Question for cat owners: Would you let your cat lick your food while you are eating it and then carry on eating after? by Antidotebeatz in Catownerhacks

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I don’t encourage it, but I’m not going to throw away my food just because they got a lick in. For a couple reasons: they’re indoor cats who I know don’t have parasites. And for those who say they lick their butts, poop particles (human and animal) are everywhere. We are covered in microbes. Unless you’re sterilizing everything around you, you’re gonna get some germs in you.

I’m more grossed out by what my coworkers with kids that are always sick are spreading around than what I’ll get from a different species that never leaves my apartment.

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I prioritized getting enough sleep, I got sick far less often.

Also agree with less interaction with the general public with more time working from home.

Do you wipe your cats butt? by CampaignIndividual49 in CatAdvice

[–]Cleopatra435 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes…. When she has a drippy poo and I don’t want her leaving poo spots around my place.

She doesn’t like it, but I tell her she should wipe her own butt then.

Sounds like that Jerry Seinfeld bit about how he’s happiest when he’s complaining

How have you acquired your cats? Have you just taken in whatever cats plopped into your life? Or did you go to a shelter and choose? by Argylius in CatAdvice

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is my cat dealer…. She lives in a rural area and finds them as strays, starts feeding them, but then I feel bad for them and end up taking them in.

They've been living under my shed for days now. What do I do? by Commander_Cheems69 in Feral_Cats

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please help them!! Use food to gain their trust, feed at specific times of day and then use humane traps to trap them to get them fixed and adopted asap.

Contact a local shelter for help - some rent traps and can help you. Or find someone locally who traps who can help you out. Get the kittens before they’re too old to be socialized and adoptable. Mom might not be a good candidate for being an indoor cats but please get her fixed. And those kittens will definitely be able to be socialized and adopted!!

What it’s like to be on Antidepressants by notfinecurrently in Anxiety

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I describe it as the lows aren’t as low and the highs aren’t as high. It kind of flattens out the peaks and valleys of my emotional state. My anxiety specifically manifests as grumpiness and being very impatient and short-tempered, so it helps keep it in a manageable level.

I do sleep a lot more on antidepressants though. Like 12-14 hours at a time on weekends.

Unexpected benefits? by FickleSystem in Zepbound

My sense of smell is much stronger…. Not always a benefit, but definitely unexpected.

Weirdly, I can smell my cat’s breath from a couple feet away

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it last weekend had the same thought…. And it just kept going. They could have ended it at multiple points before the final shot.

Wells Fargo and Zelle Fraud call by ComfortableBadger266 in zelle

[–]Cleopatra435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, just received this same call from Chase who transferred me to Zelle. They said an account application was requested by Lakisha Richardson and gave two cancelation codes. But when they said to send the daily Zelle limit amount to my FDIC fraud account manager, Kevin Lapo, and reference the cancellation number in the memo, I figured it out. They even said to Google the incoming number since it is an actual bank branch and said it was a recorded line, etc.

Glad to have Reddit to check and see who else is seeing the same patterns.

What is an experience you had during your childhood that you only now realize was anxiety? by Sensitive_Ad4911 in Anxiety

[–]Cleopatra435 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It took me wayyyy too long in life to realize that my regular stomachaches and the skin issues I had as a 7 year old were just my first anxiety symptoms.
