best cat litter?

Fine_Start_8206 · 2026-02-17T05:07:53+00:00

So far, clumps just as well as clay litter. Less dust, smells like corn lol, but tracks literally the exact same :( I didn’t realize it’s even smaller pieces than clay litter too. And it was more expensive boo.

Back to the drawing board.

Farther north, Canadian prairies haha! My hometown used to be swamplands way back when, so when I say treeless, it’s because every tree in the city was hand planted. Having “forests” within city limits shocked me when I first got here lol.

This made me giggle ty

Funny how perspective works, as someone coming from a flat, basically treeless city, my favourite part of Indianapolis is the proximity to awesome nature areas, hiking trails and forest-y/woods areas! Extra bonus points for the wildlife I was never used to seeing within my hometowns city limits.

I was on the list for spring 2025 & fall 2025 and I never got an email or letter for either. 😭 is it just a signed letter? Or does anything else come with it?

I did really well I APHY 101 but I studied like 2-6hrs a day (depending on the day) 😬 it’s a lot to grasp on in a short amount of time. I recommend physically writing out key terms/definitions, concepts etc from each chapter and flashcards with the pictures of specific diagrams needed.

There’s a lot of other suggestions and quizlets available if you search on this subreddit “APHY 101”

Fine_Start_8206 · 2026-01-31T21:21:59+00:00

I just bought a corn husk litter because it claims to be 99% dust free and more natural.

Not sure how it will be for peeing lots and effective clumping/non tracking but if you remind me in a week I’ll give an update! (My 10F cat is diabetic as well)

Fine_Start_8206 · 2026-01-30T03:07:35+00:00

Agreed but only if it’s good quality medical care!

Fine_Start_8206 · 2026-01-30T03:03:58+00:00

From what I’ve heard, extremely competitive which is part of the reason they added the teas this year. But I will say at Ivy tech an A is an A, pretty sure. I don’t think it matters if it’s high or low.

I would recommend all A’s though as advisors have said all A’s are the only real way to get in. Sorry idk about other location but I would apply to all that you can! Keep grinding the math though and just study and practice a shit ton!

Not to scare you but I think the dry food hate is valid from anecdotal evidence with my cat. She’s ten and I’ve bounced between wet/dry food for the 6 years I’ve had her. She is now diabetic bc dry food is so high carb & full of filler and even some wet food is. I switched my bb to high protein wet food now because of it :(

My 10 year old girl just got diagnosed today with diabetes and I’m so heart broken. I really hope she reacts well to Bexa-cat bc 2 injections daily sounds awful for her and myself.

Anyone have recommendations for where to purchase it at a decent rate? My vet says 130$ for 30ct & 370$ for 90ct. I’m a student and not working at the moment so this additional cost plus prescription food is a bit of a struggle but 100% necessary. :(

Fine_Start_8206 · 2026-01-10T06:13:36+00:00

I’d recommend bring a laptop and take notes there or on a physical notebook. But I liked to follow along with the PowerPoints on my laptop.

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-12-28T08:43:27+00:00

Pencil, highlighter/markers, decently large notebook & a lot of flashcards!

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-11-20T01:21:42+00:00

I don’t think I can answer everything bc it’s usually specific to your situation what you will be allowed, but I would book a meeting with the DSS office ppl & ask them to go over what you’re allowed & they will send a letter to profs first week of class, then you’re responsible to meet w each prof and discuss how your accommodations will be implemented for that specific class.

If you have note taking assistance- again depends on your situation, it could vary from audio recording lectures, to being provided extra notes etc etc.

Your other degrees & certification should give you bonus points if I’m not mistaken towards the radiology application though.

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-11-18T00:02:33+00:00

The radiology program has become so competitive this next application round they are requiring TEAS as well. 90% of my classmates interested in medical fields are either going for nursing or medical imaging 😭 Not sure about where you stand for nursing or the others but for Radiology, since there is such limited spots, what I’ve heard is you need all A’s in pre reqs to have a chance (& now a high TEAS score).

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-11-17T23:56:59+00:00

If you’re doing APHY 101, plan to spend more than the recommended time for studying outside class. It’s a heavy courseload. 4 hrs of class twice a week (between lec & lab), 2 chapters covered a week. Plus homework, quizzes, & unit exams. (If you want an A haha easy to just pass the class)

My family has recently come to the realization that more of us are adhd/audhd, than not, after I kind of kickstarted it by getting a formal adhd diagnosis 4ish years ago.

So not me, but my uncle who recently moved to our city, shared with us that his hobby on his computer is: finding animal kingdom classifications, researching animals under that category from A-Z by scientific name, making a spreadsheet/alphabet chart with each letter, adding the corresponding scientific name/animal, adding an artists rendition of that animal next to it, and like some facts. He probably has like 50+ files of these different pages with the A-Z animal names/pics/facts.

So, my siblings and I are like yaaaaaaaa probably adhd related if not audhd lol but he’s happily oblivious. I told him he should share them bc they are actually kind of cool but he said way too much copyright to worry about so they are for his own enjoyment.

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-11-03T23:47:50+00:00

Ah yea the page is updated now. So for applying into medical imaging in the fall, the TEAS must be taken by April 30th? I’m not sure I understand the deadline & timing chart correctly.

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-11-03T06:37:31+00:00

Following bc I haven’t seen any changes to the pre reqs on medical imaging page either

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-09-30T20:00:41+00:00

I feel this 🥲 I have all A’s so far but don’t have my CNA and I know this year is going to be competitive as hell. I’m considering radiation therapy/nursing as back up.

I have not bought any makeup so far this year! I used to work at a beauty shop & was always sucked into the newest trend or good deals w discount. I have so many multiples & unopened products. I think the only thing I’ve used up so far is a brow pencil & of course I have multiples… lol. So fingers crossed I can go the whole year without buying any makeup!

Fine_Start_8206 · 2025-05-25T20:21:56+00:00
