To be fair, they started developing symptoms much later then when we took care of them. But yeah, we had a lot of cats in the years, 90% of them were strays (or in this case, one of them was actually kicked of their house and spent some years outside) that self-tamed over time lol.

We had two stray cats, one was confirmed FIV+, the other not, they didn’t really get any recurring infection, but they both started having the same neurological symptoms: they lost control of their back legs and sphincters, had trouble walking straight and cleaning themselves so we had to do it.
I don’t know if this is a regular outcome of FIV, or if it’s even related at all, but you might want to look for gradual problems with walking and balance. Not much you can do unfortunately, but what I can tell you is they don’t get any less loving, actually, they probably get more. His last days one of the strays went from barely staying close to a human unless being fed, to purr, pets and constant headbutts.
Good luck with your little fella, glad he could find a caring home.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are people like my son's girlfriend so obsessed with jailbreaking?
94·8 months ago- doing things you are not supposed to do is fun
- thinkering with electronics in fun
- we are sacrificing our freedom to megacorporations that continously tell us what to do, what to think, what you can and can’t do with devices we own and enshittify them. Taking back some of that freedom feels good
Totally worth it
That’s one chonky little angel.
I’m guessing it’s fluffier than anything I’ve ever touched.

2·8 months agoThank you for your love. Glad he could warm your week :) he surely made a lot of people happier.
I’m doing ok. Loosing a furry friend is tough, but (unfortunately) I lost many in my years so I can deal with it. The only bad things about pets is that they always leave too soon.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Space was invented by rocket makers to sell more rockets
8·8 months agoSputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define “first rocket in space”, it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Guide - How to buy DDR5 in 2026
11·8 months agoQuite significant in theory, DDR3 maxes out at about 2000 MT/s (mega transfer per seconds) while DDR5 can go above 8000 MT/s, so about 3x-4x. I don’t know if this metric already includes the capability of DDR ram to access multiple data in a clock cycle, but I think it does. If it doesn’t, the difference is even higher.
Of course in practice the difference is not as remarkable, but still noticeable. Still, DDR3 is perfectly usable with a decent processor (light gaming and professional software), my main rig is a 4th generation i7 and I have no intention of upgrading for the foreseeable future.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•2 women who made my life unbearable at my last workplace now greet me like nothing happened. Has this happened to you before?
2·8 months agoYes, it’s normal, or at least it’s not super unusual. People can be the meanest to your face and then pretend that nothing happened. Is it because they are ashamed of themselves? Because they want to pretend that nothing happened and hope you won’t bring it up? Because they want to maintain happearances in front of others? Are they trying to gaslight you? I don’t know, but it did happen to me and to other people I know.

cats@lemmy.world•Tonight I lost my big boy due to a sudden pneumonia :(
37·8 months agoThank you ❤️. He came to our home more than 5 years ago, already adult. He was most likely a house cat that was left on the street for some reason: in realively good health, but a little skinnier, neutered, but not chipped and every human he encountered he would ask for pets, even complete strangers. For some reason he licked and playfully bite like dogs when petting him.
Once we found him in front of the train station, he was just sitting there taking pets from random commuters coming in and out of the station. He was really precious and a bit needy of love, we gave him all we could.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?
3·9 months agoI know, but many people barely know what “supported hardware even mean”, they will see the message " this computer won’t receive any more updates" and simply buy a new one.
Not only that, usually lettinf people out fully and then going is is faster than getting all crammed and sruck trying to enter.
