Oh, sure, I’m not dumping on YouTube “how to” videos in general. A lot of them are great and you can learn a ton from them! I’ve definitely learned lots from handy people sharing their knowledge with the internet. I’m just saying, regarding this specific case, don’t start cutting up your house on the basis of watching a video.
Cats don’t care about humans misgendering them until the vet is mucking about in their nethers. I have a friend whose boy cat is named “Roxanne”, and Roxy only cares that his human is wonderful and his home is too.
Also, very glad to see that Sophie’s People had the window installed professionally. In circumstances where the structural integrity of your house is involved, do not do it yourself unless you know what you’re doing. Watching YouTube videos doesn’t count.
Wow! Congratulations to her on paying off her house so quickly. I’m jealous. And I hope the kittens can be socialized and adopted into good homes!
