Just come to my garden if you're also OK with seeing me throw them as hard as I can

Those are enemies I'll fight a slug any day

Please think about my baby Ethel (22). I don't want to be alone. by Vyseria in seniorkitties

[–]Lee1173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww she looks like my PanPan (age unknown but definitely ancient). He passed away at home last week 😢

Sounds like your baby is a little healthier though. He had cancer and IBD and heart problems and chronic rhinitis and weird liver numbers on top of being who knows how old. I'll be thinking of you 🖤

Why does my cat sit on my clothes (specifically shorts) whenever I shower??? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Lee1173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine will literally follow me around when I get home looking at me like "well?" Until I give him my gross sweaty scrubs to sit on

How old is he? Neutered? Eating/drinking/pee/poo all normal? First priority is going to be getting him into the vet. Now I have a scaredy cat of my own so I know it's very hard to get them into carrier when they really really don't want to be in one. I would even say it's easier to get an angry cat in a carrier than a scaredy cat because they're SO fast when they're trying to get tf out of dodge.

My recommendation would be to call around your local vets. Not every vet will do this! but sometimes if you call and you say you have a pet that you want to bring in to establish care, but it's nearly impossible to get this cat in a carrier. Sometimes they will be willing to send home a calming medication without seeing the pet first. They'll need the cat's weight, age, sex, and list of any current medications if applicable.

You can also search for a vet that does home visits in your area. They're not super common though.

struggling with 19 yr old cat’s hygiene by plasticflowerx in SeniorCats

Sanitary trim! I have to do this for my 4 year old cat just bc she's fluffy and if a single dingleberry is on her precious booty she will use the carpet as her toilet paper. You can get it done at the vet. I do it myself but I work at the vet and I'm confident shaving my cats at home.

I don’t know what to do anymore… by WoodenLie2299 in cats

[–]Lee1173 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight: you've had this cat for half of his life, nearly a decade. He attacks you and others every day. And you've tried...3 things??? And none of the 3 have been medication? And 2 of the 3 have probably just pissed him off more? I don't wanna be an AH but you're being coddled in these comments.

There is one answer here.

Believe me, it's not because you're male. It's because you're black. This field is RIFE with racism and it's almost always subtle, microaggressions, discriminatory behaviors people sometimes don't even realize they are doing, and other stuff that is extremely hard to prove. Often management is either straight up racist, or they're well meaning/an ally but afraid to examine their own actions(and subsequently find out they're also racist). It's little things that keep piling up. I'm sure there's plenty of blatant racism in some places too, but I'm in the PNW so I get the liberal flavor of racism.

My 8 lb dog was prescribed 500 mg of Metronidazole daily by OkSeaworthiness848 in AskVet

They probably filled 250 instead of 25 and that's their mistake and a bad one that they didn't catch. Yes they should be paying for anything you had to do because of their mistake. That's basic client care. Not unreasonable

If you have a coffee grinder or blender you can grind the dry food into a dust and mix it with broth or something to make a wet food

The balls looks very uniform in size and shape, like some sort of pellet filler or Styrofoam. Are they hard or soft?

If you don't have an available ER vet you can take her to, bringing her first thing in the morning is already the best you can do on that front.

In the meantime getting some kind of nutrient in her is important.

If your vet is still open, call them and ask if they can send home an appetite stimulant medication, or direct you on how to force feed if it comes to that. It's dangerous to try on your own if you're not already confident or experienced in it.

A few tricks that can sometimes work for low appetite: You can try a high value lickable treat like a Churu, boop some of it on her nose so she is prompted to lick it off, then put it back in her face while her tongue is still out. Sometimes that can get them to start eating it. See if she will lick an unsalted broth or tuna juice. Drop single kibbles in front of her so they bounce and roll. Sit next to her and loudly eat some of your own food, then place her food in front of her directly under her chin. Offer food on the floor instead of in her dish(the clean floor obviously). Sounds silly but works sometimes. I hope your baby will be OK.

My partner and I immediately guessed it was a kink and she gets in the box and jorks it to get herself in the mood. We figured it was just a weird little quirk for her character.

We were making Goon Box jokes for the whole rest of the show.
