You’d be surprised how many names a cat can figure out are theirs. I have at least 3 for one of my cats. And any of those 3 will have her running to me if I call. Doesn’t matter which one. Cats are very intelligent. Make up a cute nickname that you like, call kitty that, and your daughter can still call him Earl/Earl Grey/whatever makes her happy. The cat will figure it out and understand.

You need to know your A1C number. The glucose and insulin numbers are snapshots at a given point in time, but the A1C number is a much more meaningful "over time" number. Below 6 is normal, 6 - 6.5 is "prediabetic," and higher than 6.5 is actual diabetes.

After hovering in prediabetic range for years, I topped out at 6.7. "Congratulations, you are now diabetic!" With an uptick in exercise, dietary improvement, and Metformin I'm down to 6.1 and holding.

Accepting, i remember one job i had in a restaurant where i showed up and the owner make me clean out his brother's apartment who was a horder took me 4 days/shifts to do so. Then a few weeks after had to go to cemetery to help put in his brothers headstone.

That being said he was a amazing boss that would bend over backwards to help you out (tv broke on me and i metained it, he just gave me a huge tv for free that night)
