apart from on Substack, do you tell others in real life that you have an unvaccinated cat? I find there is still so much ignorance about veterinary health. Have you noticed the dramatic increase in veterinary costs and now pet health insurance to help manage those costs? We never had that when I was younger.

And I'm glad you mentoned filtered water -- that is a not-well-known thing that people should do. It makes a huge difference, and people have no idea.
