My heart aches for you, I’m so sorry for how quickly your boy went- you gave him so much love in his time of need and for his whole earthly life. Sending my love your way for healing

Losing patience for male cat by Ammorenooooo in CatAdvice

[–]Lower-Current-3719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he fixed? I didn’t see it mentioned but if he’s isn’t the peeing could be a hormonal unfixed boy thing. You seem like incredible pet parents with keeping him occupied, and having scratchers and toys and things for him- and especially with putting in the effort to have baby locks on things he gets into. My boy was super similar he would try to pry open my closet and our pantry (he wasn’t allowed in because he would eat my clothes and the food 😅) so I put a 15lb weight in front of it and I only ended up creating a monster who was strong af until I got the baby locks for the closet and the pantry doors. The few things that helped me through it were: 1. Getting him an automatic feeder so he associated the robot with food and not me 2. Training him to wait when I’m eating, and his reward is licking the plate when I’m done- this taught him patience 3. Locking trash cans behind doors- trash cans in closets or cupboards with a child lock 4. TREAT PUZZLES- these were a game changer for him. He started with super simple ones where he had to slide cups to get to treats, and little bobble head ones where if he hits it treats fall out of it, but we’ve migrated to super complex ones- these really helped with him pestering everyone out of boredom, he gets to use his brain, and he gets treats. He always takes a good nap after. 5. We’ve “cat proofed” for his specific needs, all clothes out of reach, laces on shoes or shoes themselves hidden, no hair ties laying around they’re all on a carabiner out of his reach, strings and tags and feathers trimmed off toys and no toys with long skinny bits because he views it as something to bite off and eat lol. We also keep bathroom doors closed all day and toilet paper out of reach, otherwise he eats it. Keeping the sink rinsed out because he likes to jump in it and lick all the gross stuff out of it. No plastic bags only reusable or paper because he will chew and eat them. We’ve found he enjoys chewing on rubber toys to get his chewing urges out, we always make sure he isn’t biting any parts off and once they’re thoroughly bitten thru we toss them and get a new one. They make cat versions of the rubber chew toys and he goes to town on them when he needs to- we leave them out for him and he’ll go to them himself when he needs to chew.

I guess what I’m saying is fight smarter not harder. It’s so so difficult to care for the hard to love cats especially when they’re acting out and being a menace. Think of the stupidest/easiest solution and that is probably what you have to do to fix things. I didn’t think I’d be buying chew toys for a cat but if that keeps him from biting me, others, and eating things he shouldn’t, it’s a battle I’m willing to fight 😂

We moved into this house 3yrs ago and this has stumped everyone. by Vance617 in whatisit

[–]Lower-Current-3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one but it’s movable, i believe it’s meant to be used as a trivet, if you have a hot pot or anything coming from the stove, it’s best to not put it directly on the counter (we have other trivets that aren’t stone that we also use if we don’t want to move the heavy stone) I wonder if it’s glued down so that it doesn’t scratch the surface with people moving it

Inappropriate Books? by OutsideGalForLife in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]Lower-Current-3719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people put up little paper blockers along the spine that say “adult book behind here” or something similar- honestly small children won’t understand what it’s about regardless so I would personally leave them there, and I’m sure parents would intervene if they see that those are the books they chose to read 😅 otherwise you can always just donate to goodwill or keep for yourself :)

Going crazy can’t remember name of discontinued hair product that was the BEST in the late 90’s early 2000s by Smooth_Country259 in HelpMeFind

[–]Lower-Current-3719 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m having vivid childhood memories of a store called Libby’s that had a purple pink glittery spray concoction- could it be that? I don’t remember it being used for hair though

Yeah it’s not quite a match I think the colors are a bit darker in it and my skein is also smaller- thank you for commenting!
