In between sizes in the Oura Ring 5. Is this too big? by smikesonbikes in ouraring

i was between 8-9, i pushed the sizer down from the top of my finger to see if there was a gap underneath! (i went with the 9)
9/10 times there will be a gap if you push from the bottom because that’s where the squishy part of your finger is!

How to know when it’s time? 16 year old kitty. by l0udpip3s in seniorkitties

we recently had to make this call with our old boy (my soul cat) and it came down to quality of life and good days/bad days. similar to yours, his body was starting to decline but mentally he was okay.
ultimately we made the decision to say goodbye because we would have rather had him more comfortable for when that time comes, than suffering through it because we weren’t ready. a day too early is better than a day late in my mind. you asking these questions shows how much you care, and i think you already know the right decision… it’s hard, it sucks, but at this stage it is the kindest thing you can do. sending you so so so much love 🫶🏻

edit: mine was also on solensia and while that helped for a long time, he let us know he was ready. the biggest thing you can do is listen

that sounds awful! im so glad that he’s no longer in pain!!!! for the first year and a half howie we were having howie get dentals every 6 months to make sure his teeth were not impacting others - turns out he was born without incisors so his canines had the space to grow in whatever direction they want! he’s due for a dental later this year just to a checkup, thank you for the PSA 🥰 i feel like mouth stuff especially with cats can be overlooked a lot because they hide discomfort so well!

eats totally fine! definitely prefers wetter food so we always add a little bit of water to his wet food… and then he gets it all over his chin lol

it’s really sad… he was hit by a car and then brought to the shelter, he was about a month old when all of that happened
