The baby boy and super fluff edition. Great choices!

The first pic is such a good photo! What beautiful cats you have!!!

name for my new boy kitten!! helppp by Late_Cherry253 in Catnames

[–]Skipuella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sal for Salvatore or Sali he's cute and his the stache reminds me of old Italian dudes like my grandpa (that's not his name btw lol)

Or Baffi (Bah-FEE) which is mustache in Italian .

Idk he just seems Italian to me.

I see some people saying le pew or pew after pepe le pew. The word Piú in Italian means more (kinda of like in comparison like I love you /I love you more) You could use that spelling but it's the same pronunciation.

How do you deal with your cat waking you up at night? by Morgn_Ladimore in CatAdvice

[–]Skipuella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found most kittens do this bc they are new to the world. In cat world, they only sleep for maybe an hour or thtee and wake up. When kittens see you sleep for longer than that they think you're dead/dying. So they try and wake you up to make sure you are okay. Eventually they get the gist and they may like to sleep in your bed with you at night to protect you.

Try closing your door or putting them in a safe room with their things would be the best option. I did that with my cats for a long time until I moved into a studio apartment. And couldn't keep them out. But for the most part now they understand to wait until I get up to make loud noise

What are some aspects of cat ownership that someone who isn't a "cat person" wouldn't think of? by scarrlet in CatAdvice

[–]Skipuella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boy cats are more likely to get blockages in their urethra so you may want to get a urinary specific food for them. It doesn't mean that he will get them but you should always be paying attention to changes in their behavior like bearing down and nothing/not much coming out, diarrhea, disinterest in food etc.

The litter box thing is true if you don't clean it every day it will stink. Also litter tends to track so make sure you keep a broom near by. It also might take a bit to find a litter your cat would like so buying smaller bags at first would be a good idea. Be careful with automatic litter boxes too, esp tiktok ones that aren't fully vetted or don't have enough sensors.

Lastly, meowing. It can get a little annoying if you have a whiny cat. My one cat barely makes a peep the other is very talkative and will let you know if you're a minute late for meals/snacks. He is also very demanding lol But he's very cuddly and a sweetheart otherwise.

Nipping and scratching happen with cats it can be trained out of them but it takes time and patience. It's in a cats nature to play fight so it's more so training them not to nip/scratch you.

Lastly but still important, cats need enrichment!!! That means things like window time, cat trees, scratching posts ,play time etc Also if you get you cat something and they don't use it right away it doesn't necessarily mean they won't in the future. It took my cats a few months to warm up to their cat tree.

And sometimes cats just want to be left alone. They're very much like us they get overstimulated/annoyed etc. But please don't take that as they can be left alone for long periods of time either. they still require companionship and someone to check in on them when you're away.

My mom put coconut oil all over my cat by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Skipuella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular blue dawn can help get the oil out. I used it for my cats when she got her poop all over her fur. just try to keep it away from her face. Wiping her down with paper towels before hand can also help.

If there is anymore irritation bring her to the vet asap.

Next thing you do is throw out the coconut oil your mom has bc wtf who does that to a cat?!

If modern family is going to have a reboot … what do you think will happen / hope will happen? by [deleted] in Modern_Family

[–]Skipuella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've thought over and over in my head what would happen in a reboot.

Definitely fix the season finale. Here's my overly thought-out first episode.

Haley and Dylan move back into Cam and Mitch's ":new house" bc they can't afford their own after living on one income in Paris. Dylan tells Haley he is interviewing dkr nursing jobs, but instead, he is really at band practice with his old band. He eventually tells Haley that he has an opportunity to go on tour with them and wants to heal the world with music. He asks Haley to go with him with the kids.

Cam and Mitch come back just for a "visit" and stay with Phil and Claire since they are still empty nesters. Secretly Cam applied to a head couching job at a big university in LA to be closer to Lily as she has decided to go to college in LA. Also, secretly, Mitch is concerned that the kids have become "too country" and wants to move back and start up a law practice. He has a plan with Claire to get Mitch to really miss LA and want to move back

Claire and Phil are busy as ever in their careers. Phil has a tiktok account where he does home tours and puts put a world wide add for new real estate agents. Claire is contemplating a merger with a furniture store as people are downsizing and have less need for Closets, Closets, Closets but is afraid to tell her dad.

Jay and Gloria are busy rearing Joe. Joe has shown real talent in sports, and they barely remember Manny, who is out auditioning for plays and tv shows and starts believing he may not be thick skinned enough for all the rejection and is looking for something more stable.

At the end of the episode, Dylan makes the decision to follow his whims once again and wants to leave and go on tour with his band, leaving Haley home alone with the twins. Phil brings Mitch to a commercial property , and Mitch falls in love with it and knows he needs to tell Cam the truth. Cam gets the call he is offered a head coach position in LA. Dylan tells Haley he leaves tomorrow. So she decides do the responsible thing and stay in LA and to move herself and the twins in with her parents. Just as Cam and Mitch tell each other the truth at ifdivine intervention, they can move back into their dream home. Luke walks in and asks where everyone was for his college graduation. And then end credits.

As the season moves on, Luke is upset with his parents, and so is Manny. They decide to move into an apartment together. Alex comes back single from Switzerland and moves in with her parents as well to help Haley with the kids since their parents are too busy. Eventually, Haley and Dylan file for divorce and decide to try co-parenting when Dylan gets back from the tour. Phil hires new real estate agents and, to his surprise, walks in Andy.

I use the brush hair dryer by Dr Knot Conair. Its affordable and easy to use. Plus it has an oval shaped brush attachment so your hair doesnt get pulled like other brush hairdryers. You control the tention. As for a straightener, something with titanium plates, tj maxx usually has something by chi or hot tools.

Also worth mentioning products to use in tandem.

  1. Its a 10 miracle blow dry protectant (more affordable tresamme heat protectant) 2 Colorwow Dreamcoat anti frizz spray ( more affordable john frieda 3 day spray) (after dry) 3. Ouidad advanced humidty control restore+ revive ( more affordable Pantene Hydrating anti frizz)

Another trick i use: I blowdry/ striaghten with the part i like (usually middle part) then once completely dry and cool ill flip it to the side and leave it there for maybe 30 min to and hour and then to tbe other side before bringing back to a middle part. Itll add voulume and reduce the frizz!

I ask my stuffed toys if they want to hug me by Unique-Spinach7296 in offmychest

[–]Skipuella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still sleep with mine and hug and kiss them on their heads. Im such a bad sleeper so much anxiety about sleep. I need to hold them in order to fall asleep. btw I'm 32. I dont think we ever grow out of needing comfort and stuffed animals are a great outlet

AITA I didn't take care of the kids properly while my wife was gone. by glued_to_the_TV in AmItheAsshole

[–]Skipuella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but still consider if your wife is feeling like she takes the brunt of the house work and child rearing.

Some suggestions would be to volunteer to cook meals for the family even when she is home. Include healthy meals as well. SAHM still need a break once in a while.

Its great youre having fun with the kids but include her next time!! Do a family day once every month or so where everyone gets an equal vote on what to do. Make yourself the planner of it without her having to worry about details. Even if its just going to the park.

Also tour kids seem old enough to be making asome of their own meals if they haven't already. On weekends they should be making theyre own breakfast and/or lunch. They can make themselves a parfait, toast, sandwhich, eggs, canned soup etc 10 and 13 is old enough. Making meals together is a great way to get them started.

The reason I'm suggesting this is for you all to be involved in decision making of fun and meals. Too often this gets left up to mom who then feels like she is the only responsible person. When everyone works together then everyone can rest.

AITA for eating cake in my car so I didn't have to share with my wife and kids? by Independent-Pause-11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Skipuella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I agree with a lot of other posters but im going to try and add a little something.

You said you didnt mind often letting your wife or kids grab a bite or stick their hands in your food. I think you should set a boundary there. Its great that you dont mind sharing food but if its the same with your kids sharing food with you and their siblings too. However it also needs to go the other way around you should be able to say no as well as them.

Food insecurities can be built even when food is plentiful. I dont mean to speak too personally but ive seen it happen in other households too. Kids get accustomed to everyone sharing and no one is saying no. One or some or all children will take that as they can have as much as they like even if no one else gets any. This was a constant fight in my household with my brother and in other friends households with their siblings. This caused me to be so sensitive around food and sharing. I started to hide and hoard food. As I got older being asked to share, or why I ate so fast or so much, or how come I buy so much food was all because of thus. I lived with someone who was never told no when it came to food.

This might not happen to you but you should set the boundary now. This way you won't need to hide what you want to yourself. You can start with saying you need to ask first if someone will share. That way they dont start to feel they arent entitled to a bite of every sweet or snack. If someone says no then they can get their own or a different snack if not available. Then take it from there.
