Dry is really hard on cats’ kidneys because they drink so little water. Wet is a lot better but why not just feed raw? Our two cats are absolutely thriving on raw, a mix of balanced mince and whole prey, which they have been on since they were kittens. Their coats are shiny, their breath doesn’t smell and even their poop smells a lot less bad than the poop of my friends’ cats on who are on commercial dry/wet food.

A lot of info on raw feeding can be found in the Pet Fooled documentary available for free on YouTube. Happy to answer any questions about raw feeding too, good luck!!

“Most cats fed commercial wet diets will still drink some water, but cats fed dry food will drink more as a result of the lower water content in the diet (Villaverde Haro, 2020). However, cats on a dry diet will drink less than the moisture consumed if on a wholly wet diet with a similar nutrient composition (Xu et al, 2014; Villaverde Haro, 2020).” Source: https://www.theveterinarynurse.com/review/article/moisture-matters-a-focus-on-feline-hydration

We have a water fountain going too and they hardly drink any water from there. But why leave it to chance?

I accept trans women as women socially.

But to say womanhood is a just social construct is unbelievably wrong. I mean, I wish it was just a social construct because then I wouldn’t be struggling so much more than a biological man to do a pull up.

There are many biological differences between the genders that are not social constructs— baseline strength, body fat distribution, monthly uncontrollable bleeding etc.

It’s not meant to be disrespectful or discriminatory to trans women, it’s just how things are.

Welcome!! I use wefwef and it’s just like Apollo from the old days https://wefwef.app/ got used to it very quickly! Sadly many communities and users have not migrated, that’s the biggest problem 😔

Wonder how the world population would look like if this was true

It’s like Apollo for Lemmy, I use it too. Sure there are some kinks to be ironed out and UX isn’t as smooth but I’m not going back to Reddit 😞

There’s a group on Facebook called “Feline Diabetes Support Group” that guides cat owners through this difficult journey. Many cats go on to have high qualities of life. Good luck!!

If I were to hazard a guess… long queues at the GP, not knowing if a lady doctor would be the one they see, or if she will judge them for their life choices…

I wouldn’t expect bots like that to not have cameras installed. Don’t know how someone thought they could get away with trying to steal one
