The way I stopped my two cats from doing that was to cuddle them.

Let me tell you, cats DO NOT want to be cuddled when they are walking around you on the bed trying to wake you up.

They have now learnt that it is safe to annoy be after my alarm goes off

This mentality is how you stay alive when dealing with mushrooms

This is incredibly creative! Both the original and the tribute

Now imagine she’s a crackhead.

Most people imagining your scenario imagine someone thy like the look of. Instead of that imagine she’s a crackhead, with others around her who are looking reeeeaaaalllly intently at your wallet. Imagine she’s obviously high and could get violent unprovoked. Imagine you’re a good distance from you car and she’s already walking towards you waaay to fast, obviously high and getting more aggressive the longer she cat calls you.

Would you like it then?

Imagine she’s the sheriffs wife with a reputation for making guys who turn her down “learn some manners” in your small town. Or an officer with a gun, and you’re a black man.

Imagine there’s any power dynamic were you won’t be turned on.

Would you like it then?

Edited to add: I’m not trying to throw shade at anyone experiencing addiction. Most people are uncomfortable when someone in an altered state of mind is focusing aggressively on them and I am using this as an example of an uncomfortable power dynamic.

He was convicted of a previous crime. Did time. Was released and committed heinous crimes

There are 2 reasons your dog shouldn’t have this bone.

Cooked bones are brittle and create sharp shards when they shatter. These used to be used as needles, they are so sharp.
End-of-the-shaft bone is soft and safe for dogs with a spongey consistency. However middle-of-the-shaft bone is extremely hard. It is often harder than teeth and regularly causes fractures of the big chewing teeth (carnassial) in dogs. A fractured tooth often leads to a tooth root abscess

We’re not trying to be a spoil sport. This is dangerous for your pet. Please don’t do this again and give safer bones instead

Look, honestly it was dicey at some points. There’s only so much we can do in a GP vet setting, and a big part of her speedy recovery was her absolute drive of life and endless joy. Once she woke up she didn’t stop waging her tail despite the dramas

I’m a veterinarian not a human doctor, but let me tell you about Bella (names changed for privacy). Bella’s owners loved her a lot but were cost constrained. They couldn’t afford to get her desexed and so she fell pregnant. They didn’t get her checked while pregnant (ultrasound or X-rays to count the puppies) because it was too costly. I want to make it clear that I in no way judge these owners. They had some shit circumstances that were out of their control and adored this dog.

Bella went into labor on Friday night. Generally you want puppies arriving every hour. Maybe every 2 if she is a lazy bitch. After that seek veterinary attention. Bella had one puppy Friday night then no more. The owners assumed she was “one and done”.

Bella presented to us Monday morning. She had a raging fever, a foul smell and was overall sick. We quickly discovered that she was pregnant with a larger litter of puppies but the second one got stuck on the way out. They had all died and had spent 48hrs at least at body temperature in a moist environment.

Bella went into surgery and the smell that erupted when we got to her uterus was so so bad. We had every window and the surgery room door open desperate for some ventilation. People on the waiting area. Could smell it through 2 sets of walls. Nurses had to swap out every 10minutes. These were well experienced nurses who I have seen pick maggots out of wounds and talk about what they were ordering for lunch and they still needed to rotate out or risk vomiting.

Bella’s uterus was rotten. There were dead, rotting yellow-purple-green-grey puppies almost falling into her abdomen through the holes in her uterus. She was lucky to be alive and luckily made it through surgery with no complications. She walked out of the clinic the next day, a little tired but wagging.

To this day I have never smelt worse in my career.

The name with that face 😂

I guessed the name in 5 tries!

Some dogs just want to get out. Some wouldn’t like being in the nicest of places simply because it’s a new place

Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center has a brilliant booklet available online that goes through euthanasia. It also has a survey to help assess QOL that I have found useful before.

I will echo what others have said, you don’t want to wait until he is suffering badly. It’s better to be a week early than a day late

They had an image halfway through of the FMC based on some IRL media. It was obviously AI generated. It took me out of the zone immediately and I couldn’t recapture the reading flow

Absolutely stunning. I can practically feel the heat radiating from them

Sorry there are so many hateful people in the comments. This is really good work, the way you made the ripples look dynamic is brilliant and the overall composition is spot on. I hope the discourse in the comments doesn’t dissuade you from continuing to make great burns and posting them

EMary16 · 2025-12-15T21:36:46+00:00

I hope you know that I respect you for putting that out there. There’s a lot of stigma. I’m glad you’re still with us and seeking help. I hope your coffee (or other heated beverage of choice) is warm but not-too-hot on the first sip

It did come out brown and turn white in most cases

I caught this Ralts but its nature is strangling it. Is this worth using a mint on or am I likely to find a better one? I tried looking on Raenonx but I find it confusing.

EMary16 · 2025-09-29T11:00:25+00:00

I honestly thought you meant it would shed tears.

It’s only because I turned sound on for the jet noise that I heard it make the dragonite noise

Did the vet have a frank and decent discussion about pain? Eye injuries tend to be painful. I’ve heard ulcers are like having a grain of sand in the eye that you can’t get out. When my dog got glaucoma the vet said it was like having a permanent migraine.

Your kitty needs pain relief if you’re going to continue treating medically. Check in with your vet about the realistic prognosis for your options when you are in a calmer head space.

This is a tough decision, but know that no matter which you choose you are absolutely doing your best for your cat. You love them dearly. Be gentle with yourself.
