what he wanted. He was the boss of his brother. They'd get in spats but also spend time cuddling and grooming

He and his brother were the first cats I raised as kittens. Nyx grew up to be my soul cat. Say hello to your dog brother Domino for me. I know you hated all cats but your brother Binx, but your predecessors Spring and Autumn will be there for you too. I love you so much โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’”

Ultrasound of Nyx's liver still shows hepatic lipidosis. Unfortunately, it appears he isn't likely to recover. He'll be seeing his regular vet soon. Probably be discussing when we should let him go. May not be done immediately as he's been comfortable on his meds but it'll be sooner than later

Hmm. Gave Vlatko a lot of grief over his USWNT era but I honestly think he wasn't responsible for the main moves that are causing the Current to struggle

BREAKING: Vlatko Andonovski and the Kansas City Current have mutually parted ways. Per club release: "Both parties determined that Andonovskiโ€™s requested transition from coaching into the Sporting Director role at the end of last season was not the right fit." #NWSL

While Nyx has remained stable since we initially thought he would need to be euthanized, he hasn't exactly improved either. I think he probably has something terminal going on. I'll enjoy and spoil him for whatever time I have left with him

Nyx holding steady. Has made it to 8 lb. He still has some off days even with the gabapentin. I asked whether a steroid could possibly help with any inflammation from the liver/pancreas/possibly even intestine. Vet agreed to give it a try. So we'll see how it goes.

Trying to keep expectations in check but hard not to feel pretty good that Nyx has gained 0.22 lb since last Saturday. He's normally closer to 9.5 lb but dropped to 7.75 when the liver troubles started. One day at a time

Waiting to post this to make sure he really seemed to turn around. Was completely expecting to say goodbye to Nyx this past Monday. He was hiding, wouldn't eat, has been dealing with pancreatitis/hepatic lipidosis. Up until mid Sunday, I had every reason to go thru with it. I began giving gabapentin

I still wasn't entirely convinced until he woke me up at 6 am the morning of his appointment asking to be fed again. This led me to be willing to give him more time & cancelling the appointment. Thank u to everyone who sent us their thoughts &/or prayers. He is still sick & it may still go wrong.

For now, he let me know it's too soon. He is playing again, enjoying walks in his halter, and sleeping comfortably. Feeding is still a struggle but still much easier than it was when I called the vet for a euth appointment. I'll just focus on his comfort & see what happens

I was feeding my other cat who is always noisy at mealtimes. Nyx heard him and ran out of the closet. He wanted to be fed. He ate half a can of wet food. He was no longer hiding & wanted to hang out with me.

He has a catio so I never take him outside like this, but he's been miserable. I don't see things changing by tomorrow, so we'll probably still be saying goodbye. The outdoors has made him happy, though, and he briefly chased a butterfly

#HealingPurrsPawty I'll be saying goodbye to Nyx on Mon after battling liver disease & hepatic lipidosis. 11 yrs seems so soon but they've been so loving. The sweetest cat I've ever had who always greeted everyone in the room. I'm pretty sure u are my soul cat. I know ur brother will miss u too

My cat has been battling liver disease for the past month. No matter how little cat food he ate, he never turned down cooked chicken until today. Gonna ask for more BW and imaging of liver but things aren't feeling too good

Have NWSL players collectively lost their minds this year when it comes to red card offenses? A lot of them aren't even accidental and quite a few haven't even been called reds when they should have been ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Alan Grant is what I 1st knew him as. Watched Jurassic Park probably too young as a 2 yr old but I loved it. He's always been a part of my childhood & I loved watching him in other movies. Not all famous people live up to your expectations but Sam Neill certainly exceeded mine. Genuinely good person

Missed the last half of England/Croatia. Think my cat has a mini stroke. Seems completely recovered now but scared the shit out of me. Soonest appointment available at regular vet is Monday but fully prepared for the ER vet if he gets worse. Hoping it won't come to that. So much more expensive
