My first cat was similar when I first got her. She'd hide under my bed all day, but creep out at night, especially when I was sleeping, to check me out and see if I was safe. She eventually became the most outgoing, friendly cat. Unfortunately, the solution to this might just be more time for her to decompress and adjust. I would try something like a feliway diffuser or calming spray to put on the places she usually hangs out.

Do you genuinely think the government doesn't have any trace of whether or not you have changed your gender marker?

Bureaucracy is kind of their whole thing.

Maybe it's just because I'm in a red state, but I know for a fact my state keeps track of that. I'm probably going to a camp very quickly.

I had to have an incredibly painful procedure (with no pain relief or anesthesia) to determine if I had endometrial cancer. My insurance "covered" it, but I still owe over $2000 for it.

Definitely. Plus, you can absolutely get different CT values from two different testing platforms. Some PCR tests are more hands-on than others and the result can vary based on the quality of processing and on the settings that are used in the analysis software.

A home test won't. A PCR gives you some idea if you can get them to tell you the CT (cycle threshold) value of your test. The CT value corresponds to how many times the temperature cycled before the amplification signal of the sample became detectable. Lower CT values correspond to higher viral loads.

I have a cat that gets a lot of respiratory stuff too. I bought her a cool humidifier and I set it up next to her favorite bed when she's really congested. It seems like it must help, because she'll mostly hang out next to it until her cold passes.

Calicos are always such beautiful cats. She does look done with all your picture-taking shit though.

My cat is always either telling me he wants to go outside unsupervised, or that he wants my food instead of his.
