  • I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.

    Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.

    No, they won’t.

    Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.

    Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unbearable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.

    Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.







  • You can ignore this comment, OP. I’m sure you’ve heard all this before and already have practice.

    This is for everyone else.

    A cat can live a perfectly happy life without danger. Do not let them outside without a leash.

    “Outdoor” cats die earlier and are at greater risk of parasites and disease. That is a fact. Most animal shelters include a contractual obligation not to do what OP does in their adoption agreements. Violating this requirement would be considered animal abuse, and grounds for them to take the animal back for re-adoption.

    Transitioning an outdoor cat to indoor life can be difficult, but what OP does is not normal and should not be. No-one should let a pet outside unattended. And most people wouldn’t. But for some reson some people make an exception for cats. And only cats. This is a logical error.

    Animals are either wild or domestic. Not both.

    I’m pretty sure OP wouldn’t let a dog roam free, yet all the same logic for why that is so, applies to cats.

    The needs of a cat that are fulfilled by the outdoors, can be fulfilled indoors. Places to hide, surfaces to scratch, toys to play with, etc. If your cat is miserable indoors, that’s on you, not the nature of the animal.



  • In that case, something is invalidating the login. Are you sure that it is happening due to leaving your LAN, and not just coinciding with that?

    Does restarting the laptop log you out, or temporarily disconnecting from the internet? Could you test by switching to a wifi hotspot on your phone, and switching back, for example?

    The client stores your session token in the OS credentials manager (kwallet for linux kde, for example) and the issue can lie there, as well.








  • Depends.

    Items get sent around all the time. In-network, copies are interchangeable, and the system balances them out among the libraries. AFAIK there’s no particular need for a copy to go back to the same shelf, so it doesn’t happen.

    If no-one is looking for a certain item, it wont move again unless someone asks, or if the library needs space for something else.

    It’s kinda nice. Every time I visit a library it can have an entirely new selection. With recent requests to that location which have been returned again, or just returns, appearing on the shelves.
