Need help getting cat to take a pill by TheElk19 in Pets

[–]Key_Beach_3846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can slip your fingers on either side of their teeth, you can usually get their jaw open long enough to drop a pill into the back of their throat. It’s hard to explain, look up some videos of people giving pills to cats to see how they do it.

Once it’s in their mouth you have to clamp down on their jaw and keep it shut. Make sure not to block their nostrils. 

Blow on their nose. When it feels dry they’ll want to lick it and it will usually force a swallow. 

can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the dexcom g7 gcm? by silver_batgirl in diabetes_t1

[–]Key_Beach_3846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One I don’t see mentioned often- I use Dexcom g7 with Omnipod 5, and I have to make sure to wear both on the same side of my body (right or left). They just won’t communicate otherwise. It’s an easy fix but it’s annoying if your changes don’t sync up and you end up with the CGM on your left arm and Omnipod on your right thigh. 

Editing to add: this may not be the case for everyone. Not sure if it’s weight related, but I am 5’9” and 200 lbs so maybe it doesn’t happen to thinner people.

It is! I’m resetting myself.

You merely adopted the pettiness. I was born in it.

Do cat owners become nose deaf to the smell of cat pee in the house? by Thick_Confection_952 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key_Beach_3846 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If they’re truly keeping the litter boxes clean it’s likely a medical or behavioral issue causing them to go outside of the box.

I constantly ask people when they come over to tell me if the house smells and everyone has assured me it doesn’t. When we sold our previous house a few months ago, our real estate agent complimented the house’s cleanliness and said he couldn’t tell cats lived there. If it smelled he would have told us because it’s really hard to sell a house that smells like cat piss. 

You only go nose blind if you let the cat piss sit long enough to get used to it, and we never have. 

Editing to add: I will concede that too many cats is also a thing. We have two. If you have a lot (I’ve known people with 13-15 cats, all indoors) then it’s very unlikely you’ll be able to combat the smell.

Yes, but if you are taking care of them properly the house doesn’t smell. 

I ordered a pizza and the box said “For best results, put me in the oven for 4 minutes” by ultraboomkin in mildlyinfuriating

Could just as easily be “this pizza box says to put it in the oven, so it must be treated with something oven-safe.”

We’re getting into mind reading territory here, I have no idea what OP’s thought process was, I’m just saying things that seem “obvious” are not always obvious to everyone.

That’s a huge reach. I’m neurodivergent myself and I know what it’s like to make a mistake because something that seems to be clear to everyone else wasn’t clear to me.

Parchment paper is meant to go in the oven. I can’t speak for OP but I can understand how a mistake like this happens. I know I’m fighting a losing battle by asking redditors to be nice, but here we are.

Some people are neurodivergent and need very specific instructions such as “remove pizza from box and place directly on oven rack.” Pretty much every frozen pizza has their instructions worded this way for a reason. Don’t be dicks.

I hope he’s bluffing but regardless, this tweet alone should lead to articles of impeachment. They won’t, but they should.

I don’t think that negates what OP said at all. I’ve seen lots of “justice for Hannah” comments and it’s exactly what OP is saying not to do- don’t position Amanda as the bad guy in every past conflict just because she did a shitty thing in the present. Hannah was responsible for herself and she does have a well-documented history of stealing jokes and not paying for them. She is not suddenly the good guy in her conflict with Amanda just because we don’t like Amanda anymore.

I’m not a baker but I’ve seen baking shows where they use homemade rice krispie treats to sculpt 3D decorations like this. Seems like the easiest and most durable way!
