What if you watched a fat yellow cat... and maybe take it to vacation in Brazil...

I have wondered what would happen if you post a missing pet sign, with a photo from the internet of the type of one you want, if someone would try to return a similar looking one.

People do! I remember there was a twitter post about a guy happy he got his cat back, then found his real cat later |D and now had twin cats

As long as it didn't already have a home, it's a good way to find homes for pets. You can at least check for microchips.

I know that's a thing there, but I don't think it's a common thing here. At least my sister's dogs don't have that...

Maybe it depends on the pet culture. Do you have emergency vets there?

Yeah! They're very expensive |D my sister needed one when the dog ate my dad's birthday cake years ago...

At least they are okay. Now that everyone is getting pet insurance, prices for pet care is increasing, the same way for it did humans. So it's the same problem again, now it's going to be necessary to get pet insurance just to pay for the basics because insurance companies want to profit.

Oh no D: I hate that.. insurance companies are from the devil.

I wonder how pet care would work in countries with universal healthcare, how much the cost would stay affordable if it isn't free for pets.

Hmm there is universal healthcare here but taking care of a pet is still very expensive...

Does your sister ever plan to get more dogs? How old are they now?

One is 8 and the other is 6. She plans to do the 'immortal' thing, when a dog dies she wants to buy a similar one and put the same name

Aw, I get it though. When I lost one dog in particular, it broke me, and I could totally relate to wanting to have them cloned, even if it's not the same dog.

It's one of the reasons my mom doesn't want a pet D: she was sad even when the hamsters died... let alone a dog or a cat(not to rank pets in tiers but already doing it)

Yeah, it's hard either way. Like missing out, but avoiding the pain. But I already do that with humans.

I can send you my Rover profile rough draft, or later if it's a better time? I know there are good writers here, and wonder if anyone else could help.

It's very relatable.

Sure, send me! Yeah create a topic to attract the lurker writers

That's also why fostering seems so hard. Having to part with them, but I guess that's why there are so many "foster fails".

I don't know if you remember Medi Mint, from solia, but she's always fostering cats (and refusing to name any mdom, for some reason)

Yeah, I remember her. She left after becoming a moderator and having to experience the issues with the staff behind the scenes, right? I'd name them with your name, but wouldn't know how to properly pronounce it.

Yeah! Someone created a solia discord and basically everyone said isc/case was a creep in DMs |D

For some reason everyone reads as m-dom, but I favor m-d-o-m, harder to pronounce >:)

I wonder in what way. I remember someone met him and went bowling with him. I guess that Discord is no longer active?

It can almost sound like m'dam, and so it would sound like you are being super courteous to your pets if you used it.

It is, do you want to be invited? Creeper as in sexually harassing asjkdasdhasjda I know he was with someone who's not in the discord, so hearing so many other reports...

Nooo I'm still slowly accepting I'm not longer a miss, but a ma'am

Sure, it'd be nice to see who's active.

Yikes, I thought it was more about his lack of warmth making him come across as creepy.

You still look like a miss to me. At least I don't buy alcohol and don't have to worry about people asking for my ID as an attempt to be nice to the old lady, when really it's not.

I miss when they thought I was a student... but after 30, it's been ma'am only xD

My sister is coming tomorrow with the dogs(and her husband I guess)for my dad's birthday. She's staying a week. The dogs are staying longer |D

Oh my gosh, so many familiar names. No wonder we stuck around, the people there.

I hope it's not too stressful for you. Say hi to the doggies.

Yeah, so many people I thought I'd never see again xD
did you know froslad and I share a birthday... but he's ten years younger ehehe

Ugh, it will be. My sister invited so many relatives and my mom is mad about it T^T

Sorry I missed your birthday. You can always say that your birth certificate was lost and you think you're around 28.

Now's the time to invent a million tasks that suddenly need your attention and you'll have to excuse yourself.

No need to be sorry!! We'll have more birthdays to celebrate.

Ha! I hope they let me sleep during the day...

Just do like the movies and wear headphones so that you can be completely oblivious to all the drama happening around you.

I try, but then they poke me |D
I'm kinda tired. We went to the supermarket, I had to carry the weight bc my sister has a herniated disc, then I helped to cook, washed dishes, helped cook some more...

Ouch, those are no fun to deal with.

At least carrying groceries is a good way to get stronger. I like to challenge myself and carry a lot of weight.

But that does sound exhausting overall.

T^T another day tired. This time because of the kids... the cousins who came here have 7 year olds and they did whatever they wanted with me... including sports

Did they harm you?

Make a competition out of cleaning. Who can vacuum the fastest, or wash dishes the best.

Or cover them in glitter to torture the parents.

Only my dignity |D I had to play ball, explain what were the pics on my computer (fortunately everything was pg13), my face painted with concealer, missed dinner etc.
I can't cover them in glitter in my own home, who's gonna clean it xD

Heheh, at least you don't have to raise them full time.

I've never actually been around kids or babies ever since I was one.

Does your family live far away? We're all kinda close. Lunch went well!! We brought a lof of cake home. My mom made her family cry mentioning her sister who died but always wanted to be at my dad's 90...

I only interacted with the maternal grandparents, most of the time. I haven't met most family members and rarely saw any others. My parents were basically the black sheep of the families and were kind of cut off.

Send me some cake!

Aw, that sounds like something you can never really overcome.

Ah, I see. I have some cousins I don't think I know from my dad's side. But my mom's family we're very close.

Sending you cake rn. Hope you like berries!!

It's basically why it's just my father that's all that is left. I met my grandfather from his side several years ago and he mentioned how much he likes spending time with his grandkids. Completely forgetting that I was one of them who he never met, except when I was a baby.

I don't know of any cake flavors that wouldn't be good.
