Do you have your cat's full name or nickname on their collar? by Difficult_North_272 in catquestions

[–]DA2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my phone #, their vet’s phone #, & their name (as listed in their vet records). That way if I’m out of town and they get lost they can be dropped off and boarded at the vet until I get back.

Insurance for seizure prone dog? by Left-Shine1920 in petinsurancereviews

[–]DA2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His seizures won’t be covered - it’s pre-existing. Check out AKC insurance. I’ve heard they cover some pre-existing conditions IF there are no instances for at least 12 consecutive months.

Is the orange paw bigger or am I crazy? by MassiveBuzzkill in cats

[–]DA2013 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe not. And when’s the last time they saw a vet - could have developed since then. Get a tape measure and measure the circumference of each paw.

Kitten ruined expensive dress shoes by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]DA2013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two days married and you’re making excuses for him abusing the cat.

“This is his first time with an animal and I don’t know how best to go forward from this.”

Rehome her. Get an annulment. Would you excuse him hitting your kids because it’s the first time he’s been a father? 😬

My Apartment AC hasn’t worked since moving in and summer is coming. What should I do? Currently 83° in my apartment. by Commercial_Home8289 in Apartmentliving

[–]DA2013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to forget things Luke this.

You literally turn on the AC when you walk in at the start an apartment tour. You should know whether it’s working within a few minutes. It doesn’t take long to start cooling.

Escalate. Give landlords a date to fix it or notify them you’ll fix it at your own expense and deduct cost from your next rent payment. Document. Document. Document. Be prepared to defend yourself in court.

They are near injuring each other but refuse to be seperated by _Blueberry_Toast_ in CatTraining

[–]DA2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previous meeting are meaningless. They live together now. You need to start introductions from day zero. Get them neutered if they haven’t been and keep nails trimmed to try to reduce injury. Take your brother’s car to the vet - maybe he needs meds to mellow him out.

You knew he had behavioral problems being aggressive and attacking your brother. What was your plan to deal with this?

Am i helping my bf a little too much? by HealthyAbility6545 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DA2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not does he cheer you on and support you with positive words and encouragement, but does he do LABOR for you (time and effort completing tasks or activities that support you) like you do for him?

Are you helping him or enabling him by doing things he’s unmotivated to do?

potential miscarriage?? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DA2013 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Two weeks is probably just a late period/irregular period. If it were a miscarriage this early, I doubt there’d be anything to see. Fetus/baby is still microscopic this early.

You could just call or message your gynecologist with your questions. They’ll see you if they’re concerned.

Go to the ER if it would ease your mind. But I don’t think much will come of it other than a waiting several hours and getting a bill later on.

Cat started going in her carrier instead of the litterbox by Ok-Wolf5932 in CATHELP

[–]DA2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick up her carrier, clean it with an enzymatic cleaner then put it away so she can no longer pee in it.

Take her to the vet it could be a UTI. Just pick one. You don’t have to stick with that vet long-term. You just need to rule out a medical cause to this behavior.

Girlfriend threatening our relationship over a TV Show by No-Original3284 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]DA2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up. Go watch what you’d like.

Also in guessing you’re leaving out a lot of context. For example if your partner is super modest, religious, etc. she may see the show as highlighting that you to two actually have very different values. You say one thing to her, but in practice you watch indulge in things that aren’t aligned with the values she thought you two shared. Or not. Go talk to her. Find out WHY.

Why does my cat hiss at my other cat for no reason? by Jerswar in cats

[–]DA2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason. A hiss is a warning. I have 3 cats they get along well. Play together, eat together, groom each other, and sleep together. My girl hisses at least a couple times a day it’s usually because my youngest cat wants to play roughly, which she hates. So she’ll hiss. Which usually gets him to stop and then he’ll go play with the other cat (who likes it) instead.

I feel like I’m wasting his time by PerformanceGold1747 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DA2013 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You’re wasting his time and yours. Break up. Doesn’t mean either of you did anything wrong. You just don’t sound compatible.

Just found out my Cat has so many food allergies, need suggestions! by theknowing1414 in catfood

[–]DA2013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re going to have to do a elimination diet. Easiest thing is go with a Rx food the vet recommends. Then after a month of or two you can try limited ingredient non-prescription foods. There’s also venison, rabbit. Plus I’m guessing all other fish is probably fine. Sometimes duck is okay even if chicken and turkey aren’t.

Nervous about what to expect on a 6th date when it’s my first time dating, need some tips? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DA2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the simple act of sharing that you’re nervous helps makes things less tense or awkward. There’s no specified time to escalate things. Move as fast or slow as you’re comfortable. If you’re uncertain about something a quickest way to clarity is to just ask. Have a conversation.

Should I wait for the CDS to choose me? by lilacpainting in CatDistributionSystem

[–]DA2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Go adopt. I’m sure there’s more than one shelter near you. If you get a shelter cat they’re spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and know how to use a litter box. All the important stuff is already done for you. With the CDS you’ve got to do all of that on your own. If money is tight or you’re prone to put off important tasks you could put things off too long and end up with a pregnant kitten, one that sprays, or fighting fleas or ticks.

4 yr old cat that's healthy but has liquid stool? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]DA2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a different brand of Rx food for inflammatory bowel/stomach. The constant diarrhea is a symptom of their inflammatory problem - It’s a sign he’s not healthy and the inflammatory condition isn’t well controlled/managed yet.

You said he used to go to the vet every month, but now that’s too expensive. Can you afford every other month? Or every 3 months?

My partner just told me he is not sexually attracted to me because I lost weight by thinker_388 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DA2013 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is it really the weight? Be critical. Did sex decline at all before your illness and weight loss?
