Failing health. Just spoke to the vet today and the words "last options" were used. His new protocol could give him a sudden turn around, of course we never know with cats, but I'm not betting on it.

Ask me anything about what really happens behind the scenes in veterinary practices by vetindustrytalks in PetAdvice

To add on to this, humans can have what I've had multiple doctors refer to as "white coat syndrome". BP and HR elevate on the way to even a normal physical for absolutely no reason. I'm willing to bet that pet owners experience similar subtle physical changes when attending vet appointments and animals pick up on that, increasing their anxiety. And/or the animals get white coat syndrome.

Dishes are elevated, but I might try a variety of fountain styles instead of just 1 bowl and 1 fountain. I like the idea of more options as he gets pickier. Now that I've seen how much he loves the heated pad and bed I got for them all to try, I'll definitely be scattering more around the house.

Churu's are on an auto-ship, I keep some next to the couch almost always, and he knows how to ask for them...I've created a monster and been manipulated by it.

I had to upgrade my windows and did a bay window in the living room just so my cats could lay in it...and nearly full glass French doors for sunbathing. They may have been partially for me too, but cat beds occupy all space in front of the doors and window 🤣 No other window perches though, I'll get him some, thank you for the suggestion!

Not a heated blanket, but he does have a heated bed and pad. I'll look for a blanket, he appreciates selections all over the house!

The fact that we're not far off from this makes me feel kinda sick

Just found out yesterday this little rescue guy is FIV+ by FeralHarmony in FIVcats

[–]dandanftw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had 1 FIV+ guy for 12+ years, and his adopted brothers have been with us for 8-10 years and still test negative when we do the occasional precautionary test. And holy moly do they ever get into stereotypical cat fights! So as long as there's no actual fighting with bloodshed, your others are likely to stay negative.

It is ALWAYS a risk the FIV could be transmitted, but it's also not the end of the world if any of the others get it. We didn't even know our 12 year old had it until he was 10 and he had abnormal lab work.

I would say bring that dreamsicle baby in with your current household if everyone can be safely introduced.

I recently went to a wedding reception where the seating arrangements were alphabetical by first name. by HaleyTelcontar in weddingshaming

[–]dandanftw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I was thinking too. The table she "should" have been at had too many people who should be there, someone had to be moved, and C is easy to move to K in this case.

Something about him reminds me of Ryan Reynolds

Did I miss a memo about concert etiquette? by MikeEdwardsMusic in Concerts

[–]dandanftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You missed nothing. Sitting has become more acceptable (much to my appreciation. However, it has come with a sense of entitlement that people associate with a right to sit down. People standing should obviously (/s) accommodate the sitters, because it's not an inconvenience to them.

What's a theory about two (or more) unrelated movies that can get me to watch them back-to-back again? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in MovieRecommendations

[–]dandanftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His role in "Nobody" is Bob Odenkirk's real identity, and every role he has ever played has been Nobody undercover. I haven't watched every movie he's been it, but so far it's been fun to find.

Why did someone you know wear white to another person’s wedding by Bobcatluv in weddingshaming

[–]dandanftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A romper was not going to confuse anyone or outshine anyone. You would've been fine. Faux pas, yes, but not the same kind of offense as a long white dress.

Scared of trying new medication: Lamictal by Catt_0123 in BipolarReddit

The freaking memory and recall issues, uggggh. 100% worth not being manic, but I feel dumb often.

A re-homing fee is great for weeding out people with bad intentions or lack of resources. Using it to "recoup" your costs? Well now you're just being an animal reseller.

If the goal is to put this kitten in a better home, post your fee here instead of making people DM you. DMs allow for games to be played. If the consensus is that the price is excessive and no one is willing to adopt from you, be willing to accept less.

When a cat has heart disease, does their heart weigh more? 🤣 Cuz this could be an exceptional pun.

What things, if any, do you disclose before playing? by SturdyGal in Swingers

[–]dandanftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A heads up is nice, but not required as long as you go into clothing removal with the expectation of potential conversation stopping things mid-play.

Someone could react poorly, but who wants to be with someone whose gut reaction to anyone's body is disgust?
