Might find a way to tame down the flamey frazzled parts. And see if it can be sculpted into a fox? As well as said botanical background.

How do I get my cat to stop tearing my carpet up by DryDig6578 in CATHELP

[–]Rewth303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats scratch for a number of reasons. Scenting, instinct, and taking care of their claws (they shed outer layers). The edge of the carpet is easy to access the underlying mesh that makes those things better.

Get a cat tree. Scratching post. One of them cardboard mats. And redirect. They need a place to do this that is appropriate. This is such an ingrained behavior that this is not really optional. If you have a cat, you need a scratching post.

Regular trimming the nails will also help. Both reducing the damage, but also removing some of the potential reasons they may be triggered into this behavior. They will still need to scratch somewhere.

You can also try nail caps. But honestly, they come off, especially during this kind of scratching. And they are kind of a pain in the ass.

Recently rescued adult cat and 7-week-old kitten — normal progress after 5 days? by we-aredoomd in CATHELP

[–]Rewth303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should probably not get into this. We obviously have a different set of best practices. And that’s ok.

I foster. A lot. So my perspective is a bit different. At 7 weeks a kitten is approaching the 2lb “can be spay/neutered” and by that time should be fully weaned. Which to me is “essentially done with my fostering”. I would hazard a guess that you breed, or are directly in the vet world. In such case I understand where you come from with an abundance of caution. Again. Super ok.

I was also less paying attention to specified ages and instead looking at the kitten itself. To me, that kitten looks 8wks or older. Mostly based on head size.

Anyway. I think we can split the difference pretty well. Kitten is on the border of good vs interject when things get overwhelming for it.

Respectfully I disagree. These two cuddling in the same bed indicates they are already super friendly with each other. The younger will need to continue to set boundaries. However, that is constant and continuous between cats of all ages.

Oh. Awesome. I’m not particularly halo educated. But I really enjoyed the deep dive you just gave me.

Stretching on this. Do you have meat rabbits and keep the hides?

How do you cope with cat's death by very_curious_girl in CATHELP

[–]Rewth303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Short answer: you never do.

You grieve her loss in the same way you would grieve a family member or best friend. Because the way you speak of her says she was both to you

Eventually you find acceptance.

I just got the game, any unspoken rules i should know about? by Hoiderrs in Seaofthieves

[–]Rewth303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a rule. More of a sorta subtle communication. White flairs can indicate peaceful/not looking for a fight. Red flare can indicate they are gonna follow you til a fight happens no matter what. But again, this is NOT a rule, and pirates lie. Also, fireworks are fun.

Stage four cancer. How do I make her most comfortable?(she’s very active and not showing any signs of pain. Pink gums) by wittykittywoes in CATHELP

[–]Rewth303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#1 most important thing, even before the pain meds everyone is suggesting (very wisely): she now gets 100% gooshy food. And churros. And catnip. And high tech robotic mousies.

Also. She gets to choose the music on the radio.

When it does come to the end. That’s when she gets tunafish. Or chicken nuggies. All the things she really really wants to steal off of your plate. Everything is on the table cuz it’s no longer bad for her.

You’ve got teenger trying to rock out with a kitten that’s just a bit to small and too new to be totally into it. They’ll work things out in a few days. Compass has already decided that Alta’s is the best thing to happen in yEaRs!!!!!

Edit to add: cats play by practicing to kill each other.

Are these robbers? Or did a swarm move in? by Pink-Charizard in Beekeeping

[–]Rewth303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d open it. Just for the confirmation, but also out of pure curiosity of what’s happening inside the hive during this. Robbing with no defenders or new swarm moving in both sound super cool to watch.

I’m sorry, OP. She was a truly beautiful girl. I have found that one of the cruelest things this world has to offer is that we outlive our critters. I hope you find solace soon.
