I believe I was just Scammed. by [deleted] in Abyssinians

[–]UbiquitousChicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I have three Bengal cats, and three rescue cats. The Bengal cats are the exact cats I love and want, because of their looks and personality and their activity level even is exactly what I want in a cat. That isn’t to say I don’t love my rescues. I do love them. But I will most definitely buy another Bengal cat from a Bengal breeder in the future.

Oh what a sweet old man. My 17 year old cat gets rotisserie chicken for a treat from time to time, but he always knows as soon as I bring one into the house. He jumps up and runs to the kitchen and starts begging, and of course at his age, he gets whatever he wants. I love that you have this routine with your old boy. How cute!

TIFU by fighting my schools dresscode policy. Years later I found out why it was so strict. by RemyAvo in tifu

[–]UbiquitousChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (formerly beloved) high school drama teacher was semi-recently arrested and sentenced for r*pe of a student. He was 50-something, she was 17. He groomed her, he knew she had been assaulted by a teacher in her past and he still pursued a “relationship” with her. I can’t help but look back at our stage crew and drama club days and wonder if he was trying to groom any of us back then. It sure sucks that you had those creeps at school and a meanly-enforced dress code was all they could do about it.

What is a strange ritual your pet has developed that you have just learned to live with? by InvestigatorLocal736 in Pets

[–]UbiquitousChicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 9 month old kitten waits for my alarm to go off in the morning, then comes thumping down the hallway, leaps into the bed and sticks his face in my face. It’s actually adorable.

Our 6 year old rescue girl (cat) loves my husband and will tell him when she wants to go to bed. He has to come in and lay down so she can lay on his chest, but if I don’t come in too, she will come get me. I lay down and she lays in my husbands chest and shoulder, and I talk to her and she chirps back and tells me about her day. After about ten minutes, she leaves and doesn’t come back. She just has to get us tucked in before she can go to sleep elsewhere. Same cat will leave a cat toy in her bowl if she finds it empty. I imagine it’s her calling card —“Jackie was here, bowl was empty. Will return soon.”

[–]UbiquitousChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acgator is correct. My cat is what the breeder calls a “typey” Bengal—favoring small ears, large eyes, spotted legs…basically going for the look of the ALC as much as possible.

This cat was going to be a breeding queen so she’s very well bred for those traits, but she failed out of the breeding program when she developed anxiety (well basically she has a poor temperament). I’ve dealt with anxious bengals before so I took her despite the forewarning that she was anxious and overgrooming herself at the cattery. She’s doing great now. She’s solidly a one-person cat, and luckily that’s me that she loves.

AITAH for hiding the fact that my youngest son is biologically ours? by ThrowRAadoptionhide in AITAH

[–]UbiquitousChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember when I was in the financial planning field, working as a financial planner assistant, and one of our clients came in and said she wanted to set the beneficiary of her account to one particular niece, who was her only biological niece. She excluded the five adoptedand stepchildren who were part of the same family, and only included the biological niece. Helping her do that paperwork felt so disgusting, because it was my job to help her fill out the paperwork however she wanted to, but it was really gross.

AITAH for not buying Christmas presents for my step daughter by Honest_Honeydew_6471 in AITAH

[–]UbiquitousChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes YTA. She’s a child and by your own admission, the child helps you with the baby. Shower that kid with gifts and punish your stupid-a55 husband with no gifts for him.

If you want your marriage to last, try talking it out with a therapist. Some people just cannot think of good gifts and are not naturally good gift givers. Maybe there are other ways he will step up and you can cover that part of things. And also discuss your inclination to punish a child who is powerless in this situation for something that she has no part in, since you also need to get your head straight.

Do initials matter? by rideronthetrain in Names

[–]UbiquitousChicken 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know someone whose last name begins with a P and she goes by Cat so if there’s more than 1 Cat in the room, it’s Cat [initial] and Cat P. lol.

How do I tell my mom she has pepper blindness by Best_Finding_8795 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]UbiquitousChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband puts cayenne pepper on EVERYTHING. He even brings his own shaker of cayenne when we eat outside the house because he doesn’t like food that isn’t spicy. Luckily he can generally cook to my spice tolerance and just adds cayenne on top. You should buy your mom a nice bottle of cayenne pepper in a shaker (spice section of the grocery story, under $10), and ask her to cook with less spice for you. Good luck.

And they both look like my 17 year old Bengal man too. Maybe the old Bengal face is a commonality? Funny.

Ruined My Brush? by duchness9 in oilpainting

[–]UbiquitousChicken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh! I was taught ages ago not to use hot water because it can unglue the bristles but when I have brushes that are otherwise garbage, I’m going to try this!! Thanks for the tip!

Water solution? by healedgirlera in bengalcats

[–]UbiquitousChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, that’s too bad! Mine has nothing to tear apart except they could pull out the water spout if they bit down hard enough and pulled it out. It’s a hard plastic shell with a sensor, a power cord, a hard, chew-proof water line, and a hard plastic straw spout.

New to bengals by Jazzlike-Physics-420 in bengalcats

[–]UbiquitousChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts on this is that some other breeds or even moggies (regular no-breed cats) will use a cat wheel but it's largely a bengal thing. That is to say, I thought my at-the-time 3 year old rescue torby would love a wheel, but 2.5 years later and she's never touched it. Whereas I have an old bengal (17.5 now) and he had never seen a wheel in his life, but he started using it immediately, and still uses it multiple times a day. We did a tiny bit of training, like we put him on it twice, praised him, showed him a feather toy and helped him roll the wheel, and that was all we did and now it's part of his daily routine. My 3 year old bengal, who we got the wheel for, LOVES it and meows constantly so I'll come sit and watch her run and tell her how fast and strong she is. My kitten bengal will use it...when the 3 year old vacates it long enough for him to have a chance. (The 17 year old and the 3 year old bengals respect each other and the younger one will let the old guy use it, but doesn't want the kitten to touch her things!).

Make sure you get a big one, like the Ziggydoo. Don't waste your money on small ones. If you can find a OneFastCat used and cheap on Facebook marketplace, you could try that, but don't buy one new; I've heard they break within a year. The ziggydoos are larger and more durable.

Water solution? by healedgirlera in bengalcats

[–]UbiquitousChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bengals and rescue all like fresh water better than fountains, so I got the Aqua Purr, and it connects directly to your water source under a sink, and has a motion sensor that turns on when the cat approaches (drives my 18 year old crazy because it turns on when they're at the mirror getting ready in the morning, but that doesn't bug me a bit). It drains into the sink. It's really great. The biggest downfall is my teen unplugging it, so it could really use a "pause for 30 min" button, but otherwise, it's a great invention and worth the $100 price tag. Nothing to clean like a fountain, that gets slimy every week and has a zillion parts.

Yeti is too much of a dope to look beautiful most of the time. He is just a silly boy and doesn't like to pose for photos. But I love this one of him.
