Oh Cass. Oh Anne. So much love.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, poor sweet Jeeves. Much love to him and you, Anne.
I'm so sorry, Cass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Poor kitty. I hope the vet's advice helps. And poor Anne, that's really hard, to see them struggling and not be able to fix it.
The mockingbirds do all those calls to intimidate All The Birds, so it makes sense they'd throw in a couple cat sounds as well. It must be exhausting to be one, the one in my neighborhood calls all day and I've certainly heard it in the night, too.
There's one that sits on the telephone pole at the corner of my backyard and sings and sings and sings until he fills up with music and just has to leap into the air, wings spread, not to fly away, just a short hop up and glide down, still singing all the while. It is a joy to see.
It does not, afaict, keep other birds away. But it's dang impressive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Cass.
I'm sorry, Anne.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Elevating the food and making it easier to grab seems to have helped. He tucked right in when I put the food dish on its box, and now he's come back into the living room and is curled up on my lap, quite content.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm glad the vet's suggestion was helpful, Anne.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for a good meal and a contented Jeeves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's so good to hear, Anne.
Cass, I'm so sorry.
I cannot believe how exhausted I am from this week. Slept a million hours last night, am unclear if I'll do anything before dinner plans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, good, Anne. I'm glad something so simple has a marked positive improvement.
Cass, time is horrible that way, and it's been pretty horrible to you over the past little while. Breaks, world! We need, at least, breaks.
That lyrebird was amazing. For some reason the second camera sound was more impressive.
I have a jar (of pasta sauce) that I can't open. My hands are always moisturised to this side of slick, so not much grip there, but normally I can fend for myself. I've tried heat, popping the bottom of the bottle, as well as my make-do friction addition--using my version of the LiveStrong band (it says Apathy) to improve friction. But nothing. Any in-home trick suggestions? I would also consider buying a simple thingy to do it when I finally leave the house for errands today.
