They have such different facial expressions :P
I love the tail in the 2nd pic :)
This reminds me of the cartoon trope with the devil and angel over one's shoulders giving opposite advice/encouragement lol
I love the 'cat-selfie' pics and the image collage. My last cat used to enjoy licking the margarine and/or peanut butter off my breakfast toast. These images purrfectly capture a kitty wanting to share your food or beverage
Awww <3

Lovely kitty! Thanks for the tip about the 4 pics - that's easy to miss (that there are multiple pics) on the desktop web UI
I'm really sorry you were put through that. In my experience hospitals are very power hierarchy-centric workplaces and physicians and administrators are very cishet and very privileged, leaving ample room for discrimination. This is probably a pretty stark contrast to the values that led you to pursue nursing.
You were unjustly discriminated against, but you have a good degree. My encouragement would be to try to lick your wounds and find another nursing job. I've heard nurses say that primary care settings are better jobs than hospitals, and public health nursing sounds neat too. If you can get a role in a service dedicated to caring for transpeople, might that be the dream, dream job?
Rooting for you <3
The gang's all here!
It's typically done to prevent a cat from licking a wound
I'm not an expert, but I've often wondered why cats like treats so much, and I did a little searching. I think the main reason is an ingredient called animal digest, which would be represented in the ingredients list under natural flavours.
I believe animal digest is to meat what simple sugar is to complex carbohydrates. Humans really like sweet things, probably because evolutionarily it helped us eat fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and nutrients. Present day, food manufacturers can exploit this through things like corn syrup. Cats can't taste sweet, as far as I know. But like humans like sweet things, cats are really into the umami flavour. It sounds like animal digest is very high in umami flavour and scent, which for evolutionary reasons (finding energy dense foods) is really attractive to them.
