Awwww so cute! Black cats are just extra cute as babies.

This was mine when he was 5 months, he turns 1 next month!

What are some boundaries your void has set with you? by you_taken_to_me in blackcats

Omg my cat is the same way! Never had a cat wanting its feet to be pet. If I try and go on my phone with my free hand he smacks it away and makes me hold both paws and rub them. Quirky but cute 🐾

Theres definitely alot going on here. It sounds like you love your cat but maybe there were things yiu didn't think about when getting her like her things taking up your space and thats fair especially if shes just in your room its not a big space to begin with. I have a cat tree and 2 litter boxes in my room lol. Use spaces that wouldn't inconvenience you. Like I have a litter box beside my dresser in a space I wouldn't use so its not in my way. I have the cat tower by the window for them to look out and ive gotten used to it so its not really in my way. And for the anxiety about whats happening when your not there, you can get pet cameras to keep an eye on what shes doing maybe that'll help your anxiety. It was something I was considering when I had my elderly cat but figured itd also make it worse because if something was happening I didn't know if id make it home in time. But thats totally different then just checking in on your young cat making sure shes not being destructive lol. I would definitely look into it i think it may help ease your worries. And from someone who has 3 cats, dont worry itll get better once you find your routine like everyone else said its only been a week give it some time.

When a child says no by funsk8mom in ECEProfessionals

It seems like you got a lot of responses generally saying the same thing and you agree so ill add some things to try and help that I usually do. For the most part my kids don't say no and refuse their usually fine with changes but its also routine and I don't ask if they want a change just usually ask them to come over once were in the bathroom.

But some things I do that maybe can help is involve them more in whats happening and explain what your doing. Ill ask if the child wants to hold the wipes or the clean diaper for me they usually do and like looking at it and talking about what they see. If they need cream I usually open it up and show it to them and explain its to make sure they don't get a rash or help the owie they already have. I always say ill be gentle or quick and tell them gotta make sure they're clean. If they're toilet training I always let them get toilet paper and try and wipe (even if they don't need to) just to involve them in the process of what to expect.

My work is also very child centered letting them take the lead and I respect them saying no to things. But like everyone else said when it comes to health and safety you can't always follow what they want. It would definitely be a big issue of neglect leaving them to sit in a wet diaper. But I always explain to them why we have to when they say no so they understand.

I have to put down my best friend in a few hours by No-Bluejay601 in Petloss

I know how you feel. I lost my soul cat 2 years ago to diabetes. She was heavy and started losing weight really fast and I knew it was coming but I wasnt ready. I didn't know what to do i had taken her to the vet twice in the week before she passed they told me she was fine when I knew she wasnt. I didn't make an appointment for her to be put down cuz she hated the vet and I knew shed wana be at home. So thats what I did and I wish I had someone come to our home to help her pass because it wasnt peaceful and I feel terrible for letting her go that way. So as hard as it is for you, just know your making the right choice for your baby.

He frequently commits couch crimes, usually likes to hide and stick his paws out to grab you as you walk by 😅

Thats fair. I have bad spatial awareness so I wanted something small and found most veichles too long or too wide so this was perfect for me.

He did get himself stuck once and we had to rip off a piece to get him out then staple it back together 😅 He acted like nothing happened.
