Give it some treats, take it for a nice walk, turn up the heat and then put on one of those BBC wildlife specials about how domestic cats are really wild animals.

She is very attached to my wife, so when my wife isn't home she gets mopey.

Charlee hates the rain and refuses to walk when its raining, so have to take advantage when the rain stops a bit on rainy days, can't blame her she is so low to the ground her belly and chest get soaked, plus the breed like warm and dry, rain isn't their thing.

I just checked the security cameras and in the same bar 25 years later the gates of hell have opened.

Article explains things fairly well about the disability tax credit, it becomes annoying at times when people assume oh someone is disabled so they get the tax credit and can have an RDSP and other benefits, but fact is most disabled do not qualify for the DTC and its benefits. Being disabled is not in itself sufficient for CRA.

My wife received it until 2015 when they made her re-apply for it and she was denied, she tried again in 2018 and was again denied. She had it from around 2003 to 2015, maybe it was 2004, somewhere in there is when it started.

I love it. We are up to 5:21pm for our sunset, and its nice to not be dark before 4pm, another month or so it will be even better. By end of the month we will be up to 5:55pm for sunset woo hoo.
