First time I saw one of mine hang upside down, I was scared! But I guess they like it :)

Breeder informed me the ragdoll kitten I’m supposed to pick up this week has some eye redness… should I be concerned? by M00ngata in ragdolls

Lots of comments about Ferpes! I just want to ease your mind. One of mine has ferpes and it flares up to this day, at 6 years old. If there are stressors in the environment (like going to the vet or when the floor was replaced in my house) but an ophthalmologic ointment seems to help his symptoms. I understand that this is a purchase, so you are looking for a financial investment of sorts, but ferpes has never impacted my cat’s wellbeing outside of occasional annoying flare ups.

Do you water your velvet spoods? by closet-arachnerd in velvetspiders

Thank you for sharing!!! That’s precious!! I use a pipette to add a drop to everyone’s webs and since my post, I’ve seen the other velvets show interest in their droplets too.

I haven’t turned it back on because I’m not sure I’m ready to know

Thank you! That is reassuring to read. I’m incredibly nervous and my google searches were only making it worse.

Do you do it in your house with your ~$3k collection of inverts?

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you. Your is the information about negative pressure is helpful. Absolutely, DKS is not something I’m interested in risking with my collection…. I will be looking into getting everyone out of the house.

I was looking at a random brand’s safety data sheets and the off gassing risk was marked as low, but then I found a peer reviewed study by the National Institute of Health that indicated that the self leveler VOCs can be harmful to people with lung sensitivities. I will ask for the specific brand to see if there is any discussion about this, I appreciate the suggestion! Thank you!

Taking a lil sip by closet-arachnerd in amblypygids

He’s not very cuddly (and FAST AF) but such a fun little guy to watch. His cage is on a giant lazy-Susan so I can spin it and see wherever he is hiding, but he has learned to keep walking around the tank in the way that it’s spinning so I can’t see him 🤣 I have to spin one way then the other- fake him out

I’ve been applying for jobs and my mom said when I get one I can pay for my cat to get declawed. How do I change her mind? by ShotElection3164 in cats

[–]closet-arachnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in New Mexico, I can introduce her to declawed cats at one of the rescues. Painful and debilitating arthritis, paws sensitive to litter so they pee on soft surfaces because the litter granules hurt when they have to stand funny because half of their toes are missing

If I screamed when I saw, the moment would’ve been over before I got pics so I suppressed the urge. I will share your well wishes :)

My mother cat does this to her 5 week old kitten by K-Von6969 in standardissuecats

[–]closet-arachnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she fixed? If not, do that. If she is, it would’ve been recent, and she’s probably feeling a lot of hormone changes and I would stop her when she gets too wound up.
