About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

my cat is constantly killing things, bringing them back on my deck, and eating nothing but the BRAINS. while i know its a cats instinct to kill, thats not normal to eat just the brains. in the past two weeks, shes brought back and eaten the brains of 5 chipmonks, 3 baby rabbits, 3 birds, 4 mice, and a mole. and thats only what she brought back. my mom is completely fed up with it becuase she has to clean it up. she told me today that she is going to get rid of her. i begged her not to, and came up with the idea of getting her a collar with a bell on it to warn the animals that shes coming. my mom said that we'll give that a try, but if she finds one more dead animal on our deck, we have to get rid of her. that is the last thing i want to do. what else can i do to cut down on the amount of animals shes killing? i want to try keeping her inside 24/7, but she is outside most of the time when it is warm out, so i dont know how to go about doing this. shes been an outdoor cat for 3 years, so i dont know how to keep her inside. any ways to stop her from bringing the animals back or ideas for keeping her inside will greatly help becuase i realllyyy dont want to get rid of her.
thanks!
You might want to check in with your vet before doing anything else. Eating a certain part of the animal might indicate a nutritional deficiency of some sort.
Regardless, I would recommend keeping her inside. She won't like it at first, but it's a lot safer for her, and for the other animals. The lifespan of an indoor cat is substantially longer than that of an outdoor pet--another good reason to keep her in.
She'll get used to being inside, and although she might try and sneak out, she'll deal with it. Just be careful that she doesn't slip out the door and she should be fine.
Good luck.
