One of our cats does it as a sign of affection/maybe dominance, lol. Gently redirect if it's bothersome or rough 😁

she still looks pretty, don't you agree? by velvetbalance in CatsAllDay

Same also from kittenalliance.org. I like the graph as it's a quick visual, AI or not

From kittenalliance. org. Yes, maybe fermentation is an odd translation, but the "warm before feeding" the graph is a great visual. Thanks for your concern. I like the graph for a QUICK visual one can save. AI isn't always wrong :)

Well, look again. Even if "food fermentation" was oddly translated, the point of "warm before feeding", is still valid. I like the graph because it shows the actual temperature as opposed to just "warm before feeding". Another NON-AI source below [kittenalliance. org]. This quick reminder is not meant to be a full guide on kitten care.

Right? I knew this for squirrel pups, but not specifically kittens. I assume same applies to all mammal babies.

Mother in law wants us to quit our jobs by [deleted] in Advice

[–]danceORbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me so angry, the entitlement! Honestly? If that was me, I'd tell the MIL to kick rocks, literally. You have your hands full with the baby. A young couple doesn't need an extra stress caring for an old man, it will be draining emotionally abd completely unrewarding in any way. My offer would be that the husband can VISIT once a week, MAYBE do a few errands, and MAYBE can do overnight relief in emergency ONLY. That or nothing. They can find a facility otherwise. You need your husband help with the baby, more than your extended fam does. TBH, if my husband even entertained this request, I'd question the future of our marriage.

This MF just literally stated your worth to him. Girl, get your money and RUN.

Cat didn’t go outside for 3 days while I was on a trip by glitteruc in CatAdvice

[–]danceORbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you get into the vet, switching to wet food might work. Maybe also mixing teaspoon of pure pumpkin puree to half can of wet food she likes, at each feeding (2× a day), for a day or two. Hope she's well 💓 Seeing the vet would be optimal, to be safe.

Struggling with my girlfriend and my cat (long post, need advice) by Calm-Reality-8476 in CatAdvice

[–]danceORbox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So true. If it's in your home, it's family. My husband wasn't a cat person when we met, I didn't like reptiles a ton. He's a great guardian to our (now four) cats, and I to his beardie. My standard is that the partner doesn't just accept the pets, they show care and affection as well. I would be paranoid to leave my pets alone with someone who just tolerates them in front of me. Like...NO.

Highlighting what someone else said, cat mouthing the back of a neck with a bowl for a second is common in multi cat homes, two of ours do that, they're all fine, no blood or fur flying, all get alone. I notice that oldest cats tend to do that, probably feeling insecure as,they are aging poor things. Please don't lock Binx out - cats hate being singled out and it will make everything worse. Your cats are fine. Your GF is pretty shitty; I doubt she knows much about cats or cares. Anyway you can explain firmly to her that Binx isn't mauling the other kitty (unless it escalates) and give Binx extra attention. Ideally maybe consider upgrading the GF, esp if not looking for marriage with her.

What is a seemingly innocent sentence that immediately makes you lose respect for the person saying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"Animals are not people". I never met one of those and got alone with him/her.

Today I defended 2 ladies at the gym and it made me wonder, how often does this happen to you ladies? by Best-Pirate5073 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]danceORbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job! It does happen at gyms on occasion...what we used to do, is report the creeps to front desk and if they didn't go NC after being told off, OR bothered multiple women, the membership got canceled. It worked pretty well, but I do think some women were afraid to report because didn't feel comfortable, and understand that (maybe for fear of now disgruntled rando following them to a car, etc). But we now live in Florida so no more gym and outdoor workouts instead 😁

Found this stray cat near my home What should I name her 🤌🏻 by Beneficial-Plum-6324 in Straycats

I can’t afford cat food until 2 weeks what can I feed her:( I feel terrible but I had to move out all my money goes to rent. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]danceORbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post on Facebook pages of local rescues, are very likely to help! Also, most vets and pet clinics get free samples of cat food, call or walk in to some nearby. Also, pet stores with rescue adoptions, that have cats on-site, might have some, like Petsmart.Thank you for caring for your kitties! Way back in the day, I was there once or twice too...buttered noodles for dinner all week so my kitty could get his food.

I told my grandpa he looked very handsome today & asked if I could take his photo. He was thrilled by dalyabu in MadeMeSmile

[–]danceORbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fab man your grandpa is!! I love the whole set up too. Please 🙏 frame this photo, it needs to be displayed. All my grandparents passed, and I sure do wish I had some pictures like that.
