i found out about the other thingy because i got an email the other juliette torres had signed up for across the country. checked my local and they use it too. finally misdirected emails good for SOMETHING

ok fortunately, there's some company called covetrus that partners with local vets to be an online store with AutoShip and deals similar to chewy. and the storefront fir my vet has the ocean fish flavor so i guess that's where i'm ordering now

oh for fuck's sake when i went to poke chewy i learned there were 2 Hills flavors, chicken and ocean fish. (I got the k/d in one and the k/d j/d in the other which was maybe not fair testing i might have done more testing but...) The one she liked was ocean fish. chewy's about to stop carrying it. 😭

yeah nvm i don't think i need a run-off

I put everything back down again for the wonder twins to finish off and Miss showed up first and zero'd in on the Hills k/d despite a change in position. Okay clear favorite. I should probably reweigh it when she's done

I should probably run the full test again at least once and then maybe a runoff

ok the runnings include:

Hills k/d-ate 12g test 1, 3g test 2
Vet Life Renal-ate 1g test 1, 3g test 2

meanwhile not touched either time afaict:
Hills k/d j/d
royal canin renal support
control (their current food, blue buffalo k+m)
Forzai10 Renal Active

I think she's freaked out by the closed doors of me blocking the other cats. It would be convenient if I could somehow block her off instead of blocking them off, but she can get out of rooms. on one hand means she's not freaked out by me closing the door on her and leaving her in a room, but otoh.

oh my god cat did you eat a measurable amount? I can't tell if that's you ate one kibble or scale error

based on my previous observations of which she ate the most out of, and that when i opened things up, the crowd definitely started on the left: I put the least one eaten ones on the left and the most on the right

well, she went directly to fave on the right to start and then swerved for the middle

locked the boys at the opposite ends of the house, gave her some privacy, when I went to check on her, she had decided to look at a window.

But I started picking them up to wear them to see if she'd eaten any and that got her interested again so now she's munching

The boys are way too interested maybe that's the problem. She keeps leaving to chase Ceph

she hollered, I refilled all the bowls to rerun the experiment and now she's simply not interested

it's two days later she's like I ate them all. Please refill them.

*mad

ok if i was going to crank the audiobook speed up and listen to the Foundation books so I could properly decide how made i was at the tv series, i should definitely start with Foundation and not the prequels right?

foundation s3 finale:
boooo! "we switched the surprise ending" boooooooooooo

there's a tumblr post about is the juggernaut pairing in fandom "good" or is it the easiest to generically write college AUs about

i'm forced to wonder is Asimov good or just a really decent springboard for AUs

(I've read some Asimov. I've also read a lot of inspired-by-Asimov. so.)

so i haven't read the books but i looked at plot breakdowns to figure out if i would like the books and afaict the tv series has about a 5% resemblance to the books which spouse says is more than the I, Robot movie. Why does this keep happening to Asimov?

continuing to watch s3 of Foundation. Ooopsiedoodle, has Demerzel ever lost a Dawn and a Day simultaneously?

some of the questions i left blank on a med questionnaire:

Are you in good health?
Have there been any changes in your health in the last year?

i simply do not know how to answer succinctly and will talk their ear off in person

The other wonder twin is not so distracted by new food that he will let me sneak up on him and pick him up, but he is so interested he'll come be a pain in the butt

in the time it took me to post the bored photo she's back to sample more

full. bored.

results so far: she tried a few but ate half the hills k/d. completely ignored the royal canin she like before solo.

i have measured and rearranged the circle to see if she'll go back to anything

I had to remove one of the other cats to my spouse's office because the skinniest cat is the one that we want to eat more and who's tastes we will bend to

the great kidney support cat food taste test

she was yelling at me the entire time I was measuring out 25 g carefully into each bowl because she knew that was her food I was messing with

that's a thought hmm

it's such a pity we don't burn wood i would fuckin love to take my feelings out on some logs with an axe rn

oh now i'm not showing enough concern for someone who literally won't talk abt health. how would i know what's wrong with you?

it feels very much as if she doesn't want to see me again but wants to be offended enough she can say it was my fault

i'm so TIRED i can't believe i woke up to this shit
