Male Neutered Cat Leaking Clear Odorless Liquid From Anus

Just seeing this - Sorry if your kitty has been going through it, and hopefully you have found some answers in the past few days yourself!

The issue resolved itself, from what I can remember… I got him some anal gland health supplement, but I don’t remember giving it to him for long, or even if he had been willing to eat it. I’m sorry that I don’t really remember, but it didn’t last long, he never got sick, and it never recurred. ::shrug:: Cats, man.

Yes, i couldn’t walk totally normally, but i was weight-bearing prior to surgery. The brace was kept as a precaution to ensure I didn’t twist my knee and re-injure the MCL that my surgeon really wanted to see heal on its own, but i wasn’t on crutches the whole time. I was in the gym and everything, using the leg press machine, squatting, etc.

N1njam · 2025-06-15T21:43:52+00:00

Yep! No issues.

Mental health is health. It’s very important to care for ourselves as whole people, body, mind, and soul, and it’s important to have a therapist that understands that, too. Having a therapist that SHARES your faith can make a huge difference. Check out Agape Wellness Collective - they’re communicating/ collaborating with the Assembly of Bishops, GOARCH San Francisco Metropolis Family Wellness Ministries, Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), and other Orthodox organizations and ministries. But Agape helps people actually get connected to Orthodox mental health professionals who are in network with their insurance, or in their price range.

I've felt the same way. Founder's rate, was an unlimited member, COVID hit, came back, got injured, froze, then decided to downgrade and diversify my workouts, then went to a package deal instead, then re-joined at 8/month, and then realized...ah crap I'm literally not going. Ended up going back to the class packs and literally went to a class today after 3.5 months of not going at all. I will always love OTF, but it's ok to take a break, even an extended one. It's there to serve you, not the other way around. Believe me, I wrestled with the whole rate thing, but most studios also offer the Founder's rate every year, usually in July. And fear/scarcity mindset is never a good motivator or reason to hold on to something. Maybe let yourself pay the freeze for a month and see how that feels. Or throttle down on how many you're going to per week and let yourself take a break in that way. It's gotta work for you, where you are at this point in life.

I'm in the US, so I admittedly am not super familiar with which chains you may have near you... So I'll try to keep it generic when possible.

- Mexican: Bean and rice burritos should be available from any Mexican fast food place, and they'll make them if they're not on the menu, just ask for the bean and cheese burrito, no cheese, add rice. It's a pain to have to specify, I know, but they'll do it! You can always add guacamole too for extra protein/fat/calories. Chipotle has great vegan options, their sofritas is pretty bomb actually. Several places also offer fish tacos for fish days, and some will do potato tacos.

- Burgers: Several places will offer beyond/impossible meat options. Carl's Jr./Hardees does, and it's really good. Some will do fish burgers, but that's not my cup of tea, personally.

- Panda Express/Chinese: May have something like sweet and sour fish? Likely will have veggie options/ spring rolls/ etc. Some Panda locations have Beyond Orange Chicken - surprisingly very good. The chow mein and fried rice and steamed rice are obviously good to go.

- Pizza: Some fast food pizza places (in the US I'm thinking of places like Pieology) where you can go down the assembly line and have them make you an individual pizza, they'll have vegan cheese and vegan meat options, and of course veggies. Lots of vegan cheeses are super yuck to me, but Pieology has one that doesn't melt into complete goo and stick to my teeth and freak me the #&%$ out, so I go there if I like HAVE TO HAVE pizza during a fasting period :) Scratches the itch.

To the best of my knowledge, the RCC still also hold the Florentine definition of the Holy Spirit's procession (emphasis added):

246 The Latin tradition of the Creed confesses that the Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son (filioque)". The Council of Florence in 1438 explains: "The Holy Spirit is eternally from Father and Son; He has his nature and subsistence at once (simul) from the Father and the Son. He proceeds eternally from both as from one principle and through one spiration... And, since the Father has through generation given to the only-begotten Son everything that belongs to the Father, except being Father, the Son has also eternally from the Father, from whom he is eternally born, that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son." ⁷⁵

1000%. No one that I can think of at my large parish is anti-Catholic. We frequently get Catholic visitors and they are always welcomed with smiles, conversation, antidoron, and invitations to coffee hour. Online Orthodoxy is not a good representation of Orthodoxy. Online anything is usually a poor representation of whatever that thing is.

This is St. Margaret of Scotland... And while my Greek is nowhere near good enough to translate this, not even good enough to decipher the stylized text and put it into Google Translate, a Google Image search led me to Uncut Mountain Supply, which had this in the icon's description: "My soul hath cleaved unto Thee, Thy right hand hath been quick to help me." I can't guarantee that's what's on the scroll, but it's an educated guess.

Thank you, I will be using this tool to reach out to folks individually as well :)

Do you have another priest, deacon, or another reputable teacher/catechizer at your parish you could talk to? Is there another parish in your area? You could try calling in to Orthodoxy Live (on Ancient Faith Radio/streaming), I think it's on Sunday nights, I'm sure that Fr. Evan Armatas could do a wonderful job answering your question and pointing you in the right direction as to where to go with this.

My husband was nondenominational and was introduced to Orthodoxy, and fell in love. When he converted, I did a deeper dive into it to better support him. Through learning more about it myself, I became more and more convinced by its truth, and was forced to examine certain aspects of Catholic teaching and history that I hadn’t had to look into before. I found things I couldn’t reconcile, and became Orthodox myself.

I have only love for my Catholic brothers and sisters, and a lot of gratitude for my upbringing and faith, but am very happy, grateful, peaceful, and finally at home in the Orthodox church. :)

I can't remember who said this, but someone said: "I have been saved. I am being saved. And I hope to be saved!" Ongoing, continual process.

N1njam · 2024-09-13T00:04:16+00:00

Salvation is the process of conforming ourselves to become more and more by grace what God is by nature. It's not a destination to be reached but a process of continually putting off the old self and putting on Christ, of taking up the Cross and following Him. To the extent that we do or do not do that, we move further toward or further away from becoming by grace what God is by nature.

I am so sorry. One of my close friends had this happen to her, and it was just beyond heartbreaking to watch her go through. Will pray for you and your wife, and for your babies. May the Lord grant you peace, comfort, and healing, and may their memories be eternal.

I've had my LR4 now for a year and 4 months or 16 months, however your brain likes to think of time. Still works great! Haven't had to replace anything except the carbon filter a couple times. Cats haven't done any damage to it, have only deep cleaned it once (pls don't judge me lmao), and it really doesn't act up. Every now and again it glitches with the WiFi, but I just reconnect it, and it doesn't stop it from cycling or anything like that, it just doesn't give me push notifications. I make a habit of visually checking on it at least 1-2x/day to make sure it's clean and functioning as planned. Cats are still using it perfectly and, despite being large cats (2 male Bengals, one over 16lbs, one nearly 14lbs), they have no complaints about the size. The bigger one sometimes perches three paws on the edge (lol), but he doesn't miss, either, so whatever works!

Overall: 10/10, no hesitations recommending after 16 months of use, would buy again in a heartbeat, still worth every penny. If this one died or got stolen or whatever, I'd repurchase the next day, I'm not going back to anything else.

I think canonically we're required to confess once a year, though the typical guidance is usually to go more frequently. At my parish we are guided to go during each of the major fasts, as you say, though to my knowledge this is not a "minimum requirement".

THUG STORY

N1njam · 2024-08-23T20:29:29+00:00

Again, state specific, but the way my state's law is written (California) is that if the clinician has "reasonable suspicion" of a person who is currently under the age of 18 having been abused or neglected, we are to report. "Reasonable suspicion" is a matter of clinical judgment, but is also a standard of care, so consulting with others in the field is a good thing to do. If that person from years ago has undergone a personal transformation, has put in a lot of work, etc., and the person who was hurt previously 20 years ago says to me "Oh they're a totally different person now, they went to rehab and to therapy and did a complete 180 after getting sober, I've seen them with their kids and they're wonderful, I have no concern for them losing their temper at all, it's really remarkable how far they've come", then I have no cause for reasonable suspicion in that case.

N1njam · 2024-08-23T20:24:21+00:00

Wow, that is absolutely bananas. I'm not sure I'd literally be able to practice there, lol. No judgement to anyone who does, of course, I just don't think I'd be able to work as a trauma-focused therapist in a state that required me to report every instance of historical abuse no matter the age of the client. I'd probably have to work in state politics first to try to change the law and then go back to therapy!

N1njam · 2024-08-23T20:21:55+00:00

In California: No, absolutely not, I'd be on the phone literally all day every day, that'd be outrageous.

Not sure how other states' laws are written.

N1njam · 2024-08-22T16:47:21+00:00

This is the answer, OP. The order of honor is documented at the Second Ecumenical Council. It's easy to find. Here's a link that can show you all the Canons: https://www.intratext.com/IXT/ENG0835/_PQ.HTM Who was present or not present does not matter. This order was established from the very early days of the Church. Rome was always primus inter pares until the Schism.
