I also follow my cat while asking questions! It's almost always food, water, catnip or litter. Regarding the water: he won't drink chlorinated water. In his previous home, he developed urinary stones because they didn't figur

This article reminds me of a saying, along the lines of "the mission of any organization eventually becomes self-proliferation". No matter how noble the original mission, it devolves into selfish pursuits. I can't find the ac

Addiction is addiction. Find a therapist and get help. You don't need to figure this all out yourself. I went to rehab and it was very good for me. I wouldn't still be here without it.
