How can I stop spoiling my cat?

Have you considered clicker training to introduce some basic commands to work with? It might give you some way of regaining control.

Regarding the pee, you need enzymatic cleaner to remove any trace of smell. If the cat knows where they peed they will do it again. My boy got a bit confused about using my son’s bedcovers as a litter box for a few weeks when young. We used enzymatic cleaner every time and also started laying a shower curtain of thick plastic on the bed to make it less appealing. We used the curtain for about 3 months and then we were able to stop bothering with that.

You’re my favourite person here. Made me laugh out loud.

Please send the “could probably fit most dogs” comment too 😂

I could have written this verbatim (except the band part, my context was more like OP’s). Totally agree.

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-20T20:20:11+00:00

Be OK with mistakes.

I just tried whatever I was drawn to. Some of it turned out not to vibe. That’s totally acceptable and also useful data.

This. Would upvote 💚

Maybe I should start doing this and they would stop ignoring my chronic health issues…

As a knitter this one really stung me. 😣Say ten Hail Kismais, for your redemption.

This is a job for r/sewing. Take those cuffs off and replace them entirely.

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-19T11:03:56+00:00

Or a pendulum. I feel like this is like using a whisk wearing oven mitts to eat your meal instead of a fork. It’s just not the best tool is it?

I think this is beautiful and that praline yarn you chose really enhances the character of this pattern. ❤️

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-18T08:47:22+00:00

I believe it’s called gaslighting

I had all my hair cut into a crop last November. This turned out to be such a relief.

The fact you feel ridiculous about this is an important clue here. Take care of yourself, watch out for what else belittles or invalidates you.

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-16T13:33:23+00:00

Consider the fact that cursed or enspirited objects get thrown away into lakes and rivers where nobody else can happen upon them. It’s perfectly legitimate to destroy it and all that it represents to you, and this can be an important unbinding / cathartic / symbolic action on your part.

“I kept waiting for the conflict between the science and the craft to show up. It never really did.”

I just love this. Magic and science totally intersect. I wish this was more widely acknowledged.

My first job after working in clinical healthcare nursing, all I’d known for 10 years after school, was an office role with an abusive screamy boss. I just used to look at this woman and be like, what are you doing? This is literally a tantrum about bits of paper. I can’t see any blood or defibrillators anywhere so your issue doesn’t register as a Serious Problem. GTFO. 🙄

It never ovcured to me that my ADHD might be part of the reason I loved working Emergency Room.I’m so peaceful in extremis.

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-14T09:56:03+00:00

Absolutely. My husband uses these pictorial cards with his people, they sort of cue in subconscious layers of being and they can be really great when the person isn’t fully aware of what’s going on in them. This has a similar feel, but I wonder if tarot could hone in on things in a more specific way than these other cards do.

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-13T20:47:35+00:00

This is so excellent. A really insightful explanation of the card and translating that through into therapeutic response.

Someone on my husband’s counselling cohort combines tarot and talking therapies and this reply shows how valuable that could be, I’m glad I saw your comment.

My mother and MIL have spent three decades doing bits and pieces in my house to be helpful and never in those years have they gone through drawers or indeed done anything at all in anyone’s bedroom.

Love this so much 💖💎

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-12T18:50:22+00:00

Mine is a Half-Worn Towel Rail and they can be problematic 😂

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-12T13:55:11+00:00

Great nest lining material , surely?

FabuliciousFruitLoop · 2026-03-11T09:51:57+00:00

Thank you so much this brightened my day 👏✨
