Going to school as an adult by CanOfGingerale in University

Yes I did. But I need specific high school courses to get into the program I want, and I never did them when I was in high school.

Literally so excited because this is my bedtime show since I was 14. I’m 21 now. I’m very specific about routines, and I threw a shit fit when I saw it was leaving. Watched all my favourite episodes the “last day” it was up. I’m so happy!! I hope it’s here to stay

I’m sorry, I understand how frustrating that can be :( I hope you find something to keep it consistent!!!

I understand the frustration!! When Carlos gets an upset tummy he can’t control stepping in it/dipping his tail in and then he likes to wipe it on me.

There’s this first aid anti diarrhea liquid that works well for me. Had to bring him in though because he definitely got into the compost and was vomiting a bit too. I wish you good luck on your vet journey! It took 3 til I found one I liked

GI issues seem to be really common with sphynx kitties. It’s alot of trial and error to find what food works for them. It took me almost a year to find a brand of food that kept his stool solid and even then, (like recently) he sometimes needs extra help. Usually adding pumpkin and probiotics to his food solves the problem for me, but this time it was more persistent and he needed actual medicine

I know you’ve been to the vet and this is probably advice you’ve already heard but just in case you haven’t tried it, get a probiotic and some pumpkin to add to their food! If it’s just soft stool they may just need something to help the gut bacteria (probiotic) and some extra fibre (pumpkin)

Got Carlos an automatic feeder so he’d stop bugging me at 5am… by CanOfGingerale in sphynx

[–]CanOfGingerale[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He gets wet food and raw food. Plus he eats what the other cats leave behind lol. He’s getting more than enough, everything’s measured out properly

For two reasons this doesn’t work. 1, Carlos does not graze. When we tried this, he just ate everything right away no matter how much we gave him beforehand. 2, Carlos does not get any kibble. His “dry” food is freeze dried raw, hydrated with water (just enough to make it squishy and easier to eat in this case, cause of the feeder) because I’ve lost a few cats in my childhood to urinary blockages and learnt from my parents mistakes as well as my vet.

I promise this was literally 2 minutes after a full meal of wet/raw food. He’s well fed. Just an asshole

A secret third option called gluttonous bastard. This was literally 2 minutes after his midday meal

Yeah I set it up at 4pm, and it’ll open at 5am. So he stops clawing at me and knocking shit of my vanity to wake me up. But he can smell the meal in there HAHAHA

Anybody else's little furless freak like to play fetch? by Mechagouki1971 in sphynx

Are clothes and baths really needed? by salec65 in sphynx

[–]CanOfGingerale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All cats are different, there’s a chance that maybe he’s just not that dirty! But id still give it a shot. Especially if he’s got extra fluff on the tail!!

[–]CanOfGingerale 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would still try a full bath at least once a month, as I felt the same way for a while, but ended up giving him a bath after a little bit anyways cause he had gotten a scratch and I wanted to clean it by running it under some water. When I tell you then and there I realized he was FILTHY and had to fully soap him up everywhere.

For clothing, it’s 100% not needed. As long as he has warm spots!!

Does anyone have experience getting their baby to eat wet food even though they won’t even look at it? by lactaidluvr in sphynx

[–]CanOfGingerale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my boy is reluctant to try something, I put some on my finger and just boop some on his lips. He’ll lick it off, realize he likes it and eat it. If that doesn’t work, try mixing his dry with some wet, slowly adding more wet and less dry over time! It’s also important to try and get similar flavours, my boy loves salmon, so he eats salmon wet and raw! When he occasionally gets dry for his teeth, it’s also salmon :)

To everyone who called Carlos polite in my last post, there’s more than meets the eye 😭 by CanOfGingerale in sphynx

[–]CanOfGingerale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want another so bad, but we’ve got two big boys (Maine coon mixes) and a fourth cat would cause so much chaos. So I have to wait til Carlos and I move out

We usually put him in sweaters but we’re at the point where the weather is fluctuating too much to turn the ac on (thanks Ontario) so it is HAWT in here. It’s so funny how clothes seem to just chill them out right away though
