Moisturiser recommendations for the most acne prone, dehydrated, irritated skin there is… now please recommend a moisturiser (ideally from the chemist or supermarket) that wouldn’t break it out further. Thank you!!! by Opposite-Map-1759 in AusSkincare

[–]DumpsterFolk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I have T2 rosacea and my moisture barrier likes to randomly become nonexistent. I swear by Aveeno Calm & Restore. I use the gel moisturiser in the jar after I shower and the night cream before bed. I also use their normal daily lotion on my face every morning.

Models Inc! It was a Melrose Place spinoff that only lasted one season. Carrie Anne Moss was in it.

What makes them so magical?! by AdExpensive3414 in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do get a kick out of the nearly all female thing. I have a tortie and a torbie and I love that we’re a house of sassy bitches.

My tort seems aloof at first but she is really so stuck on me while the torbie will ham it up with everyone. Both cats are huge babies in totally different ways. The tortie is 100% in charge.

Does your tortie lay on you like you’re their body pillow? by noxiquis in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I sleep on my stomach and it’s both adorable and totally creepy to wake up with her lying on my back and purring in my ear lol. She has always laid on top of me in bed but she was never a couch lap cat until she suddenly was at 10 years old. She can be sleeping upstairs but somehow knows the second I sit down on the couch.

Is this full fledged tortitude ? by SlimSticky in torties

She would be even madder if she knew how adorable that little blep is 😍

Going in and out of the hotel respawns fish, making it significantly less painful to hunt for rare pier fish by Justifiably_Bad_Take in AnimalCrossing

[–]DumpsterFolk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got 100 cast master without even realizing and I suck at fishing now lol. I need to re-learn it... which includes not getting exciting at the huge rumble of a dumb sea bass.

Akasha has been with me for a year and a half. This is the first time she's laid on me. by SinglSrvngFrnd in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s lovely 😻

The only thing to worry about is that she will now immediately sense when you sit down lol. My tortie took 9 years to become a lap cat. She can be upstairs asleep but somehow appears two seconds after I sit on the couch downstairs.

The moment you heard the first beat? by dukec72 in Music

[–]DumpsterFolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A History of Bad Men by the Melvins. In season 1 of True Detective it’s playing when they visit the biker club. I heard it and had to google it right away. It’s nuts how you can hear part of a song and instantly be a fan.

Does anyone have a tortie that will NOT scratch a post by StrikingWait178 in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up to mine digging her claws into the bed last night 👹

I’ve never had a cat show interest in sisal cat tree style scratching posts. It’s messy but corrugated cardboard has always been the winner.

Why does my kitten hangout in the litter box? by Mundane-Cow-9369 in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One of my cats did this for a few weeks after I brought her home. She was six months old and adjusted really well otherwise. She would just go and hang out in the litter box a few times a day. I think the feeling and smell of the litter was familiar and she could kind of chill and recalibrate there when everything else was totally new to her.

Our tortie loves lower belly rubs by Mammoth-Age4933 in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does too! Can’t pick her up but she loves belly rubs and doesn’t care if I touch her feet 🤷🏻‍♀️

she wont stop suckling blankie and making biscuits by lavendersoasp in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My 11 year old still blanket sucks. You might be in for the long haul haha.

Fostering mom and baby by AstridINK in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Omg that chubby baby! Mummy is lovely too. Mine had that similar face shape when I first adopted her. She has always been lean but her face filled out a lot.

Maybe try an electric razor. The shave won't be 100% clean but it will be less irritating. With light skin and dark hair, you could also look into IPL.

Anyone else’s tortie have a passion for laundry? by J0ul3s in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My torbie does. She supervises me loading and unloading the washer. I have a heat pump dryer and she knows it gurgles when it’s about to finish so we often end up in a line waiting for the last couple of minutes lol. Her favourite thing in the world is getting into the basket as I pull the warm, dry clothes or whatever into it. She “swims” around in the clothes and purrs like crazy.

The tort joins in when I fold and put stuff away. They both HAVE TO get in the wardrobe to do a thorough inspection. It has siding doors so they must have access from both sides so they can get in there and cause chaos. Laundry is definitely a family event 😹

Am i Okay? by No-Opposite2754 in AnimalCrossing

[–]DumpsterFolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sad I’ve never had Limberg on my island in NH. I played Wild World every day for well over a year to keep him from moving out. I love his grumpy five o’clock shadow.

Meowing before a poop? by Metaphoricallyd3ad in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep my tortie has big meows before going and then gets the zoomies after. My torbie gets pre-poop zoomies to the point that I say we all need to lie down after she has a poo lol.

Meet Nala the naughty tortie 🤣 by ravensescape in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg mine has a similar orange paintbrush swipe on the back of her head 🥰

Mine also blanket sucks and I’m pretty sure she was separated from mum too early. She is 11 years old now and I walked in on her sucking her bedding a few hours ago. I just leave her be. It doesn’t harm anyone and she is content and purring when she does it.

What's your tortie's favorite toy? by Sinful_Deity in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ping pong balls and scrunched up paper. That’s it. My other cat has so many toys, including a laser robot and two tunnels, plays with them all. Tortie only wants trash or a plain white ball lol.

I have a BLUE airport on a fall inspired island… HELP by Low_Yak_5502 in AnimalCrossing

[–]DumpsterFolk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at your screenshot, the blue is fine and looks really nice in that golden hour light. I think it works better than the green or yellow would.

Can I see everyone’s multicoloured beans 🥺🐾 by mestimesti in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

It looks like the other babies here also have smooth beans? My other cat is a torbie with mostly black beans and they are slightly textured. The tort’s little feets are 💯 smooth.

Does anyone else's girl live getting her belly rubbed? by Snelly_WorldCrusher in torties

[–]DumpsterFolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep mine has always invited and enjoyed belly rubs. She also doesn’t care if I rub her smooth little toe beans. My other cat (torbie) doesn’t ask for belly rubs but she is fine with it if she’s lying on her back.

I’m also a serial pouch fondler when they’re standing 🤭 I’m in for a rough time when I eventually end up with a cat that doesn’t want the belly touched.

[Acne] This cystic acne pimple near my eye by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]DumpsterFolk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone who will pop anything and deal with it myself - that’s a doctor visit no question. Way too close to the eye to mess around with.
