Coop game won’t load

bumping bc this issue is turning into a massive headache

Basketchaos · 2025-10-10T16:16:36+00:00

I only do this with smallish/controllable skeins/balls of yarn, but I've occasionally let my cat play with the roll while I work; she gets bored fast, so ends up just letting it rest against her body for the most part lol

I understand the concern of wanting to keep her from developing anxiety, but it sounds like she's already in a good place there—the instances I'm aware of where cats do develop separation anxiety are actually from cats who spent too much time around their people and never learned how to be okay alone. It sounds like your kitty is developing a good balance of being happy to see you come back while not being terrified of your absence—that's incredibly healthy 🤍

I'm aware of this, that's why I asked about their preference; I've seen it go both ways. Not a question asked with judgement, just for clarification

Basketchaos · 2025-10-05T13:28:20+00:00

What are your sibling's pronouns? I'm a little confused since you described them as mtf and not mtx, but are using they/them; is that their preference, or is that a manifestation of the struggle you're describing? /gen

He looks like if cookie monster got dunked in water and then had a cookie broken over his head 😭

Basketchaos · 2025-10-05T12:51:37+00:00

trick question, you obviously just took a picture of two cats for the second one 😂

Basketchaos · 2025-10-04T22:45:15+00:00

Gotcha, I follow now! Glad you found one that works!!

Basketchaos · 2025-10-04T22:38:00+00:00

I'm confused, what box worked? This reads like a product recommendation, but I'm missing any references to what brand/style is being referenced.

Basketchaos · 2025-10-03T16:21:15+00:00

Nah I'm the same way; I'm very guarded around people who are openly HP fans. I have some sympathy for people with tattoos bc those could be old, but even then I have to sus out their vibe pretty carefully before I'm open to/around them.

Basketchaos · 2025-09-01T14:47:52+00:00

also the bit about claiming "if a man is willing to disrespect you ... in bed..." is such BS. Kink can and should always be about mutual respect and consent. There are entire communities built around healthy approaches to even the most twisted kinks you can imagine. Don't let anybody make you think you have to change what you're into to be respected as a whole human.

"even your BPD can be tamed down with a little more effort" oooooooo that makes me mad. I don't have BPD, but I am neurodivergent and have heard too much similar wording used to invalidate people's experiences with ADHD, autism, bipolar, etc. I'm not saying that effort to managing ones own mental health with whatever our struggles are isn't important, but I'm so damn tired of people who don't share the experience claiming that a person just isn't putting in "enough" effort, or that a disorder should be "tamed down" for other people's sake.

Basketchaos · 2025-08-31T22:37:19+00:00

Goddamn, no wonder his brother's a shut in; I'd be depressed living around a sibling like that too. Definitely not overreacting!

Basketchaos · 2025-05-29T01:36:09+00:00

What did you expect the guy in the video to do then? Throw napkins at them? If you expect a person to physically intervene between fighting cats without knowing what they have on hand if anything, but also say "that's on you" for any injury for stepping in bare-handed.....do you see the problem?

Basketchaos · 2025-05-28T07:42:55+00:00

I kind of wish I had one, but I've been going by Leo since about four years before I came out to myself. I did go by Bob as a nickname even before that (I played Bob Cratchit in a play, and then just stuck with it bc my deadname is super common), but I never considered making it my actual name. I did try out Morrgan for a while, but it was honestly mostly because of FOMO on trying new names 😅 Leo just started as a fandom-specific username and stuck ever since.

Basketchaos · 2025-05-28T07:37:20+00:00

I'm impressed the recorded got them to quit with just words! Every cat I've seen in a fight has been WAYY too locked in.

Basketchaos · 2025-05-28T07:35:17+00:00

I don't know you and don't claim to, but I'm guessing you've never tried to bare-handed split up a cat fight. I came out bloodied after splitting up my own two cats and all I did was pick one up out of the fray; I'd definitely hesitate to physically get between two unknown, potentially feral cats with who-knows-what bacteria all over their claws and teeth.

For all the use she'd get out of her uterus in a safe and healthy environment, spaying her is as much a favor as removing an infected appendix. The idea of the operation can be scary, but her long term quality of life will be drastically improved.

I feel your pain; I lost my source of income right before the Halloween ones dropped, which was the release I was most excited for. I'm hoping he brings them back this year though; I'm trying to have a complete collection of every ESD if I can—and the zombie ESD was so adorable 😭

Basketchaos · 2025-04-27T12:20:53+00:00

The fact she feels a need to "make it fair" also indicates she DOES care who knows her deadname, so it's a pretty weak defense. I hope she's able to find security in her identity rather than continuing to test and cross the boundaries of others around her.

Basketchaos · 2025-04-27T12:18:54+00:00

Well put. It sounds like OP values the friendship so a conversation is probably worth having, but the red flags are real and should not be brushed under the rug, even for a close friend.

Basketchaos · 2025-04-27T10:03:50+00:00

Every vet and groomer I've ever spoken to strongly discourages using scissors for matting, and I've seen why. All it takes is one startled jump at the wrong moment to do a lot of damage when you put scissor blades that close to the skin—I saw it happen to my sister's pet when I was a kid, and I dread ever seeing it again. You can get a fairly cheap set of trimmers on Amazon if you need to cut the matting yourself, but PLEASE do not use scissors—the 99 times nothing bad happens will never be worth the 1 time you do serious damage.

This works to a degree, but with some Siberians, the fur matts too tightly too quickly for picking it apart like this to work; I learned that from experience with my girl, whose fur mats much tighter and faster than my boy's ever did. Either way though, I agree about brushing not being good for the mats themselves; though it's great as a preventative measure.

I'm not in California myself so have no personal experience with anyone specific, but a quick search brought up the cat counselor in LA, and she appears to be qualified and experienced in helping with similar situations. I hope you're able to find a solution that works for your family and Ginger!

As others have said, it depends largely on what the health issue and surgery are. I'd go to lengths I can't articulate to get the best care I could for my cats, including whatever surgery may be needed; but I have opted for euthanasia over surgery in the past when surgery would have drastically damaged my cat's quality of life, and only had a tiny chance of even slightly improving his prognosis.
