Great that she is eating something again!

If you keep on cooking, keep an eye on the nutrients. Raw chicken hearts are great for Taurine and Vit B12 - and cats usually love them (don’t do more than a 2 at one go and maybe only twice a week - can also disturb the stomach a bit, while they are getting used to raw meat)

If you go with cooked muscle meat (chicken (all parts, but without bones!), pig (when cooked, raw it can bring some bacteria, minced meat (beef and pig) seems also to be a highlight)

Look into BARF and the supplements needed, if you can’t feed a whole animal.

I’m fighting since 3 months, because my cat wasn’t eating and am cooking for him since.
By now we give him 2 antibiotics and an antiemetic as subcutaneous injection daily. And it seems that finally helps - but we often had stable weeks, so I’ve lost some trust in the good times

Anyway, if you have any questions, I’m happy to answer if I can help

One can at least hope…

Russia still is the largest exporter of asbestos in the world and is still used in large parts of the world

https://www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/worldwide/

Edit: have to add, that I was completely flabbergasted by that, because I thought asbestos was completely illegal like FCKW (sorry, not English native speaker, seems the abbreviation is CFC - the stuff we put into refrigerators before we figured it produces an ozone hole)
Russia mining companies say though, that their asbestos is safe and it’s just western propaganda to keep them out of business)

Correctly it would be ‘Holz’ and not ‘Holtz’
The latter I’ve heard as a family name sometimes. But you’re probably right, that it historically referenced ‘Holz’

Edit: only found a German page about the origins of the name, and yes, it is very probably coming from forest, woodland, wood

We found our cat young and starving, being left alone outside.
But he was used to be outside and just locking him in would be cruel.
He mostly happily hides in a hole or some cellar around, when he is outside anyway.

We tried giving him a safety collar, but he was already like 6 months old, when we found him and wasn’t used to one. So he always got rid of the safety ones and we were too afraid that he should strangulate himself with a non-safety one.
He is chipped. So I hope this is enough, when someone catches him.
But he is very shy with other people and it worked out for 13 years now I’m different areas of the city - sometimes, in his young and wild years, he was gone for 2-3 days, but he always came back happy and hungry :-)

Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean.

Just replace the family with loneliness and the meal with some substance, that makes you feel less shit, and you have the same thing

Just like an alcoholic has the problem, that he can’t just stop after a beer or two.
It’s the same mechanism.

Everything you use to cope with emotions can produce that.
Like nicotine itself isn’t hard to quit - not much of a physical addiction. But as one used cigarettes as little self rewards and uncomfortable situations, you can’t just give up your tool to manage your emotions.

The only way out is to face those emotions and solve the original issue. Else you’ll just be hopping through different “helpers”

Edit: maybe to give an even more extreme example:
Cocaine doesn’t produce any physical addiction, but because it gives you the feeling of being awake and you suddenly can handle the stress, you’ll fell completely lost and alone without it in those situations.
That’s why trigger situations are a thing.

With food, just like cigarettes, it’s even worse, because you use them for good and bad times.
So the association with feeling good is much harder to break.
As we need food, this addiction is probably even worse, because you can’t just stop eating all together and face your emotions. So you’re daily tempted with it.
I personally can’t relate with overeating/“food addiction”, but having spent a month tapering opiate teas (which I used to still be able to work during my burnout), I understand the feeling of constantly looking for an excuse to still do a bit more - just today…
Because this day was especially bad and I desperately need the crutch, or especially nice and I feel like I wanna celebrate it somehow.

As we’re currently fighting for the life of our cat, who always loved to eat grass for years, be aware that eating grass/plants is often a sign of illness - because that want to puke something out or aren’t feeling well.

Because I didn’t reacted early enough, I’ve maybe fucked up. So please keep an eye on that and maybe check for an (bacterial) infection of the stomach

Especially in all forms of stupidity

Yeah, with the same towel you finished your ass last time

But generally, I agree

We feel you :'(
Since 1.5 months we’re fighting for the life of our cat Loki. He usually had 6-6.5kg and only has 4.25kg left because of his gastritis, after surgery of an unrelated eye tumour, when we’re did a gastroscopy.

We tried to give him some stomach protector, which he hated. So I mixed it into his food, which only led to him declining his diet food more and more.
We switched the stomach protector to something more easily eaten and we started cooking for him - every 2h from 5 in the morning until 1 at night (sometimes also at 3, when he had appetite)
Didn’t really help…
So he got daily subcutaneous infusions with antibiotics and after a week or two he was much better and even gained like half a kg.
He was happy, we were jumping in joy.
But exactly after the last control visit at the vet, he declined his food again and 2 days layer he was diagnosed with a pancreatitis.

So he would need to go for 24 hours stationary at the vet with IV infusions.
That didn’t work out, as he wouldn’t hold still without us.
So we went with him and did daily IV infusions for nearly 2 hours a day and he finally got better.

He gained nearly 1kg and we were happy as fuck - him as well, as he was enjoying just being outside again.

Then he started puking again…

So the vet told us, that we need to switch to a specific diet food instead of our low fat cooking.
He surprisingly ate 1-1.5 portions, but after that he declined it again - even with Mirtazapin to give him some appetite.

That was yesterday. So last night he like really proudly showed me his puke, with a face of “look what this new food has done” and we switched back to cooking.

I’m currently at the end of my wisdom and we’re emotionally completely drained.
I’m self employed and haven’t worked for the whole time now, because I can’t focus anyway and with him being miserable I was just a 24 hours nurse. My wife luckily had a vacation now, so she could jump in a bit, so I could catch up with some sleep…

But it’s a daily rollercoaster. Sometimes he has good days and wants to go outside, sometimes he just want to sleep and mostly he cuddles with us.

He is the nicest and bravest cat I’ve ever had and we’ll fight however possible. But have my whole sympathy as we now how shit it is to see your loved cat deteriating and you can’t do much but watch :-(

I actually wanted to add some pictures as tax, but I can’t find an easy easy in comments (in my mobile app) now

At least feel hugged from very understanding other cat owners, currently facing mostly the same dilemma
(By now I could probably fill a book just with the shit that happened in the last month…)

I’m also happily running Manjaro on my new Framework 16.
Even the fingerprint sensor works fine - although I’ll still need to tune LightDM a bit, so I don’t have to press enter.

Do you have any tips what you have done further or any resources?

At first the WiFi wasn’t working and is still a bit unstable - like isn’t available as interface after booting and I need to toggle flight mode.
But it seems a newer kernel (6.10.6-10) mostly fixed it.

Also sometimes coreboot seems to take some time. But only every 10 boots or something.

Ok, I’ll go search for your other comment

Edit: I’m still not sure how the US supporting Israel is making Russia attack Ukraine or how that should be connected - obviously, geopolitical everything is somehow connected, but not causal

Edit 2: I’m absolutely not in favour of US backing Israel (or their fucking imperial capitalism), but do you want to say, that Russia had no other choice or…?
I do know this sounds foolish, but I’m currently really struggling to make sense of what you want to say

I’m really not sure, if I can follow.

How is Israel (absolutely doing a genocide atm - just to have that said) involved with that? What’s the connection?

Maybe I missed something just scrolling through?

Those USB adapters always seem to damage the USB port (or their side of it breaks) when I put the phone in my pocket.
Tried several of them, because I have some expensive headphone pairs. I even tried to use a Bluetooth thingie with a jack, but having a second device to charge wasn’t really convenient as well…

Happens to everyone

Just having a multitude of terminals open with a mix of test environment and (just for comparison) an open connection to the production servers…

We were at a fair/exhibition once and on the first day people working on an actual customer project asked us, if they could compare with our code.
Obviously they flashed the wrong PLC and we were stuck dead at the first hours of the exhibition.
I still think that this place was cursed, as we also had to do multiple re-soldering of some connections of our robot and the sherry on top was the system flash dying - where I had fucked up, because I just finished everything late at night and didn’t made a complete backup of everything.
But it seems, if luck runs out, you lose on all fronts.

At least I was able to restore everything in 20mins. Which must be some kind of record.
But I was shaking so much from the stress, that I couldn’t efficiently type anymore and was lucky to have a colleague to just calmly enter what I told him to and with that we’re able to get the show case up and running again.

Well, at least the beer afterwards tasted like the liquid of the gods

Never touch a running system
Until you have a inviting hole in your system

Nevertheless, I’m panicking every time I update my sever infrastructure…

Link has a “whttps” in there, that shouldn’t be there

Well, luckily all just had a talk and some tea about it and nobody died

I own the apartment and even a parking place, that’s my own. but just doing the cableing will cost me a few thousand Euros.
And I’m one of the lucky ones who don’t need to search through public parking slots.
