Alas.. destined to rule from afar

They are so beautiful. Is she out there with them now or not yet?

Those are amazing!

Did you try rebooting it *snerk*

Sir, those are metronomes

So.. mom has to be red, tortie or calico and either be or carry dilute. Dad would have to be or carry dilute. If any of the reds are girls, dad would be red. If any of the blues are girls, mom will not be red, but could be tortie or calico. Any white? Would mean at least 1 parent is bicolor

Also not what I saiid. Sounds like you have a major reading comprehension problem. You really do need to go back and look up eugenics and really understand what the intent is behind it.

Where are you even going with any of this. You’re not even presenting any argument to support yourself, just making personal attacks on me. Embarrassing, really.

Stating that if you engage in unhealthy behaviors, you will become unhealthy isn’t eugenics. It’s common sense. If I smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a week, is it unreasonable to expect my changes of lung cancer will go up dramatically? That’s not eugenics.

Then you would 100% know eugenics had nothing to do with what I said. People who are into eugenics believe that the weak and ill should perish and that’s just nature. That’s not what I said and not what I believe.

Not a valid argument. does nothing to support your assertions

Really, I’ve not ever once had that happen to me, never happened to anyone in my family or circle. They usually just reach for the pad first..

Also please look up and understand what eugenics are a before you throw it around

Please tell me exactly what I have said is false. Please cite something I have said specifically and give a solid argument rather than just spitting in my direction. I’ll wait

Who said anything about moral failings? What are you smoking?
Please tell me you understand that if you sit all day and eat chips and soda and ice cream, your health will deteriorate.
Maybe that’s asking too much..

One area, as an example is hormone replacement. Some of the original hormone replacement drugs were derived from animals, but they cannot patent as-is, so it must be chemically modified before if can be patented as a drug and sold as such.

Anything that comes directly from a plant or animal, as is, cannot be patented by law. Any drug they want to sell that is based on something that exists in nature, they have to modify in order to get about this restriction.

We’ve created a culture where people believe that disease happens to them out of the blue instead of being the outcome of poor choices. People expect to go to a doctor and get a pill and go back to potato chips on the couch.

And you make my point here perfectly- people aren’t even told about making lifestyle changes as an option. You are right that it is very hard to get people to change, but we aren’t even giving people the dignity of allowing them to make educated decisions. They simply aren’t told.

I feel like you missed my point. I’m saying that studies done that are done that are funded by corporations tend to be focused on where they can potentially profit. Compounds that can’t be patented tend to be disregarded.
I never claimed that every drug was about price gouging people.

I’ll bite. Because studies done backed by corporations become about developing products that can be profited from instead of finding cures. Because corporations sponsoring educational programs become about pushing prescriptions vs making lifestyle changes. Because we have zero focus on prevention.

Awww!

That sounds decidedly un-zen

OMG!!!

You’re missing out on potentially wonderful cats that are healthy and safe around other cats. I have never feared transmission and we’ve never experienced it. Toby loves kittens and kittens love Toby.

Guys, if you’re looking to adopt, don’t even worry about FIV in your consideration. Here’s my boy, Toby, who is FIV+ and is now 16 and going strong. He is healthy and strong and has been a phenomenal nanny cat as we help raise kittens and he loves to care for them. Never had another FIV case turn up

This right here is the biggest challenge trying to get a sick cat to eat or trying to slip meds to a sick cat.. churu is a great tool, but if you have other cats, it’s frustrating trying to play keep away and the sick cat is just massively turned off having everyone in his face

Can you put some carriers in the room (as a permanent fixture) and lure the boys into it with churus and give Joe some private time?

Super nice people!
