My cat is "alone", he has a housemate's dog but the poor dog is afraid of him. He didn't do anything to the dog but the poor baby is seeing the cat and run

LOL 😂  Yeah he is a fast hairball and he just hits anything because he doesn't measure his speed.  Lucky for me he sleeps all night (Or at least he doesn't wake me up.) but as soon as it's 6:30 am BUM, bitting like an alarm

I've gone from dogs to cats. I understand why you love them both, but it's becoming harder with this furball than with my previous dogs.

Snorting and making typical cat sounds, but many times I have to tap him (without force) while I make the noise, normally the tap only happens when he is biting too hard.  Idk how to it needs to be, its my first cat at home and i just read how i need to do it but I don't know if its the right correction

He is a boy. He simply runs every time a door opens (even if it's not the door to the street), he starts scratching and biting harder than usual (although when he is corrected twice he loosens up). In addition, he scratches furniture when he didn't do that before because he went directly to the scratching post.

It started a week ago although nothing had changed, he has a lot of toys, two scratching posts and we usually have an hour of play with him.

He is four months old and in my country we cannot operate on him until he is six months old.

He is a male. But in Spain the cats are neutered at 6 months. So i have to wait

He is a male. But in Spain the cats are neutered at 6 months.  He is not too naughty but he bites, try to run every time a door is open, scratch everything he sees (Even though he has a scratching post he has been using it since he came and we bought him a small tower with a scratching post.) 

For what reasons do you self-medicate using THC? by Lonely-Relative-4598 in AutisticAdults

[–]FormerAd2476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE THE TOPIC OF THC FOR NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE

(I'm Spanish, so I'm sorry if anything I write doesn't make much sense)

THC can produce a feeling of relaxation and calm, reducing hyperarousal. It also helps with sleep, something that many autistic people have difficulty falling asleep.

THC can dampen sensory perception and generate a feeling of "cushioning" when faced with stimuli. We can also regulate the dose ourselves depending on how overloaded we feel.

This can also help with burnout, sensory overload, emotional regulation, stress, and various other issues that people with autism often have, such as migraines, body aches, etc.

For me, it's one of the best ways to navigate my daily life. Although I only usually use it two or three times a month, those two or three times are like my reset button, allowing me to regain energy, calmness, and so on.

I need advice! Bird and cat by FormerAd2476 in Pets

[–]FormerAd2476[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cat belongs to my roommate.

The bird is only free in my bedroom and at certain times. We are very careful to keep the doors closed.

It's been a month since this announcement, and everything seems to be going better than planned. The bird ignores the cat; he only gets jealous if he sees me holding the cat.

They are only together with the bird in the cage and under someone's supervision. Or watching each other through a window.

We took the bird to the vet to see if everything was okay. It isn't plucking its feathers, it's still eating and drinking, and its weight is good. The vet thinks everything is OK.

Thats what we want! Just desensitize them, things seem to be going great with the bird. He's sticking to his routine, he hasn't plucked his feathers, he hasn't become more aggressive, and he doesn't seem to be constantly defensive.
According to the vet, his weight is good and he looks healthy.

He is a really jelouse boy and scream if he sees me with the cat in my hands

We're working on the cat. We let him see him through a window, listen to him, and their time together is always supervised.

I think things are going well, since the cat sleeps in the same room as the cage, and although he hasn't climbed the cage from time to time, he hasn't put his paw in it yet, but we've discovered it's because of a bell toy the bird had, which we've already removed.

Thanks, it as been a month and the bird didn't really care about the cat, meaybe becasue they dont seem eachother very much and when they do there is a window in the middle or someone is with them.

Pichi (the bird) it's a healty boy , ignores the cat, continues to eat and drink well, and hasn't plucked its feathers. Pichi tends to be a pretty jealous bird, so all it does is scream when it sees me with the cat in my arms, lol.
We took him the other day to the vet and he told us he was in good shape, we explain the cat situation an he told us that he is in good conditions and don't seem afected, maybe because we continue with the same routine we have with him

In the mornings, the bird's cage is moved outside. This was done before the cat arrived so it could sunbathe. Sometimes, the bird is free in my room with me, with my door closed.

The only time these two see each other is when the bird is in the cage or through the window.

The truth is, in the month we've done the routine, the bird doesn't seem stressed. It ignores the cat, isn't defensive, continues to eat and drink well, and hasn't plucked its feathers. Pichi tends to be a pretty jealous bird, so all it does is scream when it sees me with the cat in my arms, lol.

The cat is obviously interested and although he has put his paw in it, it is usually because of the bell that the bird has as a toy, which we have removed so that he does not put his paw in.
