    I wonder how much cats remember. We really don't know. Best estimate, Lashanna was born early October 2022, which means she was weaned around Thanksgiving. She was then on her own, a little young kit trying to find food and shelter in a cold wet winter. Not always successfully. She must have been cold, hungry and scared often. By spring she was pregnant, still a kitten herself. No wonder she was malnourished when rescued with her six babies.

    Does she remember? When she spends cold rainy days taking naps and playing with her toys in a warm house, with full bowl and clean box, does some part of her mind recall her hard times?

    I am glad she adopted me so I am cared for.

    I believe they absolutely remember their formative years and learn from them ...she's just lucky she found you because many will feel the cold and have to forage for their entire lives.

    She might be food motivated. Perhaps you upgrade to Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers. It might be a blessing in disguise.

    We have a rescue dog that had a miserable life before us. Every once in a while she has a nightmare where she cries out in heartbreaking agony in her sleep. We've named it her Viet Dog Flashback.

    I've owned 3 Teslas and getting a Rivian in a week. The problem with cold is if you try to fast charge after it sits for hours in deep cold. Also yes loses range when it needs to heat cabin/battery. Also non Tesla chargers really suck.

    In extreme cold if you need fast charging you should do it at the end of your trip when car is warm instead of at the begining when it's cold.

    The biggest problem is lack of quality chargers out there. If there were plenty of reliable fast chargers every 10 miles you could do more short 10 minute charging stops and never have an issue.

    The cold is actually beneficial for when the EV sits as you have almost 0 battery degradation.

    It's weird how many of you didn't know that car batteries go dead in the cold.



    Wait until you find out what really cold temperatures do to motor oil.

    Break in the storm today. Got potatoes planted, last winter lettuce. Started seedlings under grow light. Rooting sage and Lashanna keeps chewing it. Sage won't hurt her but it's a strong herb, not one I would chew. Maybe she wants wisdom.

    Devastating @THE HCP. Our whole family was so sad after seeing him on the news. Beyond comprehension. I don't know how the baby survived and the girl was able to grab her.
