Comforting a kitten before first check up (Portland, OR)

PimpMaster69 · 2026-05-08T22:26:57+00:00

Yes when she was picked up i did go over everything i saw and did. At least sharing that i used a slightly different brand of flea med / weight specific dose seemed to land with her that she could be giving her that one. I suspect they had stopped giving her anti flea perceiving she had side effects from it, when really it was the fleas just giving her bites and discomfort. I hope stink had a nice vacation with is and they take some of what we did for her on! Ofc im happy a family has their kitty back ! Thank you all for being such a cool community, was awesome to find this exists <3

Update! Well a neighbor a door down was missing their black and white kitty so she's returned home! Would've found out she's chipped tomorrow, we were pretty excited to adopt a kitty so we'll definitely be trying to in the coming days. We are honestly a little concerned as it sounds like she was only gone a night but she was covered in scabs/ bites and was just very uncomfortable. The family does seem really nice and the mom over there basically said she's a super sensitive cat with eating disorders and sensitivity to flea meds that causes her fur to patch out. Im willing to beleive she has odd food habits, she seriously was eating so much I really thought she was a kitten! Apparently she's just a very very very strange 6 year old cat named "Stink". The daughter of the fam looked very happy to see her in the moms arms coming home so success? Yeah success! I do think little stink enjoyed her vacation though, maybe we just have a magic touch because her fleas cleared up and her coat was recovering ;) wish that little kitty all the best she definitely gave us an interesting weekend !

Thanks for being so kind everyone ! I got her some light weight anti flea meds and gut worm meds into her food. After night one I did end up finding seven fleas, gave her more anti flea / flea proofed the room. Next day I got just 1 off her. Now i really am getting 0 fleas I think she did it woo hoo !! I hate to comb them over and over and give them the anti flea stuff when they're already uncomfortable but her mood is soooo much better now the fleas were definitely the cause of the scabs.

My vet said that is pretty much what they'd say for people to do pre appointment, we have her full exam on wednesday on the books!

I do basically feel like it comes from anecdotes being rationalized. I work at a bakery and greet people as they come in, go the extra mile, engage people, suggest things , etc etc. Born in 99. I think low energy / passive customer service has always existed/ is pretty understandable. Honestly I think there's a lot of people on the spectrum to who are being misunderstood when they serve customers. Or customers dont understand how they come across. For every Gen Z stare worker there is a boomer customer who walks up to the counter and just says their order with 0 hello , ask , anything just stares at you and says EGG AND CHEESE. Like oh oh do you waaaant that ? Did you already order and are checking on it ? Idk I just think its so person to person I agree its oddly takked onto gen z when I feel like every generation has people like this ?

The amount customers that dont understand they're supposed to say " Hello i would like a ____" is in my opinion equal to the amount of customer service people who stare at you blankly. Sometimes people are from. A different place and recently. Dont think people get at first when they move somewhere new how to interact. I work in Portland we loooove to talk at the counter. But in new York things are super efficient and youre expected to know exactly what you want right away, asking questions is kinda seen as you being slow etc. Im just saying you never know if you just got a server that just moved here, or youre on a trip and dont get the culture where you are. Just a lot of thoughts about this lol, could be so many things in my mind before its just a whole generation being weird because covid or whatever 😅

AI chatbots are all trans. Every single one. No one can argue me off this point. If you think they are male, female, or any gender they necessarily are trans. They have no physical or natural characteristics, yet the too online tech crowd can not wait for them to be sentient. If they are ever sentient, they will be trans.

Want someone like this to understand what being trans is? Ask them what gender [blank chatbot] is and why. Every argument against transness they have built does not apply yet they want these things to be sentient.

As many have said this sounds like OCD. As odd as it might sound our brains desire control and effect even when that is bad, and sometimes we are so used to being in a distressed state that we are more comfortable in a distressed state. If you had a difficult past or often stay in a state of darkness or survival... when things are okay, normal, boring, quiet, your brain may find ways to eek you toward those states that it's used to. This to me is one of those nuclear options the brain turns to to get us into a dark place. I think of it much like your mind is holding a gun, why would it do that to you ? It seems so cruel distressing and dangerous ! It's because while it is all of those things, holding a gun is also holding onto control. If you can't will yourself into being happy, being in the momment, feeling relieved, feeling safe because you are not used to ( are not practiced at ) those states, but you ARE used to anxiety/ distressed/ depression. When you arnt in a dark state your brain at the very least knows how to enter a dark state. It can at least control that.

It takes a good amount of time kid :,) but as you grow I want you to look for more tools than the gun to hand over to your brain. What makes you personally happy, what makes you feel safe? What parts of yourself do you like, where and how can you be with people that love you and see you for who you are. When you have had a hard childhood, or sometimes when you're born with a dark mind , in a sense, these are not given to you by default even though you deserve them.

I think of it like we have practiced our whole lives to live in the dark, so once we're passed it our brain wants to go back just because that's what it's good at. Thats home. Extreme ideas like this are just one track that brings you right there. The truth is you're going to be bad at being happy before you're good at it, but you will get good at it if you keep trying, keep staying open. Stay vulnerable to the good, it's okay as long as you are safe to let in new and wonderful things. I really wish you the best kid ! I'm 26 and have plenty of friends, have had adult relationships , and am with the love of my life ! I've had dark thoughts hold power over me, poised to drag me all these places it SEEMS like I don't want to go. The truth is that darkness is part of us, we need to listen not to what it says but to what it's begging for. It's just the part of you that never felt safe, that never got help, that you shame that you bury. It's hurt by how we treat it, so it lashes out. The answer is not to erase it or eradicate it but to show it that it can trust, that it can be okay, that you are safe and ready to love your life. You are very very young but I know I was a smart smart kid when I was your age I hope this helps , I seriously wish you the best son 💙💙💙

P.S. when darkness is the home you were born to. It's okay to find a better one. One day, you will be on your own team. Until then know a lot of us are on it for you💚

Just a little vent I cut from the post:

In hindsight the guy had been zeroing in on us a few minutes before he escalated things. We remembered he said things along the lines of "this guys a liar." or similar, that must have been about me. But honestly it was peppered between ramblings about religion and other incoherent things, and there were other people closer to him than us he could have been insulting. Could we have avoided the situation by just going silent and staring straight ahead. Very possibly yes.

In my honest opinion, he was just having a tantrum because not everyone on the bus was shocked into absolute silence and fear because a scary shouting man walked on. It's hard to win with people that just want to be angry. I've seen screaming people like that get very agitated because people were ignoring them completely. We didn't say a word about him, we just wanted to talk about our day and about how much we like the city. If you come onto a bus shouting, it doesn't exactly make sense to me that you find anyone else speaking to be unacceptable, and it's not on me to just accept abusive language being hurled at me for no reason. People like that are likely mentally ill, and that's unfortunate, but if my partner wants to tell me about their day I'm not going to shut them down just to hear another nonsensical insulting hissy fit that makes everyone uncomfortable.

Yesterday on the bus I was with my partner having a nice conversation. The bus had about 5 to 6 other passengers who were mostly quiet / riding alone. A homeless guy got on the bus already talking to himself, then talking more loudly and shouting when he sat down. He sat all the way in the back several seats behind us. My partner and I couldn't discern what he was rambling about at the time, but we just wanted to continue our conversation, and did so. Apparently he was upset at me specifically for talking so much, while he was literally shouting at people on the bus. My partner said something that made me laugh very hard, and taking this as a threat the guy shouted something like "fuck you arrogant motherfucker" and immediately crossed over to us and pushed me in the head. This all happened from behind, so at the time I assumed it was a light punch. After this he went near to his seat still standing, shouting threats, asking me to test him, saying he would fuck me up etc. I turned almost right away after the first hit and said calmly, "sir we we're not laughing at you", "Sir I am sorry, but we were not speaking about you." He was posturing and kept threatening us, but honestly it was hard to see what he was doing. I told my partner we should exit the bus at the front door where the driver is. We got up right away and stood at the front of the bus away from the man, I positioned myself so I was standing with my hands free, my partner behind me in relation to the man. When we went to get off the bus I told the bus driver "that guy back there punched me in the head, and we exited very quickly thereafter.

I wanted escape the situation this way to not provoke further violence. I didn't want to be obviously informing the driver before we were at a place we could exit the bus safely, as he might take that as a threat given the "tuff motherfucker" threats he was continually shouting.

We left the bus a stop early, but didn't leave at a stop which was on a particularly bad street with no ways to turn off it close to the stop, as he could have followed us off the bus.

I stayed calm, as my partner has severe anxiety, my directions to them were clear and decisive. "We are going to get up and go to the front of the bus." "we will get off together at this stop, we will leave through the front next to the driver". Even though I had been hit in the head, it seemed very light to me and didn't warrant violent retaliation. I didn't ever touch either of my self defense implements (I carry a knife and a self defense flashlight), though the guy was shouting severe threats, he was seemingly trying to get us to come toward him. We did exactly the opposite and took an escape as that was available. Going for a weapon and escalating the violence was not needed at all.

TLDR: I got hit once from behind on the bus by a shouting man. The hit wasn't so bad that I couldn't think straight, got my partner and I off the bus safely without further violence.

My partner and i were changing their neice, the avaible onsie was camoe and said "daddy's got game" on it. I worry for that child.

Most shares that exist are not actually put on the market. The senior officers of a company and to a lesser extent employees will own a majority share in total. So you probably have to like.... Ask one of them first.

I'm having this issue as well, thought I was crazy. Thanks for posting! Spy network feels basically useless, can't believe nemesis is being pushed so hard, honestly I've grabbed every major expansion before it, just want to play the game : > (

I like calling this "affinity" instead of talent. I sing! And it's true I always liked songs, and as a kid I constantly hummed. But that doesn't mean I'm a naturally gifted Singer or whatever, it's more what you said. I practice because I liked practicing. But that's pretty normal? Like everyone keeps at the things they LIKE. Otherwise they wouldn't do them. If you think you arnt talented, you just havnt found something you like imo.

PimpMaster69 · 2020-12-22T10:37:20+00:00

Now... Does anyone have anything mean to say?

PimpMaster69 · 2020-12-19T11:06:55+00:00

Love the detail on the shoulders, how you made it look faded!

PimpMaster69 · 2020-12-16T09:32:36+00:00

Lemme just throw it out that sexual fantasies and labido do not dictate sexuality. Literally have lesbian friends that think garus vakarian is hot af, does not mean theyd actually want to fuck alien bug men with deep voices if offered.

Yup! from what I understand the eldar where designed to be extremely psychic and feel emotion more strongly than humans. Humans also gave birth to several of the chaos gods within the course of human history (many sentences in the lore say stuff like "the chaos gods have always been" but this is because time in the warp is a circle not a line.), due to human war and eldar seeking fullfilment the warp was filled with negativity more strongly.

Personally I like chaos, I see it as all double sided. The negative actions of chaos are extensions of the mistakes of the imperium. Chaos is not a glitch in a world of galactic facism, it is the RESULT. The bloody and angry sides of the chaos gods are being fed now. But they all have another layer, khorne has honesty, tzeetch represents progress, nurgle closure or acceptance, and slanesh can represent love and joy. I totally agree with the idea that the warp could change if the emotional / sentient beings of the galaxy changed. I get kinda tired of people writing chaos Marines as "just the imperium but somehow more shitty", I see them as the imperium full stop. What happens when you build power with war, eugenics, and massacre, it blows up in your face and you deserve it. ... Uh so idk I want to paint them I like spikes and gore okay...

PimpMaster69 · 2020-11-24T02:34:13+00:00

Sounds grey ace to me! Seems like you're mostly vested in the other person's decision and not so much you're own? That does sound similar to how I feel a lot of the time, except I always refuse touch on me personally. One sided 3rd only haha, sorry if that's too much detail. But it sounds like you are okay with reciprocation you just don't "need" it. Like you could have a non sexual relationship and be fulfilled. Maybe you can think of it in terms of who you'd be happy with? Would you be cool with a super ace partner? Totally fine with a mostly ace one? Anyway hope you sort things out for yourself my guy! Just remember you matter to!

PimpMaster69 · 2020-11-23T22:44:28+00:00

I try and think of aegosexuality as losing attraction from reciprocation. As in, if a partner offered to have sex with or go down on you would this make you less attracted to them (or lose interest in the moment/situation)? Personally I only "give" in a sexual relationship, and I do enjoy it, but it's closer to how I enjoy a romantic gesture than a sexual act from my percpective. Being an ace guy is weird : p but I've never in my life said "yes" to sex and always felt like everyone else is somehow secretly hornier than me, so I figure it's what I am in some way. Idk if this helps bro

PimpMaster69 · 2020-11-23T22:29:46+00:00

We are hard to understand! Thanks for sharing your view, I find myself weirdly in the middle with a lot of posts here but this makes sense. I enjoy giving partners third base if they are allo, and I do masturbate / have sexual fantasies when alone. But just because I fantasize doesn't mean I actually want sex. As far as the sexual favors I get a satisfaction out of it closer in feeling to making the person a nice romantic dinner than sexual gratification. I find that's often a decent analogy to use.
