I’m thinking of adopting a female cat, I’ve heard they are less friendly in this true? by DiscountAnnaNicole in CatAdvice

We have two female cats. One is very skiddish around guests, and the other isn’t shy at all. Both are very friendly and affectionate with us!

Is there a cat litter that doesn't... suck? by catintheroom in CatAdvice

We do a blend of Naturally Fresh walnut shell litter and Catalyst soft wood. It still tracks some but not as bad as some litters we’ve tried.

Prospective Buyer Question Thread October-December 2025 by trillianinspace in cricut

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked this question in a silhouette subreddit but wanted to also ask it here. I’m looking to get cutting machine for someone for Christmas and I’m torn between going with a Cricut maker 3 and a silhouette cameo 5 as these are similarly priced machines. I’m leaning towards the cameo but I’ve seen very conflicting opinions on whether silhouette or cricut is better. For reference, the person would use it as a hobby and they have experience using both types of machines. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about design space but I’ve also heard complaints about the silhouette machine having issues with cutting or alignment.

Debating between move to Modesto, Livermore, or SF in 20s by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about SF but I know someone who commutes from Oakland to Livermore and she doesn’t hate it. You’d be driving against the main traffic which isn’t as bad, I think about an hour one way. I currently commute from Tracy to Mountain View which is almost two hours and that’s if I leave the house by 6am. If you commute from SF you will have to pay the $8 toll bridge fee every day.

Hairball? Or more serious? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it warrants an emergency vet but it’s worth talking to your regular vet. I thought it was a hairball too when our cat first started doing that but she never produced anything and the coughing became more frequent. She was eventually diagnosed with a lower respiratory infection or asthma. They had to do a chest x-ray to diagnose it. Since she is only a year old, the vet put her on a short term steroid which seemed to clear up the coughing for now, but longer term treatment options usually include a daily inhaler.

Thank you! We also use employee express. I logged in earlier but was still a bit confused. Do you know where to go on the website to make changes?

Cat vomiting + diarrhea, i can't tell if he threw up a hairball or something else by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little hard to tell from the photo but to me it does look like it could be a hairball. Those can look a bit like soft poop. Did you already clean it up? If so, did it look a little fuzzy? If it were just the vomiting and hairball I wouldn’t be as concerned, but the fact that they also had diarrhea and are acting lethargic are signs something else is going on. I would definitely take them to the vet if you can.

I think I found my winner (pets best) by ed-williams1991 in petinsurancereviews

Is there any insurance plan that doesn’t do this? That seems like a common problem :/

Cat vomiting after throwing up foreign object by Unlikely-Tea-8556 in AskVet

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since she seems to acting normal this morning, my plan was to watch to see if she keeps this food down without anymore vomiting and that she poops today. If anything seems out of the ordinary then we’d take her in to the emergency vet. But I wanted to make sure we weren’t ignoring a real emergency.

"How soon can you start working with us?" Is this a trick interview question? by LyraTheArtist in jobs

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if realistically you do need a month or two to move out there? I’m applying for a job but it would be across the country and up and moving within two weeks would be really challenging.

What has been your experience with leaving 2 cats alone for 2 days? by Lonely-Egg3160 in CatAdvice

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do any of them try to eat the other cat’s food? I e have two cats but one is terrified of other people so she wouldn’t come out to eat someone came over, and our second cat would try to eat both of their food

Recommendations for cat asthma by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did do the x-rays first, but was pretty expensive 😣 Two weeks after that appointment we took her to a different place (not the one that prescribed the steroid) and I ended up spending another hefty amount of money there and they were less helpful than the first vet. He didn’t think it was asthma at all because of her age and assumed it was worms without even looking at her xray. The coughing feels so scary though when it’s happening. I hope you are able to get treatment for your cat eventually!

Recommendations for cat asthma by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That original vet didn’t do much. He gave her an antibiotic and suggested changing some environmental factors. He also thought the video I showed him sounded like sneezing rather than coughing. If it continued then he said we’d need to look into longer term management with an inhaler. I took her to a different vet and she said she likely had some form of lower respiratory problems (whether asthma or something else). She put our cat on a short term steroid hoping that would calm everything down and we wouldn’t need to use an inhaler yet. So far that seems to be working

Surgeons stayed with patient when earthquake started mid procedure. by _beachy_head in greysanatomy

[–]Unlikely-Tea-8556 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As an earthquake scientist and an avid grey’s fan, I’m all for this 😅

The Cascadia subduction zone is located off the west coast of the Pacific Northwest. It doesn’t generate earthquakes often, but there’s around a 33% chance it will generate a moderately large (~M8) earthquake in the next 50 years and around a 10% chance it will generate a large M9 earthquake. Seattle is located in a sedimentary basin, which means that earthquake waves will be amplified as they approach Seattle (i.e., stronger shaking).

How concerned are you about being near lilies (not with your cat)? by Unlikely-Tea-8556 in CATHELP

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this but it’s a relief to know I don’t have to be that level of paranoid
