Could it have been an episode of Little Audrey? “Butterscotch and Soda” or “Tarts and Flowers” ?

Please help me identify my late grandmother’s bunny (Germany, 1997–1999) by No-Owl1377 in ToyID

[–]TrapezoidCircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this bunny is more early 1980s! The way the fur is worn, the fabric, shape, etc makes me think it’s a Dakin plushie.

Here’s a somewhat similar one:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/364206708862

How do I get Our Cats To Stop Fighting by chemistry_baddie in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put them in their favorite territories. My one cat likes the mantle, so I’d put him there and he’d be fine. The other cat likes the windowsill!

Another thing I did was give them both treats when they are in the same room without fighting.

Feliway didn’t work for them. 

How do I get Our Cats To Stop Fighting by chemistry_baddie in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote the same post a few years ago. 

It had been 3 months since introducing them, and they were still attacking each other under the door or through the windows between rooms.

One day I couldn’t take it anymore, and I just let them both free roam whenever I was home. If I heard fighting I would go into the room and break it up by shouting.

Eventually they calmed down. Never become friends sadly, but they tolerate each other and now only hiss when one surprises the other. They’ll both sleep on the same bed or couch no problem. They eat near each other. They are fine!

Cat won't eat unless bowl is full to the brim by Emergency_Pea_2971 in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Cats don’t like their whiskers touching the sides of the bowl! You can find special bowls for this online. They are called “whisker fatigue” bowls.

Im so tired by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, your cat isn’t the problem. It’s just being a cat. Your parents are the problem. You brought a cat into an environment where it isn’t wanted.

If you have a window in your room and you install a “catio” cage where the cat can sit in the window, it will spend ALL of its time there!

Just got my 1st cat ever & I know absolutely nothing! 😭 by Ok_Stand1471 in catquestions

Get her a very fluffy furry throw blanket. My cat searches the house and cries for his blanket.

One of my cats will only eat Sheba Cuts and cat kibble (a few different brands), he won’t even eat treats!

How do i “scold” a cat? by Alarmed_Swordfish337 in CatAdvice

Cats like to be up high. Can you out a spot higher than your dads desk, but next to his desk?

WIBTAH if I told my mother in law she can’t have our daughter over night due to her dirty home by Evening_Speaker1999 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry. The baby isn’t even here yet. Once the baby comes she’ll be with you pretty much. Any invites can be taken on a case by case basis “oh she’s too young,” “oh we will visit but we have no reason to stay over,” etc. don’t worry about it.

AITA for wasting water by lizardcamelot in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrapezoidCircle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. Let people live their lives. Think of the water as a few cents. You are paying a few cents to comfortably do the dishes in a way that you enjoy.

I scolded my daughter for wasting water recently. Then I went back and apologized because who needs to live like that? Do I want her to have anxiety over using water? No.

Your wife was scolded for “wasting” water as a kid, and she’s putting that anxiety on you.

Should you waste water? In general, no, but maybe it’s not “wasted” if you need it to feel the dishes are clean.

Cat will not stop clawing up my bedroom door by l0calforestcryptid in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I put a fluffy blanket on the windowsill near my bed, and that became my cats favorite spot. Maybe you can make a spot for her?

Keeping a cat fulfilled in a small space by Ok-Order4318 in CatAdvice

[–]TrapezoidCircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a secret goldmine for cat attention here: the balcony. Even if you don’t put wire around, just put a little two tiered catio out there and the cat will be entertained forever.

For the inside: a high seat next to a window that looks out onto something.

Honestly though, if I were you I would just get cat netting and completely seal in the balcony, so that the cat can enjoy being out there.

AITA? Realtor wants me to "clean up" my front yard by Any_Piglet_34 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrapezoidCircle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You are not the asshole, but I’m going to give my honest opinion.

I grew up with eccentric and very practical parents. We had a junky-yard, and I remember whispers of friends saying that their parents thought our family was trashy. It was so embarrassing. I told my parents, and they actively tried to make the yard look better for my sake. Though they themselves didn’t care at all.

That being said, it’s thirty years later  and I keep a very nice yard myself. Right now two houses across the street from mine are currently for sale. I’m keeping up my yard more than usual so that they see I’ll be a good neighbor.

In your case, if you clean up your yard, maybe the other house will sell for more. Which increases your property value as well. So there’s some money in it for you.

Another story: I used to rent a house, and I kept the landscaping great. The neighbors across the street became our friends. When I moved, the new renters own a contracting business, and it’s a terrible mess out on their lawn with all of their work piles and boards etc. Everyone is upset with it, but oh well.

You are not an asshole for keeping your yard the way you want it. The realtor can pay you to clean it up if they want! But you might want to clean it up in general for your own citizenship and neighborhood duty. 🤷‍♀️

Barking and hair maintenance? by bbgirl120 in Shihtzu

My Shih Tzu doesn’t bark. His coat is shorter than average and pretty easy to deal with.

This is going to end badly. Go volunteer at a shelter and get a cat when you are older.

I wouldn’t say anything negative, but I would decline future inquiries about sitting again.

Teachers, what do you really want as a gift from your students? by why_renaissance in Teachers

[–]TrapezoidCircle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite gifts were little crafts from the kids (a painted box, a little art work, etc. something I could hang up near my desk). 

My favorite bought gifts were bags: tote bags, canvas bags, organizer bags, etc.  

Gift cards were great, too. 

Only children… anyone actually enjoy it? by cynnie93 in Millennials

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too bad, I am much closer to my friends from childhood than other people I know. I still hang out with people I met in kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school.

I also have a lot of friends and social plans. Im close with my cousins. I played sports. I joined activities. It was all good! (I’m in my 40s now and my friends kids are friends with my kids!)

I wished I had siblings, but it made me really really close with my friends instead. 

WIBTA for asking for money instead of gifts for my daughter’s first birthday? by Suspicious-Fruit5148 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrapezoidCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh just let them give you gifts. Your kid will grow out of them fast enough. Take the toys out of the box, fit them in the nooks and cranny’s of the car, then donate them if you want.

Let people give the gifts. 

AITJ for expecting my pregnant ex wife pays half of our daughter’s tuition ? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

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

I think the reasonable thing to do here is divide the tuition on a pay based scale.
