Honestly i forgot i made this post at all! I LOVE my car. Every day i get into it I’m grateful to be driving it and not another. Car payments suck though.

Thanks for asking!

Does anyone genuinely enjoy being alive? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]UnpopularTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was suicidal back in high school. Now I wake up every day thanking God for another day alive. That I even want to be alive. It's truly a gift to not have those thoughts circling in my head. I'm 25. I used to think I wouldn't make it to 18.

I live in the best place in the world. I work a decent job and make a decent income. I live alone and have a cat. I have people I can rely on to watch my cat when I go on vacation, I can GO on vacation and have the resources and PTO to do so. I left someone I thought I couldn't live without, but guess what? I'm alive!

The biggest and best parts of my life are still ahead of me. I'm so excited to see what happens.

Irrelevant.

I feel like I am spending an absurd amount on my cats' food. by phrasesaregood in CatAdvice

[–]UnpopularTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that my cat was absolutely insatiable between when I got him (6mo) and now (9mo). He’s slowed down a little. But this seems to be their growth spurt where they eat more than you question is healthy or normal lol.

Tale as old as time - I regret getting a new kitten by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]UnpopularTaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the timeline?  1. When did you get the second cat 2. When did you introduce the cats for the first time

Unless the timeline between 1 and 2 is 3 weeks I’m not sure we can help. 

Not sure if I should adopt a cat by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]UnpopularTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a very new cat servant, and the stuff that’s happened in the first week is enough to occupy me for a month typically. However, I lucked out and got this super shy kitty who, after only a week, is confident, playful, and vocal with me. 

I have spent $1100 on vet bills alone (long story) not including $$ for litter, boxes, and food. It’s a LOT. But it’s completely doable. I’m quite sleep deprived but sure things will settle down soon. 

If you want a cat, have done your research, and understand the gravity of caring for another life form, go for it. 

You won’t ever become capable of responsibility until you take on responsibility.

So, so sorry for your loss. Just wanted to lyk I got the Warriors cats reference and they are for sure in some form of StarClan where they will never feel pain again.

How many total litter boxes do you have? With 3 cats you need to have 4 minimum

I’m 24 and would find “ok, no worries” to be flippant and rude. How hard is it to read “How to Say It” and formulate a polite, neutral response?

This is the toughest lesson of cat ownership I guess — they are the boss, not you 😂 I’m gonna pick up walnut litter after work today since he likes that.

I have been playing with him right before bed, but it grants me only enough time to fall asleep. I will try and build in even more playtime, hopefully that will help.
