My 16 year-old cat Mario. I have had to start a GoFundMe drive to get him evaluated and treated for chronic vomiting. He's been losing weight steadily over a two year period, so the suspicion is a food allergy; thankfully, very unlikely to be cancer or bowel obstruction. But he's not gaining weight and throws up a lot with a now-prescribed steroid. Still, he's in need of a follow-up exam and I cannot afford that right now. He's perky when he gets his meds, so hopefully the follow-up exam will indicate if he needs an increase in his dosage or perhaps a prescription diet or some over-the-counter rabbit- or venison-based food. He's still always hungry, despite the nausea! But right now I'm in a very challenging financial situation and must turn to fund raising to give him some relief. We are very close to accomplishing that. Everyone is broke these days. So please share it if you can't help out. I very much would appreciate it! https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-mario-get-the-care-he-needs/cl/o

Trenta, my two year-old black and white cat battling Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a bladder infection that damaged her kidneys along with the FIP, and anemia caused by kidney damage. Because of lack of sufficient information about treating FIP, as well as strong opinions, many things were missed at first when she was brought to the hospital. We've narrowed it down to the immediate threat (anemia), the hopefully fading threat of the bladder infection, and the crux of the issues, FIP. We need to beat the anemia first. Then FIP treatments, hopefully injections vs less effective oral forms, and hopefully the bladder infection is beat. All the tests, overly cautious treatments thus far, and expenses have wrecked any resources. We are waiting for some grants, but we need help right now, so we are running a Go Fund Me campaign. Please consider donating and please, please share. Thank you. https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57
My black and white two year-old cat, Trenta, peeking out of her carrier after a hard time with oral medications ad forced feeding today. Trenta is battling FIP and a bladder infection. Her kidneys are swollen, she is refusing food, and has a benign intestinal granuloma, likely also due to FIP. She is still interested in checking things out, be it the hallway or the Dreaded Red Dot or new foods. She just won't eat, whicjh is part of her yo-yo-ing between good days and bad. We've exhausted financial resources outside of Go Fund Me in order to get her more tests, vet evaluations, and medications, along with supplies and enticing food for her at-home care. If you wouldn't mind sharing her Go Fund Me link, it will be very helpful and appreciated. https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57

Trenta, a two-year old black and white cat fighting Feline Infectious Peritonitis, a bladder infection, and now severely underweight. She's still going, wanting to play and patrol, just more slowly. Today was the first full day of trying to get prescription supportive food into her and it was kind of rough. She's very, very resistant to oral medications, and doubly so to syringe feedings. I can't blame her. Oddly enough, she is very cooperative when being administered subcutaneous fluids. Here she is sulking under the couch instead of sitting in her little Hobbit hutch by the space heater. Hopefully tomorrow will go more smoothly for the feedings. At least she's had her full compliment of medications and a healthy dose of potassium. If you could please share her Go Fund Me link, it will really help. Her hospitalizations tapped out regular funds. She has more evaluations and tests ahead. We are waiting on the results from yesterday's, but now that a more effective feeding regimen is in place, she will need it all over again. Thank you, here's the link: https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57
A blue jellyfish, the perfect metaphor for Chuck Schumer and the eight Democrats who broke with him to sell us down the river for a pinkie promise with the treacherous GOP. I guess all this pain was for nothing.
Pictured is my black-and-white two year-old cat, Trenta. She is battling kidney distress and an intestinal granuloma from either lymphoma or Feline Infectious Peritonitis. I am giving her at-home care hoping that it is indeed FIP. That includes medications for FIP as well as antibiotics for a bladder infections, antibiotics for her conjunctivitis, anti-nausea medication, an appetite stimulant, potassium supplements, and subcutaneous fluid injections. She's not eating, so I've been adding watered Churru and Tiki Mousse to her oral medications via syringe. To me, she seems to be rallying, re-engaging in some of her routine behaviors, exploring, chasing a laser pointer however briefly, scratching, and walking under my legs, albeit much more slowly. But a week ago she was just getting up out of her carrier to drink water from the fountain. Often she sat for hours in the shower stall. Now she has barely visited it, preferring interaction with me, her sister, and her brother. Tomorrow, 11-11-2025, she has her first post-ER evaluation. It's been seven days. If this lack of eating shows no road to return for her, despite these gains, I may have to consider saying goodbye to her. This evaluation is crucial, and the contributors to her Go Fund Me have made that possible. Her hospitalizations have drained the resources, so it's very, very important. If you would like to please share her Go Fund Me, especially given that she may be still be fighting and receiving her FIP medications, I would appreciate it. She deserves the opportunity to live a fuller life. https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57
My cat Trenta, a very sick black and white two year-old female. She's been looking more alert last night and today. Trenta is suffering from FIP and I am giving her treatment and supportive care at home because the extraordinary high costs of care. Around here, only veterinary emergency hospitals now keep cats overnight or housed for supportive care. Her two trips to the hospital while they performed their endlessly delayed tests wiped out our resources. Our only option has been to turn to Go Fund Me, just to get more medications and basic evaluations (blood tests, urinalysis) at a regular vet. Here is the link if you'd like to help or share: https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57

Trenta, a black and white, two year-old cat fighting for her life. She's being treated for Feline Infectious Peritonitis. Hopefully it's this and not lymphoma; two hospital visits and tests were inconclusive. She's receiving at-home care: fluids, antibiotics, and GS-441524, plus oral nutrition. She showed slight improvement yesterday and today. Thanks to her Go Fund Me, I was able to make her an follow-up evaluation appointment. The initial hospital visits have drained the reserves. So now we are relying on her Go Fund Me to get the re-evaluation, tests, supplies, car trips, and, if necessary, euthenasia. Hopefully she will be home on Tuesday to cause more trouble instead. Please consider sharing her Go Fund Me. It's very effective. https://gofund.me/e6ca70a57

A mangling of Robert J. Oppenheimer's quoting the Bhagavad Gita as a graphic in the style of a Barbie sign (white letters thickly outlined in Barbie pink, upon a Twitter-blue background). The Tesla Motors and former Twitter logos are strewn about. The parody quote is, "Now I am become Elon, the destroyer of brands." This was a comment on the Dunnig Kruger Effect, since "X" was a clumsy reworking of a valuable brand that even had a ubiquitous verb associated with it.
