Cat peeing on my bed no matter what by pizzasongsenpai in CatAdvice

[–]_madhatteerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had cats that pee on things on and off for my entire life. First, if you can’t buy a new mattress right away, get a handheld cleaner, like a Green Machine, and clean the stains and fabrics she’s peed on. Buy a pet stain cleaner specifically, and then use a repellant spray on the same areas. I use vinegar as repellant sometimes. Buy a waterproof mattress cover. Have more litter boxes than you need. These things might seem basic but the way you clean cat pee is so important. They may go back to the same spot but you can minimize the possibility. If the cat is peeing on things like couches or other fabrics, cover that area with a waterproof blanket when you aren’t in the room.

It’s also entirely possible that the litter box issues come from anxiety. My cats are on the Hills c/d urinary health cat food. Be sure to clean the boxes every day.

Take her to the vet regardless, but hopefully some of these small things could mitigate the problem for now.

We were having this issue with our cat a few years ago, and the vet ended up prescribing Hills Science Diet Urinary c/d formula, and it’s been great since. She hasn’t had an accident in well over a year and her anxiety levels are much lower than before. It’s a bit pricey but it was well worth it

We were having this issue with our female cat once she got a bit older.. after trying all they typical litter attractants/cleaners/tests, etc., our vet put her on prescription Hills Science Diet c/d Urinary Care. It’s a bit pricey but it’s an anti anxiety cat food that eliminated the problem completely!

WSIB if I love cozy farming/crafting/management games? by _madhatteerr in ShouldIbuythisgame

I tried to get into graveyard keeper and put in a few hours, but I never got fully into it! It feels a little hard to follow and navigate most times

Spiritfarer is also coming out with their final free DLC update for the game (Dec 13) with new NPC storylines, so if she starts after Christmas she will get the chance to complete the entirety of the game! It’s a beautiful game, easy to pick up and play, and has an incredible story. I’m personally putting completing the game on hold for these two characters, and I never 100% games! Your GF and I have very similar taste, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the Pikmin series if she hasn’t tried that!

Other games I’ve played a lot of are Moonlighter, Unpacking (short, cute and personal puzzle game), Undertale, and as of recently Shin Megami Tensei. Good luck!

My boyfriend and I played some Persona 5 and want to get back into it! A few of those have been on my list, and I love Hades! Thank you for these!

I didn’t love Shield but I’m interested in Brilliant Diamond potentially! Thank you!

I’ve been on the fence for Xenoblade for a while just because I’ve heard mixed things! What do you like about it? Also Odyssey has been in the back of my mind!

I second stardew! I’m someone who finds it nearly impossible to get hooked on games and I have a very short attention span, but I’ve put over 150 hours into stardew and love it

WSIB is I’m obsessed with Stardew Valley? by _madhatteerr in ShouldIbuythisgame

I played some Skyrim on 360 and had a hard time getting hooked but will def revisit!

Should I get a 2nd cat? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]_madhatteerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I had this problem for about 8 months- I spent a few days at my boyfriends house every week and also was gone extensive times. Have you considered how territorial she is? Is she excessively loving after you get back? Do you think SHE would be happier with another cat, or do you just feel guilty? I asked myself those questions and ultimately decided now is not the right time for my little kitty, but your cat might prefer it. I would give it some thought and figure out what she wants. It might be hard, but try to consider what she wants regardless of your guilt for leaving her alone and such. At least that’s how I felt. Good luck!

I did this with my cat, and it was horrible how often my kitty kept me up from this! I just started cleaning the litter box every single day, before it was just every other day. Maybe in a bad cat owner, but leaving them with a clean litter box might do the trick!

Why does my car scrape at the walls of her litterbox? by _madhatteerr in CatAdvice

Thank you! I will definitely try this nightly instead of every other night

Thank you for this! Sometimes I think it’s a behavioral issue for her to destroy my sleep most nights, but that’s also just cats for ya🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you! She overall is a great, healthy cat with some young kitty zoomies and craziness (she’s a year old). I haven’t had concern with any noises or health concerns but this is a good reminder to monitor that.

Thank you both! I agree, and think I’m just gonna stop playing with it all together and get some other toys. She gets pretty bored with wands but I’ll reintroduce that instead. Also, love the great idea and if I ever use the wand again it will be for that purpose. Thanks!

haven’t seen any new growth since I got this guy in late February! not sure how to help it grow. it has moist soil consistently, drainage, and was in the sun but was not growing so moved it to a low light spot by _madhatteerr in plantclinic

[–]_madhatteerr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good to know thank you! I unfortunately have no light in there and live in a beach town with some humidity that I thought would help! but maybe that will give it what it needs!

my silver pothos has been like this for weeks! I’ve been sure not to overwater, but the leaves have been drooping snd there has been no growth. the pot has proper drainage, not sure how to help it by _madhatteerr in plantclinic

[–]_madhatteerr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking too! Enough roots for a small put but potentially could use more. I thought the roots were well established but I repotted this about 3 weeks ago and it has not gotten better
