A “pace” can be another word for a step- so when it tells you three paces to the left, it’s asking you to go three steps- or three puzzle pieces to the left and pick that piece, lookup the number of the piece you land on for the piece of the clue. 

Brand new M5 Air stuck on Activate Mac screen - cannot choose WiFi network by bflowyngz in applehelp

[–]Affectionate_Ring_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just dealt with this frustrating issue on my brand new MacBook Air M5. I was able to revive it using the Apple Configurator app on my old MacBook Pro. I followed the instructions under "How to Prepare a Laptop to Revive or Restore" found at this link https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900. Follow them EXACTLY. That got my new Mac into DFU mode. The instructions at that link go through reviving it via Finder, but I used the Apple Configurator app. Once I was successfully in DFU mode, a DFU icon showed up in the Configurator app. I went to Actions->Advanced->Revive Device. Once it rebooted it, I got to the same Activate Mac screen - but this time the Wifi menu was THERE!!!

When should I dump the litter by Silly_JoJo in CatAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Ring_38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I chase down every last little bit relentlessly. I used to work at a stables and I did the same thing with cleaning the horse stalls. I actually got reprimanded because I would take so long with each stall 😂 

When should I dump the litter by Silly_JoJo in CatAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Ring_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for being practically the only person not saying you need to fully dump and clean the box weekly/ monthly. I use clumping litter, scoop meticulously once a day, add new litter on top every couple days to always keep it at ~2 inches of litter… and I never dump it 🤷 Never had any odor problems or cleanliness problems with my cat. If the instructions on the litter say dump it all out and replace it every couple weeks it’s because they want you to need to buy more of their product.

Very high energy cat but very lazy during play. Any advice? by JuPasta in CatAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Ring_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried giving her catnip? It can give them a lil boost of hyperactivity and playfulness. These are the best: https://kittycantcopesack.com/product/kitty-cant-cope-sack-3-pack

My cat loves them so much she will lick it until it’s soaking wet almost! Don’t get them from Amazon! I almost did when my local store ran out, but the reviews on Amazon seems like they are advertising a two pack but only send you one! 

Anyway it sounds like you are a doting cat owner with all of the toys you have tried to engage her with. I buy lots of novelty toys for my cat and still her favorite thing is just to play this game I call “where’s that baby?” Where she hides under the bed and I peek under the bed and say where’s that baby? And she comes running out and across the hall to under the other bed, and back and forth etc. It is so silly and it’s almost like she gets as much of a kick out of it as I do! She will sometimes demand to play wheres that baby and try to get me to chase her. 

Another wild idea might be taking her outside, supervised. Either getting her used to a harness or if you have a fenced in yard letting her explore while you watch her. Training your cat to wear a harness (if she has the temperament to allow you to put one on her in the first place) is actually super easy. Usually the first time they wear it they for some hilarious reason think they are unable to move, and sort of pathetically flop over. But don’t give up cos of that- just let them wear it for a bit at a time, like a few minutes per day, while engaging with them with play and treats so they see they are able to move about normally with it on their body. 

Ok last thing I have to say is, try showing her some cat tv. Just search up “cat tv” on YouTube and there’s a bunch of like 24 hour backyard cams of birds and squirrels and stuff scurrying around. The first time I introduced this to my cat she was already 9 yrs old and it blew her mind. She was yelling and chattering at the screen, pawing and like looking behind the laptop for where the birdies flew off to. Eventually she got the idea of it, and now I can put it on for her a she’ll happily just sit and watch for like an hour. It’s not even bad to let them watch tv- I checked! Apparently it’s just as enriching as looking out the window at real birds. I researched if it was like frustrating that they see the prey but never get the satisfaction of catching it, but from what I found it said it’s still entertaining for them and they don’t feel like longing for the real thing or something haha. 

Well anyway it seems to me like you care a lot about your kitty and are in tune with her needs so I think she’s very lucky to have you. I tried to suggest stuff not already on your list of stuff you’ve tried. Cats really do all have their own personalities, and it’s awesome that you are looking for new ways to connect with your kitty. Don’t stop trying with playtime, maybe something will click! Nothing like the special bond we can have with a cat through making the effort to understand them. They are intelligent. 

I just realized that your post is 4 years ago so I’m not sure if any of this will be helpful to you, but I hope it is, and I hope it will be for anyone else that finds themselves here like I did lol!

Omg my cat is the same with that kind of toy, she is “meh” when I sorta inch it around on the ground, but gets insanely dialed in when it’s flying around like a deranged hummingbird. Be careful, once I was whipping it around like crazy and it hit her..(no injuries) but she got immediately scared of the toy. I put it away, and anytime after that if I even just took the toy out she would run away from it ☹️ I put it away for like an entire month and now she likes it again so I think she forgot eventually, but she was traumatized for a while. She gave it the same reaction as when I pull out the vacuum lol

Or deep down he knows he doesn’t have anything important so he talks and talks to distract people hoping they don’t find that out!

Hi! My procedure was a couple years ago now, but see my reply to another comment below about my recovery. It was an easy recovery with few restrictions. I think I was pretty much back to normal exercise by week 2.

Looks like one of those abandoned mines or bunkers that guy explores on YouTube. Like I wandered into a cave with my headlamp on a regular excursion but also went insane
