they say cats are playful when young and then aren't, "can't teach old [cat] new tricks", etc. but this isn't true when said about people, you can do a PhD at 80 if capitalism hasn't succeeded in draining all your life. on the other hand, if no one ever taught you anything but…
it really depends on the person, but, *yes*, I have considered actually sterilizing the cat and then giving her HRT, but progestin implants seem better, given that they already exist in required dosages and it's a once every few years thing and not every day/biweekly thing

also depends on specific kind of contraceptives. ever considered the ones with bioidentical estradiol and nomegestrol? these are generally better tolerated and as a bonus don't come with risks inherent to ethinylestradiol like DVT

I don’t think they have those at mannings? I’m not going back to doctors, last time I tried to get a prescription for anything but the generic I was told, actual quote, “ah, yes, it’s fashionable among young girls these days to pretend to have side effects”.

the trade name is Zoeli, not sure if prescription in your area; roommate didn't need any but she's not in the US. and yikes! i'm sorry, this kind of attitude is awful and regrettably common :/

this kind of thing is why i resort to explaining what should be taught in schools to strangers on the internet on the unfortunately high chance they have never been informed by a competent medical professional :/

the cat is probably fine, I just have a particularly bad reaction to progestin. you’d notice if she stopped eating. (the fact that “food turning to ash in your mouth” is a real thing that you can just switch on with a pill fucked me up so bad. i can live without sex. but food?)

right. jsyk progestins are a class of drugs; there's many of them with fairly different side effects profiles, if one didn't work another might work well
