Thanks for the link. I did know about the issues with butterbur and the kind I have been buying has the PAs taken out of it. My personal experience is that it works for me, but just like @Enkita said, consult your GP first.

Kitty purrs are always good!

Has anyone recorded a cat’s purr, put it on a chip, and put it into a pillow?

Oh Kickstarter idea!!
But you would want to have the vibration as well. Hmm

Look, what people do with it after they buy it is their business.

I am never going to be able to work a regular office job again. They would have to provide some really specific perks.
I’m not looking for a different way to make a living, just stating that lap kitties are a necessity for me.
Manny has been my coworker for most of his life, actually. He doesn’t carry his own weight, or pay his own bills, but he does kill his own mice.
And he is a top notch Chief Morale Officer, except when he wants to sleep on the printer.

Oh good, I’m not alone in this! Agatha usually either curls up in my lap while I work or hangs out in the cat tower overseeing the work process. I started working from the laptop at our kitchen table so she had more options and could watch the birds and squirrels.
If we’re up in the office, she tends to hang out on my partner’s filing cabinet.
The boys tend to wander in and out, especially around lunch time, but Agatha’s pretty much my office manager.

Agatha is very pretty and her face markings are elegant! But that filing cabinet position is derpy and cute.

We have 5 cats. We were at 4, and thought that’s a good number, but then George showed up, and fit right in. I couldn’t say no. Plus he was already fixed.
Then a couple of weeks ago, this guy showed up:
He is sweet, but pretty young, and not fixed. We have rules about cats with testicles, they stay outside. Cats who come inside are fixed.
I posted a found cat ad on craigslist, and someone contacted me. His daughter’s cat ran away last summer, but she thought this might be him. That’s a long time, but you never know, right?
They came by today to see if it was their guy. She said yes, right away, but the dad was skeptical. The kitty was happy to be petted by them, and picked up by both of them. They took him, with the promise that if it didn’t work out he could come back here.
When I was her age, my cat was a lifeline in (what I didn’t know at the time was) depression. She smiled so wide, holding him. I had already decided that if they would give him a good home, I would let him go. I even gave them a bag of kibble so he could have something to eat when they got home.
I’m sad, and I’ll miss the little dude. But, if he found a loving home and family, then it works out for the best. The dad was nice, and had a really mellow and kind vibe. But, my strongest hopes are that the cat and the girl are happy.

Mr Fwuff is recovering nicely from his adventure; packing the weight back on and signs of trauma in his behavior are fading. He even seems to be returning to his old self before we got Miss Fwiff, who was initially less welcome than we were hoping.

The Derpasaurus does not approve of having his picture taken.
But I took one anyway.

Is Derpasaurus his actual name? Or is it an honorific?
He’s wonderful, but the siamese / crosseyed thing is seriously derpy. Cutely hilarious.

It’s his nickname. He’s about as graceful as your average seal point (not him, but boy did I do a double take the first time I saw it):

Before I was born, my parents had a genuinely cross-eyed cat. One day he went missing, but it wasn’t long after that the shelter called. No tags or tattoos (and this was coughbefore the era of microchips cough), but the lady was sure they had the cat. “I knew,” she said “when he tried to jump on the couch and missed.”
Since we’re doing pictures, now: not long ago this tree was reviled as being all wrong. Funny how things change.

Having seen a cat hunt, I am horrified and fascinated. I guess I’ll be skipping wings tonight.
(He ate everything except the wings)
