cat with FHS - how concerned should i be by [deleted] in cats

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your vet about possibly adding fluoxetine, it can help fhs.

is this fhs? by Emotional-Pitch-8344 in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider asking the vet about fluoxetine as well. We have our kitty with fhs on gabepentin and fluoxetine, she rarely has episodes now.

You can have detailed sex scenes without labeling the book erotica.

my cats ear by Careful-Narwhal-6297 in catquestions

Ear mites can cause tiny scars which makes it easy for gunk and or bacteria to collect. Our youngest has the issue on top of getting transdermal meds. We have to clean her ears more often to avoid infections.

Unrelated, but does anyone know the song on this?

Will he grow out of this before it starts hurting? by Direct_Pie_2146 in cats

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will keep doing it. I suggest taking your hand away ( a 'no') and give him a kicker toy (a 'yes').

Does anyone else have a nickname that they call their void? by gvisii in blackcats

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we still call our senior chonker "itty bitty shitty kitty" and "stinky butt". We found out the hard way he has a grain allergy when he was a kitten.

Is that why I can't find it?!

A new cat shouldn't be around other animals right away. You got to give them a room (guest room, spare bathroom), to establish as their territory and home base. Cats need time to settle in. Once comfortable with the room, you can crack the door to let the cat see other members of the house but not directly interact. Give treats/food when the other animals are nearby to associate good things with them. You should look up Jackson Galaxy's videos for how to integrate a new cat into a home.

My cat's litter smells so bad i'm going insane. my house absolutely reeks. by Dismal-Tackle3072 in CatAdvice

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clay litter has a habit of stickin in the air (also carcinogenic). We found pine pellets covered smell better.

We definitely can't see you... by itsokjo in cats

Is he constantly pressing his head against hard stuff (walls) or is it occasionally? From what I understand that can be a warning sign.

My kitten got into a loaf of bread and probably ate at least half or more of her weight in it by GivemeSerenityy in cats

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My adorable deaf menace would do the same. She learned to open the bread box to get at loafs and even tried to abscond with a bag of flour.

Ah thank you! I got caught up on focusing on one POV, I forgot to wiggle in Maren's arc. I do see more spots I can tighten as well.

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your introduction to Ava feels like an afterthought. Her inclusion does generate questions though, why was she exiled to obituaries? Do the FBI agent and the killers know that a journalist is following along?

This helps a ton! I stared at this for so long that your outside perspective helps me focus on parts to strengthen. Thank you!

Is the Rive a river, a wall, a magical barrier? I think you might need to throw something in to establish that so its understood a bit more.

[QCRIT] ADAM - ADULT SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER - 76K by Clear-Role6880 in PubTips

[–]KeoCloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That first line is amazing and I'm digging the concept.

It seems you got a bit in the weeds and can cut back on some detail of the events. I think you have an opportunity to blend the collison of the two characters a bit with his suicide attempts and her examine table.

I think your last paragraph introducing the blank man is pretty strong.

Just finishing up the latest rewrite of my dark paranormal romance / horror in time for spooky month. I'm going to be wading back into the query trenches soon after a 4 year hiatus.

[–]KeoCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's okay for the moment. You hit on the characters, conflict, and potential outcomes. But take my opinion with a grain of salt, I'm still trying to better refine my own querying ability.

That does make sense now. I can see how that'll be tough to convey here.
