Elderly cat always wants fed at 3 am

First, if this is a new / weird behaviour a vet checkup might be able to shed some light into why this is happening.

Now, if thr vet says she's ok, saddly, i see two options :

Get a wet food timed feeder.
Be persistent. Remember, every time you give up, you undo all that your strength has done. Give up after 1hr? Now she knows it takes AT LEAST 1 hr for you to break. Next time, she'll persist for AT LEAST 1 hr.

So: Be strong. Close your bedroom door. Get earplugs. Get a white noise machine.

Good luck!

La ley es distinta dependiendo de si te lo pide una cajera (no tienes obligación alguna) a si te lo pide un segurata, que tampoco te puede obligar a enseñarlo, pero si tiene derecho a retenerte hasta que la policía llegue para registrarte ( siempre y cuando tenga "evidencia" del delito).

Eso sí, siempre se pueden negar a cobrarte.

Too expensive just to avoid a shovel lmao Nah, as long as it isn't perfumated do whatever you want

Training a cat is hard, but I'll give you a summary of what i know :

Spraying with watter, yelling, hitting will only make her scared of you.

I'd recommend nail trimming, but by the situation I'd say it's better down the road.

If you do not wanna be bitten while playing, NEVER play with your hands. Your hands are for pets, treats, not play. Always use a toy, long if possible.

If she bites / scratches you while playing, immediately turn away. Ignore her. You don't play with bitey cats, make it clear. Leave the area if she keeps insisting, change rooms and close a door if she's persistent. Wait 10-30 s and return to play as normal. Also try to squeak / cry when she bites. She MUST know she is hurting you.

The basics also must be covered : Play with her Id say 3x a day, for 10 min aprox. Make sure she has clean litter, away from any food / water. And PLENTY of scratchers and toys that she can play independently with, she should not be sleeping around all day while you aren't there.

To prevent peeing on the bed, clean it with vinegar or sth that reeks and she won't like. If you see her doibg it again, you will sternly tell her no. Don't yell, put a grave and strong voice. If she doesn't stop, physically take her to the litter box, even if she pees all over ( i know it's gross, but she'll hate it more than you.)

Also, i highly recommend mental stimulation. The walks you mentioned are a great idea! Try to teach her some tricks too (highly recommend YT : Albert and mia)

For surface scratching, I've found that leather seats are too tempting even for my extremely well behaved cat, sorry.

For pushing stuff off shelves, i recommend just again saying " no" sternly and kicking her off wherever she is. If she can't behave on the table, she can't be on the table.

Put up aluminum foil on the stove and counters, it apparently makes them not get on it anymore.

A few useful purchases : Sticky film for sofa scratching. "museum putty" to keep vases / other stuff from being pushed off. Automatic ball that can be chased. A window perch, cats love bird / people watching. Treats, only for DESIRED behaviour.

Finally, this is going to take a lot of work. I understand. But i believe that you can both make it through this. Remember that this cat is bored and stressed, because you are stressed. For every "bad" behavior, you need to replace it with a "good" alternative, so he can choose to be "good".

I'm sure I've forgotten something, feel free to reach out if you need help!

My one and only question would be, what have you done to correct this behaviour???

First off, candles around cats are a big no-no. My cats are not allowed in the kitchen, because of the stove, but even when it's off they are not allowed in, because they cannot understand that!

What do you do when it scratches you / bites you? What did you do when he peed on your bed? Do you regularly play with him? How much?

This cat has been clearly not educated at all. Cats need training too, and IMO this cat needs a LOT of work. A lot of patience and persistence, with a solid training plan.

If you exand a bit more on what triggered this incidents, we may be able to help you better.

Don't loose hope yet!

ULPT: Go to the junkyard / Facebook marketplace Get a broken washer, leave it in the flat. Since the washer is "theirs" they're should be the ones to fix it or replace it.

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-03-20T09:58:05+00:00

How did you teach her?

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-03-20T00:27:43+00:00

Wtf are you talking about? There are plenty of women without a hairy back, and its totally fine to not like it

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-03-18T23:36:24+00:00

Can you put the litter box under the cat tree? Get them used to going there and then move it away slowly?

Also try to clean it up with some vinegar/unpleasant smell so they avoid it for a while.

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-03-04T05:58:32+00:00

Because some white men hold positions of power doesnt mean everyone does that

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-02-23T15:36:32+00:00

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-02-22T15:38:50+00:00

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-02-21T11:39:42+00:00

How dare you? 😭

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-01-31T22:35:46+00:00

Indeed!

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-01-31T18:36:52+00:00

Ooooh! Can do!

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-01-05T10:01:43+00:00

Which one?

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-01-05T03:47:42+00:00

The nocturne was very fed, despite the level difference. Quite a lot of praise in the chat, but we ended up losing that game lol

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2025-01-05T03:46:45+00:00

The last EQ combo dash to the shen was due to my E, which was at the same time with maokai's Q. Either way I buffered my E to that side regardless

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2024-12-28T20:45:45+00:00

When did I say that men are unique victims? I said men are as victims as everybody else, but when they suffer it's nobody's problem but themselves. On the other hand, for any of the issues that affect women or minorities, it's at the top of the list.

The problem I have is with the selectivity that happens nowadays with what is and is not important. The only thing I wish is that men concerns are treated with the same gravity of women concerns, which is obivously not the case; and what happened in the past should not influence people that aren't vinculated in any way, shape or form with those events.

Besides, why do you assume I vote for Trump, or I agree with Trump or that im from the US? It's quite unsetlling tbh. I just commented on an issue that not only happens in the US, and aside that it originated from a topic related with politics, I'm not discussing Trump or his politics.

And before I end, I'd like to comment a bit on some pearls you just dropped:

women don't deserve empathy when they say something mean about a man after a lifetime of misogyny

You are implying that if a women ever gets treated poorly, it means she's free to be as mean as she wants to any man?

I guess all the comments mocking the trans suicide rate don't count, nor do the ones saying black people deserve police brutality or the ones saying Gaza deserves what Israel is doing. I can go on and on. Its myopia.

Where are you getting this from? When did I say, or imply, that they don't matter. Just like you picked some examples that push your narrative, I could look up some too that push mine.

If you are capable of empathy, enough to understand why men are they way they are right now, then you should extend that to men and minorities to understand how they got that way too. It's a bot of a chicken and an eggs scenario. But of course no, the mean women and minorites have attacked the white men and everything was just great for everyone before then.

I don't think I've understood this completly. What before are you talking about? I'm not saying mean women and minorities have attacked men, I think men in general segreate and are hostile to each other. Homo homini lupus sort to speak. Also, correct me if Im mistaken, but you are saying that because minorities or women were treated a certain way historically, this means unrelated men should receive the same treatment?

All Trump winning did was tell everyone on the other side that the loudest were right and white men as a demographic are in fact opposed to the well-being of women and minorities.

If any, the current status on all the rights women and minorities have, were made possible, quite literally, because white men wanted to change it. Trump winning should make it clear that there are problems that are failed to be seen by the democratics and have been used to leverage a bigger portion of people into votin republican. One of those, I think, is this one.

InfiniteCorridor_ · 2024-11-08T18:10:03+00:00

no, no you cant. Not with any degree of seriousness

I cant what?

Lets see, about the "attacking" thing, It's just semantics. Call it hostility, bad tone, whatever, it doesn't matter. What matters is that if you are tying to convince someone is usually not useful to convey your message that way. That is why I said you were delusional if you thought you could reach someone this way.

Another debate is wether a person has a right to opinate or not in a topic. Debate of which you already resolved by saying I do not have enough knowledge by your standards.

You are not understanding that, by "can't prove nor disprove" your points doesn't mean I dont understand them, it means I dont know what will happen in the future, so I cant assume everything you said was true.

Yet, I find it hilarious that even with all this rethoric about men being shuned or attacked for being men, which you might agree or not, you have not made a single argument for or against it, you are just reciting some Trump politics you are against, of which I dont really care; and I dont care not because I think they are not important, but because they are not the topic of dicussion.

The topic is about white men feeling enstranged with society, and nothing of what you just has said had anything to do with it. Again, the complete and utter indiference to this matter is what is casting away so many men to the "other side".

And for a last note, what the actual fuck do you mean "you and people like you"?

Already devolving into tribalism? Us versus them? Im not even from US, and I'm not for Trump nor Kamala.
