I'm not sure this even exists, and I'm having a hard time googling the answer.

Consider the following sentence: "I will start going on walks as soon as my neighbour moves away, otherwise I shall never leave my house again."

If I wanted to refer to only the first part of the sentence (everything before the first comma), how would I do so?

I'm asking because I need to clearly communicate the issue with a similarly structured sentence in a contract (I'm a law clerk). I think "clause" is the best answer here, but unfortunately, it refers to something different in law (a paragraph, basically).

If there is no better answer, that's fine. May just end up just saying "part"

my adult cat, maggie, is VERY socially anxious. while she did grow up around another cat (older male, they got along instantly), he died about two years ago and shes been the only pet since.

in may of this year, i moved out to my first one bedroom apartment with her and she was great. it was just the two of us until my boyfriend moved in about two weeks ago, and the first wednesday after he arrived we got a 9 week old kitten.

while maggie has been getting along great with my boyfriend (she warmed up to him during previous visits), she has NOT been a big fan of the kitten, who is in fact evil (i.e. very energetic and playful, doesnt get social cues. i dont think she understands that other creatures feel pain).

since we only have two interior doors (bedroom & bathroom), the kitten has been kept in the bedroom and maggie has had the rest of the place. most nights though, we let the kitten roam under supervision.

maggie has found a spot behind the tv which is a bit too tall for the kitten to reach, but she still hisses and growls whenever the kitten is nearby. the kitten is unbothered by this--so much so, in fact, that she tries to sneak up on her FROM BEHIND whenever maggie leaves her spot. absolutely no manners. very evil.

while i understand theres a gradual process thats meant to be followed, our space is very limited and quite frankly, im impatient. atm, im just assuming the maggie will eventually get tired of growling at the very much harmless kitten and get used to her.

we are one week and one day in, and maggie has been getting a little better. she lets the kitten get a little closer before growling, and last night they took turns playing with a string toy only a few feet away (both on the ground!!). but im feeling nervous that we may be pushing maggie too much and ruining their chance at a relationship.

hoping for thoughts + opinions... the only cat introduction i took part in was with maggie and the old male cat, but he accepted her instantly so it wasn't much of a process.

im a cis afab lady with huge honkers. i mean some crazy melons. which is chill until i have to put on a button up shirt. i work in a law office.

needless to say, ive popped many buttons and fiddled with many pins. and yet, my boobs win out every time.

i dont need maximum shrinkage, just a humble flattening. thats all i need. i figured yall would be the best people to consult.

i have a potato king, so i exclusively stud to others. and so i request a LOT of studs. usually, there isnt an issue! but THOSE FEW people who accept stud requests, seem to be online everyday, have NO mention of ro schedules, but DONT TAKE THE DSMN STUD?? they piss me off SO BAD.

when i find a stud i like, i usually get refunded studs when possible to help save longterm. issue is, some of those refunded studs ive got saved up are from the (respectfully) motherfuckers who ignore my ladies heats. so no! i cant just cancel the request and find someone else! because then i would lose out of studs i had ALREADY PAID FOR.

this has happened a few times, but for the one im dealing with rn, i REEEEALLY just want to request they refund sb for the remaining studs they wont do. but idk if theyd ever do that!

edit: i paid for 1gb but only got 250sb worth of value back. that means if i dont get the rest of my refunded studs, ive lost 500sb to this individual

if they werent holding the 500sb of prepaid studs hostage (im exaggerating a bit but still), i would just cancel the requests and move on. bu i dont want to lose my 500sb and get nothing back

yes i checked the date they were last online. hence why i mentioned that i checked it

yes i messaged them. no they have no responded.
