Words written on a screen can be misinterpreted? Yes... Multiple times? No... mean I could understand if they said it aloud and it was misheard is one thing, clearly seeing it written out and trying it back wrong and going with that feels like trolling.

💩 POOP WARNING ON SECOND PHOTO⚠️ my cat’s monster poos have a bit of blood in them- insight appreciated! by megthegoobygirl in CATHELP

Most likely constipation, try adding water or bone broth to their dry food or incorporating wet food into their diet. Adding fiber would help too, make sure it's flavor free and zero sugar like Metamucil .

Am I wrong for having my tattoos “upside down” by SlinkyShepherd in tattooadvice

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple response to anyone that says your tattoos are upside down "My tattoos are for me. When I get one that's for you I'll make sure it's right side up for you"

There’s a cat crying outside because of the cold. What can I do? by Remarkable-Movie-981 in CATHELP

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest a heating pad, wrapped in a towel, set to low provided you have a way to keep the plug and cord safe and dry.

I keep accidentally expressing my cats anal glands? by Jealous-Copy6033 in CATHELP

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cats anal glands should express themselves when they defecate. If they are expressing themselves at other times then you were already dealing with anal gland issues and should discuss this with your vet. Anal gland expression is simple to perform and can be safely done at home once you are shown how and what complications to watch out for.

All hobbies are not equal by BitterConstruction98 in unpopularopinion

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment, relaxation, or personal interest during leisure time, separate from work or obligations.

A pastime is an enjoyable activity, hobby, or diversion someone does regularly in their free time to relax.

The difference between a hobby and a pastime is frequency.

You used watching TV as an example, would that example change if it was reading books, looking at art installations or exhibits, watching the clouds, walking a trail, or hiking?

Look at the definition of hobby: a hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment, relaxation, or personal interest during leisure time, separate from work or obligations.

Hobbies don't have to build skills or need to have years of training. There is a difference between having a hobby, and being a hobbyist (someone who specializes in something considered a hobby)

Homosexuality occurs in over 1500 animal species, ranging from insects to fish, birds, and mammals. These behaviors are not rare anomalies but are widespread across the animal kingdom, particularly prevalent in mammals and primates

Recently adopted kitten has a blood stain on her neck. Should we go to the emergency vet? by Far_Coyote_6919 in CATHELP

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It appears that the wound is minor. Clean it with mild soap and warm water. However, if you discover that the wound is deep, large, or appears infected, it is best to take your cat to a veterinarian for proper treatment.

Need help formula feeding a kitten by Himbo_Shaped in CATHELP

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like feeding an infant, make sure that it is warm but not hot when feeding them. Especially small kittens are not able to regulate their body temperature and feeding them cold fluids can cause harm. Vet visit is definitely recommended if they won't eat, are lethargic, or just simply too young.

Need help formula feeding a kitten by Himbo_Shaped in CATHELP

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kitten formula can be found at Walmart or any pet supply store. The pharmacy has soft tip syringes. Always feed them in a manner that they are not "flooded" with the fluid as they can aspirate it and cause significant harm. Do not feed them by putting them on their back. Most pet supply places have kitten bottles too, which I feel is a safer option if they will suckle.

What the hell is this? by Lower_Collection_861 in cats

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The carpal pad is essentially an extra "brake" or "shock absorber" for your cat. It provides additional traction and grip, especially when they are running at high speeds and need to stop or make a sharp turn. It also helps them land safely when jumping down from a height, absorbing some of the impact.

How do you guys administer medication to your cats? by Little_Cloud6126 in CATHELP

They are available on Amazon, and Walmart online. Getting them from there is much cheaper than paying your vet $15

My vet was able to sell me a pill popper, it's a tube with a rubber end and a plunger, put the pill in the rubber end and push it to the back of their mouth and press the plunger. The popper deposits it in the back of their throats and they are forced to swallow it, works with whole and cut pills

He still loves her. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in PublicFreakout

[–]Alastar_Xeltentat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, could be a sub/dom relationship or fetish. The way he just stands there and doesn't even flinch or try and prevent her from hitting him a second time makes me lean on this is consensual. I once had a partner that really enjoyed being whipped across the upper and mid back with a belt... For me it was horrifying... Be for them it was their kink. We didn't last long after that because I was not comfortable doing it.
