Great advice! One of my concerns are the unknown reactions she will have during such long travel. One of my cats for instance is a screamer during car rides and takes a while to settle down. Will def do the soft carrier and puppy pads and will see if I can get my mom onboard for some introductory leash training to help with the travel.

I've had nationwide pet insurance for about 6-7 years. $250 deductible, then 70% reimbursement, $7500 annual max. I used to pay $33 a cat per month, but it's crept up to $58 a cat. Might be because they're older now (6 & 7 years old), might be because I've used the crap out if the plan. Its still great though. Super easy to submit claims. One dental cleaning early in the year hits the deductible right away. Anything catastrophic and I'll have a little bit of financial relief.
One thing to note, as the other poster had mentioned - best to insure them at a younger age and before any vet diagnosis if possible. Before i had them covered took one cat in when she was 6 months old for some mild URI. Nationwide's underwriters saw that record and considered it a preexisting condition. Under her policy she is uninsurable for any issue involving the sinus cavities. There is no Obamacare when it comes to pet insurance!!
Oof thats really bad. Was there at least pizza?
God's work my friend
I recall seeing free home water testing kits in home depot a while back. Not sure what those kits tested for but they were a means to sell you home filtration systems and plumbing stuff. But they were free. Maybe start there?
That thing looks like a monster. Also - I LOVE black olives on a sando. Its 2am here and my stomach is now going off. Thanks OP.
I will take ghosts and demonic possession over 25% rent increases and shit landlords and shit upstairs/downstairs neighbors.
Anecdotal, but it does appear that the fluent use of profanity is expected in some social/cultural circles. The military would be a prime example. I think as these circles are influenced by younger generations they eventually succumb to the softening of the F-word. From personal experience, there can be a lack of distrust for someone who refrains from swearing. A lack of some use of profanity can come off as someone being sheltered, having a lack of street cred or general social awareness, etc.
Congratulations Void. Well done. Ok you can stop now. Really, you can just stop.
This has aged like the finest of fine wines.
Doing those drives seems like super smart idea. I get to see the cat's ability to handle it, and get them conditioned up. I thought about doing a 2 day layover, stopping in CA or WA, but I'm worried about vet docs originating from Hawaii and then boarding her again. Do you think there'll be any issues with that?
