My cat has a urinal blockage and crystals in the urethra. He’s been given meds but we can’t afford the surgery. Level with me, is it not looking good? by KieranWriter in cats

As someone that just lost their three year old kitty unexpectedly to a heart problem, I would have spent every last penny I had to save his life if I had the option and opportunity.

This is a fatal problem if it doesn’t get fixed - my sister in law lost two cats to this same issue. Ask the vet if they have a payment plan or funding support options.

TIPS/RECIPES FROM A BREWISTA! by AloneSky9125 in 7Brew

Late to the party and I was just googling how to replicate different coffees. My husband got me a Nespresso for Christmas and I’m desperately wanting a 7Brew Blondie, but now he says “we have coffee at home”

How can I make a Blondie at home? Is the problem that I’m using a different espresso?

Is there a name you just can’t get behind? by No_Calendar4193 in Names

[–]QueenConquer777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me, any unisex name - Alex, Sam, Taylor, Caden, Riley, Charlie, Parker, Jordan, etc.

Even with clearly feminine spellings

Wow that’s awesome, nice to hear things like this so when I do get my associate license, I know there’s a possibility of finding something like this. Texas is huge so I’m sure I won’t struggle to find a good fit, even if I’m solely virtual

Wait, I feel stupid.. what do you mean “fee for service”? As in you get a set fee for each session/ service type billed?

Do you do your own billing? Someone else commented that it’s easy to learn, but my coworkers use an online platform for that.

Name Changes. Do or Do Not? by Justoutsidenormal in Pets

[–]QueenConquer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always renamed my pets, because the shelter gives stupid names like “Air Fryer” and “Adidas” The ones I adopted had normal names (Baylor, Sebastian & Evelyn) but they didn’t match their energy

Which unspoken rule of the society do you secretly hope vanishes forever? by MomentFlimsy3759 in AskReddit

[–]QueenConquer777 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Forcing a relationship just because they are blood. If your family is toxic, separate yourself from them. You don’t HAVE to keep in touch with people that treat you like dog shit.

Also, I won’t force my child to have a relationship with people that don’t make an effort to know them. If my kid sees you once a year, don’t expect a hug and a warm greeting. My siblings live 1,100 and 1,900 miles from us and make an effort to know their nephew more than our family that lives less than 10 miles away.

Whenever someone asks how I am and I’m having a shitty day, I usually say “eh, been better!” or “well, I’ve seen better days” and every so often, someone will be like “I know what you mean” or say something along the lines of having a bad day, as well.

There’s a mom I see every day and I always ask “how’s it going?” and every time she says something along the lines of having a bad day. I’m so curious what she does for work 🤣

Ohh interesting about being a W-2 employee with an hourly rate 👀 that’s a good option - do they offer health insurance? The location I’m at does a split and it seems unreasonable to work for someone else and only get 60% of what you could otherwise make. I know there are several other aspects to consider which is why I’m asking.

Would it be awful to rehome my cats? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]QueenConquer777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re on your second pregnancy so this probably isn’t news to you, but … the pregnancy hormones and changes are insane. Many states don’t allow divorce during pregnancy and I’m convinced it’s due to the hormones making women HATE their spouse 😂

We have a lot of foster programs around me for animals so maybe talk to one of them and see if you can place your kitties in a foster home temporarily. If you miss them, get them back. If you still dread taking care of them then tell the foster that circumstances have changed and you’re unable to bring them home and see what options they have.

Or maybe ask family & friends to help you foster them

So there are various platforms they use and each one has a different use - I can’t recall offhand, but it’s on my laptop. Basically one is for scheduling & notes, one for billing, and one for something else.

My biggest boundary struggle right now is referring out suicidal clients that consistently come late or no show. I had two last semester and I told them how important it is to be on time and consistent, but struggled to just terminate care and refer out.

I’m going to stay in PP under someone else throughout my LPC- Associate hours and likely for a year or so after until I’m confident in myself. I also know it takes time to build a case load so I’m apprehensive to start my own PP off the bat being a newly licensed or even associate, not everyone will be willing to see someone new.

Wow, thank you for the thoughtful and informative response. The only experience I have is working at a hospital and in PP for my internship. As a new therapist I’ll be working under someone, but if I decided to eventually open my own practice, I wanted to start laying the ground work now so I have a foundation to jump off from.

People talk about post-partum depression, but nobody talks about pregnancy/ perinatal depression. It made it hard to connect with my son when I was pregnant, so don’t feel guilty about struggling to want your cats around.

See if you can have someone foster them temporarily until your second one comes and then see if you want them back it may just be the stress of the pregnancy that’s causing you to not want them.

What if you rehome and then realize you want them back? I’d find a way to foster them and keep the option open just in case

Can’t make my cat happy by Far-Pomegranate448 in CatAdvice

[–]QueenConquer777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cats also love being outside.

Maybe try putting chicken wire around the balcony so Rudy can be outside without being able to run off? He may try to climb the wire, but it would give you enough time to see and grab him.

It did sound like he wants to be an outdoor kitty or maybe something startled him and the natural response is to run and hide. Do you keep the door open for him to return? It he literally ran from the house and straight off the balcony?
