    I can tell you about the last time I flew Spirit airlines. I was on vacation in a place with really nice weather. Back home also had really nice weather, and it was basically clear skies all the way in between.

    However, there was a hurricane in Florida.

    Spirit canceled my return flight about 12 hours in advance, and booked me on a flight for the next day. Never mind that my hotel reservation ended in a few hours, so I didn’t have a place to stay or a rental car planned for the extra day. They said they didn’t have to offer me anything because it was “weather related”, on account of the hurricane that was literally more than a thousand miles away from either my departure or arrival airports.

    Would a different airline have handled it differently? I don’t know. I’ve had other airlines do a better job rerouting me after a cancellation, but the conditions were different. Regardless, I’ll not be giving Spirit any more of my money.

    My cat is somehow bad at eating? He spreads wet food on the floor and leaves it there to dry out until I have to clean it up. He takes mouthfuls of dry food and carries them away from the bowl to dump them on the carpet, only to leave most of it there.

    We’ve asked vets about it, but they don’t see anything wrong in his mouth, so… I guess he just likes doing it that way.

    Edit: He seems to like the wet food, and he eats most of it, so I don’t think it’s done in protest. For the dry food, we gave him the widest bowl we could find, so his whiskers shouldn’t be hitting the sides of the bowl.
