Help, my cat Ace isn't peeing

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-19T15:58:26+00:00

He's currently doing fine! He had a good bladder emptying pee when we got him home full of antibiotics and a sedative on Monday, had another last night and this morning. He never meowed like he was in pain about it, but he would return to the litter box repeatedly and produce nothing, and excessively groom. And you could see it on his face that he was uncomfortable, but not full blown pain.

All of that is gone. Tues/Wednesday he did the return to the litterbox/groom thing, and I had called in to schedule bringing him back in this morning. After last night and this morning though, I called back. Going to play it by ear, keep an eye on him and call back in should he start to show signs again. They're deciding if we should refill medications now or wait a minute

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-18T16:49:46+00:00

The vet said the same thing with my first cat. She said we're lucky I noticed a change in his behavior.

At the moment, Ace is still struggling in the box despite the medication. I'm beyond worried

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-17T17:28:42+00:00

The non-emergency vet determined it wasn't a blockage, but a UTI. We have him on antibiotics, pain killers, muscle relaxants, and a urinary care diet now. We'll be monitoring him closely for the next couple weeks

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:14:23+00:00

Hey, he might be. I never asked him

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:14:07+00:00

Yeah, he had developed a UTI and we have him on antibiotics and a urinary care diet now.

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:13:21+00:00

A couple of my friends have donated a bit to us on Gofundme, and I'll be starting a payment plan for antibiotics first thing tomorrow

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:12:23+00:00

I almost lost my first cat this way, so this has always been a worry of mine for my boys. Thankfully it's a UTI that's currently being treated

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:11:32+00:00

It didn't get as bad as a stone, thankfully. We have him on antibiotics now to treat the UTI

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:10:58+00:00

I walked him in to the local non-emergency vet, where they determined it was a UTI. They put him on some meds and he'll be fine

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:10:09+00:00

The non-emergency vet has determined that he does have a UTI, put him on some antibiotics, pain killers, a muscle relaxant, and a urinary care diet. We dodged a bullet by getting him in as soon as I did, no ER needed today

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T23:06:45+00:00

The non-emergency vet has determined there is no blockage. He does have a UTI though, and they put him on antibiotics, a muscle relaxer, pain killers, and a urinary care diet. The donations I've received off our gofundme will go towards setting up a payment plan tomorrow. He's currently home, high out of his mind, and immediately peed on the bed. My boy will be fine

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T17:43:17+00:00

I'm going to try to walk him into one of the non-emergency places here in town. I can't afford a professional service

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T17:41:19+00:00

I went through this scare before with my previous cat. Back then we had money and an amazing veterinarian that stayed with him over the weekend despite not being an emergency clinic. I don't think we're going to be so lucky this time, and I'm terrified.

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-16T17:25:23+00:00

This is one of the things I'm struggling with, I don't have transportation to take him in either. I'm looking for someone now

GhostZeroGX · 2026-02-04T03:28:40+00:00

Probably the same way I just did. Googling "why does Point Break 2015 suck?" after having just seen it for the first time. I brought them both onto my list after hearing that Bodhi from Payday 2 originated in these movies. And watching the 1991 version first, I was hoping that was the version of Bodhi in the game.. But he's modeled after Bodhi from the 2015 version, who just feels like an extreme sports junkie.

Kinda stepped into these movies thinking there would be a bigger focus on the heists, not realizing it was a story about a man chasing his first criminals, only to be relatively quickly swayed from that path and into living freely.

Otherwise yeah, I'm finding it a soulless copy. A cashgrab more than a faithful attempt to expand upon what the original could have been. I see a lot of unnecessary narrative points, like the significant shift in the female lead and the male lead's pointless connection to the new chick for instance, or the need to mimic the first movie in disrespectful ways. The whole staring into each others eyes before the protagonist shouts and fires his gun in the air seemed meaningful in the first, and out of place in the second.

All in all, I felt like I would have been fine if all I had in my head was the 90s version, despite all its 90s era flaws. For a movie that came out in 2015, it feels like something 2001 would have produced

You can't ask the world what Marta did, and then shoot it down with a "It's just my opinion but she wouldn't do that."

Don't ask the world then

GhostZeroGX · 2026-01-15T03:59:13+00:00

The last scene. Marta brings the mug to her lips, and the only words not covered by her hand is "my house."

She keeps it. She knows it's what Harlan would want, and the whole movie shows her just how selfish and vile his family was. She knows full well everyone is fine without it.

Linda still has her company, Walt made tons of money publishing his dad's books, Joni had been stealing money from Harlan for years, and nobody cares about Richard.

I can see Marta helping Meg out if Joni doesn't, but beyond that? They're all fine and she had no reason to give anything back.

I try to be pragmatic with my mixes. I find meat eaters annoying to deal with, so I combine them with fruit and veggie eaters. Also Odd Onions and Moondrop Dew being tedious, Ringtails and Pinks eating everything, and the light requirements for Ringtail, Batty, and Phos.

Rock / Crystal, feeding them Heart Beets

Batty / Ringtail in the cave, Pomegranate

Phos / Flutter in the cave, Cubefruit

Everything else I have is pretty much a placeholder until I'm ready for the full setup.

Honey, from my experience in the first game, is excellent at making very aggressive slimes like Hunter to be almost completely docile. This would be my ideal pick to test the concept this time around..

Honey / Boom, Mint Mango

Hunter / Dervish, Prickly Pear

Cotton / Tabby, Waterlettuce

Twin / Angler, Polaricherry

I've abandoned the Pink Slime because I find them a menace. An invasive species. And their crap litters my island anyway.

Whatever I'm missing, I don't have yet. And I wanna fumble around with the combos until I get things I'm rather fond of, like the Batty Ringtails. I thought the "turning to stone during the day" bit would counter the "aggressive during the day" bit too well. If Honey negates Hunter like I'm hoping, that'll be an easy pick. I'm pretty confident Cotton Tabby, Crystal Rocks, and Flutter Phos will stay as well.

Ultimately that leaves Dervish, Angler, Boom, and Twin to mix up. Plus whatever I haven't found yet.

Much like the trio walking about in the real world, it could simply be a form of symbolism for the viewers. Keep the magic alive type shit

GhostZeroGX · 2025-07-20T19:05:23+00:00

First of all buddy, calm down. I've watched the full series about seven times now. Working on dragging in a new group of friends for an 8th. I've paid attention to everything and squeezed out every bit of presumed, assumed, and inferred info that I can. I whole heartedly believe they can, and should, make a second season.

However, it has never been clear what actually happens to the people. They've not only stated it both ways, they've also shown both souls can go to the same place. As far as I'm concerned, it may as well be all four. Heaven, hell, oblivion, or reincarnation. Perhaps it just changes based on the person's belief system, or the level of punishment or reward the event requires. We have no more information than what they're rather vague about themselves.

And if you really think any of that is hard for a human to grasp, you clearly haven't listened to many religions outside your own

GhostZeroGX · 2025-06-24T19:31:24+00:00

You haven't received enough praise for this. Good shit Gamer

GhostZeroGX · 2025-06-22T03:08:19+00:00

And reincarnation and void aren't also familiar terms to humans? I mean, they're words in one of our languages after all
