This show has quickly become my favorite hour of TV. The creators aim for fresh, smart, and charming and hit their mark every week.

It's visually gorgeous, too. Their cinematography has managed to make an NYC setting fit with USA's look as the "blue skies network." Shooting from intriguing angles, finding the perfect location, using beautiful over-saturated colors and just blowing me away with the pretty. I have very little to say about this show because it makes me happy full stop and there's only so many ways I can express my flailing joy textually. However, I think I could picspam it MADLY and enjoy every glorious frame.

Now that I've told you how little I have to say, lemme prove myself wrong behind the cut...

oday I went to the local Animal Welfare League. It's been 3 months since Kali passed away and while I still miss her terribly I felt it was time for a new cat. Well I looked at all the cats and kittens and there were some nice ones, but I wasn't sure. But then I found out that there were more available in a second row behind, so I went there to have a look. In one of the enclosures was a little 19 week old black and white male, who was very friendly, right up at the wire and wanting a pat. So I thought 'he's cute' and went in there to visit. I picked him up to see how he'd react, and he cuddled into my arms and started to purr.

This is exactly what Kali did 19 years ago. I couldn't help it, I just burst into tears. My sister was with me, and didn't understand why I was crying, but when I explained it she understood immediately.

To cut a long story short that little fellow has come home with me. He has been my flatmate for 6 hours, and so far I have discovered he is a chair thief and a bed hog, and the most sooky, purry, adorable little guy ever! He hasn't eaten or drunk yet, or used the litter tray, so I'm hoping he'll do that soon, but he's certainly relaxed enough to do a lot of snoozing, and was quite calm and relaxed from the moment he arrived (though he wasn't too keen on the car ride) so I'm really happy at the moment. As soon as I can get some decent photos I'll post them.

He's yet to be named - this may take me some time. I think Kali was 'kitty' for about a month before I named her!

Thanks to those who responded to my last post. Poor Jubjub died earlier this evening, just after he looked like he was starting to improve. I'll miss him and his kisses and his goofy dancing very much. He was my first bird and my special buddy. His best budgie-friend Frumi will miss him too. Luckily, Frumi isn't showing symptoms of the disease yet, so we caught it in time for him.

I don't post here often, but I made an intro post a while back; this might sound odd, but does anyone else get incredibly oversenstive hearing? I feel like my thoughts are screaming and all the sounds right now are echoing. It's freaking me out; is this a symptom of paranoa? Can I treat it?

Due to a horrific change in my career situation, I need to make some adjustments to the food im feeding my 3 babies.

I need something cheaper than WELLNESS Core, which is what I currently feed them, that is still a decent food until this situation passes.

As you all know, the Wellness aint cheap and a bag doesn't go far when you've got 3 mouths to feed.

I unfortunately wont be able to afford it for the next couple weeks =(

Suggestions?

Thank you in advance kitty ladies...=(

Hey everyone :)

im new, so i thought i would post a little about myself. I am 20 years old, i was first diagnosed with GAD/depression when i was 13 years old. Later on i was also diagnosed with OCD and ADD. I have been on a few meds, mostly prozac, but also adderall, concerta, wellbutrin, lexapro, xanex and ativan. nothing really worked for me except the adderall & prozac though.

Anyway, for the last 6 months or so i havent been on any medicines and i have been having severe aniexty problems. I never really had bad panic attacks, but the last few months they were getting worse and more frequent.

i was enrolled in school but had to take a leave (which i am still on) because i started getting such aniexty in the morning before going i couldnt even enter the school. I have problems doing things alone lately, like going into stores or basically doing anything i need to do. it was getting out of control i basically have done nothing productive in the last 6 months so i fianlly went to a psychiatrist and she prescribed me lamotrigine, which i start taking tomorrow. the dose is 25 mg.

Since i was young i have struggled with my weight as well. this is one of the main reasons i have such aneixty about going out in public. When i was in 8th grade i lost a lot a weight and started getting sort of obsessive about my weight and when i would eat i would throw up, and since then my weight has been up and down. right now i am at the highest i ever weighed and i have basically lost all self esteem. I am making it a goal to lose weight though and not just 'diet' but make sort of a life style change.

another reason i have been kind of depressed lately is because when i was 18 i was dating someone who was so amazing, he was my best friend. he treated me better than anyone had ever treated me and besides my mom he was and still is the only person i ever trusted like that. but one night we had a fight and i left him and he od'd on pain killers (he never did drugs, he was just prescribed them the day before for an injury he got at work) and that changed everything. we continued dating for a few months after that but it wasnt the same because his family got involved and sort of blamed me, & he sort of changed after that, and i havent spoken to him in a year. i was doing okay for a while but latey everything sort of rushed back to me and i have just felt pretty shitty, guilty and confused about it all.

anyway, sorry this got long. just telling you a little about my history with all this. and if anybody has any advice about getting over my panic or if you have had any good experience with lamotrigine i would love to hear about it!

 Hello

I am a 21-year-old female who just started Effexor XR. I have suffered from depression since I was 11 or 12. It runs in the family. (history of depression, alcoholism, and suicide on both sides of my family, how nice).  I was on and off meds in high school (prozac, paxil, zoloft, trazodone), but never took anything very long term. I hadn't taken anything in over 2 years, then I took Wellbutrin for one day in April, but the dumbass psychiatrist started me at 300mg and I felt horrible and manic so I never took it again. My depression has only seemed to continue to worsen, so I'm attempting meds again as a last resort.  My family practice doctor just put me on 37.5mg of Effexor and i'm going to keep going up every week or so I guess. I'm extremely concerned about the weight gain I've been reading about online. Has anyone experienced weight gain with Effexor? Obviously I want to feel better, but if I gain 15lbs I will absolutely hate myself. I'm extremely weight conscious and terrified of gaining weight. Any advice? Please share any experience you have with Effexor. Thanks so much!


(I've been on it for 4 days now and have had very minimal side effects. I'm a little bit tired and out of it, but other than that nothing horrible. My appetite seems a little less.)

Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

Please excuse two posts in one evening, but, I felt only other cat people would understand.

Some people go bar hopping, me and my BF went and got a new kitty bed. and scratching post. and food. and toys.

I know you guys are with me on this. How much would you say you spend on your pets in a month (just curious, if you don't care to say tell me what you buy!).

Any stories about Cat Fancy style Friday nights get two thumbs up.




Kitty says "licking the kitchen table is my favorite hobby! F those new toys!"
She does this a lot, why, I have no clue.

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in here in a while. I finally have my internet back, so I had a chance to upload all my pictures from this summer. Here are some of my baby boy Marley & my parent's Maine Coon cats. Enjoy!

( cat + water = ....? )

It was a good episode. Specifically, a good Mentalist episode, which requires a strong dose of humor+darkness tonal mindfuck. It had that in spades. Forty-two minutes of LULz and simultaneous repulsion.

hey all! i know, i haven't posted in forever, but life is hectic. my now walking 14 month old daughter is into EVERYTHING! and wedding plans are crazy. plus the baby. anyways. my cat jesse is doing well. some of you may remember he was sick a short time ago. but i recently started using litter with him. for years my mom used news paper cuz she hated litter, but now that he lives with me and she's gone i want to use litter cuz it's sooo much easier and less smelly. so i think im going to kind of treat him like a kitten, you know take him to the box every so often. i showed it to him and he was kind of like wth? but i think he'll adjust easy. still, any suggestions?

Wow, I've been slacking off again! Quite a number of photos to share, but first.....GUESS WHO GOT ADOPTED ON WEDNESDAY!?
