“She” is a scamming “e-commerce” site. Absolutely nothing ordered will show up looking like the photos, if it shows up at all.

(2/2) My first alert buttons: there are 2 different menu buttons for “Contact Us”, both have different versions of a similar page, forgotten template? Free shipping in USA. Another page mentions free shipping to Australia. “All orders ship from our Asia warehouse.” Really? boutique drop ships?

It took me a minute with the photo … oh look at those weird triangles of glass..?.??? And then “what does that tape say!?” But I went to the page thinking I’d see what was going on. Yeah at least part of the scam is to get “purchases” through what is a decent attempt at an e-commerce site. (1/2)

This is madness. It’s terrifying how quickly he’s destroying lives. People will die from this if left unchecked.

CareMark finally approved continuing a medication I have taken for a year. 7 weeks, 10 medical professionals, 2 denials, 8 cancellations, 1 external appeal. 2 letters, 13 months medical records, 3 pages narrative health history, hours of calls, faxes…. And… Pharmacy is out of stock. 😖🤬🤯😤 #cvs

I have an #ipsy subscription but I can’t figure out “shipping”. I got a shipping notification yesterday. Tracking number didn’t work “yet”. At 10:30 pm, a knock at my door. A guy with a pickup truck and no uniform hands me the box that had just shipped. Same thing in December. WTF is it?

If I give Zella too many treats, she gets a very bad litter box reaction that causes us all agony. We know this, yet it can be hard to resist her begging. She also tries to take them from her sister- who has a cast iron belly and could eat the whole bucket - no problem. Life is unfair sometimes.

I had to spend a year on a wait list to get put on a call list to get scheduled 6 months out for my first appointment with my POTS specialist. She then scheduled me for a bunch of tests. The main one was another 6 month wait. Yay America!

Very well said! My first tuxedo boy, Max, loved his pyramid bed. We kept it on the shelf over the stairs. He slept there for afternoon naps. It was his “loft room”. I don’t have a photo unfortunately! But your photo reminded me of him! 😍

Agatha agrees! You should too, or be sorry…..?

This explains why I keep postponing the housekeeper. My house has too many moody layers to be properly cleaned right now. At this point it might need some sort of exorcism.

As a relocated Texan, I concur. I can hear them now … “But who are your PEOPLE, honey?” And “You ain’t from ‘round here, is ya?!” I say this with love and full confidence … if they don’t know “your people” and/or you’re not from there, nobody will care what you say. It’s immediately suspicious.

There’s a huge warehouse of free books in Baltimore. They stamp each one FREE. I see them in little libraries all the time, and hope it stops people from selling/buying them! Might be something to consider for your area. Check out BookThing.org if you’re ever in Baltimore!

On this day in 2021… I was showing my cat, Jack, a first photo of a kitten available for adoption. She and her sister moved in on 1/20. A week later they were all obsessed with each other. Jack was an excellent big brother. #catsofbluesky

Black and white cat sits looking at a laptop computer. On the screen is a tiny black kitten on the arm of a gray couch. This was Jack’s first look at his new sister, Agatha.

Two kittens, one gray and one black, embrace on a pile of books. The gray kitten is holding the black kitten in a hug or maybe a wrestling pose.

Zella and Agatha in their first week home. Zella made it clear that she was the big sister though they are the same age.

Three cats on a bed. The adult tuxedo cat, Jack, is looking fondly at the two kittens, one black and one gray, leaning against him. The kittens are looking at each other.

This was the second week for Zella and Agatha in their new home. Jack loved them immediately.

Three cats are sitting on a green and gold rug with an iPad in the center of them. The gray and black kittens sit slightly closer and are playing a game on the iPad called Cats Paint. The screen shows splotches of colors, blues and purple, and a rainbow colored drawing of a mouse is in the middle.

The tuxedo cat is watching but has not yet played the game. He is learning how from the kittens.

@whiskerlitterrobot.bsky.social We love our Litter Robot 4, but my cats are sisters and are about the same size. The one on the right is Zella and she has health issues so I need to know her patterns. The one on the left, Agatha, is usually who you say is in the box. Let’s rework that algo!

Two cats of similar size sitting on a windowsill. They are looking out the window at the birds in a tree. These cats are sisters.

Litter robot has a fancy algorithm to keep track of which cat is using it. It’s useless if your cats are the same size. Mine are sisters and similar sizes. It tried to say only one cat was using it. Yeah, no…. Rework that logic. Add a camera and I will tell you who it is! Or read the microchip!

Photo is from the litter robot app:

How SmartScale® Works

SmartScale® uses an advanced cluster algorithm to determine which cat is using Litter-Robot.

After onboarding your Litter-Robot 4 and creating pet profiles for your cats, SmartScale® will automatically begin analyzing individual weight data to display in your dashboard.

You will be able to see when each cat used the Litter-Robot, as well as track their daily weight with separate charts.

Please note: SmartScale® will automatically disable if your Litter-Robot is not on a flat surface (such as carpet), or if two or more cats share an almost identical weight.

Text box added by poster to say, “Why not just add a camera?”

Button says “Got it!”

Agatha taking a short break from yelling “Maaaa!!! The kibble!!!” She’s given meat 2x a day but PREFERS “crunchies”. Her sister Zella loves everything, so we use microchip feeders. I now ask her to “try a few bites please!” before I cave and serve the kibble. I am well trained. #catsofbluesky

Black cat faces her food bowl but looks over her shoulder, forlornly, with expectation and disdain for not yet being offered her lunchtime “crunchies”. Note that she has already eaten the breakfast crunchies and her canned food sits ignored in the bowl.

Her sister’s feed bowl is completely empty.

There was a quite ridiculous and patently false lesson in obstetrics making the rounds yesterday. We don’t know what he knows, but he’s been happily sharing how much he doesn’t know.

Seriously. This is my “lived in a storm drain until someone realized I’m a king” cat. We named him Bill because he had a random cough and drooled a lot, but also he was clearly an old man in a cat body. I called this his presidential portrait. #catsofbluesky

Gray and white cat with blue collar poses regally in front of green elephant ears plant. His large white whiskers and piercing green eyes, along with his tiny mustache, highlight the presenc that is clearly a wise and knowledgeable old man trapped in a cat body.

Bill was approx. 1 year when rescued from a storm drain. He lived with us for 16 years before the myriad old man chronic diseases, arthritis, neuropathy, and recurrent illnesses of his fragile digestive system became too much to bear. He assumed his permanent throne in 2019 and left big paw prints to fill.

That’s the ratio my nurse practitioner recommends for muscle and nerve pain. I see her at a “real” clinic for a nerve disorder but she’s also a cannabis practitioner. Best of both worlds.

My girls love it when I put treats in with their food. I think it’s the cat equivalent of a random curly fry or onion ring appearing in the plain french fry order.

I had a live-in tuxedo-wearing massage therapist. Every evening he would work on my shoulders and at night he would wrap himself around my head, rest his chin on my forehead, and purr me to sleep. Jack was the best friend a girl could have for 17 years. #catsofbluesky

Agatha wanted to be under the covers this morning. I suspect she was sharing her strategy for self-care in 2025…. “Pull the cozy blanket over your head and hide.” #catsofbluesky #2025strategy #blanket

Ah, so you are the reason there’s a lamb roast in my fridge. Husband said something about a recipe he got but I didn’t press. Can you also suggest a new idea called “Flowers for Thursdays”? Because January is bleak and this one has little hope for brighter days.

Why restrict yourself like that!? It will only lead to a binge where you have to buy a stationery store! Buy the notebooks! Stickers! Sticky notes! Page markers! Pen holders! Multiple colors of your favorite pens! Life is short and trying to decide which one to use will make it feel longer!

SummertimeCollective @stcollective.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

I’m firmly in the “a new journal or 12 will be just the thing!!” Embrace your bliss! Get the fancy stickers and the perfect pen and put on some mood music while you light the new candle that will make your year better. This year needs all the help it can get!

This series of epic photos of Agatha are brought to you by the incredible and amazing phenomenon of my opening a can of seltzer water in her presence. I must now hold the can until it is empty because she has only one goal… knock it over to release the !!!Bubbles!!! #catsofbluesky

Years ago my tuxedo boy would not eat at the vet until they hand fed him. I told them he didn’t like to eat out of bowls and used plates at home. When food was presented on a plate, he scarfed it down. They might need to try differet techniques. Hope this gets easier!
