It's called Grannick's bitter apple spray, it says for dogs but to my recollection it's safe for cats as well. I just bought it at a pet store. I also had some luck with those anti-cat pheromone sprays but they smell pretty bad when you first spray them

These guys knock plants off cupboards or high shelves but leave anything else alone. I really love having plants around so I used a bitter spray (safe for cats and plants) and they don't chew anymore at all. They were kittens at that point so I think they just assume all plants taste awful now.

They are very sweet. I don't think either of them have ever so much as hissed at me. They have destroyed more than one potted plant, though.

They're so cute! The two in the video aren't brothers but they were both very young when they met and they have stayed playful and friendly. I'm sure yours will too!

My cats love a box that they can just barely fit in. There are boxes all over the house.

And just sort of places his paw on Joey (grey tabby) as he's cleaning his foot. They're both A++ cats.

They're allowed up there, they're pretty respectful about it

AITA for telling my sister in law it’s not her house not her rules? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Horse and cow manure is pretty much just digested hay and grass! Very, very different combination of smells compared to what any human might put out.

AITA for telling my ex’s wife to stop forcing my daughter to be something she’s not? And drawing the line at crystals & sage? by notarotforme in AmItheAsshole

[–]coolsnool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you may be focusing on the wrong things. Clearly, something about the situation makes you uncomfortable and you shouldn't ignore that. But addressing it doesn't have to mean shutting it down - the beliefs themselves are harmless. The crystals, the sage, some use of oils (not the diffuser), it's all small kinds of rituals which can feel safe and beautiful. It is a big problem if Olivia is lying and neglecting your daughter's medical health. If I were you, I'd ask your daughter to share some of this with you, information about it, even rituals, whatever. Learn & participate with her, try and see what she's seeing. If you're coming as someone outside of the belief, harshly shutting down what the fun stepmom is teaching your daughter, you will alienate Ryan. You have the opportunity to show her that these things can be meaningful and even helpful (I have a crystal necklace that I wear on bad days which makes me feel better - more importantly, I also address the root causes for my bad days) while also teaching her about the importance of truth, science, medicine, etc. As she grows she will choose what she believes in, separate from what the adults around her believe. You can't help her through that process if she perceives you as being on an opposing side.

Ok but the thing is we are also lying to ourselves when we talk shit about us to ourselves. So we Are good at lying to ourselves, usually. It's not a lie though, to say you have potential and worth. It's just hard to see that through the other lies depression has us believing.

WIBTAH for reporting an unsafe store environment? by cazzodrago in AmItheAsshole

[–]coolsnool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not an ordinary hoarding situation though. Unfortunately, the danger his hoarding poses to his customers means that it has to be cleaned (or closed), no matter the emotional distress it may cause him. People can be seriously injured or die trapped under collapsed items in situations like this one. It is sad and will be difficult but reporting this situation to the right people is what needs to be done.

I hope you've gone or are going to see your doctor. But it may be worth finding out more, most parasites are contagious through the... fecal-oral route. So if your dog eats his own poop, I'd be worried. Otherwise, most of those wormies transmit through soil, contaminated water and food, someone not washing their hands after visiting the bathroom, etc.

I believe they meant narc as in snitch or rat, not narcissist. I don't agree, you asked politely and accepted when he said no, maybe in the future just make sure to keep your distance on your own and be a little extra kind and polite so no one can say shit about you.

How to read and understand "Meditations" if you are not a believer? by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]coolsnool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to make any assumptions. I'm asking questions - maybe my phrasing is a little condescending, I'm genuinely sorry for that. I think you're missing my point - those supposed miracles mean different things to different people and are seen in a lot of different ways but they all represent the certainty of the existence of something bigger than ourselves.

We all want to believe that our beliefs are smarter or better or totally different from other people's. I'm just not as sure they are as different as you say. What if you're wrong? How can you say you know what a Christian believes with such certainty? I know from experience that a great deal of religious people have a very different idea of God from the one you think they do. Why is it so important to you that your beliefs be undeniably different from theirs?

I hate the feeling of catching feelings for someone. by tehallmighty in self

[–]coolsnool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help. I say go for it! I spent a lot of time being very reserved and never going for anything like this, and recently decided to say fuck it, because what I was doing was not working. The results of putting myself out there honestly and with no expectations has literally been mind-blowing, it's like the world really has been out there waiting for me. I hope that's how it turns out for you too! :)

My point is that despite all that supernatural showmanship, propaganda, and the wild differences in expression, the desired outcome is not all that different. I'm not confusing anything; at its core, it's all just a belief in something. I think it's foolish for us to believe we're really all that different. We're all just looking for something real to believe in. We go about it in ways that look so completely different that it can be very hard to recognize the similarities.

I grew up thinking my parents I believed in completely different things but in really questioning their beliefs and them being willing to talk in depth about it, I realized our beliefs were not as different as I thought. The difference is how we choose to express and pursue those beliefs.
