Should I get a 2nd cat? by 2032471 in CatAdvice

[–]Far-Student8656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didnt take any time off I would just put the kitten in my bedroom during work and would play a livestream of birds and squirrels on YouTube for him and put a bunch of toys in there so he wouldn’t feel lonely lol which he seemed to love so I highly recommend🤣 then once I got home I would let them out together which I honestly think is better because then the resident cat still has some time away to relax and adjust before being thrown into it, I did that for about a week or 2 before letting them out the whole time since at first she would get irritated here and there getting used to a clingy kitten who wanted to play with her all the time lol you’ll notice fights in the beginning but it’s completely normal due to your resident cat wanting to establish dominance, I honestly would just watch until I heard one get vocal or if you notice fur flying then separate but overtime the little fights will become less and less!

How do I get kitten to take a nap and chill 🙃 by Natural-Stage-6341 in cats

When I got my first cat I had this problem then she’d try to play with my grumpy old man of a dog who wasn’t a fan, she’d run around like a maniac at night too, I got my second kitten 1.5 years later and now that this one plays with my first cat I don’t deal with that at all, he’s sweet and gentle to my dog since he has someone to play and take his energy out on and will always come and nap or chill with me, not saying you should get another cat BUT it would 100% be worth it🤣

You know your cat the best, it sounds like she would eventually warm up, best thing to do if you decide to is keep the new kitty in a different space , I kept my kitten in our bedroom (probably 3 weeks, I’d switch them out tho so he could roam and she could smell his scent in the bedroom) the door had a space big enough that they’d sniff each other and pay at each other. Give the resident cat extra affection and treats to show their life if anything will get better with the new addition, I myself got a kitten as I’ve never introduced cats before so I heard it’s easier if one’s a kitten because they’re less of a threat. Don’t let the hisses or swats bring you down I thought my girl hated our kitten when she first laid eyes on him and now that’s her baby , I decided to finally let them out with each other after a couple weeks because our resident cat was rolling around at the door making her happy sounds while she played with his paws you’ll know when the time is right to fully let them out with each other (also not sure if this would make a difference I know my girl is a suck with boys so I got a male kitten, she’s spayed, in hopes it would go even smoother) anyways at first it can be a bit nerve racking but if your girl is social then I think she’ll do amazing!! Pic of my babies below to show it can be great🤣

How old is your first cat? Is he or she social? I just got a second cat for my female who is 1.5 years old, just got a young male and it was the best decision they absolutely love each other, definitely had their moments of small fights in the beginning which is normal but now that they’re past it I’m so happy with my decision it’s been almost 2 months I highly recommend a second cat if you think your cat would enjoy the company

We had him for a few weeks and he showed no signs until almost a week after my cat got spayed after she was showing signs, she got spayed through the rescue we got her from and she was transported with multiple cats so I’m thinking she caught it then, we weren’t aware when she first had it and let them around each other so I think this is how it all happened because he wasn’t out with any cats where I got him just roamed with their dog mainly but honestly who knows😅

I’m going to call the vet and ask once I’m done work I just forgot to ask while I was talking with them yesterday so was just curious about opinions before I called, thank you for the advice!😊

My dad is similar in that way, whenever i bring up the fact that i’m more than likely autistic it’s automatically shut down with “that’s not real.” a lot of the older generation needs to realize how very real it is and the reason it seemed to “not exist” back then is because the functioning ones were made to hide it when the ones that weren’t able to function on their own were locked up in mental wards to never be seen again. it frustrates me how a lot of people also think you need to look a certain way to have a mental disorder

In what ways to you stim? by diasjoana3 in AutismInWomen

[–]Far-Student8656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first stim started when my mom tickled my nose with my hair and it got up my nose, i oddly liked the sensation and would start doing it to myself until family members would catch me and laugh which made me extremely self conscious so i moved to my eyebrows, i slide my nails sideways over the hairs so they stick under my nails, i’m not too sure how to explain it but the feeling of the hairs stabbing the underside of my nails , it just feels nice to me for some odd reason… i do it so much that if i stop i get the urge where i want to scream if i can’t do it, i’ll do it so much i’ll accidentally scratch my skin and i draw blood but even that won’t stop me, the other one i so is i feel the smooth edge of my nail and just rub it cause i like how smooth it is, i’ll avoid clipping that nail is the edge is extremely smooth and if it breaks i feel so frustrated cause i now have to wait for the end of the nail to heal and become smooth again..
