I'm so sorry for your loss. Take comfort that he knew he was loved and special until the end.

Where about do you live? Indoor-outdoor cat? It could be environmental allergies or chiggers (mites) that live in clusters in some areas of grass or weeds. Chiggers are terribly itchy. A vet can determine if steroids are recommended to help kitty recover or ask them to recommend an appropriate over the counter antihistamine and dosage.

I’m just a lurker in this community.
Housekeeping is like any other profession. With more experience, the worker gets better and more efficient. As a general rule, more skilled individuals get paid more for their “time”. If you like the work she does, perhaps it’s appropriate to switch to a per job rate. Since this is her profession, she may seek consistent pay per week so long as she maintains high standards.

Does she do a good job? Do you want to stick with her? Now that she has worked for you for a few weeks, it may be a good time to sit together and revisit the pay arrangements, job content and schedule expectations in writing. Either of you are free to terminate your arrangement at any time if either feels it is not working out.

EKG was worthless prior to my diagnosed "anxiety" (actually clogged arteries and heart attack). Which blood tests? Cholesterol, vitamin D, iron, white blood cell count? Did they test troponin levels? Elevated troponin indicates heart attack within prior approx 4 hours to 14 days. Symptoms you describe could be due to heart, CVD, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, virus, or other.

I'm glad you got a cardiac referral. Other things a cardiologist may do is ultrasound, echocardiogram of different arteries, BP checks, and possibly holter monitor test. Treadmill or medicine based stress test and even radioactive iodine test might be considered.

Or maybe if there’s a BOGO free offer

I can't believe they pack em like that. Absolutely no care for the product, just throw it into a pile and let the buyer try to figure it out. Jeesh.

We just spent $21 for 2 small hamburgers, 2 med fries, 1 soda, 1 McFrape. CRAZY

Call user support. Looks like you have all the pieces, just needs a little tweak.

We had a little fella who quickly let himself into our house without an invite. Non-neutered male kitten with a ravenous appetite. Too friendly to be feral. I bought a little QR code tag and collar off Amazon for less than $10. Free to register and leave a note to be contacted “Text me if this is your cat…or we will adopt”. Worked like a charm. Found the owner. We still give him extra love when he stops by for a visit.

I'm still on the hunt for some way to tolerate Greek yogurt. Will definitely give this a try

I was expecting a nip pic or embedded tick. Kinda looks like an ingrown hair, but never seen that on a cat.

When I was a little girl, I thought our boy kitty’s trouble puffs was his hiney 😂

Agreed. I almost always think "cat", but this is the one time where "dog bed" is the right answer...to be quickly occupied by...cat

My condolences for your loss. The need for bottle feed fosters is immense. Thank you for stepping up and giving these babies a loving home and person for their short lives. I'm a lurker, and not a foster [yet].

I looked at your pics and was horrified! Glad to read further and find out what it actually is from folks who know HaHa

Your boss is abusive. Verbal abuse from this boss is toxic and horrible. Abusers use these techniques to control people, so that the employee feels unable to leave and lucky to have the bad job thinking "no one else would want to hire me, I'm stupid.". But now you know his trick... He is trying to control you. Each time he tries, tell yourself, "I know your game, and I will not let you destroy me!!!

You are capable of good things. Try to find a new job immediately!

When searching for the new job, you can tell prospective employers "my first job was a tremendous learning opportunity. I learned a lot about myself. I'm looking forward to taking on a new position and making better use of my college skills." Best of luck my friend.

Now you know why the previous homeowners moved .
