I won’t be here for a while

because for the last three days I haven’t eaten anything, and in those three days I slept maybe 5 hours in total. when I stand on my feet it turns black and I have to crouch.

my Cat died during those three days in great agony.
I was with her the whole time, I can’t describe to you what it’s like when you hear her fast and shallow breathing “phphphphphphphphphph”…all night long.
She couldn’t eat or drink anymore, not even by force through a syringe (nothing passes),
Her organs started to fail…
at one point we both looked into each other’s eyes, Her eyes were full of pain, She wanted to greet me and yawned a little but couldn’t make a sound…at that moment it was as if someone stuck a knife in my heart…
there is no worse feeling than the feeling of helplessness.

this morning at 5 am I was digging a grave…
She was with me day and night for 22 years
She was a big part of my soul, She was a person…
I’m crying, I’m broken, a big part of me is missing…

I have Windows 98 & 2k for Dummies. I found Windows 11 “handbook” at Barnes and Noble along with a Hacking in Raspberry Pi magazine.

I also have a ~1,000 page MySQL Documentation book from 2003. It’s surprising how little SQL has changed.

I have a 2004 SQL book (You beat me by a year), and pocket CSS guide.

The pain of watching a cat suffer is unbearable. I cannot imagine how horrid your cat’s death might be to you.

The most suffering I have seen is 1) a sick cat when I was little and 2) a cat suffering with bronchitis, struggling to breathe. You could hear her nose being clogged every time she took a breath, wheezing all the time and coughing every so often. It was miserable and disrupted all of our conversations (lol), but nonetheless she persisted (and then died because she crawled into a car and fell out when it was driving).

To see that cat… lose the fight… is just as bad as watching a family member or loved one have the same horrid accident.

However, don’t make yourself sick by mourning. That’s not what it is for, and your cat probably wouldn’t want you to be that way either. Still, I feel it and I hope that you may heal after a healthy mourning session.

22 years is a long life for a cat, and I hope you cherish your memories. :slight_smile:
All the wishes, and God bless.

(Happy belated 4th, guys. I didn’t have internet at the apartment my grandparents live at and didn’t go to the shop where I am typing this now)

Admin, I need to send me a URL that does not have CAPCHA on it to login to the forum. I am trying to do my moderation work on my watch but it won’t let me login.

Thanks

Maybe Apple watch’s does NOT support Capcha.

Im on smartphone

Why on earth would you want to check the forum on a watch???

And using a captcha is a hard requirement. Any login form without a captcha would get brute forced so hard it crashes the servers.

If ReCaptcha is too problematic, a different captcha solution could be an option (I’ve been considering to switch over to hCaptcha), but some captcha is required.
