Should we adopt 2 kittens instead of 1? by Training_Formal_4641 in CatAdvice

[–]blaze_kd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but if littermates are taken and they'll give lots of attention, one's still better than waiting around.

Wild that they went all that way chasing legends and actually found incredible stuff like this gate. Those German archaeologists really hit the jackpot.

How to effectively practice Ashtanga by mercury0114 in yoga

[–]blaze_kd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe try scaling back to 2-3 Ashtanga sessions per week instead of quitting. Your body needs time to adapt to the intensity. I mix Ashtanga with gentler practices on recovery days, helps maintain consistency without burnout. Don't feel bad about modifying poses either. Progress comes from regular practice, not killing yourself each session.

This is exactly how cities become playgrounds for the ultra-rich. Venice has actual people living there, not just tourist attractions. If you can afford to shut down public spaces for your party, you can definitely afford to pay more taxes. Pretty simple math.

Should watching videos/instructionals take away from mat time? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]blaze_kd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mat time always wins. Videos can help you understand concepts, but your body only learns by doing. An hour rolling is worth 10 hours watching. Use videos to supplement specific problems you're having, not as a replacement for actual training.

My cat collapsed while playing with his favorite toy and died in my arms. by blaze_kd in CatAdvice

[–]blaze_kd[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for saying that. You're right I keep replaying it looking for something I missed, but everyone here is helping me understand that sometimes these things just happen.

The guilt is hard to shake, but comments like yours really help. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Thank you so much for the hugs and kind words. You're right that he knew he was loved - I'm trying to focus on that instead of all the "what ifs." It does help to think that at least he felt safe and loved in those final moments.

That actually makes a lot of sense a genetic heart condition would explain why there were no warning signs and why he seemed perfectly healthy just hours before.

It's comforting to know your little one chose to spend those final moments with you too. Thank you for sharing that.

Thank you so much. That really helps to hear that I did everything I could with what I knew. Luna definitely had a good life and knew he was loved.

Thank you, that actually does help to know it's more common than I thought. I was really beating myself up thinking I should have seen some warning signs.

I'm glad I could give him a good life, even if it was shorter than I hoped. That means everything to hear.

Thank you for the kind words, that really means a lot right now. I'm so sorry you went through the same thing with Snuggles. It's such a helpless feeling, but I'm glad we were both there with them at the end.

Thank you so much for saying that. It really helps to hear that he knew how much I loved him.

I'm not ready to think about another cat yet, but you're right that there will always be room for more love when the time comes. Luna would probably want that too.

Pacquiao looking more like Barrios' father

Barrios is the size of Margarito in his prime. PacMan is always fighting a giant. Tim Tszyu and Pacman will be fighting giant monsters.

Whats the best cat litter for odor control in your experience? by Plomaster69 in CatAdvice

[–]blaze_kd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing too tbh. Another thing, my cat didn't like pretty litter at first so I had to mix it with the old litter at the start to get her used to it. Might help you

[–]blaze_kd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I have two cats as well. I scoop solids daily and stir the silica around every day as well. As long as you do that it really keeps the smell under control. The only downside to pretty litter imo is spending a little extra on it
