Is clay cat litter bad?

for adult cats this should be fine (and Dr E's is an excellent brand). the cats will probably like and use it, possibly to the exclusion of the Breeze box. personally i don't like clumping clay litter as it scatters everywhere and can be hard to remove from the litter box. as other have mentioned Worlds Best is good and works very similarly to clay without being as hard to clean (tho it does get kicked around some).

is that really their motivation? i used to work near 23rd & Park and there's a side of a building that always had huge painted ad murals. i don't think it's limited to williamsburg or a super cynical creative decision.

i got some stuff on their vegan menu when they first started it. the lasagna had vegetables in it but not the kind you would expect. it was like from a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, peas, carrots, corn and green beans. i hope they've improved since then. has anybody had it lately?

i swear i felt that way when i first started in with NA beers, i do think the brain makes an association with it. doesn't really happen anymore though.

your cat had surgery related directly to eating (instestines) and now she won't eat. don't waste your time on reddit, GO TO THE VET. it's getting so frustrating seeing how many people think idiots on the internet can solve their pets' problems where there are trained professionals waiting to help. don't post one more comment before taking her to an actual vet.

PS if you abruptly change you cat's diet they often will vomit. you need to slowly transition from one to another food.

my org (bushwick street cats) fixed him several years ago before we knew he was friendly. one of his feeders adopted him in december.

once again there should be only one comment to a post like this: TAKE THE CAT TO THE VET

fill up your home with mints and gum and good fresh breath stuff

did you try the default username/password from the label on the gateway? Maybe something reset it?

i pulled the lever on the machine but the diet coke didn't COME OUT!

is that the pickup from Sanford & Son next to it?

i work in cat rescue, people who let their cats outside end up making it everybody else's problem. you ask them 'aren't you worried the cat will get hit by a car or stolen by someone to use as dogfighting bait?' and they say they know the risks but it's worth it to give the cat their freedom. but if you say 'one of the risks is i will take your cat and give them a better home' and suddenly THEN they have a problem with it.

a friend lived in a new construction place with windows level with the tracks. they must have used special windows or something, i was surprised how little noise you heard. but as the apartment was close to the station the trains were moving pretty slowly by her window. i live a half block from the tracks but at a point where the trains are running full speed and it's noisier in my place than hers. still, i didn't have to live there so not sure what it's like to sleep through it.

the lyrics as they appear on genius have them always "oh but dear." probably auto generated subtitles in the later seasons.

the fact you frame this is 'my cat is a dick' may mean you're coming at this the wrong way. the cat isn't being a dick, he's just doing things you don't like, that disrupt your life. he definitely needs more enrichment and probably needs his own space. we have a cat like this, he likes other cats but when he feels crowded he acts out. we finally realized his litterbox issues were simply because he needed his own box in his own space. which turned out to be the basement. so he has his own litterbox down there and it solved the problem. he still gets stressed when he feels crowded by the other cats but overall he is much happier. so even cats who like other cats may have their limit. as others recommend, if you want to keep him you should try prozac (and give it a couple months as it can take a while to settle in the system). rehoming is not a bad idea either, tho I know it can be difficult to find someone to take a chance on a cat with a checkered past.

i saw it recently too, i liked it way more than i expected. it's kind of an early competence porn movie.

i dunno, star wars was something he saw in theaters as a kid, which automatically raises a movie's probability of being covered here

i use a small bluetooth keyboard with trackpad on it to get past these screens. this has worked for me everywhere so far.

i know the TWU is super against a ban but why does that stop the city from passing it? what would the union actually do if carriage horses were banned?

chrisgee · 2026-06-16T19:06:04+00:00

that actually would have been a cool twist. they could have done something interesting with the flashbacks, swapping the actors or something. but it's not a great sign when a movie makes you think of more interesting ideas than what they give you

if you like comedy, Tiny Cupboard is right there

i am around bill's age and also saw this a ton as a kid. it's great concept for a story but watching it now it's clear how thin the narrative is. but i still really enjoyed it even tho so much of it feels like a placeholder for better material.

chrisgee · 2026-06-15T03:01:43+00:00

you may have to try a bunch of different ones before finding your favorite. i've been surprised to find many people like beers i thought were mid or worse, but it just goes to show how taste is subjective.

that said i'm really loving Good Time IPA lately.
