About those vet bills and making gift subscriptions...my one prospective recipient turned down the offer as he is already deluged with magazines and web-based material. I am, however, happy to extend my subscription for another year or two of CG, though, I'm not sure how your system works -- is it possible to sign up and pay now for an extra year? Maybe you could write a how-to piece for us clueless substack dummies..

Looking at those pictures: "Aww, there she is home from surgery." "Aww, look at them together." "Ack! Nonono why Claire? She went full 'Seven' on Suley...never mind, that's not a head in a box."

Do French vets let you administer fluids for CKD cats? I suppose it would depend on you and the cat’s nature if you can do it. It gave me probably 6 months more with one of my old lady cats in 2019, and I wished I’d started it sooner.

As I was reading this, Allegro, our younger cat, climbed into and curled up in a cardboard box on the floor. You are so right. I wanted to attach a photo, but Substack doesn’t allow that, I reckon. Needless to say, I think the thing Allegro likes best about the baby is the sheer amount of cardboard they generate, courtesy of Amazon, Buy-Buy Baby, etc.

Human: Oh God, I've lost my leg. What will I do? My life is changed. My dreams are gone. It will take me years to adapt to being so injured.

Cat: Oh well, what's for dinner?
