Rani Malik wrote some of the flagship 90s songs. Rarely gets mentioned in popular 90s discourse. Glad that she is finally getting her due.

There is water available 24 hrs to drink. But Circle Inspector Mykah has separate demands. Meowing at bathroom door to get a mug of FRESH water from the tap. Again please tell me why I have cats. 😒

My therapist once told me to do something strange. He said, "Write everything down as if you're dying in 30 minutes." I laughed and said, "What? That's not true..." But before I could finish, he shouted, "Are you out of your mind? I said you're dying. Write it down!" His tone changed everything. I wanted to ask questions, but he yelled again, "Why are you wasting time on me? You have 29 minutes and 30 seconds left." So I picked up my pen and started writing. At first, I didn't know what to say. Then I wrote to my parents, my friend, my siblings. I wrote everything I never said out loud. It was like all feelings came out at once. When the 30 minutes were over my therapist told me to stop. "Rest for fifteen minutes and then I'll tell you something." I sat there breathing hard, eyes wet and totally uncontrollable heart beat. mind racing. He gave me a glass of water and said, "Now read what you wrote." I read it slowly. Every word was full of love, regret, and things left unsaid. He then asked, "Why didn't you write to your boss? Or your exes? Or the people you complain about?" I said, "Why would I write to them?" He smiled and said, "Exactly. If they don't matter in your last moments, why do they matter so much now?" Author unknown (shared from Facebook group)

This paragraph by C.S. Lewis, written in 1952, still hits hard: “We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.”

Reminds me of my favorite line I ever heard in an AA meeting: You can’t think your way into right action. You can only act your way into right thinking.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.”

I’m in love with this sentence: “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.”

I do not know how to explain this, but as a cat parent, you quickly learn that “absence of cat (chill)” and “absence of cat (suspicious)” are two very different kinds of silence.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Japanese researchers just moved a cat kidney disease drug toward regulatory approval, after 25 years of work. Chronic kidney disease is one of the biggest killers of cats. This is an injectable treatment built around a protein called AIM, discovered by Dr. Toru Miyazaki. If it reaches the market, the lead researcher says cats could live close to 30 years, double the current average of around 15. Hang in there, old cats.

Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have. Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left. The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out. Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027. The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats. The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.
