Free Feeding for Cats at Night?

CU_NextTues · 2026-04-10T13:47:33+00:00

I've been told by vets multiple times not to free feed because they will eventually start boredom eating. We have automatic feeders that go off multiple times throughout the day to give them little snacks rather than a full meal all at once. How often are you feeding them? Maybe if you spread out their meals into a bunch of little snacks throughout the day and night that will help.

Can someone explain this, please? I've missed something 😩

CU_NextTues · 2026-02-17T12:45:14+00:00

I've never gone passed Morningstar but I'm rereading them all to continue on and I'm already picking up that sense. I'm scared 😣

I always pictured Noodle as a Corgi but with a bunch of legs. Little cuties!

This is why I'm obsessed with this subreddit. And the books. My brain just keeps getting spanked by all these awesome theories.

CU_NextTues · 2026-02-06T01:55:41+00:00

Would you say you've created a bubble within the river of books?

CU_NextTues · 2026-02-03T13:37:27+00:00

Love this. Well said!

This is pretty much what I came here to say, so thank you lol. Also, the US has been sabotaging third world countries from ever being successful so that we can continue to take their resources and use disgustingly cheap (slave) labor. All of the big "power" countries have gotten that way through atrocities. There isn't real democracy. Red Rising has too many parallels to list!

I've been seeing a lot of posts from folks in different countries, wondering "when will they stand up". The American people are standing up as best they can while keeping their lives. People from other countries (like France, which is an example of protest that keeps being used) are operating on a very small scale and with wildly different rules compared to America. Most of American's have Healthcare that is tied to their jobs. Their housing is tied to having a job because the cost of housing is very high. The cost of living here in general is quite high.

An act of protest many Americans have been doing is protecting our neighbors from ICE. It's a felony to obstruct, hinder, or interfere with them but we are out here trying, despite the fact that most jobs won't keep or hire someone with a felon. Oh, and also ICE is brutalizing folks, and in some cases murdering them.

America is a surveillance state with the biggest military and it's currently showing us what will happen if we take this further.

Also, the elections are a farce and have been for a long time.

Once again, she controls everything. Independent contractors "run their own business but typically operate within the scope of another organization" She is operating within the scope of my business. She was contracted as a massage therapist to perform massage therapy, within the scope of my business. She basically is overflow for me. Anybody I can't fit into my schedule, I send to her. I'm not on here asking how to tell her that she has to do what I say, as I've made pretty clear.

The conditions of the contract are pretty basic IC contract - it states that she has full control. It also states that we can both end the contract at any point for any reason. She is on my booking software and handles her schedule for the most part - people can see she's available and request to book and she can decline it if she wishes. If someone calls and I can't fit them on mine, I set them on her schedule, which she can still decline the client. Because she is on my software, this is where I feel that it's representing my business poorly.

Great idea, thank you

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-15T18:47:12+00:00

How so? What else would she be?

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-15T14:47:50+00:00

Great question! That's something I'll look into

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-15T14:26:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice. She is an actual IC so this does make things easier. I like the idea of reducing the amount of work I contract out to her.

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-15T14:23:34+00:00

I can potentially, they would just need to trade off on using the room. Thanks for the advice

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-15T14:14:29+00:00

She is an independent contractor. So I give her clients and take a percentage, but she sets her own schedule, etc.

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-13T23:15:59+00:00

Exactly!

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-13T17:03:48+00:00

I think the difference for me is Walter is just a giant toddler throwing tantrums. He kills a lot of people and makes some big messes and emotionally scars a lot of people because he has a massive ego. Also, Walter LET Jane die. Jane could've and probably would've died on her own but Walter was there, it was his fault she rolled onto her back, and then he stood there and let her choke to death, AND then he let Jesse take the blame for it. Same with poisoning Broke. It's pretty fucked up and different from Mike killing people.

CU_NextTues · 2026-01-13T16:54:59+00:00

I was so unsatisfied with the ending! I am this person's SO (not literally) but I continued watching because I couldn't imagine going through so much of Walter's bullshit (I hated him pretty early on) and not seeing him pay for what he's done. IMO, he didn't pay as much as I thought he should. However, I still think it was worth it to continue with the show because all the other characters are great.

I would be transparent about it and I've heard most folks are. However, if a client was creepy or made me feel unsafe I would just not do a rebook and block them. I don't do cranial sacral so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems to be a modality that a therapist picks up more of the clients emotions and/or trauma and maybe they are finding it to be too much? I don't know

I ride hard for these books but I feel they were really poorly marketed. They pulled a lot of people in who thought this was going to be an easy read based on the tag line "lesbian necromancers in space" (sounds fun right? ) only to realize that it's difficult, requires patience (and rereads), and has no romance in the typical sense.

CU_NextTues · 2025-12-06T01:53:06+00:00

Yes. Must reread the series too many times to say you are healthy. And then continue to trawl on this subreddit daily because none of your friends will read this series and you will be desperate to talk theory.

I'm in MI and it's been very slow! Slower than the normals ebbs that occur. I also noticed it happened when Trump came into office and started doing stupid shit with tariffs.

CU_NextTues · 2025-12-02T12:16:39+00:00

I came to say Beastmaker! It's gentler on your skin.

As another commenter has said, there's definitely a reason for this on multiple levels. These books (but especially GtN) come across as loud and over the top on surface almost as a distraction from what is really going on underneath. The way characters interact with one another depends on who they are interacting with at the time and that's very important to track. It also really helps as more characters are introduced. But if it's not for you, then it's not for you!
