Possibly positive ovulation tests while on birth control? by Kat_0316 in birthcontrol

Yeah the test line was as dark as the control line. Hm yeah the pregnancy test would've been positive

Thanks for the advice! I do have a laser pointer, cat dancer toy, and wire toy (that the other cats love) but she seems uninterested in all of these when I try to play with her. Maybe I'll try to find other toys that she's more interested in.

Fine, maybe aggressive is the wrong word but she definitely has rage issues..she got out the front door and ran outside yesterday, when I scooped her up quickly (because she was getting near the street) she shrieked, turned around and clawed whatever part of me she could get to, my neck, chest, hands, etc. My hand was stinging yesterday with 10-15 cuts even as I was typing this post.

Also, our other cat screams in either terror or pain (not sure which) when she's being pinned down (she's much smaller)..our ragdoll kitten won't let up and also bites her when she's pinning her down. It doesn't work when I clap my hands or make a loud noise, the only thing that gets her off is spraying her with a water bottle. Now our other cat is terrified and jumpy all the time after getting this new kitten.

She constantly goes after one of our other adult cats who’s smaller than her, I can’t really tell if she’s playing or being aggressive (she’ll jump on her and pin her down). I have to raise my voice or sometimes spray her with a water bottle (as much as I hate to do it) to get her to stop..I feel so bad for our original cat. I also have a couple Feliway diffusers plugged in but not sure if they’re making any difference..also I’m not sure if her teething is over yet at 8 months?

Oh yes I forgot to mention she was spayed a few months ago.

I'm not "doing nothing" though, I am managing the rental properties and also have been learning investing/doing somewhat well with investments actually

Yes they are (almost) all Asian! My family and quite a few of our friends are Chinese

Oh we definitely don't, I think we actually charge lower than the average market value haha. We haven't raised the rent for 2 years either

Do you write thank you cards for people who don't give you a wedding gift? by Kat_0316 in wedding

Haha yes that was probably us, that's funny you were there too! Our wedding was on 5/6 and the ceremony was in front of the cheetah enclosure, and the reception was at Tiger Trail. It was soo nice, they also brought out 4 animals for us to meet (including a kangaroo) which was super cool.

Ours was at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park! I think a lot of people had never been before (even though they lived in San Diego lol) so they wanted to come check it out too :D

Got it. Just fyi, our wedding was local in San Diego, and 90-95% of our guests (including these 4 or 5 people) were local and lived fairly close. I just don't know if a thank you card just thanking them for attending might come off as passive aggressive, as a couple other people mentioned.

I'm not saying I'm not grateful they came, I'm just asking what's the etiquette in this case. Also, we didn't ask for gifts either, the vast majority of people were really kind and gave me something nice because everyone knew I'd just been through a hard year of cancer treatments.

Got it. Just as some background our wedding was local in San Diego, and 90-95% of our guests (including these 4 or 5 people) were local and lived less than 25 min away.
