Blinds are environmental. And it does say that if panting is extended or accompanied by drooling TO SEE A VET.

From Wikipedia:

Perhaps because I left a comment to someone else's comment about how we both see the cat in the video as being distressed, due to visual and audio clues. Why are you being pedantic?

Since both of my cats are pretty old now, I'm pretty sure I know what their individual warning signs are. I'm aware every animal can be different, but yeah, after 13 years I'm pretty damn sure I know my cats' moods, thank you.

She's really only made that face when we've had to move, or when I take her to the vet and she gets all worked up. Aside from that she just makes the "I'm better than you" face most of the time.

That was the first thing I thought. It's not cute, it's a warning sign. If my cat is making that face, I'm usually panicking, not running to grab the camera.

The costume I'm working on right now is a vintage Suffragette costume that I'm going to wear to Dragon*Con, and hopefully get to a Moral Monday Protest ehre in Raleigh with, afterwards. I've got the full skirt, Gibson Girl blouse, vest combo, with a proper hat and gloves and shoes, and the Votes For Women sash with…

Makes me think of this song by Carla Ulbrich, (this video is a cover by Jon Coder) about a Boy Wonder who studies himself into college and the Guiness Book of World Records, and then decides to go back to middle school to try being happy with all his agemates.

Oh, point. It's probably a collector's photo, now that I look at it.

Maybe, though they don't have her wearing clothes in the picture, which I can't decide is more weird or less.

Okay, I do like the heterochromatic eyes. I've always thought they were neat.

Why does the Mexican doll have BOOBS IN HER RIBCAGE?

When I was a kid I used to go to our neighborhood pool all the time. The kids would play Sharks and Minnows and Marco Polo in the deep end, which jutted out to the left of the L shaped pool.

My alarm is set for 10:35 at night. I'd never manage BC without a cell phone alarm. NEVER. I'm going to have hives when I go off the birth control to have a baby next year, cause at 10:35 at night I will be feeling all "wasn't there something I was supposed to do...?"

I shall! I am actually waiting for my brand new serger to show up in the mail any minute now, and then I'm off to buy serger thread and needles! And then I'm going to sew some new pantaloons, and start the husband's vest. The pantaloons are going to be my Teach Myself How Not To Screw Up The Serger Project. The vest…

I do admit to being determined to have my kid next year so I don't trip over the 35 year old high-risk line. Some of those genetic factors are a big fear of mine, though I am healthy and do not have any family history of genetic disease. About the only thing is that I was a premature baby, and no one knows why.

Okay, that pulled my ovaries around in a rage-face. Seriously, you said that?

I alter a lot of my clothes because I'm a 32 HH and I have all those issues, but I'm sewing a lot more than just costumes now, and I am working on a button down that fits me properly. There are a lot of darts, and I've been working on making them both functional and pretty. The catch is that I do best in princess…
