It looks like Babe, our younger cat, may be dying of liver disease. She is eating very little and is less than half her normal weight, but she is still strong enough to fight like a fury if we try to give her the pills that would help her. She's stopped grooming herself. She moves around and grumbles and is in discomfort but we can't do much to help.

Please don't suggest ways of getting pills down a kamakazi cat -- we've tried them all.

So sorry to hear about your cat. May she continue to fight you for as long as possible.

Read and understood.

I'm so sorry.

I'm discovering more levels of introvert hell, having been forcibly moved from a suburban to a city office -- there are so many people between the train station and the office, and then we are in open f'ing plan, so there are always people in my space. Weirdly, the train doesn't bother me at anything like the same level, possibly because the people aren't moving and triggering my flight response.

I'm taking part in my political party riding association's annual general meeting this afternoon. It feels like something I can do that might be useful for the medium to long term.
