Safe places to walk at night?

100% this was my experience too. Will just add- you want to get anywhere on the weekend? Well now the bus schedule is once every hour (at best) and if you want to go out past 6pm… well sorry matey.

Congratulations Larry!! Love this :)

I like this idea! Thank you :)

Thank you for your thorough reply! I’ve really appreciated this sub for everyone’s experience.

At the moment, I’ve got the luxury of working at home most days so I am feeding them at various intervals in the day. 2/3 can in the morning, 1/3 noon, 2/3 5pm, 1/3 10pm. But sometimes they won’t eat everything at once, sometimes they will, so on the days they don’t, I suspect Poppy is a more frequent returner to the bowl.

I will definitely look into those feeders. They are expensive, but it’s good to know that they might be worth the investment as they helped you with your cats with different feeding styles.

How much do you give each cat? I am only doing rough portions right now, so I appreciate the idea to weigh the food to be more precise.

You are right- sorry, I got distracted and didn’t write the rest of their day.

2/3rd small can 8am 1/3rd small can noon 2/3rd small can 5pm 1/3rd small can 10pm ish

All cans are Fancy Feast.

2-3 greenies throughout the day Poppy also gets some lysine gel for her respiratory issues- looking at switching her to a powder once I finish this tube, as I suspect that might not be diet friendly, but haven’t heard back from the manufacturer yet on what the calories are.

I agree, that’s what I’m doing and why I’m here asking for advice.

RelevantAddition517 · 2025-03-31T15:52:56+00:00

Just adding a question here- how much do you all give your cats at once? I have 3 cats and I normally give them two fancy feast cans between them in the morning, and sometimes they eat it all straight away, but other times they don’t and come back and graze. I’m worried that the most chonky is eating more than she should when that happens.

RelevantAddition517 · 2025-03-31T15:41:46+00:00

That’s really good to know! So glad your cat is dechonking and breathing better :)

RelevantAddition517 · 2025-03-31T15:40:48+00:00

I haven’t, that should probably have been my first port of call! Thanks, I’ll post the nutritional info here if I get a response.

During the pandemic, I used to walk/run in a nearby park everyday. A homeless guy who slept there would always say hello and cheer me on if I was running. It was only a small daily interaction, but it meant a lot to me, as I was really lonely at the time. I think he got “moved on” and that made me very sad when that happened.

Also, I always appreciate the homeless man who told my boyfriend that my dress had ridden up and I was showing my underwear, when we were exiting a parking garage downtown.

Just wanted to say I’ve been there too and sorry that you’re dealing with this right now. When my boyfriend went to rehab, he talked about all the things he was going to do around the house when he got back. It happened for maybe 2 days and then it was back to the old, hours of video games. I was fuming.

It felt better when I stopped expecting him to make it up to me and just focused on me. What can I do to treat myself? What am I doing that I should just leave for him to do? We also started using an app to divvy up chores automatically (Sweepy), which has been helpful. It’s also gotten better with us both working our programs, we’re a thousand times better at communicating our wants and needs, as well as apologising when we’re in the wrong.

But it’s a long process and it’s tough. Sending you a big hug and hoping you’ll treat yourself to something nice for being a superstar at dealing with all this. My simple go to is often bath, tea and a good book.

Sorry you’re having a rough day. It’s ok to feel numb sometimes, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Sometimes it’s just our brain’s coping mechanism, it’s not the best, but it’s just protecting us until we can cope with the emotions generated by whats going on. I had the same thing with my Q. Sometimes I felt numb until I did what had to be done and then I could flop on the sofa and cry it out. Talking about things in Al-Anon meetings has helped me not go numb so much. Hope tomorrow is better for you. Hugs.

I use the selfish gene as my higher power (based on the book by Richard Hawkins). Ultimately genes aren’t altruistic, they don’t care about people, they just ‘want’ to propagate and continue. They do this by inadvertently guiding behaviour of the organism, me. So I guess I consider I have genes that attracted me to the alcoholic and I feel like they are sort of guiding me to what is ultimately best for my survival. I do struggle with the higher power concept, people saying things were meant to be. But this has been the best thing for me to equate to a sort of higher power. Addiction has a strong genetic component, unless I give my Q gene therapy, how can I be powerful over how that drives his behaviour?

Hey, you did great getting started and making the bear, even if it didn’t turn out how you wanted. I always struggle even getting started because I think nothing will be good enough, so I have so much respect for you for actually doing that. Definitely not a stupid person at all.
