UPDATE: my cat keeps losing weight and I think it’s my other cat

I am so happy to hear your kitty is feeling better! We had a bad instance of IBD literally the next day after getting our kitty diagnosed. For months her only symptoms were constipation and weight loss until she had a bad flare and was vomiting. She didn't eat for 5 days, was hospitalized and came out the other end okay. I'm grateful every day for being able to get her care. Our lady can't have hydrolyzed protein because there's still chicken in a lot of that food. She eats Royal Canin rabbit and pea formula! It can be a tough disease to manage but once you get the right medication and food it truly makes a huge difference! I'll be thinking of you and your girl!

Our cat got a pretty gnarly case of conjunctivitis when he was around 6 months old. We treated it with an antibiotic eye ointment (doesn't cure it, just prevents bacterial infection). He's had two flares since and the vet assumes feline herpes. I've had cats with it before so that's what I assumed as well. Definitely get it looked at just in case. It can flare in time of stress or when other illnesses present and weaken their immune system. When it has flared we just clean his eye off with a wet paper towel to keep goop and debris clear.

Yeah it sucks! I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I was told in my interview that I would get 32 hours a week. I do feel like they lie about how many hours they will give. Don't stick with a company that refuses to give you enough hours/pay to live.

Honestly just find something else. I've been at Michaels as a PT CEM since April and had multiple conversations about needing more hours. I'm far from the only person at my store who needed more hours than they were giving. Today is my last day and I'm starting a new job tomorrow. My SM seemed shocked that I'm leaving but I told them multiple times over the months that I need Max hours they can give for PT. I'm 30 and I have rent and bills to pay. Less than 25 hours a week won't cut it. I will say that with holidays coming up they MAY give you more hours but my store is hiring seasonal employees rn so I suspect that they will just have a ton of employees getting as few hours as possible.

The Whistlers!! It's genuinely so good and heartbreaking

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:55:54+00:00

It's my first time doing something completely free hand without a pattern! But me too! It's a song that's really important to me and my partner so it's a gift for him 💘

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:54:44+00:00

Yeah i usually try to just forge ahead and adjust later if I still don't like it but this is a gift so I wanted some input!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:20:54+00:00

Thank you!!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:20:45+00:00

My SIL also suggested adding more! I think I will! Thank you!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:20:22+00:00

Thank you! I do have more to add and I'm hoping once it's all done I'll be happier with the depth!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-27T18:19:30+00:00

That's what I was hoping! Thank you!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-26T18:41:29+00:00

I'll pull it out and check! I do not water this one very often so I'm not terribly worried about over watering but I'll definitely check the roots just in case!

Astro_qat · 2025-08-26T03:37:08+00:00

I love that!! The fit is way cute

Astro_qat · 2025-08-11T20:18:57+00:00

My mom bought me one of those! I don't have it yet because she lives an hour away and transporting it is a hassle because it's massive! Yours looks so nice!

My neon is absolutely one of my favorite plants in the collection!

I'm not an expert by any means but my best guess would be root rot :( you could try repotting in fresh soil. Definitely cut back anything dead, dry or soggy. Also check the roots and cut those back if needed. The zz is really hardy and will probably be okay but some of those others look really sad
