I haven’t been a cat person. They are, ok. But they are buttwads. They knock everything down, they pee on your clothes, they don’t listen too you. I have two Boston terriers, wonderful dogs. Love them to death.

My brother was looking at kittens. Which turned my husband (also not a cat person) into looking with him..and somehow that turned into me looking..and I saw this beautiful cat that I instantly went “ooh wow that’s a beautiful cat!!” After reading about the breed on every board and hundreds of google searches. My history is all about this cat. Temperament, care, genetic mutations, breeding, health issues, ethical breeding, colour ways, cat care, kitten care and on and on and on and on..every darned page I could find…

And now…I have one. And I am absolutely completely OBSESSED with this kitten. I haven’t been able to do anything while I’m home other than the usual household chores. T.v? What’s that? Phone games? Reading anything other than something about cats? Naaahhh videos? Only cats. The world could be ending and I wouldn’t know because it’s not about cats.

I’ve spent more purchasing things for my cat than I have on my son’s birthday. Cat tower, toys, automatic litter box (of course thoroughly researched for the safest and on manual so only I make it turn on) so she always has a pristine place to place her poop. Only metal water fountain, (no no to kitty acne! And bacteria!!) scratch posts , dry shampoo, wet shampoo, brushes and her own set of kitty clothes and towels and on and on and on.

Thankfully the feeling is mutual. She is obsessed with me as well. She follows me everywhere. My husband is equally obsessed. We sit there together just oohing and awwwing. My husband will have her and call to me “her paw!! I love how she stretches out!” , as though he knows..I’m doing dishes and have wet hands..I can’t run over and pet her and appreciate just how stretched out her little paw is. But he’ll take a picture for me..because now both our phones have thousands of pictures and videos of our cat. I’ll go to the bathroom and he will text me..about the cat. We spent a day with the cat tree, one of us beside it scared she would fall..of course she’s a cat, and agile and crazy.

We have two dogs and a 10 year old son. She is the queen. This kitten came into my home, zero fear. She never hid. She never ran away. She owned this house from the moment she came in. I was scared with the dogs at first. They accepted that their Queen had come easily. They follow her as she regally walks around the house, looking for things of interest and hope for her to acknowledge them (she rarely does of course, peasants you know). One dog has taken to carrying a kitty toy around whilst following. The other sometimes brings a puppy toy. I am guessing they are carrying options around for her. I’m assuming in hopes of being noticed by her highness. Our eldest dog has a big floofy blanket she drags around and give it up when her highness has decided to plop down on it. Our son loves her but has decided from now on he wants his bedroom door shut when he sleeps as he does appreciate still having toes.

I called my older daughter, to inform her we have added to the family..and sent her a picture. She responded with “you don’t even LIKE cats!!”

No…I didn’t like cats…now, I’m obsessed. Now I get it. Now I understand. Where it baffled me before how cats were so interesting to people. I am now one of those people.

edit to add:
many people are asking what she is. She is a Highland Lynx. Also known as a Highlander. Her name, is Puma because she looks like a little mountain lion ❤️

Hey r/LocalLLaMA folks! Unsloth now officially supports AMD hardware for local inference, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and deployment! It's been in the works for quite some time, but it works on Windows, Linux & WSL devices (+ technically Mac) with AMD GPUs!

Unsloth Studio is fully open source and free, and supports:

• Radeon RX 9000 and 7000 series
• Instinct MI350 and MI300 GPUs
• Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max systems
• AMD CPUs for GPU-free inference

You can train models with up to 70% less VRAM, run reinforcement learning with up to 80% less VRAM, and use optimized ROCm, Triton, bitsandbytes, PyTorch, and llama.cpp builds - all installed automatically.

Linux, WSL, and macOS:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Unsloth supports inference and training for nearly all models, including Qwen, Gemma, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, and DiffusionGemma.

You can also:

• Export models as GGUF, safetensors, or LoRA adapters
• Connect local models to Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Pi, OpenCode!
• Track RAM and VRAM usage during training - remotely and locally
• Access Unsloth remotely through secure Cloudflare HTTPS tunneling - like a "LM Link"!
• Update with daily AMD-optimized llama.cpp ROCm prebuilts to reduce compilation time!

For plain pip installation:

uv pip install "unsloth[amd]"

Huge thanks to the AMD team for collaborating with us on this release! Let us know what AMD hardware you’re using and share any feedback - we'll try to make AMD much better!
