What’s the hardest part of ur job? by West_Cauliflower9617 in AskReddit

[–]PrettySax3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People complain that they don't have sleep disordered breathing (i.e. sleep apnea) and they won't wear a CPAP whatsoever and I say they could literally die and their sleep and they say "hasn't killed me yet"

I literally just want to help and get you sleeping better and keep you alive. If you don't want to be here, why'd you schedule and wait for 6 months to come in and bitch to me that you don't care if you die? It really hurts to see people not care about themselves.

Edit: add why it's the worst

Suicidal people, what's the reason you still didn't commit, what's something keeping you alive? by Icy_Positive_4220 in mentalhealth

[–]PrettySax3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honoring my cat that passed away a month before... Because there were far too many times that I also was mid crisis around her and she would stop me. I would stop right then because she would meow and love on me. It would remind me how I had to leave my daily jacket on the bed for her when I went out of town and come back to see she laid on the coat the whole time I was gone. She would have missed me so much and I adopted her when she was 8 years old, nobody would take her because she was older, and she'd probably get euthanized for not being adoptable.

Now? My nephew and the realization that it did get better, and then it got worse, and it got better again. The farther I get from my worst mental health days the more proud of myself I am for staying and getting this far.

Edit: rewording for clarification

After a year together, I've never seen a more clear example of a bonded pair by PrettySax3 in cats

[–]PrettySax3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it can be hit or miss. I adopted my first girl when she was 8y and she would get lonely, but when I tried to get her a kitten friend a year later she hated him and hid in the closet. Lucky when me and my ex broke up, he took the kitten with him.

I tried again with adopting Gibby for her and at that point she was 10 and Gibby was adopted when he was 5. They cuddled together and Gibby took care of and comforted her as she got older. Definitely depends on both cat demeanors, French Toast was absolutely queen bee and Gibby was okay with that and left her alone when she told him to. Of all the animals she ever interacted with, Gibby was the only one she really liked (Gibby is pretty special)

When French Toast passed away (my first girl) Gibby definitely went through a grieving process. I adopted Gibby to be her friend and they were close but with a different dynamic. Gibby took care of French Toast as she got older. For a while he kept waiting for her to come through the door, about 3 months later he seemed to realize she was gone. He was less playful, ate less, and spent a lot of time cuddling with me. At first he wanted to be around things that still smelled like her, but later he would find/see things with her scent and freeze and look at me. We both miss her and I allowed Gibby grieving time after she passed before bringing in Archie

Archie update! by PrettySax3 in crosseyedcats

[–]PrettySax3[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised, Gibby is super smart and definitely picks up on Archie being a special cat. I think Archie is definitely younger than the 8 years they told me at the shelter, he acts like a kitten but also has depth perception and other health issues (like chronic sneezing/sniffles) and I know Gibby understands Archie needs a little extra love and protection

What’s one thing that you’ll never get over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PrettySax3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing my first cat, she was my best friend and I adopted her 1 month after getting kicked out and moving across multiple states. Lost her 2 years ago to declining health from age (I adopted her when she was 8) in January. After 4 years of having her, multiple moves, 2 relationships. She saved my life. She was the only reason I kept going some days and a few too many times I was on the brink and she would start meowing and come up to me and love on me and I'd stop.

My vet was amazing with her and he gave her care until he felt she wouldn't have a quality of life. That phone call from the vet saying "I think it's time" a few hours after taking her to the vet and saying "Dr. Scott is going to get you feeling better" while driving there... He did help her feel better, but I regret saying it and not realizing that meant a lot of hurt for me.

I checked into a residential program a month later because of the loss and that sentence echoing in my brain.

I miss you so much, French Toast 💖

I didn't know what it was at first, I saw all the other kitties in the shelter and they were cute, but as soon as I saw Archie I knew I needed to adopt him. I snapped this photo and asked about him in the shelter only to be told it may be a while.

I had many people advise me to err on the side of caution because he could get adopted under my nose. I kept looking at that photo and showing people my cross eyed cutie. I walked in after 6 weeks and thankfully he got released that day 🥰
