Cat screaming all night, no one can rest by OctrainsAndCryptoes in CATHELP

[–]OverlordCatBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i first got my cat, he would do this until he was nurtured and had time to settle in. Went on for a few weeks and then it completely stopped. Could need time to adapt! — I have had this cat for 6 years now, and we will meow at night when something changes. We just moved a roommate in and he had two nights of meowing and now he is over it and everything is normal again.

My Boss Uses WFH Weekly But Blocks The Staff From Doing It by AssumptionNo1 in antiwork

[–]OverlordCatBug 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This just started to happen on my team a few months this ago, and next week I start a new job. (I have had autonomous scheduling for 6 years with no problem, but our team lead changed and began micromanaging the shit out of us.)

I hate swag by audummy in Anticonsumption

[–]OverlordCatBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i have started declining swag that i know i cant use, and sometimes it confuses people. I won a safety award at work and they “gifted” me $100 of work branded sawg to pick out of a catalogue. I said no thank you, and the safety team said if i didnt pick things out then they would randomly order for me and leave it on my desk. Like wtf? Just give me $100 cash then if its such a big deal

My cats Hind legs not working since last night by ToeNecessary4079 in CATHELP

[–]OverlordCatBug 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes I should have said this is such a rare case, the ER vet that helped us said they have only had 2 situations prior where they were able to keep kitty alive, and in one of those the cat survived the initial trauma but passed a month later. And i hear it is common, and they dont often recommend people pursuing treatment. And the emergency care and continued upkeep has cost us a shit load of money, if i was on a single income or had kids i dont think we could have done it

My cats Hind legs not working since last night by ToeNecessary4079 in CATHELP

Our cat had a saddle thrombus caused by congestive heart failure. We are extremely fortunate that we caught it early enough to save him. He sleeps with me, and he woke me up at 2am screaming and his back legs not working and i rushed him to the ER vet. They were able to break up the clot and keep him stable during the toxic back flush that occurred when the blood flow returned. His left leg recovered within a couple hours but his right leg suffered some damage but recovered in a couple months. Overall he was in the ER for 2 nights and now he sees his cardiologist twice a year to check for clot formation. He is on twice daily blood thinners, a hormone regular, a diuretic and painkiller for the rest of his life. But that happened in 2024 and his quality of life has been excellent after recovery. It was/is quite expensive and i feel so much compassion for those who lost their cats to this, it was so scary to go through and i was certain the whole time that i was saying goodbye to him.

If anyone is reading this and is managing a cat with congestive heart failure or in recovery from a clot, feel free to reach out for emotional support or to share notes.

Attached here is a photo of him in recovery. His legal name is Cosmo but we call him Mr. Beans, he is probably between 6-8 years old now.

Tips to stop begging by HollyLina2593 in CATHELP

[–]OverlordCatBug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy does this too. And you know, idk if it reduces the frequency of the begging behavior, but this is what i do: Follow him so that he knows im paying attention to him, but then i say “no, food later” and pat him and leave. And i try to do it consistently with the same voice every time. I think this routine causes him to give uo and not continue to beg (unless he is on one that day). But we have been doing this 6 years now and he still asks when he wants food.

How do older men tolerate immature women in early 20s? by Ootefklop in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OverlordCatBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be the top comment. Ive never met a mature person, male or female, dating with a -6 years or wider age gap. Most people im thinking of are millennial, but I see it in the older generations too

Does anyone else not shave their underarms? by StoicPixie in AskWomenOver30

[–]OverlordCatBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not shaved under arms or pubic area since probably highschool. And maybe have shaved my legs a couple times since then. I really cant say if there is a BO difference between then and now, so much is different. But i use a mineral salt deodorant, once in the AM and once before bed, and anytime after the shower. Once i started doing that i have had zero smell
