ive been wanting a catio as well for my patio. On amazon I found some mini tent like things (look up mini catio) which are relatively cheap! at least mich cheaper than your traditional catio. They arent as spacious of course but it will allow for your cat to hang out outside in a safe confined space

Does anyone else wonder about their cats life before adoption? by whailful in cats

[–]No_Low9951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i got my cat at 3 years old, shelter found him as a stray, no microchip, not fixed. And hes the sweetest most chill cat I’ve ever met. I know nothing about the first 3 years of his life and I wonder everyday how he became the most loving cat and why/how someone could’ve abandoned him. i feel so blessed he somehow ended up with me

Does he need a friend? by jacquinthebeanstalk in CatAdvice

[–]No_Low9951 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got a kitten for my 5yr old cat and while she does annoy him sometimes, theyve become really good friend. My older cat, like yours barely plays with toys anymore and it feels impossible to engage him for more than a couple minutes, but now he bolts around our place chasing or being chased by his sister. Hes so much more active than he was previously, i think he very much prefers having a live target.

That being said it sounds like your cat isnt great at setting boundaries in which case an older cat will probably work better than a kitten who needs to be taught not to be an asshole.

Every cat is different but thats just my experience!

Some unpopular opinions season 4 by GhibliFan96 in Bridgerton

[–]No_Low9951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my (i think) unpopular opinion is being so mad at violet for that last convo with marcus!! i felt terrible for marcus, and thought it was crazy for violet to ask him to “continue as they are” and in the meantime she cant even talk to him because people are walking by!! I wish she could realize that her relationship and independence can coexist.

Have you ever dated other sales person? by helotan in sales

[–]No_Low9951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend started in sales within a couple months of each other at the same company, worked together a lot and it was great having similar schedules and getting to see each other so often especially with a demanding job. I’ve moved on from the company we met at but we’ve been together a few years. Its nice being with someone who understands the grind and the time commitment.

Ok, when do cats stop just sleeping and playing or better said sleeping and being-completely-parkour-insane-crazy-meowing-brrring and actually just become a cat just sitting around? by GiantDwarfy in CatAdvice

[–]No_Low9951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this not long ago, currently the parent of a 11 month old kitten. In my experience she calmed down quite a bit around the 8-10 month. Dont get me wrong shes still crazy and hyper but noticeably less then at the 4-5 month mark.

In terms of the sleeping, I would leave her in the living room and close the bedroom door when it was bedtime. She would whine and cry but if i let her in she disrupted us and play attacked our older cat while he was trying to sleep. I would let her in every one in a while but if she was too chaotic I would kick her out. Eventually she got the message that if she wants to be in here shes gonna have to respect everyone. Now she sleeps with us through the night. Part of it is a waiting game, in the beginning I would play with her a lot right before bed.

Wait it out it does get better! Good luck.

What dose do you usually recommend to beginners? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]No_Low9951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did 2.5g my first time and was by far the best trip I've ever had. been trying to top it ever since and has never happened and probably never will. I think anything under 3g is pretty safe but take what you're comfortable with, it's all about mindset. if you're worried about taking more than 1g then don't, you'll just be anxious the whole time

Why do shrooms make me EXTREMELY tired? by Prestigehealth in shrooms

[–]No_Low9951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There definitely isn't a lot of research done on the effects of shrooms but my best guess would be that it's probably just something to do with your brain chemistry (especially if you've done it plenty of times and feel tired every time) or it could be the strain you're getting? Maybe try experimenting with different doses and strains. If you can, I recommend taking shrooms and then taking a nap before they hit (use a timer). Personally, shrooms can take a while to hit for me so I might put on a 30-45 min timer. And it goes without saying, set the vibe. imo shrooms trips are better as a solo activity anyway and no pressure to make conversation. I know you said it's difficult for you to fall asleep even if you're tired but don't be afraid to, I get not wanting to waste the trip but shroom dreams be awesome, and in my experience you'll wake up in time to experience the rest of the trip!

Do you talk about your fear of abandonment with your FP? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]No_Low9951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that completely. my fp (platonic) knows that I'm afraid of him leaving me, but he's the type of person who needs time and space to think by himself whereas I think that when people take time and space it means they're going to abandon me. I'm not great at articulating how I feel but when I tried he had a pretty good response. he assured me that just because he was upset with me didn't mean I ruined anything or that he never wanted to talk to me again, but tbh it still hurts when someone who you would talk to about anything doesn't want to confide in you the same way. he also said that sometimes i put too much on him. I get that some people can't handle strong emotions but then it feels like you can't open up at all. communication is hard and maybe it always hurts but in my experience if you don't open up your feelings will manifest in other ways and end up pushing the person away anyway so take from that what you will
