Hurray!!!!!!! I wish I could go back right now!! I’d eat so many more Red Rabbit doughnuts and sample all the Heido Ho & Miyoko cheeze again!! The Bazaar was such fun. Also, y’all’s trailer looks adorbable! We just stayed in the overpriced con hotel, which doesn’t seem nearly as awesome as staying in a vegan lady trailer! Good luck with all your adulty stuff! Adulting sucks. And good luck trying out ginger beer-makin’!

That toona is . . . not really great for anyone of any species, methinks. ;-)

So glad you’re enjoying the recaps!

Alas, my landlord did not have a change of heart. I wish! But thank you for the positive vibes Caitlin. They are very much appreciated!

I understand that they normally will, but eating a processed pea protein is very different than nibbling on cat grass. Not to mention cats who are nibbling on those plants often end up vomiting (even if it is a non-toxic-to-them plant. In fact it is suspected that the reason so many hit the cat grass is to help them vomit up indigestable food!) I know you would never intentionally try to /endanger/ the life of an animal, and giving a cat a one time treat isn’t endangering them. But it can cause upset kitty stomachs… Which is no bueno. Cats nibbling on a plant from time-to-time of their own free will is different then them being offered plant food.

“Basically any meal where guacamole is involved.” Yessssssss!

I know, I love reading all the different perspectives and take-aways! And I’m so sad that it’s over forever. *sigh*

LOVED hearing the podcast though! Ahaha, so fun!

I know, I love that Joanna and I have done that every time! One of my very favorite things about VVC is reconnecting with the people that I only get to see at VVC – like you! What am I going to do now?? It makes me so sad to think of all my VVC family and how we won’t meet up again in another 2 years.

Do you ever come down this way Amey? I’ll definitely look you up next time I’m up north!

I appreciate your more moderate tone, but I do think you misunderstand the definition of obligate carnivore. Cats are required to eat meat — but they are not required to eat *exclusively* meat. Cats naturally eat plant foods all the time (that’s why poisonous house plants are dangerous in homes with cats – because the cats voluntarily eat plants), and it is perfectly fine for cats to eat occasional plant-based food.

I hope it goes without saying that I would never do anything to endanger the life of an animal.

Also, yes breakfast enchiladas! I agree that Mexican/Tex Mex breakfasts are the best. Basically any meal where guacamole is involved . . . ;-)
