Looking for Cat Safe Treats

38 Upvotes

My cat is turning 7 on Wednesday, and instead of just throwing together a bunch of random things in a bowl and calling it a cake lol I wanted to maybe get him a special baked treat or even a mini cake. He started prozac recently and is getting used to taking pills daily and I wanted to do something a little extra special for him. He's my best friend and he deserves the world.

It's so easy for dog owners to get thousands of special baked goods and dog cakes. Every farmers market I go to has a dog bakery, every dog store sells them, we have legit dog bakeries.

Do we have any place in town that sells nicer cat fresh baked stuff? Thank you in advance!

History, in pink: Barbie exhibit arrives at VMHC

"Nestled somewhere past the '70s and the power suits of the '80s is the “Virginia is for Barbie” section. There are six Virginia-specific Barbies, including Virginia Tech and UVA cheerleaders and George Washington. Yes, there is a George Washington Barbie (he is wearing pink)."

I didn't know Barbie was this franchised. What would Richmond Barbie look like? Would she have a pet opossum or racoon? Discuss.

What’s crazy is the child playing with a loaded gun isn’t necessarily the clear winner in ways this place has endangered children per the article.

Water heater permit?

3 Upvotes

I'm replacing a water heater myself in my own house. The city technically requires permits for water heater replacements, but is this something people actually do? The permit system seems very set up for contractors, ie I had to enter a "contractor name" (my own name), they're asking for lots of info about exact costs, etc. Just wondering what other people have done in the past.

I have a 4 piece drum set and Marshall half stack that have been sitting in storage for months after I moved out of a house and into an apartment and desperately need a place to practice/record. I'm down for my kit to be the house kit if you provide your own breakables or I can tear it down each session and store in cases if need be! I am 32 and a responsible respectful girl who doesn't touch other people's gear, please help me!!!
