-t, don't invest too heavily in renal support cat food until you're sure your cat will eat it. None of mine ever would. I ended up just focusing on getting something in them that they'd eat and hoping for the best.

No kidding. We fed Slinky canned Royal Canin renal support food for 2 years. Glad we had those 2 years with her, but that food is expensive. And I don't miss making those trips out of the way to PetSmart to get the food.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Laura!

My vet gave me a sampler pack to try first, and Pixie was happy to eat all the flavors - liked it better than her regular food. She only eats about a tablespoon at a time if I'm lucky and persistent, so it's pretty likely she'll never actually finish this order of food, but I gotta give her the best shot I can. She's started declining faster the last couple months, poor thing, so I need to ramp up the pampering.

I'm glad she is willing to eat it. I ended giving mine meat baby foods as about the only thing they'd eat. Good luck with Pixie.

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, Pixie deserves the pampering.
Meara, mostly adding lots of fiber and the good oils. Yay avocados!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor Pixie.
Good job, Laura!
Nice work, Toddson!

mmm, avocados! Excellent.
Since this is the first real week of my leave of absence, and I was so frantic before that that I didn't plan anything, I'm trying to take this week to Get Shit Done. So far today has been medium good on that front. Made a few calls, but so far nothing has really been finished, even if I started the thing, but mostly in a "waiting for someone to call me back to do the next step" way. Part of the plan is to figure out a diet I want to eat and actually stick to, and doing some meal planning for that. And partly trying to find a therapist. Which is OBNOXIOUS--nobody takes insurance, even if they're on the insurance website, or even if they list my insurance on their own website, or they're not taking new patients, etc etc. What's the point of having mental health coverage if you can't actually access it? And I"m actually doing OK right now and able to make calls and email people!

Yeah, trying to find a therapist is nearly impossible, IME.
So someone has offered me free tickets to the Hugh Jackman show, but what they sent me is I think a screenshot. Do you think that will work?? (It's my aunt's mother, so I'm not that inclined to ask her to try to do more with technology....)
