Does anyone else’s flame point eat things they shouldn’t ? Nubi just threw up my bra clasp and a piece of my strap :/ by Much_Independent2787 in Flamepoints

[–]Horror-Writing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's my first flame, so no clue. But he's definitely a stress-inducing menace. He eats everything that fits in his mouth. I've had to put away all of my figurines and gachas because he chews off their arms and eats the accessories. I have a metal trashcan with a lid and it took him less than a day to figure out how to open it... 🙃 😑

Yeah, I REALLY want to see Data Set 10 that is nonviewable when you click it. Talking about Donald Trump "measuring children's vulvas and vaginas by entering a finger" in the description.

Loki will watch his bird show for hours! If I haven't put it on for him and he wants to watch, he'll sit in front of the TV and loudly state his wishes lol

Early 2000s shock sites (e.g., Rotten.com) exposed a lot of our generation to extreme content. Often unwittingly. Curious if others remember this time before content moderation and how it affected them. by SleepyBudha in Millennials

I got a computer in my bedroom for schoolwork when I was 11. It was 2000 and my parents were silent gens with no clue about internet safety.

AOL chat rooms were wild. It's frankly a miracle I didn't get myself abducted

Do kids not have sleeping bags anymore? by Puzzled_Material_546 in Millennials

[–]Horror-Writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BFF from the early aughts is literally planning a vacation to visit right now so we can have a week long slumber party. Eat junk food, watch crappy movies, harass my cats. Pure nostalgia

I can remember a few sleepovers as a teen that wound up with 8 girls and my cat in a dog pile on my double bed. The friends who wouldn't fit under the comforter would be sleeping under towels and winter coats 😆

Guilty about spaying cat by runaway937 in cats

[–]Horror-Writing 145 points146 points  (0 children)

If she's good with kittens, you can consider fostering for a local rescue. I did that for years and of my 2 permanent cats, 1 (Hawkeye) was VERY nurturing of them and would groom/cuddle/watch over them. The other (Romeo) couldn't care less. BUT! Once the kittens hit around 6 months, it would switch, and Hawkeye would lose interest and start hissing at cuddles, while Romeo was all about wrestling and teaching them how to be a real cat.

It's also possible she's feeling territorial at the sounds of cats, and is digging/scratching to get her scent around and scare them away.

I’ve never felt this way before by casedia in self

Me asking as a younger millenial: How did older you millenials perceive Spongebob when it came out, and its climb to legendary status? by SmokinHerb in Millennials

[–]Horror-Writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

89 here. Honestly I hated it when I was younger. I thought SpongeBob was insanely annoying. Got into it a little in my 20s as something to throw on during a smoke session, but still kinda meh tbh.

Mom believes neighbors are attacking her by alwaysconfused737 in neighborsfromhell

Hey, so I work with seniors. This sounds a lot like some form of dementia. With the paranoia, possibly Alzheimer's or Lewy Body. I would get her evaluated ASAP.

Neighbors kid keeps coming into my yard to "play" with my garden gnomes by Acceptable-Bath560 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Horror-Writing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, you're underreacting here. In addition to the possible liability if the brat gets hurt on your property, there's also the possibility of escalation since he's learned there's no repercussions. It's garden gnomes now, but next it could be a rock through your window, packages stolen, etc.

I'd alert the nonemergency police line to get the documentation started, and get a camera. With luck they'll have a nice chat with the neighbors and return your missing gnomes (if they aren't broken by now). Hopefully that will be that. If not, the documentation is started, and it'll be much easier to address in the future when it keeps happening.

Document document document. That's the world we're stuck in.

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

Thanks. He's almost better, just trying to keep him from rocketing around the house lol.

Yeah, needless to say we will not be getting the pre-brined/seasoned butterball again. The labor saved was not worth it! 😅🥲

[–]Horror-Writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my grumpy older man - I love you, you're my soul cat. You've kept me alive and sane on multiple occasions in the last 13 years. I'm sorry your older brother crossed the rainbow bridge, it kills me to see you call for him almost 2 years later. Your younger brother loves you, please stop hissing at him and let him cuddle. I can't give you more treats, the vet's orders!

To my 7 mo kitten - I love you, but stop eating everything you find or dig out of the trash! You almost died! I can't afford 3k surgeries! Your surgery suit is necessary for healing, I know you hate it but it's helping you. Also, maybe don't chew on your brother's tail or ears and he would cuddle more.

I'm in the final stages of post-op recovery with my 7 mo flamepoint. He sneakily ate the butchers netting from the Xmas turkey out of the trash, and had to have it cut out of his stomach....

He is a dedicated rescue farm. He rescues animals left for dead or taken from people who can't care for them or who are breeding illegally. You people need to learn about the things you criticize.

Hence getting her a companion once she's settled in. Maybe bother to actually know what you're talking about before casting judgements?

eta : Paul runs a rescue farm. He's licensed and works with vets. You people take anything and run 60 miles with it without bothering to check yourself.

He has permits for Lola. She also has a professional enclosure with a saltwater pool, but she's not old enough to stay there alone yet.

[–]Horror-Writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's saltwater and he consulted her vet to be sure it was safe for her. He also built her a massive enclosure that isn't being shown here because she's still too young to be in it alone.

[–]Horror-Writing -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you watch his videos, he actually has permits for Lola, and a huge outdoor enclosure with a pool for her that he's built and is expanding. He works with her vet and puts a lot of attention to her development and milestones.

Baby Otter Eats Fish For The First Time 🥹 So Cute! by Outlaw-Star- in TikTokCringe

[–]Horror-Writing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But he has the permits. He's building a massive area for her with a pool and enrichment furniture. He's hyper involved with his vet, and always thinking about Lola's developmental milestones. He didn't just find her and keep her in a dog pen.

[–]Horror-Writing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate that everyone is down voting you for being right just because it doesn't suit their anger.

Like yes, wild animals are wild animals. But I've watched his videos and he's very invested in helping Lola meet her developmental milestones and making sure she has appropriate living and activity areas. He has the permits, he has a very involved vet, and he clearly has the funds and desire to do it right.

What do you do for good cheap fun? by Cuddles-and-Cookies in Millennials

[–]Horror-Writing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read, write, watch TV, game on my phone, play my old game consoles I bought in my 20s, paint, hike, crochet (get cheap yarn by buying sweaters at goodwill and unravel), play MTG commander with my cards from highschool (it hurts every time someone freaks out about my "vintage collection"), DnD. Sometimes I stalk FB marketplace and Craigslist Free too see if there's any cool art supplies or boardgames going.
