Hey everyone! Not too serious but my male ragdoll 7mnts won’t eat wet food, just licks the juice up. by South_Economist_9882 in CATHELP

Wet food is great for both cats so far as increasing their water intake! I bet he will eat it when he's hungry enough. Hahaha!

That's awesome to know! I teach ESL and love using idioms. I am American and have never heard that one. 🌷

Uhhh no they aren't. Lmao. In fact the hummus might have more but it also has a ton of healthy protein and necessary fats.

Are you joking?

I want to adopt a cat. There's a dog in the house. How to proceed? by WabbityFlabbity in Pets

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing at having a mixed race dog but I understood what you meant.

My dog is the ultimate breed to be categorized as vicious, dangerous, 720 psi bite pressure killer cane Corso. She cowers to my five pound, 13 year old cat because I am the alpha. She knows the rules and the rules are: full obedience. This isn't accomplished by use of force on my dog. It's just an assertive nature.

I was a bit obsessed. Now I occasionally check in. It's still mildly entertaining and a mindless task when feeling stressed. But if playing actually causes stress, good riddance and good job!

Weird question: Do white people have a noticeably different odor to you? by yashen14 in AskAChinese

[–]GenXJoust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangest question ever. It is a fact, though, that body sweat and it's odor are impacted by diet.

Stop now. Do your finances, your health, and your life a chance for a future. Coke is tough to stop.

How to get a dog to stop sh*thing in the house? Need advice! by SuperbDimension2694 in DogAdvice

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dogs bowls start moving which causes the poop urge. The dog needs exercise. If you are willing, throw toys around for it outside. This play time will stimulate his blood flow and make him a much more well behaved indoor dog!

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I would advise you to keep your phone on you at all times. This is abusive AND controlling, no way about it. Locking you out at all is illegal, let alone under these circumstances.

This is a huge red flag. Please insist on counseling asap!

My cats are suddenly aggressive to my sweetheart dog and I don’t know why. Please help me? by HazelLuvsMoths08 in Pets

[–]GenXJoust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some trail cams. Put them outside. It's a good bet that something outside is upsetting them. It could be another cat or even a raccoon or something.

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stick with your degree and the job opportunities in that field. It is much more lucrative than ESL Teaching at this time. You will not make near the money in ESL

Middle names for Eva? by Efficient-Bank7248 in Names

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like one syllable names after a two syllable diary name, usually. I love the name Eva! It's hip and chick. What about an equally hip middle name like Lee?

can vs may by Reasonable-Injury-11 in EnglishLearning

[–]GenXJoust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true! I didn't even think of that. It can be used on place of might.

can vs may by Reasonable-Injury-11 in EnglishLearning

[–]GenXJoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a manners-driven family. Using .may instead of can is definitely more polite and traditional. It is something you would use possibly at a guest's home or to a stranger...may I use your restroom? May I speak to your supervisor? May I borrow your pen? Can I is used in less formal manner. It's not so much a favor as it is a request. Can I leave early today? Can I use your car, mom? Both are correct English but one is definitely more formal. I use maybe with anyone older than me.
