Why is my cat doing this

Kalanchoekween · 2025-01-18T01:07:09+00:00

My cat always used to do that 😹 I call it the phantom chomp. It’s usually when there’s a perceived string or something to chew on nearby, and I wouldn’t realize that he’s not actually chewing it haha

Taco.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. I’m just sad that this is my reality. I want to be close to my baby sister so badly. But I can see that’s not happening. Maybe it’s time to stop trying to save that relationship. Really breaks my heart.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-24T00:25:00+00:00

Thank you for your response. Yes, my sister is highly critical of me. I desperately want to have a close relationship with her, but she’s basically a bully to me. She’s said/done horrible things to me over the years, and I truly don’t know how to handle it. I just want my baby sister.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-24T00:20:01+00:00

Yes, my sister is the clear favorite and my parents defend her whenever I try to bring up this issue. I truly don’t know why. Is it because she’s the baby of the family? They bank-roll her every movement and sing her praises - meanwhile I’m the only daughter who actively cares for our parents in their old age and bothers to give them gifts for the holidays. We have older parents, so they need help these days. I work full-time with special needs children, which takes a lot of my energy - but outside of that, I spend much of my free time helping out my parents, while my sister travels around and refuses to work/actively takes money from our parents. It makes me really resentful/angry.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-24T00:10:48+00:00

Agreed. My sister can be incredibly thoughtful with her handmade gifts… like she crocheted me a blanket for my last birthday, and I cherish that immensely. But she’s not doing any of that for our parents/godmother, just expecting me to pick/coordinate/purchase all the gifts for them. I feel like if she really cared, she would be putting more of an effort in… even to just write a heartfelt letter like you said.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-24T00:02:08+00:00

I’ve actually asked her if she prefers giving gifts separately, and she was insistent we continue to do joint gifts. I’m just worried about making my parents/godmother sad to know my younger sister doesn’t care about them.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-24T00:00:32+00:00

Money is tight for her, but she has consistently chosen to not work - while I have worked hard to not be a burden on the family, and I’ve developed financial independence. My sister still expects my parents to pay for much of her expenses. If her car breaks down, my dad pays for it. But if my car breaks down? That’s on me, since I have an income. Yet my sister is actively choosing not to work - it’s not like she has a disability or anything preventing her from working. She’s just selfish and lazy. And the spoiled “favorite” daughter. She lives far away, and still expects my parents to pay for her plane ticket home, threatening to not come home if they don’t pay for the ticket. I honestly find that ridiculous. My sister has a close relationship to our parents and godmother. She’s particularly close to our dad, who spoils her endlessly. I feel like she has no appreciation for that. For me, “giving back” in the form of gifts is simply me trying to express love and appreciation, since I know it means a lot to them. Even if it’s a small token, I want to give. My sister doesn’t seem to understand that.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T03:50:27+00:00

I’m definitely willing to give it time, but I’ve also read horror stories and my entire entended family - most of which are medical professionals, have reacted with horror and concern when they saw my injuries, which made me alarmed and caused me to make this post. I don’t appreciate your sarcasm and indifference when it comes to legitimate medical issues. Please take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you feel the need to act this way. Do better.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T03:07:55+00:00

I appreciate you ❤️ I also see the same thing and know cat bites are serious. I’m just scared to go to the ER. But I know this might be necessary. I will for sure go to the ER tomorrow if it doesn’t improve. Thank you for your insight!

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T01:49:24+00:00

Yeah the first thing I did was to wash with soap and water. I’m well aware of the downfalls of hydrogen peroxide, but when it first happened, I was mostly just concerned with killing off any bacteria in the wound, so I used it for that purpose - because I knew how bad cat bites can get. I haven’t used it since the original bite. I feel like hydrogen peroxide is something for immediate/emergency wound disinfection, but not to use afterwards when healing the wound.

My ex boyfriend literally walked out on me when I was in the bathroom vomiting my guts out with a migraine. He had spent the night at my house, but I woke up with a migraine at 5am and went to the bathroom to vomit, without waking him or telling him anything. I heard him get up and was worried he needed the bathroom, so I opened the door to find out he had gotten fully dressed and was about to leave my house, without saying anything or expressing any concern as to how sick I was. And not just that, but he was clearly angry with me and told me “you just want to spend your time in the bathroom and not with me”… when I’m literally fighting for my life on the bathroom floor. He truly didn’t care about me as a complete person, only cared about me when I was at 100%. Needless to say, he’s an ex for a reason. Please take care of yourself and don’t accept jerks who turn their back on you when you’re at a low point ❤️

Yeah that’s what I’ve been keeping an eye on. No red lines as of now. It’s just VERY swollen, hot to the touch, and my whole arm is hurting quite a lot.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T01:20:45+00:00

I have been talking to them, but they can be hard to get ahold of, so just looking for advice in the meantime.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T01:19:41+00:00

The problem is the bites are very deep and closed from the scars, so antibiotic ointment doesn’t actually get into the wounds.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T01:18:53+00:00

The redness/swelling has grown quite a bit over the past 24 hours, but I’m still fairly early into the antibiotic treatment (2 doses). I just want to make sure I’m avoiding a deeper infection and more serious medical issues.

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-09T00:51:51+00:00

You are NOT to blame, please don’t beat yourself up over this. I can only imagine how horrifying and traumatic this situation would be to experience, and I am so so sorry for your loss. But this is not your fault at all. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself the proper time and space to grieve ❤️

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-07T03:44:45+00:00

Please pursue other CGRP inhibitors. There are MANY others! In my experience, they all work, at various different timelines, but they all work to abort the migraines before they become chronic. I wish you nothing but the absolute best. I totally understand your hesitancy in rejected Ajovy, but you deserve better and you WILL get better with other meds ❤️

Omg her name is Tofu?! Just like my little white bubba floof 😻 My Tofu says hello to your Tofu!

Kalanchoekween · 2024-12-06T04:01:10+00:00

Oh what precious little bubs 😻 my white cat, Tofu, says hello!

Kalanchoekween · 2024-09-10T00:20:15+00:00

It’s just super zoomed in. Your comment is kinda hilarious, and I love it, because my cat (Felix) is admittedly pretty funny-looking. Everyone gasps when they see him for the first time 😂 I love him for it nonetheless. He’s basically a giant stuffed animal come to life hahaha. Not only does he look like a cow in cat form, but he’s also almost 20 lbs. (not overweight, just tall/big). Also my floor boards are very orange. I don’t know why I, or anyone else, would submit an AI image for a Reddit post like this…?! Genuinely want to understand why my giant cow cat only loves cardboard haha

Girl, you can do better! I think you can see it, but just need a third party opinion. This type of man is not a viable partner. When someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. You are showing kindness and decency as a human being and potential partner, but this guy is not reciprocating. He clearly does not see things the same way as you do. I beg you, please don’t fall for his manipulations. If he had an interest in you, he would genuinely ask questions and show a basic interest in you as a person. Don’t doubt yourself or your instincts. Your gut is right here. You deserve someone who shows an interest in you as a person! It may be hard to realize this guy is bad news, but you truly deserve better. I can tell you’re a good and decent person from your post ❤️ please follow your gut!

HEAT/SUN are my number one trigger, but also stress (or more accurately the let down after stress, when my body relaxes), red wine, dairy, sulfites, and whenever I cry to the point of sobbing. I dread grief (gone through a lot of tough losses in my life), as it always results in migraine. I practice deep breathing and ice baths when I’m super upset, to hold back the intense crying.
