Timid Goddess: Djelibeybi: Timid Goddess: maxheck: Question for experienced kittyfriends:

Simba was in a fight recently, he doesn't have any sign of wounds or infection, perhaps they healed already.

But he does not put weight on his back right leg. Mom, who sees him daily and has an RN in human medicine thinks it's a dislocation.

So I guess my question is this.... Do vets have any way to yoink and set a kitty leg? Anyone with experience here?

No experience, but I would expect it to be pretty much the same as a human vet, anesthetic for the pain and to relax the muscle, then move the joint back into place.  Might need a general rather than a local because critters can't understand "Stay still a moment, then it'll be fine as soon as the swelling goes down."

Hi, sweetie! How are you feeling today? Better, I hope - hang in there, cuz we're hoping and wishing for you, fam. Do you need anything?

Anxiety is through the roof and coughing is still very frequent during the day.  So, hanging in there.

Has anyone had an update from DLC?

Compact Travel Size: Thank you for having this link - I am in a cast with pins sticking out of my toe, it's hot, I'm sweating, and I can't shower. But I can eat a popsicle and watch cat videos. While trying to convince my cats that it's too hot to cuddle.

Real Women Drink Akvavit: Mah car has had her name revealed! It was super weird, but kinda cool!

I was wrapping up a small job and walking toward my car when I saw one of the local Heathens I know  in the same shopping center. We started chatting about a potential issue coming up in a couple of months. It's not  something that has come up in a while since a few of you were super worried about it,  but I still do occasionally join with a group of Heathens to physically put myself between a different, racist group of Heathens and whoever they are targeting if we find out  about it in advance. Our  bodies serve as the literal shield wall for the non-Heathens who are being  targeted.  As far as total group sizes  go, we are outnumbered about 8 to 1. Still, I like the odds. Especially since most of the other group almost never shows up and it just ends up with a couple dozen of us slinging insults at the handful of frightened, confused ITGs who showed up to be racist farks because they confused themselves with strangely racist Vikings who had found the softest of targets - and instead found a pack of actual Heathenfolk  who are quite pissed about their existence waiting for them.

When the realization of who/what we are and why we are there hits, you can see it crossing their faces. It almost always cracks me up. I would also not be surprised if a couple of them were suddenly in need of new undergarments.

I still wish they'd learn that none of us are Vikings. We're Californians. They should just have some tofu and settle the fark down. Maybe they could quit being aggressive dicks to people for no good reason, too.

We haven't had to do this in quite a while, but it sounds like it may be necessary soonish, sad to say.


Aaaaanyway, I confirm that I am indeed still in, dude finally acknowledges my totally adorbs car and asks about it. Eventually he asks what it set me back and I COMPLETELY blank out on the cost. I couldn't even wager a guess for some reason, so eventually I just tell him "I'll be ...
