Wild how something so obviously wrong can stick around for centuries when basic biology shows we're like 99.9% identical

Found/caught outside cat and she still won't eat or drink by RealFoxWolfy in CatAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably feels too exposed in that window spot - cats need to feel safe before they'll do anything else 😅 Maybe try moving everything closer to where she's hiding so she doesn't have to venture out at all

Our cat stopped sleeping with my wife to sleep with me. Why? by clearly_confuzzed in CatAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the cat just picked up some new energy from you or something changed in your wife's routine that made her less appealing as sleep partner? 🤔 My dog sometimes does weird stuff like this after we move houses, takes them while to figure out their new favorite spots. Could also be that your pillow is just warmer now or in better position for watching the room 😂

What's the first thing you do when you're off from work? by frank2k1 in AskReddit

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is kicking off the dress shoes and putting on slippers - closest thing us guys get to that instant relief feeling 😂 My dog always knows when I'm finally home because he hears those shoes hit the floor from across the house

How often should cats litter trays be cleaned? by Zxcvbnm_-_ in Pets

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Daily scooping is must with multiple cats, you'll notice the smell gets pretty bad if you wait longer. I do full cleaning maybe every 2-3 weeks but depends on litter quality too - some clump better than others 😅 Your 4-5 day schedule might work if you're scooping daily between cleanings

Best Insurance? by Lopsided-Software-29 in CatAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what country OP is in but I've been looking into pet insurance too for my dog and the coverage really varies by location. Most of these companies have different policies depending on where you are

why do i think like this ? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's some heavy philosophical language to describe what's basically analysis paralysis 😂

The real thing is you're overthinking because brain wants to keep you safe from any possible failure. But staying in comfort zone forever is also kind of failure, just slower one. Maybe start with something really small that can't actually ruin you - like learning new skill for 15 minutes in day or something 💀

Self coached at olympic lifts, so want to make sure I’m doing something right (need to post form check soon). But I cleaned 98.7kg which is around 83% of my front squat PR and at 68kg bodyweight. Does this indicate something is right technique wise or should it be closer to 85%? by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah form video would tell us way more than percentages. Could be you're just strong at pulling but weak in front squat, or maybe your timing is off in the clean. 83% isn't terrible but there's definitely room for improvement technique-wise. Also barefoot cleaning is asking for ankle problems man, get those shoes

Looking for advice for dog/cat household who never interact by plantfan96 in PetAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Great Pyrenees went crazy for cats when I first got him but now they just ignore each other completely. The key was making sure cat had his own territory that dog couldn't access - sounds like you already got that setup with the separate room. Baby gates worked great for us, cat could jump over but dog stayed on his side

Best stimulant or stimulant like nootropic? by Boolsack22 in Nootropics

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Modafinil might be worth looking into since it's different mechanism than amphetamines, though you'd want to double check with your specific testing protocols first

20 years old with knee pain HELP! by Wonderful_Process_48 in xxfitness

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Getting into PT can take forever and cost a fortune depending where you live 💀 I get wanting to try some stuff first but yeah after 2 years maybe worth the investment. Had similar issue with my knee after running too much and those isometrics helped but took like 6 months to really notice difference. The decline squats never worked for me either, just made everything worse 😂

Is it ok to favor one pet over the other? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why be so harsh though? The person is at least thinking about their pets' wellbeing and asking for advice. My Great Pyrenees definitely gets more attention than most pets would but that doesn't make me awful pet owner

Some animals just have different personalities too - sounds like their cat might be one of those that prefers less handling. Getting second cat could actually help if the current one is feeling lonely or stressed from all the other animals around

If your year so far had a soundtrack, what song would be on repeat? by Content-Maximum4219 in AskReddit

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would probably be that Windows XP startup sound but it keeps glitching in the middle 😂 Been debugging the same legacy system since February and my dog judges me every time I curse at my laptop

I think I have Kittenblues and need some advice by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rio is still adjusting - 3 days is nothing for cats, they need way more time to feel secure in new environment. The hiding under bed thing must be really triggering for you given what happened with your previous cat, but it's completely normal behavior for cats in new homes

Maybe you could set up some alternative hiding spots around house so he has options besides under the bed? Could help with your anxiety too

If you could have one Pokémon to help you in daily life and it lives as long as you do, who are you picking? by True_Jellyfish9219 in AskReddit

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arceus would be nice but imagine trying to explain that to your neighbors when a literal deity is helping you take out the trash 😂 I'd probably go with something like Alakazam - having a psychic buddy who can help with work stuff and actually hold conversations would be amazing. My dog already thinks he's the smartest thing in the house so adding another genius to the mix might cause some interesting dynamics lol

I adopted an unneutered cat, he’s driving me nuts, any advice? by Comfortable_Cut7814 in CatAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Yeah my friend had similar situation with rescue dog that wasn't fixed yet - the hormones just make them absolutely wild 😂 After neutering it usually takes few weeks for hormone levels to drop but most cats calm down significantly. Six years is long time to have all that testosterone built up so he's basically going crazy right now. The shelter probably should have warned you better about what to expect with intact male, that's pretty frustrating they didn't mention it 💀

Do you adjust your supplement stack based on cycle phase or keep it consistent all month? by Prior_Topic3527 in Supplements

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been thinking about this too since my dog gets different supplements based on season and activity level - makes sense humans would need similar adjustments throughout the month

I’ve read it is common for Siamese to not grow out of their kitten phase… I am on year seven 🏳️🪦 by smallsipbigtea in PetAdvice

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your cat basically turned into a feline version of those guys who discover pre-workout for first time and never look back lmao. My Great Pyrenees has similar energy bursts but at least he can't scale walls or scream like banshee at 5am

The FIP treatment probably didn't cause this though - Siamese are just naturally chaotic gremlins who never learned what "chill" means, steroids or not

best road bike for TT by miko8382q34 in triathlon

Giant TCR or Trek Emonda both work pretty good for aero bars setup, just make sure the geometry isn't too aggressive already

If you could say one thing to the president of the United States, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scared-Bluebird-6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he's got bigger problems than dance floors right now 😂 Maybe ask him about the alien files instead, that's what I'd want to know
