Low magnesium can cause leg cramps.

LOL! I'll bet the cat jumps up on her kitchen counters too when
she's not home.

Mia always prefered drinking from my nightstand water glass.
During the day, she would drink from the ferret water
bowls....one in bathroom and one in cage. At night, she wanted my
water and I gladly let her drink it. She would wake me by
touching her cold nose to my nose. (This was a hello touch to get
my attention). Then she would look at me a certain way and I knew
the "thirsty" look. I would reach over and hold my water glass to
her so she could drink. She would drink then go back to sleep.
No worries...we lived together and shared all germs.

Keep in mind though that food to be sold commercially does often
require more ingredients just to keep them safe.

You should look up McD's hash browns too. I'd be interested in
seeing the ingredient list. If I make hash browns at home, it's
only potatoes and oil (and maybe a nip of butter). Bet you McD
hashbrowns have a long list of ingredients.

I don't care, I rarely eat the stuff.

IMO, the casual attitude of "no worries" is the key to long life.

No, she doesn't. I close the door to the kitchen when I leave the
house. She's smart, but not that smart.

My cat Persia could have figured it out. I used to have to cat-proof
the pantry and the laundry room. She liked to open doors.

> Mia always prefered drinking from my nightstand water glass.

I've never caught Buffy attempting to crawl onto the nightstand to drink
out of the water glass. She has her own bowl of freshly filled water
(twice a day) right next to her food.

Maybe it's time for you to adopt another ferret.

It will definitely happen soon. Not much longer.

But you do look left and right before you cross a street, because too
much of "no worries" is the key to short life.

Can you please work on that now!

It will happen when you're ready. After Persia died I really didn't
want to adopt another cat. But one day I found out Buffy needed a home
after her owner died. It turned out she'd been bullied by the other cat
in the house. The caretaker was hoping for an only-cat household. I
was in a perfect position to do it so I adopted her. She's turned out
to be a total lovebug.

You'll know when you're ready. Try not to dwell on the deaths of the
others. It's the love you give and receive from the next one(s) that
counts.
