Why my cat has (almost) no teeth
Last month, my cat lost one of his top canine teeth. When I took him to the vet, the news only got worse. Almost all of his teeth needed pulled. He had a dental disease that went unchecked for so long that his teeth were destroyed, and he was missing most of his molars already. Now, he only has his bottom two canines and a few of his lower incisors.

Roach Case
One day, I saw roaches, near my kitchen sink on my kitchen counter, stuck inside one of my electric blender (a Walmart Bullet) drinking cups, upright. At first, only two roaches, both adults of two slightly different size and shapes, were in the cup. Strangely to me, the roaches could not crawl up the cup. The next day, I saw only one roach, looking to me like the bigger adult roach, in the cup. Apparently, the two roaches had been stacked together one on top of the other, as the next day after that, two roaches, looking to me just like the same two first adult roaches, were visible to me in the cup. Also, on that same day, a third roach, an immature, or a roach still developing into an adult, was crawling around near the cup on the same kitchen counter of mine. The next day after that, a third roach, looking to me like the same immature roach, was also in the cup.
