Or fantasies of being judge, jury, and executioner.

Just lovely. It appears to be a Bengal. They are beautiful and entertaining cats!

The Jacobson's response! I love it when they do that.

Ruby Hypocalcemia. Sounds a bit pretentious.

What a shame your mother missed her opportunity to experience it

Agreed. On a sad note, when puppies come in to a veterinarian for tail cropping and dewclaw removal procedures they are not anesthetized. While it's done in a sterile, more safe way, it's still torture. The puppies scream. I hate being in the building for those appointments. Ear and tail cropping, declawing, de-barking, and all physical modifications for nonmedical reasons should be outlawed everywhere.

I work in veterinary medicine, and it's alarming how many calls we get like this. Just last night a potential new client called saying their breeder told them Ragdoll cats can't get the rabies vaccine without later developing cancer. The client point-blank told us the breeder was more knowledgeable than our doctors. What do you even say that wouldn't get you fired?

That makes a lot of sense to me given my personal experiences. Reading this thread is interesting. I've never heard the idea that you can't read in dreams. The last couple of months I've been having dreams where I'm doomscrolling headlines on an app, and I'm actively reading the headlines to myself. But since I'm doomscrolling , I notice them and move on. I'm aware of when I'm dreaming, so sometimes I'll laugh to myself and my partner about the stuff my sleep- psyche comes up with. I don't know if this is a recent development, but I can't remember ever trying to read something in a dream and being frustrated that I can't.

I have a number of problems that result in unusual and unhealthy sleep patterns, so that probably contributes to odd dream experiences.

"And the behaviour of the cat was somewhat peculiar. It was soon noticed that when there was work to be done the cat could never be found. She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at meal-times, or in the evening after work was over, as though nothing had happened. But she always made such excellent excuses , and purred so affectionately , that it was impossible not to believe in her good intentions."
