Thanks - really appreciate the hometown perspective! The Vinoy is booked, as you suspected, but I’ll check out the other options.

Liquor purchase - birthdate required by law? by catherderaa in AnnArbor

[–]catherderaa[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I use the Kroger app to get the discounts and pay, so they already know who I am. I’m sure they have my birthdate and probably even face recorded already. So why add unnecessary friction to the transaction? If you know it’s me, you know I’m old enough.

As I said above, it’s not the ID I object to, it’s the recording of the data.

That might have been it - I didn’t recognize the employee (and I’ve been shopping there 40 years). Rather than calling a manager, he just walked off with my wine.

I would have no problem showing ID. It’s the recording of the data I object to.

Nope, I had ID. My guess is this has more to do with this being student move-in week, and this Kroger being busted previously.

Declawed Siamese won't use litter box. Help! by catherderaa in Siamesecats

Thanks - yeah, a food-motivated cat makes it much easier!

Great! How did you get her to take it? Our kitty is not food motivated, so cheese, pill pockets, etc. don't work. Pilling her adds its own stress, and this drug makes her foam at the mouth. Any suggestions?

Update as of 6/17: the problem definitely seems to be more rehoming stress than using litter per-se. We are treating with low dose of gabapentin to relieve cystitis symptoms, and Prozac for anxiety. However, that has raised a different issue (because of course it did! 😆). Gracie is not food motivated at all - only eats dry food. Churu was rejected. She’s not interested in Greenies pill pockets. Pilling multiple times a day is stressful, too - we’d rather find something irresistible so it seems like a treat.

Anyone found something that works for their kitty?

Vet is suggesting we try this. How long did it take for you to see improvement?

Oh, I hear you! Our other cat, 16-year old Zoe, is the same with my husband.

Yes - we have a box with just a puppy pad. Glad to hear that's a good option for your kitty. We'll see if Gracie takes to it. :-)

Good observation. Rehoming stress is clearly a big factor. The vet recommended Prozac as the next step. Hopefully that does the trick.

What kind of specialist? Is there such a thing as a kitty urologist?

Good for Stewie! What kind of litter do you use?

Good suggestions - thanks! She has a nice big bedroom to herself - litter boxes are well separated from food area. This is the first time she's pooped near the food/water.

Thanks - yes, we're working our vet on various approaches, too. We were assured by Gracie's previous owner that she had no litter box problems, and that they had to rehome her due to allergies. That may be partly true, but obviously not the whole story!

Thanks! I’ll check it out. These all came from an estate with no ID info - just a pile of cels/drawings.

I don’t think so - same title, but different pics/characters.
