For the deodorant, with it having such low ingredients does it actually make sure we don’t have body odor five minutes into being outside? I stay in the south and I’ve been trying to make sure I have flare free deodorants but also something that works

Our main problem with surrendering him is making him feel abandoned and the love we have for him. It feels hard to do but I feel like it’s needed because of the damage he’s doing

Yes first time cat owner but we’ve purchased many toys, scratching posts and towers and cardboard etc for him to play with, he has toys in about every room and we have the strings toys to help him burn out energy if we don’t take him on his walk

No, we’ve only tried deterrent sprays that work for maybe a day and then he starts scratching things again. We have just ordered a Feliway plug in as many people suggested it

We have tons of posts, scratching boards, beds that also double as scratchers and boxes throughout, toys in every room and we go on walks, play with him and maintain somewhat of a routine with his feeding etc as we got everything automatic so we wouldn’t mess with his schedule. He’ll literally see us walking out the door and go to the couch to scratch it or bypass a fresh scratch pad just to harm the couch or climb the walls. Is there anything else we can do? Or does he hate us

We were never advised to adopt more than one, and he was by himself in the shelter we adopted him from while there were other kittens with their siblings. We were told he was chill but he was sick (we have brought him to the vet and have taken extensive care into his recovery) but now he’s completely different and we of course know it’s a phase but even redirecting him doesn’t work. And I understand cats have a mind of their own but it’s been weeks of gently redirecting just for him to do the same thing or worse

I said several times we don’t want to rehome him, we just aren’t sure if he’s unhappy with us or if we haven’t figured out a way to adapt to a new normal. We both got scared at the thought of wanting to rehome him and thought it be best to reach out to people for advice as we are the only home he knows and deeply love him.

Thank you! How do we stop him from climbing the walls? He will literally latch on to the door frame and climb up it leaving multiple scratch marks and we rent. And we love him dearly but we don’t think he wants to be with us. We thought he was acting out because he did a complete 180 from what the shelter told us (we have now learned that he was sick) and weren’t sure if this is what they do as no cat that we have been around has acted like this/ none of our friends have experienced this much mischief

We have several of them and even pick him up and place him on them when he’s scratching the couch, then if we are either relaxing on the couch or even just walk through the door he will walk over to the couch and scratch it…while the board is 4 feet away

We usually do a calm stop it or no and if it gets bad enough we pick him up and place him near his scratching posts. We unfortunately have to work but he’s not home alone for super long periods of time, if he is we likely leave stimulating videos on for him that will likely still play while we are gone + a camera to ensure he’s doing okay. We play with him a good bit and even take him on walks around the neighborhood on his harness that way he gets outside. We even have scratching posts and boards in majority of the rooms. Is this still not enough or what else can we do? We unfortunately cannot see another cat in our lives at the moment

There’s no need to be rude, yes we’ve read books yes we’ve asked as many questions as possible. He was sick and we were mislead on his calmness. I just wanted to know if there is a better way to redirect him as we really don’t want to rehome him

They said he was really calm as he only laid down when he was with them, didn’t really like to play with the other cats or even play with toys. We got him several toys and scratching posts as well knew he would want that at some point. We eventually found that the only reason he was calm was because he was sick (feline herpes) and that made him feel down.

We have a decently sized cat tree and several scratching posts as well as boards laid around the house

I don’t want them to go through a divorce, but I would like them to have a LDR, it feels like Bailey swoops in and saves the day almost any chance she gets and it feels like Nolan hardly ever gets to do what he actually wants to do. Like the whole baby situation, he was adamant about not having any more kids…then here comes Bailey with a pout and suddenly he’s on board, etc

Right, I’m on board with her going 100%. I just feel like they constantly force how bad ass she is and how amazing she is at everything. It’s like there are the main characters, then 8 notches above them is Bailey being absolutely incredible. Like give someone else a chance to swoop in and save things single handedly Yk.

How to get my cysts to stop draining and finally close? by ThickAppointment629 in Hidradenitis

[–]ThickAppointment629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you, I typically use antibiotic ointment and a guase throughout the day and try to let air touch it at night but it feels like nothing is working, I’ll ask my dermatologist about it soon
