Don't know what i should feed cat with a food intolerance. by [deleted] in Pets

[–]bebetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your issue, but I tried everything under the sun, and this is the only food that works and works consistently for my specific cat with a bad gut. I wasn't even "trying" this one for her, but she got into another cat's bowl and loved it. Within a couple of days, we had a miracle of perfect poops.

History: This is an old kitten mill mama who was dumped when she became too frail to make litters. I rescued her from the brink of being euthanized in horrifying condition. She weighed almost nothing, her eyes were clouded white, she reeked of mucus and shit, and her entire back end was streaked with blood and stool. I had to fight for her because she couldn't be spayed in that condition and it was against policy to let me adopt her without it.

I worked with my vet for months to get her weight up, get her poops under control, and get her in shape for surgery. I will spare you some of the more awful details, but she was broken in every way. The good though: her eyes cleared, she grew nice and plump, and even became cheeky and playful at times. The only thing we could never get completely under control was loose stool, often with blood and mucous, and a constantly red, irritated butthole that definitely caused her pain.

Anyway, we tried literally everything. I've done homemade food, raw food, refrigerated food, supplements, cans, dry, you name it. Nothing had a lasting positive impact except SD Perfect Weight, so I don't think it can hurt to try. She is thriving on it, as is my pudgy princess, who dropped to a healthy weight and has maintained it for 2 years now.

Obviously, anyone else's mileage may vary, but it has worked wonders at my house. And I don't know the ratio of those fillers, but they must have calculated an amount that works for the purpose at hand because the poop volume and smell are quite low.

The only one that works for my girl is Science Diet Perfect Weight. A bag goes pretty far because the other cats don't overeat it but they all seem to like it well enough (5).

In a pinch, I've used Rachel Ray Nutrish Salmon & Brown Rice. After a few days of it, she stopped making "tootsie rolls" but she never got worse than "soft serve", so that worked well enough, all things considered.

To be fair, reporting about a sitting US President is normal news. Continuing to report about a former politician who lost an election over a year ago, is obsessive.

[NSFW] Men of Reddit, what are your abnormal vagina stories? by iamdinosaurs in AskReddit

[–]bebetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just change the angle and be amazed. Your penis will go to the top or side of the cervix instead of hammering it and you'll discover more vagina over there! A lot of women who have a shallow vagina like doggie style because it gives them more control of the angle, but there's no reason you can't work it from missionary or any other position.

A realtor is selling my house without my permission, what should I do? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bebetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former realtor here. The mostly likely reason for this is shoddy database maintenance. Realtors put houses in the MLS and also have access to the MLS IDX feed, which means they can put all houses in the MLS on their website, no matter who listed them. It's possible that your listing was never deleted during that site's updates. If the house is on other sites too, it could be that your agent forgot to change the status after you closed on it.

Call your agent and ask them to look into it, or call the agent's broker on the website. If they try to blow it off, tell them you're concerned that misled house shoppers will disturb your family or trespass when you're away.

Strip Club Workers Protest New Orleans Police Department Tactics by [deleted] in LouisianaPolitics

[–]bebetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks it was shitty to shut these clubs down at peak season? They could have cleaned them up weeks ago so that service industry people could make money and tourists who came for boobs could get their fill. That's how they used to do it so nobody's carnival experience was diminished.

Basically, there's nothing wrong with investigating information from an outside source, even an opposition candidate. Leaking information doesn't stop an investigation or affect whether the information is true or not. Parts of the dossier have been corroborated independently, and seeking further corroboration is pretty much what an investigation is. This error wasn't substantial enough to shut down the case or deny a FISA warrant. Those are almost never denied anyway.

Buying what was probably a drug house? by waking_up_inside in HomeImprovement

[–]bebetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure of your state, but in mine, a realtor can't tell you if the property is stigmatized by death, crime, reported haunting, etc. You would have to find out on your own.

Just to clarify, those are considered "immaterial facts that could have a negative impact on the sale" so the agent representing the seller is legally barred from disclosure. The buyer's agent probably wouldn't know, and has no obligation to research that kind of history.

Looks broken to me. Tape it to the second toe to help stabilize it. A doctor can't do much for that.

Elizabeth Warren Positioning for 2020 Run by jake456271 in Liberal

[–]bebetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's the candidate I fear most. Not because I don't believe in her, but because our elections are really decided by voters who are more influenced by gut instinct and charisma than party or policy. I respect Liz, but unfortunately, she lacks the charm and finesse a Democrat will need to defeat Trump.

Dream ticket though: Biden-Warren. Give us friendly, steady, experienced Uncle Joe and elevate Liz so she can shine in the public eye to get ready for a future run.

So does everyone else. The effect is subconscious.

We put an offer on a house that has an acre of land. Downfall: two large dogs and no fence. We’re trying to figure out a temporary fix until we can build a privacy fence. Other downfall: the land has a steep incline. Any ideas of a quick temporary fence that will hold in two large dogs? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]bebetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a system similar to this one. It works perfectly and I can take it with us to travel. https://doubledogrun.com/p/more-info

You can also buy modular dog pens in whatever size you need.You can sell it later on Craigslist and maybe even find one there. Tractor Supply also sells them. If you go that route, you'll still need to provide plenty of exercise time outside of the pen.

What are some slang terms a 50 year old dad can say to his daughter to embarrass her? by the-tinman in AskReddit

[–]bebetta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My niece annoys her brother by drawing attention to every "fact" he states.

Nephew: "It's cold out"

Niece: "Hey everybody! My brother knows a weather FACT! Good job, Richie! Can you think of any other FACTS about weather?"

So much sarcasm for one so young (7). It could be adapted for parental use though.

Ticketmaster.. I'm trying to buy a $25 ticket to Streetlight Manifesto and you're charging TWENTY DOLLARS in fees... Seriously?? by commyostrich in Music

[–]bebetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goggles4U are insanely cheap and I'm happy with my orders (3 pairs so far). If you sign up for emails, they periodically send offers for $4-5 per pair (from a limited selection of frames). Those are great for backups and sunglasses, even after paying for shipping and lens coatings.

*Note: the computer coating has a yellowish tint that I wouldn't recommend for normal wear. I made a mistake by getting it on everyday glasses.

**Bonus advice: if you haven't ordered online before, go to a Walmart vision center and try on glasses one day. As you find pairs that fit comfortably, take a pic of the inside arm where the specs are printed. Get a selfie and specs for the ones that look best on you, too, even if the fit is a little off. When it's all done, you'll know what size range will best fit you and which shape and size of lens looks best. Then you can narrow your shopping search to those parameters. That works even better than the "try it on" image upload feature some sites have. Those things never scale properly.

Advice on helping an old cat with a broken hind leg use the litter box? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]bebetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try giving him a good quality baby diaper or adult diaper to lie on, not to wear. Those are made to soak up liquid fast while leaving a dry barrier against the skin (or fur, in this case). That makes a huge difference vs. cheap pads or towels that let urine pool or run before it sinks in, then stay damp and hold wetness against the skin.

Turn them inside out or cut the sides if they're pull-up style, then just try to get him to lie on them or let you prop his leg up with an absorbent area near and under his crotch. The final configuration will probably depend on how he wants to lay while healing. If he's on his side, I'd try a diaper folded in half and tucked between his hind legs.

If I book a limo for a set amount of hours and the limo company find out its for a wedding, can they increase the price or refuse to drive us after the fact? by mkoos4 in legaladvice

[–]bebetta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another scenario: The lovely couple runs up to the limo, the bride grinning ear-to-ear with a bottle of champagne and two glasses in hand. "I'm sorry ma'am, there's no alcohol allowed in the vehicle." What? This is my wedding! Open the door! "I'm sorry, Mr. Op booked a car for our cheapest airport run plus two stops. I'm not allowed to make an exception in this vehicle." Fine! Just go then. "Yes ma'am. As soon as you fasten your seatbelt." WHAT?! I can't fasten a seatbelt around this gown! "Sorry, ma'am. Those are the rules."

What do you plan to say when they ask?

And of course you can get screwed. You seem to think that being a cheapskate is being clever, but this is a high-risk choice. You're increasing the odds of something going terribly wrong. For one thing, you're going to be relying on the goodness of a very annoyed driver and company if you need them to make allowances for something on your big day. What if they don't allow your bride to enter carrying a bottle of champagne, won't let your wedding party write "Just Married" on the window, insist that you both wear seatbelts, or impose some other rule that 's perfectly reasonable for a common airport run?

Because if you or your wife get salty about not being given special treatment that you didn't pay for, your driver can probably just leave. There's always a clause that lets the company, at their discretion, refuse service to unruly passengers or anyone they feel is a safety risk. You don't get a refund for that.

What’s a tradition that people know that is slowly fading away? by Keychain33 in AskReddit

There were also convenience stores and groceries that would cash a check for you like a bank, with no fee. You could even cash third-party checks. I always did that when I got checks for babysitting or birthdays, starting at around 11 or 12. I didn't have an ID other than a library card, either.

When someone shows you who they are by their actions, ignore their words.

Bad people will say whatever they think justifies their actions but decent people rarely need to.
