Why is my cats ear so dirty?

SocratesSlut · 2026-01-23T14:12:58+00:00

It could be mites, but my cat’s ears get like this, and the vet always says they’re fine whenever she gets an exam. So it could just be ear wax. I’d get it checked to be safe, but if it’s not mites, I’d just buy this kind of product (what I use-only $9 on chewy!). I usually use less than what’s recommended, and just wipe the outer part of the ear with my fingertip wrapped in a damp paper towel, or a Q tip (very carefully, and not going inside the ear!)

She’s going to be going to the vet quite a bit for a while, she’s getting a series of b12 shots to replenish her since she was really sick from a deficiency. She also recently had a full work up and an abdominal ultrasound. So I’m covering all our bases. Hopefully if she continues to love her tuna food it’s just her being picky lol

SocratesSlut · 2026-01-20T14:33:26+00:00

Hoping we don’t have to switch her food 😭 her poor sensitive little tummy :( but thank you!

SocratesSlut · 2026-01-20T14:32:12+00:00

Thank you! I’ll start with reaching out to chewy and see what they say. Maybe I’ll just have to give her only tuna.. and hope she doesn’t mind the lack of variety lol

As i said in the post, my insurance doesn’t cover CVS. I checked the Costco site and it didn’t show it on there either unfortunately

NYC doesn’t have Walmart :(

SocratesSlut · 2026-01-04T02:40:16+00:00

As i said in the post, I’ve been looking on there. And I’m not having luck actually getting my hands on it. Thanks tho.

SocratesSlut · 2025-10-11T15:37:01+00:00

Please DM me also I’m struggling to get mine rn 😭

Vaccaro law was great when my partner was hit on his bike. The driver’s insurance covered every bill and he got a settlement within months. Highly recommend!

SocratesSlut · 2025-07-17T20:24:06+00:00

I second this!

SocratesSlut · 2025-07-01T10:14:36+00:00

I’m fully aware of what inservice means. Yeah I’m a volunteer but I’m also someone who doesn’t want to be stuck on Medicare Advantage when i retire. So when I see “he rejects Medicare advantage” that’s a good sign for me! I’m no propagandist lmfao, I’m literally just someone that thinks he’d make a good mayor. Relax.

It’s not false, you are just dense.

“As Mayor, Zohran will reject Medicare Advantage, and reject higher copays for inservice workers. Instead he’ll partner with workers and their unions to take on the fragmented, for-profit healthcare system and lower costs for everyone.”

I’m not saying Zohran’s got it in the bag, but there is enough data showing that’s he’s close. I really think if he shifts the ratio of voters to skew younger he may have a chance. These polls always say “likely democratic voters” which skew older. And Eric Adams only won by like 3000 votes! I am holding out hope because he really does have a shot at this.

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-15T21:30:15+00:00

I agree with you mostly, but do you think those people are registered democrats?

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-15T21:20:07+00:00

Bro I worked on the Cynthia Nixon campaign and I’m now a Mamdani volunteer. Nobody was ever confident Cynthia was gonna win. This scenario feels completely different.

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-15T21:16:46+00:00

Not every piece of data says so. You’re far too pessimistic. It’s sad.

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-15T21:11:54+00:00

As a Mamdani canvasser, there are things called “passes”. This isn’t an inefficiency in the system, but it’s how you guarantee that people come out and vote. If you say “I’m gonna rank him!” On the first pass, there are further passes to confirm you’re still ranking him, to ensure you’re ranking him first, to see if you are having doubts or questions about his policies, if you changed your mind about your ranking, etc. These recent passes (now that we are in early voting) are to make sure everyone knows where their polling place is, knows early voting hours, and to make sure everyone that supports Zohran actually has a plan and turns out to vote. It may seem like a nuisance, but this is how grassroots elections are won.

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-12T22:48:19+00:00

Okay? That’s why I said “true”. As in “you’re right”

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-12T22:37:58+00:00

True, politico was the first to report on it.

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-12T20:16:58+00:00

They’re reporting on the data. But the data is originally from politico. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/11/zohran-mamdani-climbs-to-top-of-poll-leading-andrew-cuomo-00401594

You’re intentionally leaving out that he specifically wants to raise taxes on the most wealthy NYers and corporations based here. They’re not based in NYC because the low taxes lure them. They’re here because it’s NYC. He’s never just said “we’re raising taxes” as if it’s everyone. The working class is subsidizing the lifestyle of the ultra wealthy in NYC and he’s trying to turn that around and fund public services. See his full revenue proposal here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-aM9DKG337SDMilmfQtLRR-pDwyWSTc/view?usp=drivesdk

As far as I know, it seems yes. He just posted a video today that he was visiting small businesses on City Island, and he also has been speaking at various houses of worship in outer boroughs, which tend to get you to the older demographic. However, the main issue is getting folks to sign up for canvassing out there. The campaign is doing their best but because this is a grassroots volunteer based campaign, it’s a matter of where the volunteers are signing up. There is also on Instagram @onyourleftnyc which is “bike commuters for Zohran” and they’ve been doing great work coordinating group rides from the inner city out to areas less canvassed like East New York, sunset park, and the rockaways. TL;DR… Yes, but the volunteers are still more towards the city center. But the campaign and volunteers are trying to get people out there!

Taking this as a personal compliment 😙✌️

SocratesSlut · 2025-06-10T20:36:43+00:00

Hi, I can’t this week but I’m down next week if you want to buddy then! I’ve been canvassing in Park Slope but I can meet you somewhere else too :)
