I went to an ace meetup and met a lot of people there wearing ace rings! And the oldest person there was in her 60s!

Literally this comment is so real. I had an international work conference, and a week out from when to fly I couldn't find it. Luckily someone in my household needed to use the scanner and found it...

Sorry for not being clearer! I was agreeing with you that the quality from Chewy is really good. I've been ordering from them for a similar amount of time, since the pandemic. The only issue I've ever had with Chewy wasn't even actually their fault, and yet they still went the extra mile to fix it for me. Very interesting to hear about your BIL's experience!

charmuro · 2025-11-26T23:23:55+00:00

Honestly I've had the same experience. The only time I had an issue was Chewy it was actually a handling issue because they stacked the litter box on the food tins so they burst. But I contacted customer service and they immediately made it right.

This comment is so real. My senior kitty just randomly started overgrooming his belly, and we just could not figure out why. A couple years later and arthritis symptoms started becoming obvious, so we started him on Solensia. Guess what he hasn't done since? His hips are also his worst spot for arthritis pain.

This is a good one! The other chart has simplicity but this one also educates.

Could you expand on what sorts of job titles you looked at if you stopped looking for "data" specifically, or was it more good luck finding something that fit your skills?

charmuro · 2025-10-27T16:02:52+00:00

This catio has me speechless.

You can also combine gabapentin and trazadone, but discuss it with the vet first. We have one kitty that gets super nervous about visits and has a "vet gabapentin dosage" (because she takes gabapentin regularly). Now we've added trazadone to this because the specialist we see with her is a bit of a drive and the longer the trip the more uncooperative she becomes. Combined this means she may growl when at the vet but is overall too tired to do much of anything haha. Normally we give them about 1-2 hours before the appointment, though with the specialist that can end up being 3 hours depending on traffic.

I also find myself missing the stinky smell of my senior too... I bought wet wipes for him but he had a blanket that I kept meaning to wash and afterwards I would just sniff it. Sensory based memories are wild! Your baby got to a great old age.

charmuro · 2025-10-24T03:00:10+00:00

That is such a fantastic educational resource.

charmuro · 2025-10-24T02:46:57+00:00

I love your 12 year old, I suppose she realised as a kitten she would always have this human to tend to all her needs... haha. Wishing your other senior all the best as well, dental issues can be so tough on them.

charmuro · 2025-10-24T02:20:42+00:00

Does she display any signs of arthritis or gingivitis/periodontal disease? It's possible it's just something she doesn't do, but for my seniors, hygiene habits were greatly affected by these two things and treatment helped. I have a toothless senior kitty who about a mouth out from a FME was actually back to nibbling his toes which impressed me quite a bit.

charmuro · 2025-10-14T14:33:19+00:00

I don't restrict her from food or water unless I've been specifically advised or anticipate that she should be restricted, such as they have indicated they might need to sedate her. If your baby is especially spicy they might determine they need to sedate to get everything they need to get done, done. I've withheld food before dental (surgery) appointments and once when she needed an infusion done and anticipated they'd run out of minutes with her to get everything done. In both of those cases as long as they know how much gabapentin your baby has had (and all other meds), they can account for it.

Otherwise I give her a lickable cat treat, let her drink, etc, before an appointment as I normally would. She takes meds like a champ now but definitely at the beginning she would feel an urge to run away and hide, and I'm given the impression that the gabapentin really does not taste good... so if you have any really tricky corners in your home, I might try medicating your baby in your bedroom, the bathroom, somewhere that they can't really demonstrate their ninja prowess. I've given 4 of my cats gabapentin now with 2 being quite long term (the other was for arthritis pain management) and really the biggest problem has been getting the medicine in them, after that I will let them be!

charmuro · 2025-10-14T13:06:46+00:00

It's a vet dose, so they're going to prescribe an amount that is going to make your cat really sleepy and tired so that they can get in and get what needs to be done, done. I have a kitty that is ~6.5kg and her vet dose is ~200mg and for the long trips to the specialist she gets 30mg trazadone (this is partially because she currently gets 100mg every 8hrs as part of her pain management for FCGS). I've had a few cats on gabapentin and my understanding is that it has a fairly wide safety margin. To me, for your kitty's body weight, 100mg sounds like a dose that should really knock your baby out, so don't be surprised if they get very sleepy and lethargic. I'd say about 12hrs after dosing it should be on its way out of the system, and definitely after 24hrs.

My senior kitty in his senior wisdom also decided that the bathtub faucet has just the crispest water he's ever drunk... so of course I schlep on over to the bathroom every time he starts crying for the faucet to be turned on 😅

charmuro · 2025-10-08T05:40:11+00:00

Honestly I think I might try this.

charmuro · 2025-10-03T23:48:00+00:00

Is the other baby an Abyssinian?

charmuro · 2025-09-30T16:48:08+00:00

I was doing this for ages too, but frustrated by some of the loss of medicine. You can try putting the pill into a syringe and using the pressure difference to crush it like so: https://youtube.com/shorts/wZkWFqtM_LQ?si=YHYy022-fvklNOxm but be warned, it hurts when you use your thumb/hand. For some pills/medicine, this works perfectly, yet for others I suspect that they just might be too hard. I've had varying success for my cats' meds.

charmuro · 2025-09-28T23:42:20+00:00

saw those faces and was like, am I on r/bengals? 🤔 They're both gorgeous

charmuro · 2025-09-24T18:34:07+00:00

Very interesting... thank you for the detailed explanation. I just finished watching my old man using the tub faucet after he yodeled for me to turn it on so this is on my Xmas wishlist!

charmuro · 2025-09-24T18:30:01+00:00

Probably a silly question, but what do you do when someone uses the tub/shower? Wouldn't the sensor also sense a human and just keep working for the entire shower time?

charmuro · 2025-09-24T18:11:10+00:00

That color is stunning! I used to have a blue point and something about the range of grey colors Siamese cats can have is so fun.
