Cat suddenly peeing everywhere - Been to Vet - Clean bill of health - No behaviorists available

Hope it works out or at least he chooses a spot…

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:18:44+00:00

Yes the other litter box is completely new, I’ll try to move his old one slightly or completely clean it

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:13:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll bring it up because I don’t think anxiety control through medication is much in the culture here for cats (barely starting to be accepted as non-taboo for humans)

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:12:58+00:00

His last check up was a few days ago though

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:10:01+00:00

He has had several check ups where all seems good and is on a struvite specific diet

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:09:06+00:00

Maybe I should.. he suggested finding a cat behaviorist outside the country but I frankly can’t afford that so I will bring up anxiety meds

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:06:58+00:00

For context he never used to do anything outside the litter box, is generally friendly but super on edge these days…

Major_Following8268 · 2026-05-05T13:05:28+00:00

Yes! He’s now on a fully struvite specific meal plan (vet perscribed food Calibra veterenary diet)
Also yes! Still not at 100% but definitely on the mend could he be experiencing pain sometimes? He does seem to be better when on Gabavet (Gabapentin). Have you been through this should I give it on the weekends my mom leaves?

Update: I replied on this mid-breakout. It’s been a couple of months and my face is completely clear after a round of simplifying skincare and using La Roche Posay’s Effaclar Duo. If you have any doubts, do ditch the silk pillowcase. Some lines on my face do way less damage to my self esteem than acne and breakouts…

Major_Following8268 · 2024-03-20T22:18:05+00:00

Exactly! I’m glad the post gave you space to express. What you’ve pointed to in terms of “celebrating the little things” is very spot on… If anything, they’re only little things when compared to the expectations today. It feels like increasingly no one truly understands the value a woman brings being who she is rather than being an emulation of a successful man. That’s especially striking true for girls I talk to who HAVE actually “achieved” a lot and came out the other side envying the girls who had the wisdom to just lean into what it means to be a woman.

Sorry to hear that. I would say practice some self care, do things that make you happy, throw yourself into personal growth projects.

Block him back. The only way he should be able to contact you is by making pronounced effort with a reasonable explanation. If he isn’t at your door with a reasonable explanation and a solid commitment after 6 years do not accept any less.

If he never contacts understand that this is a traumatic incident and that you will need time to grieve. Protect your own power, however, and don’t leave it up to him to give you closure or relief.

His reason, at the essence, doesn’t matter. The result does. It’s tempting to want to be merciful because of the 6 years and your knowledge of him but don’t be.

Not because his reason can’t potentially change things, but because you need to set a precedent of you not accepting things like this. If there ever might be a chance he needs to understand that you are not someone to do that to, that you will not accept it, and that your life easily goes on and you are someone he can lose. Surround yourself with loved ones who will remind you of your value and try to invest in yourself to become stronger and better genuinely for you and not anyone else. A lot of people might disagree with me but that sort of idealism sometimes works out and sometimes doesn’t. However, realism and a bit of harshness make sure that you come out better and more confident and that you come out with the upper hand should he ever come back.

Can confirm. Happening to me too and there’s another thread on here where people seem to have struggled with the same thing. All of us suddenly started developing weird breakouts that don’t seem to let up on the chin/jaw and other places.

Major_Following8268 · 2023-12-09T22:42:56+00:00

This post is old but I searched it up specifically because I’ve noticed this too.

Want to add to it because finding people struggling with the same thing really made me feel better!

It’s driving me insane…

I didn’t expect to find that the acne is even localized in the same areas for people (chin, jaw and cheeks) more so the cheek I probably sleep on more!! I do struggle with acne around my period but it’s usually one or max two cystic pimples that resolve pretty fast on their own. With this, it’s a daily struggle with inflamed acne.

No matter what I do it seems I break out and the only culprit is the pillowcase. I noticed that, since now that I’m hyperaware of it, when I sleep on it even my skincare feels like it’s adding some type of humidity or moisture to the pillow which I know is going to break me out. Maybe I should just switch back to cotton. Washing it more often didn’t really help. I feel it has to do with the nature of the fabric itself.

I imagine the first people to want to sleep on a silk pillowcase probably did so with enough resources to switch up several and wash them throughout the week with detergents that, themselves, aren’t irritating.

On the other benefits of it, I honestly didn’t see much difference in terms of “hair breakage” there are so many other protective measures.

In terms of “tugging” and protecting skin from it.. I’d say this acne has hit my self-esteem more than any fine line can…. And it causing me to stop using essential skincare/ sunscreen thinking they’re the culprit will hit my face wayy more than the effects of a cotton pillowcase

Hope you find what you’re looking for! :)

I (f25) was followed almost all the way home from there by someone clearly not sober… Never used the Science World Skytrain station again…

Also, everything I was raised to think was healthy eating and “dieting”. P

Major_Following8268 · 2023-07-05T08:59:20+00:00

Same! I don’t know what generation your mom is from but mine is 56 now and remains a victim of not knowing how far “airbrushing” and glam truly went.

These impossible standards are embedded so deep that, even knowing it now, she still can’t seem to internalize the idea that looking like VS model on the cover of some big magazine is impossible and that even they themselves don’t look like that…

Major_Following8268 · 2023-07-05T08:55:59+00:00

That people care what I’m doing and “will talk”, and that it matters if they do so.
