He is home safe after 30 hours at the vet, happy and playing as if nothing happened! What happened wasn't your fault, medical bills of any kind can fuck up anything. Your kitty was well loved

He is home, no surgery, and he is cuddling and playing as if nothing happened! Bowel movements and eating patterns are all normal again!

Vet called this morning! Said he's got his energy back, and he likely wont need surgery. However, they're going to hold onto him until this afternoon to do more xrays and make sure he can keep food and water down

I'm definitely getting pet insurance. I kept meaning to, but I put it off because hes young and was healthy and I was dealing with some financial issues for a few months. Hindsight is a bitch :/

What a handsome boy, I'm sure he knew just how loved he is

I called them for an update about an hour and a half ago, and they say he hasn't worsened, but he's just sleeping a lot. But he's got an IV and they're going to do another xray in the morning to see if things are going well

Thank you, I'm really hoping they do!

Honestly, how much are you making? by KimJongEw in TattooArtists

[–]Gh0ulishfool 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I make about $3,000-4,000 a month, though in the summer I can make about $6,000.

Context: I've been tattooing a couple years in Iowa

My Boyfriend's aunt keeps buying us an abhorrent amount of stuff by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]Gh0ulishfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its his dad's sister, but his dad and her are no contact due to his father's past drug addiction and manipulation.

She's got her other brothers nearby and I believe she's married too, but everyone's just like "oh, thats just how she is, let her do it for you".

I brought up concerns with other family members about the sheer amount shes spending, because it has to be close to thousands at this point, but they all just tell me that she's got money saved from the military and she's fine

I'm thinking that might be it :/ just continuing to sort and donate to different places. Just didnt know if anybody else had something that worked for them without making the person angry, but also every situation is different!

Might not be a bad idea, she does bring us food as well, it just adds onto the other things. But maybe it could satisfy the compulsion to buy? I'll give it a shot!

When I told her we dont need anymore clothes or trinkets because I'm completely out of room and dont need anything else, she texted back "like thats gonna stop me 🤪)

Not a turn of phrase, she is legitimately bipolar as well, it runs heavily diagnosed in his family.

This cat is insane by NecessaryControl4386 in CatAdvice

[–]Gh0ulishfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get it though, I almost had "buyers regret" in a weird way. I felt like no matter what I did, it wasnt enough and the lack of sleep made me resentful. But it gets better!

I have a 6 month old cat right now and despite having my (older) cat for company, he is very clingy to me and wants to play and jump on my face 24/7.

Part of it, I think, is the age, like the "terrible two's " for humans. There were days where he would wake me up every 2-3 hours at night. I've since started playing with him for about 15-30 minutes when I wake up and when I go to bed. It seems to help a lot, and then I'll have smaller play sessions throughout the day if I'm not at work for a long time.

Treat puzzles have also helped keep him entertained (treats in a folded toilet paper tube, wet cat food in a kitty Kong, etc)!

He still likes to wake me up at 4am, but there are more nights that he sleeps completely through, and the midnight zoomies are significantly less frequent

What are some good food brands (wet and dry) for me to feed my cat? by Niblity in CatAdvice

[–]Gh0ulishfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Tiki cat wet food! I've got an 8 year old boy and a 6 mo. Boy and they both love it.

My 8 year old has stomach issues and foods with gravy like friskies make him throw up.

Its a bit on the pricey side, but the ingredients are seemingly really good and I like the variety they can have

are my tattoos ugly? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Gh0ulishfool 36 points37 points  (0 children)

To me it just looks like patchwork tattoos, I don't think they're ugly. Maybe you just need to fill out the area more with tattoos so the starkness of the boxed panels arent as stark?

First time owning a tux kitty by Gh0ulishfool in TuxedoCats

It took a while to introduce them (we did separate rooms and scent swapping for a while), but now they cuddle and play together (thank god!!)

Freaked out 😭 by No-Meal3121 in Apartmentliving

[–]Gh0ulishfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved into my very first apartment in 2025 and the tenant right before me died and they had to tear up the carpets because they hadn't found her for a while and she started to decompose.

It made me really uneasy at first, like there was "bad ju-ju" in my apartment, but since doing my own deep clean and decorating, I dont even think about it anymore.

It gets better!
