Someone I know was talking about fostering a cat with hiv or aids

I had no idea that was even a thing. I knew monkeys could get it but didn't know any animal could just get it.

Happy 2019 everyone.

Aspy, I’m very happy for you. Don’t take any shite from Ftw. I’m looking for an appropriate present.

I think feline aids is different and can’t be given to humans. I knew someone that adopted one as a barn cat.

no, and it's totally different than human aids...it's quite common in cats, unfortunately.

Well they say monkeys gave AIDS to humans. So I wouldn't trust no AIDSY cat.

Hi everyone...ham on whole wheat, peaches and cottage cheese.

Having some post-hypoglycemic anxiety today. Not sure what caused it, but trying to eat regularly and keep the refined sugar to a minimum. Going to the doc tomorrow to make sure everything is ok.

How's everyone else doing?

NoHo, feel better soon!

Lezkillit, sorry I’m costing you dough. I have a whole new lease on life. I became a grandad 3 months ago today to the sweetest little girl. I feel like a youngster.
