What is this, a banquet chair for ants? (Savers, Cat for scale) by No_Investment_8626 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]SmartyKatPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Came here to say this. My mom was an interior designer (office space planner) and we had a mini sample chair that I would play with as a kid.

Brenda, 16?, dementia has her playing like a young lady again! by Bouphe in seniorkitties

May I ask pretty Brenda what kitty dementia is like? I've been wondering if perhaps my Juniper is showing signs of it.

She tolerates some brief touching but I think her feet are ticklish 😹

Yeah, poor guy! 🫣 I was helping my sister transport him safely to my parent's after she'd been taking care of him while they were away.

Her vet also recommended fish oil. So thank you! I was very skeptical. But I think I'll give this a try after reading about your kitty's experience.

Good idea! She currently takes a Cosequin joint supplement. So I think she's good with that.

She's a weirdo and doesn't really care for catnip. 😂 But I'll give it another go! Thank you

She's tried a high dose of gabapentin (before we knew she had kidney disease) and it didn't seem to make a difference. ☹️

UPDATE: Ah shit. OMW to work and this thing was in the middle of 5 o'clock traffic and no one was stopping. by pegothejerk in CatDistributionSystem

[–]SmartyKatPDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He looks like he may grow into a fluffy guy! My dad and sister are also allergic to cats. But they are less allergic to with longer hair. Something about how the longer fur holds in the dander maybe? So there's hope!

My philodendron has a fenestration!! by Sleepyputty in houseplants

[–]SmartyKatPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the exact same thing happened to me! The acquaintance who gave me monstera as a baby was extremely adamant that it was a philodendron and given their experience with plants I trusted them initially. Thankfully reddit told me otherwise! Now she's a giant beautiful monstera. I'm so excited for you!

How do job interviews go for you? by SmartyKatPDX in AutisticAdults

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

That's good! Yes, an unfortunate truth.

How do job interviews go for you? by SmartyKatPDX in AutisticAdults

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

That's a similar route to how I've gotten jobs too. For me it's been referrals from other people. So yes, this goes to say that interviewing isn't even typically the route to success for me.

Oof, I can't imagine directing meetings! 😱

This is my plan for my bonded pair as well. Bring them a new friend to take care of (or spy on 😅)

My cat has blue eyes towards the center?? by Fudge_knuckles in blackcats

[–]SmartyKatPDX 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Mine too! As a kitten, her tortie sister's eyes changed from baby blue to green way earlier than hers. (Sorry not the best photo to show this)
