  • I was sick, and my cat showed up to judge me.

  • When I was laying on the bathroom floor because I was puking from food poisoning, my bro basically wandered over after a while and started meowing at me like "wtf are you still doing on the floor, weirdo?"

  • In my experience, you can get away with going really cheap for dry feeders though. They really aren't that complex. I got like the second cheapest one I found on Amazon and it has been working great for the 6 months since I got it.

  • I really really wanted to do this in my bathroom cabinet, but it unfortunately just ended up being too small.

  • So did his weepy eyes resolve on their own? Did he have any other symptoms along with it.

    The first illness was a couple days after I brought him home from the shelter. both his eyes were watering like crazy and he was sneezing like mad, was also coughing rarely. I took him in pretty much right away. They said it's very normal for shelter cats to get sick, but that he did have a bit of an unusual pathogen causing it (Mycoplasma).

    The second time he had only one watery eye and was sneezing a bit but less so. Also coughing rarely. I tried to do a wait and see with this and was wondering if it was allergies, but it stayed the same for several weeks (no better but no worse), so he got antibiotics and it cleared up again.

    This time he has two weepy eyes, but he actually hasn't been sneezing much at all. He does cough rarely. I'm still doing a bit of a wait and see with the lysine this time before I bring him in.

  • Shoot yeah I forgot I was going to keep buying "low dust" litter when I first was wondering if both he and I were getting allergies, but I haven't bought "low dust" ones recently. Even still it looks like the standard clay litter is always dusty even if it has a "low dust" formulation.

    I'm not really too keen on switching the type of litter to be something like those wood pellets either. Seems like the other types are more complicated and a lot of cats don't like them. He's used to standard clay litter.

  • Interesting, I had not heard of this one. How much did that end up costing you? Sounds like it'll be in the tens of thousands of dollar range and won't be covered by my pet insurance lol.

  • My guy follows me everywhere, but whenever I turn the shower on he runs away! He seems to be a bit scared whenever it rains too. The guy must really not like water.

    But if I can get him to chill in the bathroom with the shower on, I'll give it a go.

  • Awww poor babies. :(

    Did they ever figure out the cause? I had not really heard of this as an outcome, just particular infections that can happen and tooth loss (my guy was already missing his top front teeth!).

  • Ohh same. I was like wtf why is the litter so huge??

  • Thank you! He was the sweetest, chillest guy there who wasn't afraid to be out in the open and relax in front of everyone. Knew I had to pick him. :) I guess he had been there for around 5 months before I got him. He's around 4-5 years old and I named him Lester. He bunts me all the time and when his eyes are teary and stuff he wipes them all over me still lolol!

  • Pretty sure most people are only against circumcision for infants who do not consent. No one is talking about those with a medical need.

    I get surgically removed foreskins every day at my work, but they are elective procedures by those who can consent for a relatively "common" condition called phimosis.

  • Shoutout to the New Year!

  • I feel like I need to buy some of those lights where you can choose the colors and just have them year round.

    February - red, pink, white

    March - green

    October - orange or purple or a combo

    November - red and orange?

    December - red and green

    And then other months just go with your vibe.

  • I also found this to be odd.

    Obviously anyone could donate their entire earnings to charity, but it doesn't really make sense for the self. Why is he donating all of it instead of donating some and keeping some? Whose idea was this?

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • Literally same. Luckily I had managed to avoid thinking of it beyond my teen years for a good decade. But it has come back worse than ever when I recently started listening to a podcast about some philosophy.

    It's fucking terrifying and depressing. Anyone who doesn't believe in an afterlife but says it's not terrifying and depressing is taking mega levels of copium.

    At one point recently I remember I was walking around in public doing a bit of people watching and I was like holy fucking shit everyone is just walking around like this is nothing. Everyone is gonna die but we have all this random bullshit everyone is doing not realizing it's gonna end. Idk.

  • How is your cat so long? Is this an elastic model?

  • I am but a caffeinated goose

  • Lmao the thought had crossed my mind but they are so good! At least I don't have any more! I am also on a med that reduces your ability to metabolize caffeine so it's even worse!!!

  • Yeah the weird people that are outright forcing themselves to drink a specific excess volume of water per day are pretty wild to me.
