I will say, she was a known puker before I got her, but the records sounded like she was throwing up her food due to eating too fast, and that doesn't sound like this. I'll call and see if I can get an appointment this week, I guess.

Yeah, okay, I am not helpful, am I? Sorry. When my cats have been sick, they're eyes looked sick, but maybe I"m a bad mom who waits too long before taking her pets to the vet.

No, that was helpful!

D used to puke all the time - sometimes from gulping his food, but other times because he was upset or mad or just being difficult.

The big thing is, to look for changes - changes in appearance, changes in patterns of behavior. A cat who frequently throws up food, isn't throwing up food anymore but is throwing up bile - that's a significant change. It means something. What it means, maybe is a good thing, maybe isn't a good thing. The veterinarian can help figure it out.

Oh yes, feline stress puking. In addition to having to deal with the mess, you have to deal with their stress. Which, you know, adds to yours.

But I'm sorry Hazel's feeling pukey, Jesse. I hope you find out it's something minor and easy to treat. And I second all the "yes, vet" nods.

Finn got a sour stomach from the stress after I brought Eddie home. The big problem was that he wasn't eating because of the upset tummy, which can cause issues for cats. The vet gave him an antacid and (I think?) an appetite stimulant.

Is Hazel eating?

Finally caught up and have to add my whoohoos to both the ACA and SSM coming out on the winning (our) side in one week. I want to hug them all (except Scalia.) I'll take reasoned dissent, and thank the person for it, over fucknuts raving, any day. Plus, thanks for the link to POTUS singing Amazing Grace; I ♥ that man and his wonderfully expressed compassion for all.

Also, Hi, Cindy! Nice to see you adding to the gladful rejoicing here. I've always enjoyed the way you express yourself.

I'm writing to my landlord to tell her that I'm moving and need to break the lease, and I'm not sure how to word it.

Dear Landlord,

Thank you for being my landlord for the last X months/years, but I am going to be moving and need to break the lease. Please call me or email me to go over the procedure for this.

Me.

Email sent. I hope landlord is understanding. I'm giving 60 days notice and I'm not even gonna try to get out of the reletting fee.

Edit: thanks, Connie. I probably should have said thanks, but mostly went with apologies for making life difficult.
