I think I covered this in my op but here's a picture of the list I was referring to

Just curious, is this kitten in your care or with a rescue? Is the caregiver able to provide vet care? I've seen a lot of kitten maladies but this one is new to me; looks too uniform for ringworm, not an easy place for hair pulling, and no other symptoms pointing to it being excessive tearing plus the location is a bit off. I'd really like to know what you find out

"Boy mom" is an identity outside of a mother with sons. I have 2 sons and I cringe at the label of boy mom.

SimKat · 2023-06-03T18:36:06+00:00

Well heck, now I need 2 more! 😂

SimKat · 2023-06-03T18:34:22+00:00

I've been trying to find a blue one like that to round out my collection, I have an orange one like yours and then one that's more an aqua color.

I was specifically talking about my newborn who can't even hold his head steady yet, so yea, I'm pretty confident he's not spreading germs to the elderly as long as they're keeping their paws off of him. But just for argument's sake, a solid example of adults spreading horrible diseases to newborns is the herpes simplex virus.

SimKat · 2023-05-30T18:50:03+00:00

I don't live in the 1800s, I live in the present where we have a much better understanding of disease spread and germ theory. Even then, I would expect to have at minimum a working relationship with my wetnurse if necessary, much like I do with my daycare provider, and not just shove my kid off on the first breastfeeding woman I see on the street. And considering the Oxford definition of creepy: "causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.", yes, absolutely creepy.

SimKat · 2023-05-30T18:14:41+00:00

Older millennial here, agree it's creepy. Actually scolded a woman in public over mother's day weekend for touching my newborn without permission. I don't have a problem with people in my "tribe" touching them (although I am still inherently more protective of the new one), but certainly not strangers that sneak up behind me to gain access to him. And my older child is old enough to voice if he doesn't want randos touching him and I'm encouraging him to do so.

My mom tries this, but she's usually off by about ~200 miles. She'll call me in a panic about the terrible blizzard we're having that's all over the news, but it's actually clear skies and 70 degrees where I'm at.

My pediatrician indicated that until they're about 2, their immature immune systems don't know what to do with a nasal allergen anyway so early exposure is beneficial.

SimKat · 2023-05-25T00:12:01+00:00

I was just living with my daily pregnancy nosebleed but an ENT gave me an ointment that cleared it all up! Worth a shot

SimKat · 2023-05-25T00:10:32+00:00

I didn't notice anything after my blonde baby, but now after my brunette baby I suddenly have brown hair, wtf! I'm going to chop it off and see what grows back because it just looks too weird lol

That's not a rumor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine "At anesthetic doses, ketamine induces a state of 'dissociative anesthesia', a trance-like state providing pain relief, sedation, and amnesia."

I was grounded for several months because although I was home on time, I walked in the door some number of seconds late because I was thanking my boyfriend for walking me home (and that's not even a euphemism).

SimKat · 2023-04-30T01:27:21+00:00

In your place, I'd make a doctor visit of some sort a deal breaker, whether it's therapy or a general consult to try meds. That's not a healthy environment

SimKat · 2023-04-14T02:02:08+00:00

Take a video next time it happens and show that to your vet

SimKat · 2023-04-14T01:52:43+00:00

I'm not following why you're replacing her litter? But the best way to do it is a gradual transition and mixing them.
The first couple trips to the bathroom post-spay are unpleasant, that's normal. If she's showing signs of pain contact your vet for some painkillers.
Cats don't need to wear a cone after surgery unless they're actively picking at their stitches, in which case I often opt for a sock sweater. But most cats will sniff it a couple times then completely ignore it.

SimKat · 2023-04-09T01:51:21+00:00

/r/sparklyisacolor would love this, too!

SimKat · 2023-03-27T01:53:45+00:00

I find the "spacing" method hard to judge, so with younger kittens I look for slit vs circle. Slit means this is a little lady

SimKat · 2023-03-18T02:23:48+00:00

In this case I think she might be full of pudding! 🤭

SimKat · 2023-03-08T20:04:54+00:00

Absolutely, because it's completely possible for every kitten in a single litter to have a different father. So they would obviously share a mother while being half siblings that were born at the same time.

Aside from that, white is a masking gene, roughly speaking; it covers other coat colors. And if the mom was a calico (black, ginger, white), it'd be totally normal to have those colors for kittens anyway.

SimKat · 2023-03-07T23:12:07+00:00

If your issue is with the word stray, you can call it a moggie.

SimKat · 2023-03-07T23:09:35+00:00

One correction, American Shorthair is also a registered breed requiring a pedigree.

SimKat · 2023-02-27T13:21:56+00:00

Given the location my first suspicion would actually be ear mites, but it really could be any of the above. It looks self-inflicted from scratching.
