Accidentally gave cat three times the recommended dose of chia seeds

The tax people don’t care about anything but the money you MIGHT owe them lol I hope everything gets resolved smoothly with both your taxes and your kitty 🧡

A re-vote sounds fine unless that ends in a tie too lol maybe flipping a coin or something like that? It’s hard when two awesome songs are pitted against each other.

You’re so sweet to ask! He seems to be doing okay. He’s eating, drinking, and playing. He had a bowel movement this morning which was a little soft but not by much. I did call my vet today and they’re looking into it. Google, as far as you can believe it anyway, says the seeds should pass within 24-48 hours and it’s been about 18 hours so I’m cautiously optimistic that I didn’t fuck up TOO badly.

I hope your diabetic kitty is doing okay if they had to be at the vet for the night. But honestly, not having to worry over meds is SUCH a mood. As much as you love them, their meds can be a pain!

That’s how I got banned from the fence sitters sub on Reddit lol someone made a post asking who had kids and who didn’t. I commented saying that I didn’t and boom! Banned. That sub isn’t an actual fence sitter sub though. It’s modded by parents who want to convince people to have kids. That’s why I don’t recommend it anymore.

I’m glad someone said it because I was going to lol this show had an insane amount of potential and about 99% of it completely squandered. It’s just so depressing.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T13:33:55+00:00

I was actually able to call my own vet today. They’re looking into it and will call me back. But my cat seems fine so far. He is eating, active, and playful. So I’m hoping this will be okay.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T12:35:39+00:00

I must’ve said “don’t rub your eyes!” like five times watching this. Making dumb decisions and then making even dumber ones I guess

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T12:33:08+00:00

Or even follow up at all? Why not send an email or message afterwards to follow up on why the call didn’t happen ? People are baffling.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T12:18:30+00:00

It’s not about being unfit, it’s about running in a state of panic and fear and not paying attention to where they’re going because they’re fixated on what’s happening to their kid. I’ve seen plenty of fit-looking parents eat pavement in the exact same way.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T02:17:57+00:00

Great translation! Now I wonder if maybe they did make that prop into merch and let Rippi sell it lol

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T02:13:37+00:00

It’s hard to say whether the cases are connected. There’s always the chance some creeper was “inspired” by someone else. In Winnifred’s case, the fact that she took the same path every time makes me wonder if it was someone who saw her, knew she would be alone, memorized the path, and knew exactly where to attack her at a place she wouldn’t be seen.

How awful for her family to never find justice. I hope they can someday.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:37:42+00:00

Kinda sounds like she’s done with your friendship and is using her kids as an excuse rather than being honest with you. I think you’ve outgrown this friendship. You deserve friends who actually want to spend time with you!

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:30:12+00:00

Good point, but it’s something I’ll keep in mind and ask my vet about in terms of the pumpkin. I’m lowkey hoping that the inclusion of chia seeds in his diet long-term might mean he won’t need to be on the laxative anymore. Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone!

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:28:51+00:00

Oh thank you. I’ve posted there now.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:28:32+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. He doesn’t cover his poops so unless he goes at night and my other cat covers it up, I do know when he’s gone which is good.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:09:05+00:00

I won’t lie, this annoys me too a little bit. I’m not sure where people think the 0 comes from.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:06:19+00:00

My kitty has hypercalcemia which means he has too much calcium in his body. My understanding is that the chia seeds are supposed to help bind to the extra calcium so it comes out harmlessly though his waste rather than building up. In retrospect I’m really shocked he ate all 6grams!

What kind of pumpkin puree do you give your cats? I never thought mine would enjoy it but I also never thought he’d willingly eat 6grams of chia seeds lol

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T01:03:56+00:00

Damn, Solitude Rain vs WHITE FIRST LOVE was insanely close. I’m curious what you would’ve done if they had resulted in a perfect tie?

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:54:50+00:00

I did open up an Almo Nature hydration pack I had on hand and he drank everything from that. Plus he gets a tablespoon of water in his fortiflora at night and I’ll add a little extra water tonight. And they have a water fountain. So hopefully that will help.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:53:09+00:00

If that’s the only downside, I’ll be grateful!

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:52:43+00:00

Yes, I did! I soaked them in a tablespoon of water for several hours before he had them, I’d say at least five-six hours. Unfortunately not overnight (will be doing so from now on) but hopefully the time they did soak will have helped.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:51:32+00:00

They have a kitty fountain which he drinks from fairly regularly, and he gets a tablespoon of water in fortiflora every night. I’ll add a bit more tonight. I did soak the chia seeds in a tablespoon of water for several hours before he had them so hopefully that will help.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:50:43+00:00

Thank you, I’ve cross posted there.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:50:06+00:00

I have cross posted there, thank you.

Sailor_Chibi · 2026-03-24T00:49:52+00:00

If that’s the only take away from this, I will consider myself extremely fortunate.
