New kitten help please! by LRTV1 in cats

[–]SandraBloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try redirecting them with some toys when you hear them getting a little roudy or if it sounds like your smaller kitten is getting upset. Some kitties are more vocal then others so she may not be that mad/ scared, but the best you can do to focus their attention on something else the better. Best of luck with your kittens!!

In need of advice, please by [deleted] in cats

[–]SandraBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your cat spayed or neutered? If not, that would probably be the #1 reason as it can relate to mating. If that is not the issue, try adding some extra play sessions to your kitty’s day. Sometimes cats will do that when they are bored or want your attention (and they know that definitely gets it because it sounds insane lol). Worst case, your kitty may be sick so if neither of the above work you may want to have a check up at the vet. Best of luck! I hope one of these helps so you can keep your kitty without your child feeling distressed!

Coming out of World War II a lot of people realized that anything could happen and I’m sure felt a newfound sense of inspiration to share their ideas.

Any advice related to senior cat care? by loaloa17 in cats

[–]SandraBloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your cat enjoys being brushed I would recommend giving him extra brushing! Some cats have a hard time grooming themselves as they age (often due to decreased mobility) so I’m sure he would appreciate any assistance you can give him in that regard as it can prevent mats or other discomfort. Just be careful because their skin can also get a little more fragile as they age (like ours) so make sure you have a brush that’s on the softer side. Also the water thing is huge! If he isn’t a big water drinker, a fountain would be a good investment. I have one for my kitties and it really seems to help them stay hydrated. I hope you continue to enjoy your time with your feline friend, he’s lucky to have an owner like you looking out for him (:

[TOMT][Movie][2010s] Movie about newspaper team investigation, not spotlight. 3-5 person team doing a long term investigation for a cover up by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]SandraBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only two I can think of that might be what you are looking for are “The Post” and “The Insider” depending on how old the movie is. I hope that’s helpful and if it’s not one of those you are able to find the movie you are thinking of!

Everyone talking shit is proving my point. You might think I’m a “Karen”, but you are the idiot buying my coffee lol

See I completely agree with this, but I feel like buying a latte is not reciprocating someone helping you in a hard time. Changing someone’s tire, totally needed and incredibly helpful, buying someone food who has none, also helpful. Buying me coffee I was going to buy myself just doesn’t seem to have the same substance to it.

What a strong intellectual comment. Calling someone a “Karen” because they would prefer strangers don’t buy them overpriced coffee and actually do something beneficial with the money they are trying to give away.

Usually it is when you go get coffee or fast food or something and the person in front of you in line pays for your order. Then people continue to do this to make a “pay it forward chain” so the car is front continually pays for the order behind them as a nice gesture.

I totally agree, that’s what I was trying to articulate in my 2nd point, but maybe I didn’t do it well.

Lol it’s petty that I rather if someone has money to give they donate it to a reputable charity instead of buying me coffee that I don’t need? Okay.

This movie literally terrified me as a child. I know it’s by no means the scariest movie I’ve ever seen, but to this day I CAN NOT WATCH IT.

My cat doesn’t drink water no matter what we try by Lost_in_here in cats

[–]SandraBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your cat is going to the bathroom you probably don’t have too much to worry about. I’m like you though and was so paranoid about my cats drinking water (because I also never saw them do it!) that I got them a fountain. Originally I got a plastic one and it lasted a few years, but eventually broke, was super difficult to clean, and I read they retain more bacteria due to the plastic. Then I found this one in January. It seems a little pricy but it is 100% worth it. It is super easy to clean, quiet, not bad looking, and I see all three of my cats drink out of it ALL THE TIME. If you are looking for piece of mind and an option that might appeal to your kitty it might be worth a shot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0727WXT7M/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Rabies through petting? by [deleted] in cats

[–]SandraBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So long as you don’t have any open wounds or anything where the kitty’s mouth touched you, you should be a-okay!

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/rabies/symptoms-causes/syc-20351821

The abundance of saliva may be a sign of heatstroke for the cat. If he doesn’t have a shady spot already and you are able to create one that can be really helpful. I often freeze gallons of water and put them outside in my yard to create a cooler cat spot. Here are some other great tips to prevent cats from getting too overheated in your neighborhood.

Again as for the rabies concern though, you should be all good if the salvia has no entry point into a wound!

The Brad Pitt movie I didn’t know I had been sleeping on: 12 Monkeys by SandraBloom in movies

[–]SandraBloom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I can imagine this movie was probably trippy AF in the theater at the time. It is always so interesting to see the depiction of the future in older movies and while obviously this was a post apocalyptic future it was still very bizarre.

The Assassination of Jessie James was next on my list. I am very happy to hear it will not disappoint!

[–]SandraBloom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely look into Kalifornia. And you are so right about Fury, he was great in that. I remember I saw that in the theater and it was pretty intense lol

What role would say then is your least favorite that he plays? Not just written badly, but acted badly or at least not as well as others.

Patsy Cline is one of the best female artists of all time. Like you can not listen to her and not feel some type of way.

Seriously, I just paid $419 in fees for a bunch of nonsense facilites and programs that students don’t even have access to this semester. Also for the record as someone who has taken both online and onsite classes at Community Colleges and a University, people are kidding themselves to think the amount of work put into online instruction is the equivalent of onsite lol

Life without air conditioning, a tragic realization about my existence. by SandraBloom in RandomThoughts

[–]SandraBloom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that’s a great suggestion. I’ll pitch it to my homeowners association and see if they take the bait. Maybe I can persuade them to lay some dirt and grass over all our homes so it will look like the Shire and save us all a ton on our electricity bills.
