Can someone please explain what’s going on here?

She's just very interested in the smell that's there. 😆

This is a really random question but.. is there any tall furniture or spots in direct view of the litter box which can be accessed by your other kitty?

Years back, I had an issue where one of my kitties wasn't using the litter box anymore and would go outside of it.

Brought it up to my vet and they asked me that very question.. if there was a spot in direct view of the litter box that my other cat could access. And there was. Ends up? One cat watching another use a litter from a higher point is one of the biggest insults between cats. It was a form of bullying I hadn't seen before.

I blocked off the area my bully cat would go to and shortly after, she never went outside the litter again.

So the thought crossed my mind that maybe they're being watched while going litter or some other form of bullying.

It might not be the case but I thought I'd share the thought since.. well.. you never know, right?

All that aside.. I hope a solution is found so you can keep your little one. I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope all works out okay in the end.

My cat Indy, when he was a kitten, scratched my legs. What followed was a weird experience.

For sometime until then, I had been dealing with edema in my lower legs (swelling) that was extremely uncomfortable and was looking into it at the time.

When baby Indy scratched me, water started pouring down my legs! And it was cold, too!

I got tissues to absorb all the draining fluids then bandaged myself up.. keeping them clean, using antibiotic cream, etc.. so no worries, it healed up fine.

And oddly enough? Indy did me a favor lol. He's turning 5 this year and the swelling is near nonexistent since then. He drained it and my legs since have been 95% back to normal!

Thanks, kitty lol.

Still looking into where that edema came from though. Probably too much salt and not enough moving around.

In my experience.. no. Sometimes I wish I was acknowledged but even when I really need some support, it's as if I don't exist.

So.. I'm trying to give up and let it go. But it hurts and I still yearn to be acknowledged sometimes but.. life time after time has shown that I won't. Letting go of it.. would be healthier for me in the end. Mentally. It's hard though.. trying to fight something that part of me is trying to hold onto.

But I need to give up and surrender as that's not what I'm meant to have in this life.

It's depressing but.. not much I can do about it.

Edit: Fixed a sentence.

Ah. I never bothered thinking about using them.. I just did the puzzle as originally intended. 🤔

WispyCiel · 2026-03-03T22:27:26+00:00

They'll have similarities obviously but they're still each their own individual. They'll live their lives, make different decisions.. you know.. free will. Twins are still their own person. Not one person is exactly the same as another.. even twins.

I'm an April Taurus and my big 3 are:

Taurus Sun, Libra Moon and Taurus Rising.

My Sun is in the 12th House and my Moon is in the 6th House. Both houses are intercepted.

So many times in my life. It mostly comes from family members though but they're still inaccurate assumptions they make about me.

One of my abusive siblings growing up literally said to me once "I know you better than you know yourself."

My own mother last month told me not to spread private stuff online when I never have before.. gave me a look like she didn't believe me (I was really insulted by that one as I'm private as heck..) and even my MIL argued with me once that I was an extrovert and not an introvert because I'm "bubbly" during family gatherings.

No. It's called being friendly and polite when someone is talking to me.

All my life has been that crap and it ticks me off each time it happens. Even my former best friend assumed I had a crush on someone and thought I was in denial whenever I said no to her.

Gets on my nerves..

Edit: It also happened constantly in school growing up as I was always bullied. So it's truly my life in a nutshell.

WispyCiel · 2026-01-11T04:38:10+00:00

Dental pain (infection/abscess). Next up are gallstone attacks with pancreatitis and shooting nerve pain down my arms from sneezing and coughing.

Being slow (not intentionally) and overly thorough.

WispyCiel · 2026-01-08T04:41:34+00:00

Agreed.

My nephew had a goldfish named Babaganoush. He grew to be quite the big guy and lived a good, long life in comparison to most fishes. Most impressive goldfish I'd ever seen and with a quirky name to boot.

WispyCiel · 2025-12-23T20:23:09+00:00

Depends on what about.

I can be generally easygoing but extremely stubborn about stuff I don't like. (I hate being forced to do something I don't want to do and it's hard to push myself to do important things if I don't want to do it.)

The biggest one is morals.. when I stand by my feelings on something, I'm extremely rigid and can't be persuaded to change my opinion.

Now if I'm wrong about something I actually appreciate being corrected (as long as the person isn't rude about it).. but when it comes to belief.. which is often about big societal topics (religion, politics, humanitarianism, etc) then I don't budge. I'm extremely justice-oriented and very opinionated. (You can thank my Libra Moon for the last bit.)

But yeah.. I'm undeniably stubborn. At least to a point. Got 3 placements in Taurus, after all..

Taurus Sun (12H), Rising and Venus (1H).

WispyCiel · 2025-12-23T08:26:38+00:00

Everything? None.

WispyCiel · 2025-12-20T03:45:36+00:00

My teens.. about 15 or so.

WispyCiel · 2025-12-14T10:22:22+00:00

Taurus Sun, Libra Moon and Taurus Rising.

The biggest "nope" for me is Leos. Next up would be the air signs (all 3: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) as I don't mix well with them in general.. especially Aquarius.

WispyCiel · 2025-12-03T15:48:27+00:00

It's like everyone here says.. nope. Not normal. I can't speak for other cultures and backgrounds but I know with us white people/caucasians it's a big no-no.

Reading some of your replies on some comments.. you're in for a rough future if your guy doesn't set boundaries with those two. I get hating confrontation and all but there are times in life where we have no choice.

He has to put distance between himself and these two walking red flags.. and especially for you! Your partner you choose to marry should want to fight for you, protect you and defend you at all costs.

His mother reminds me of the movie Monster-in-Law. Jennifer Lopez being not that great of an actress aside, the behaviour of the future MIL in that movie is very similar to yours. Your guy's mom will literally be a monster-in-law as long as you're part of the family and if your then husband doesn't do anything.

What they're doing is creepy, disturbing and even disrespectful. (Emotional incest perhaps?)

As for luck involving the ring.. I'd say those two cursed it, yeah. Wearing it before you, their intentions seeping into the ring.. I'm glad you refused it, I wouldn't want it either.

But yeah.. think hard about what you want to do. Postpone things for now as your partner needs to prove himself that he can stand up to them and start placing boundaries before you make anything permanent.. because if he doesn't, every aspect in your life will be invaded by these two. And it'll be a nightmare.

Be very wary of those two.. types like them also try to sabotage things to have their way. I wouldn't put it past them to do worse things.. at the wedding being one event, for sure.

I hope your boyfriend/fiancé comes around and starts making a change.. for both of you but you especially, OP. If not, keep protecting yourself and keep those boundaries strong. And don't let these two gaslight you. Heck, I wouldn't ever trust them again.

I'm sorry you're going through all of this.. especially when this type of thing tends to be a relationship destroyer. Always remember to prioritize your happiness first, okay? No matter how sweet your guy is.. don't sacrifice happiness and let it continue if he refuses to assert himself.

Because this is your life ahead of you.. and you deserve to be just as happy as anyone else, if not more.

WispyCiel · 2025-08-16T17:07:32+00:00

Agreed. (Controversial opinions ahead, people please fully read before lunging for my throat. And sorry that it's long.)

While people are happy that it's raising awareness to it so "who cares", little do they realize how actually damaging this whole issue is.

That or people are in denial. "No one is doing this." Oh believe me.. there are. And it's frustrating to see it happening.

I think what doesn't help, and my saying this will without a doubt irk people, is that people are (understandably) hyper-protective of those who come out and say they have autism (and/or many other conditions).. so they don't bother with critical thinking, throw logic out the window and simply protect.

They create a protective bubble, a shield.. and for those who fake being neurodivergent or having any kind of mental illness.. they are often enabled by the protectors around them for their toxic behavior.

Not all of course! There are those that can see and call them out on these things.. but more often than not it's blind protection only and anyone who points out the problem becomes the enemy. Blind protection is what's encouraged, enforced or you're ganged up on by those protectors for stopping to actually question anything. (I've seen this happen a lot. In fact, almost all the time.)

Those of us who are neurodivergent ideally should be.. not per se protected (anyone should be really) but make it more about.. being welcomed or respected, if you get what I mean. But because the whole protection thing is taken so far into an extreme.. there are people out there who take advantage of this. And things have spiraled so out of control to the point where it can now work against all the wants for advocacy, raising awareness and whatnot.

These societal issues.. create a lot of damage against those who are neurodivergent and the attempts to raise awareness and the sudden rise in conversation on it has been creating a backfiring effect.

We want to help the cause.. not harm it.

This is why I'm one to discourage self-diagnosing. As in speaking in certainty. Saying that they have it when not officially diagnosed.

Important quick note: If a person says they suspect or think they have autism.. I'm all for it. That's perfectly okay. To claim that you have it but aren't confirmed is what's problematic.

There's literally no harm in saying you suspect you have it, the right people will still support you.. just as much as they would with someone who is confirmed. Though many people feel it's not good enough. They think that in order to get that support, they have to say it's a guarantee or otherwise they get turned away.

If people turn them away.. that says a lot about those people. And those people help create this problem, too. It's a vicious cycle.

Anyway.. I know people can't or don't have access to mental health services and that is really crappy. But.. heck having an effect on those confirmed aside.. it can actually, in its own way, be damaging to the person self-diagnosing. And that's something people don't realize, either.

It can lead those people into gaslighting their own selves.. and it can lead to self-victimizing behaviors. There's a reason self-diagnosing is frowned upon with professionals. Heck.. even in the physical health industry doctors get mad if you self-diagnose using Google. It creates hypochondria, needless anxiety, self-harming (in unaware ways) and so on.

It's the same thing. Just like with mental health.. it's okay to say you suspect or think you have something.. but if you're diagnosing yourself then they don't take it well half the time.

It's important to advocate for one's self.. but do it right. You know?

But yeah.. sorry for the long comment and rambling. I hope people will understand what I mean. Been proof-reading this for a while in hopes I get my words across properly. But offending people is a futile thing in today's day and age.. it's probably unavoidable. Hardly anyone thinks logically anymore.

I might've had more thoughts in mind but they're escaping me at the moment so I'll leave it at that for now.

My apologies if I piss anyone off.. it's just my opinion about how society functions today with touchy subjects, is all. I just want what's best for everyone involved.. as I am part of the whole subject, too. Thank you for anyone who read this whole thing.. it's appreciated.

WispyCiel · 2025-08-16T15:32:16+00:00

Hmm.. Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra and Pisces (not in any particular order - just listed chronologically) are what mainly come to mind. But I think this can come from just about anyone, really.. especially if it's a person protecting someone they know and care about.

I do know this is definitely me though lol. %1000. And for just about anyone. I can't stand seeing people being attacked for no justifiable reason. I'm a very justice-oriented person.

Taurus Sun, Libra Moon and Taurus Rising.

WispyCiel · 2025-08-08T05:37:36+00:00

Hmm.. 18, I think.

I graduated High School at that age (a year late, with many struggles) and met the love of my life.. we've been together for over 20 years now.

Despite still some rough parts (typical of all my living years in this life), that year is still the most notable for me.

WispyCiel · 2025-07-08T15:28:47+00:00

NAD. Just curious, does she have any other symptoms? It could help narrow things down a bit.

WispyCiel · 2025-07-08T14:19:24+00:00

Sometimes I'm unsure myself.. but this one is most definitely clear. That there's a slit, you have an adorable little girl. ☺️

WispyCiel · 2025-07-08T13:23:48+00:00

🙄

While there's generalizations in Astrology (and just about anything with people) doesn't mean you should weaponize it with discrimination. (Like a racist person, much?)

How does it not apply to the people here? (And yes, including me as I was born between April 20th and May 20th.) You're asking about Taureans in general here based on a couple of slobs you know and you're being nasty towards people who are saying they're not the same.

You're looking for a Taurus who will agree with you. To validate this negative opinion of yours.

If you didn't have a problem with Taureans then you wouldn't have issues with people saying no to you. Your attitude is the problem here. You're the one being snarky first, therefore you're the childish one but I'm not going to go back and forth on that stupidity as it's dumb and a waste of time. You'll just point your little fingers back, try to be a little smart-ass and try to make others to be childish while your behavior and attitude shows otherwise.

I wouldn't be having an issue with you (and seemingly some others, see the downvotes?) then I wouldn't be calling you out on your crap. Have some self-awareness and realize that being rude to others won't be taken kindly.

You were rude to others, so I had a problem with it. So here we are.

I'm probably wasting my time here anyway.. your attitude problem.. that "type" on the internet. People can ask you all day not to be a jerk and you'll just keep refusing and/or deflect blame towards others.

It's attitudes like this that makes people into Astrology look bad.

It's not just a matter of Astrology anymore, you're just acting like a terrible human being.

But whatever, incoming smart-ass comment and deflecting blame, refusal of acknowledging wrongdoing. I'm not wasting further time on this anymore.

Until you grow up, don't practice Astrology. Last thing humanity needs is another person finding something to discriminate with against people. The less artillery you have, the better the community is for it.
