I am considering getting another cat, but I have to wonder what I should feed it. I am not sure I can commit to making my own cat food, but it seems the only way.

Ha! I knew.

Okay, good. I'm in that so very tired that I'm convinced everything I say is offensive and asshole-ish.

Sophia, it is so not the only way. Maybe I am misinformed, but the food recall only hit certain brands, right?

This is my Switch. He outweighs Elliot, who is half Maine Coon, half Siamese. Switch is only 9 months old.

So pretty big boy! How much does he weigh now? I know I've posted this before but my 25 pounder, Uncle Bud (who has closed himself in the bathroom twice in the last week...his brains is not what's weighing him down):

Yeah, I feed mine 3 different brands of wet food and one kind of dry, none of which were part of the recall.

I know 2^10 because, my freshman year in college, my phone extension was 1024. And my dad instantly said, "Oh, that's easy to remember because it's two to the tenth power." Which would never have occurred to me, but it did stick in my head after that.

How much does he weigh now?

I would say at least 15 lbs.

There was this famous study a while back that showed that depressed people have a more realistic view of reality than non-depressed view. But now I read that this was only in certain specific and trivial cases. Huh.

Heh, that's akin to my pet theory about panic attacks -- that the people who don't have them aren't paying attention.

Some presidential candidate responses to the Supreme Court:

"I'm very happy about the decision given my position on abortion. Partial birth is one of the most odious aspects of abortion," - McCain

"The Supreme Court reached the correct conclusion in upholding the congressional ban on partial birth abortion. I agree with it," - Giuliani

"The ban upheld by the Court is an ill-considered and sweeping prohibition that does not even take account for serious threats to the health of individual women," - Edwards

""I am extremely concerned that this ruling will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman's right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade, which is established federal law and a matter of equal rights for women," - Obama
