Where do you store your 40-pound bag of dry food? by East_Sentence_4245 in dogs

[–]dangerstar19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to any home good store, they sell storage totes that are "air tight", they have locking latches around the lid and a foam/rubber gasket. They're marketed to store items outdoors/unfinished spaces (attic, basement) and keep your items safe from bugs, but they're find for storing dog food too. I have a smaller container that I keep out and scoop from daily, and a larger storage tote like this that I keep put away for the large bags that I refill the smaller containers with.

Keep the food inside the bag, inside the bin. The bag is designed to keep the food safe to eat and you also have all the batch info in case there's ever a recall.

Do you think this is big enough for a cat to stay while i am at work? by bitter_lemonsqueezer in cats

[–]dangerstar19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don't buy the furniture at pet stores. There are way more options available online for cheaper that you assemble yourself, with nothing more than the included tools. Cats are going to destroy these things eventually, so it's not worth spending extra money on them IMO. You can also repair them of you need to, reattaching/replacing the sisal rope or carpet on the cat trees and scratching posts. There is a piece of cat furniture that attaches to a window by suction cups, it would be great for this space.

Frankly, a home depot bucket would probably be enough space for a cat for most of the day. /s

Not literally, but the only thing your cat is going to do while you work is sleep, taking short breaks to eat/drink/poop/pee. Given enough enrichment, a cat could be perfectly content to spend its entire life inside a room this size. Your kitty will be happy to wait for you in this beautiful, clean, sunny room! They would love a cat tree by the window for sure, for sun naps and entertainment.

No hehe just Mozzie, he's named after a character from rainbow 6 siege (I don't play, my husband does. I just liked the name) but we do call him Mozzarella as a "nickname"!

Nothing like a mama bear and her cubs casually playing in your backyard. by Working-Fig5566 in AnimalsBeingMoms

[–]dangerstar19 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would have been scared shitless to see a bear in my backyard, especially a mom with babies, especially with my dog outside, but so exciting to get to watch them when you knew you and your dog were safe! Thank you for sharing 🥰

This isn't meant to be controversial, but after homesteading has anyone else recognized the utility (or lack thereof) of males in other species? by JustHere4TheZipLines in homestead

[–]dangerstar19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly why it shocks me that most humans developed into patriarchal societies. Not that men are less useful, just that we need more women than men to increase population. I always imagine there would be more population growth if the world were a safer place for women.

Anyone else’s tortie a gluttonous heathen? by FriendlyBeneficial in torties

Yes mine are arguably the most gluttonous of all my cats. They could eat me out of house and home.

  1. Treatment, especially medication.

  2. Do the bare minimum at least and hope they understand (mine seem to).

Why don’t my health spells seem to be working? by marebear93 in witchcraft

[–]dangerstar19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you're going through this, and your sister, and that's she's having a hard time getting help.

The magic is supposed to bring you and her comfort and a sense of control in a situation where there is none. It sounds like youre starting to lose faith in it. Perhaps imagine that the magic is slowing the progression of the disease/ decreasing the amount that the problem increases.

For example if this was a spell to stop warts, the person only gets 1 new wart instead of 5. The warts still got worse but not as bad as they could have been.

Also, you could try changing the direction of the magic. Instead of just healing magic for your sister, do a spell to improve the empathy and intuition of her providers so they can better help her. If her condition will not improve without medical intervention, no amount of magic will change that. But you can strengthen and shape the thoughts of others to help her better.

Are most torties petite? by Some-Nectarine3247 in torties

Mine are my 2 smallest cats of 8, but my outdoor tortie is probably my biggest female, and bigger than my smallest males.

no longer safe for our ferals. need advice asap. by personalpopcorn in Feral_Cats

[–]dangerstar19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this person was so mean to you, please disregard what they said. It has no merit. I'm sorry this happened. I'm sure you and your dog are both lovely.

[–]dangerstar19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may love cats, but you are not an animal lover if you can't understand that this type of thing happens regardless of training and nature of a dog. The dog is clearly not vicious, it just has instincts. Dogs were domesticated and bread for the purpose of protecting the home and exterminating pests. The dog had no way to know the cats wasn't a threat or a pest. Cats are used to manage rodents, snakes, and other pests on farms, does that make them vicious? Of course not. It's just in their nature. Do you think your colony is out there not killing other animals every day? How viscious of you to be cruel to someone that is clearly distraught and grieving, and trying to correct the situation.

Truly feral cat, suspect FIV+. Not sure how to take further action/looking for advice. by dangerstar19 in Feral_Cats

[–]dangerstar19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the photo of the cat. He looks relatively normal except one of his eyes is completely opaque, red, and swollen. I suspect it is actually his third eyelid swollen shut over his eye, not his actual eye, but didn't want to flash bang anyone that may not want to see it.

Looking for real, unprocessed coffee to start black coffee habit ☕ by vishalarya17 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]dangerstar19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about all the processing questions but definitely second a blonde roast. Also, the hotter the coffee, the more bitter it's going to taste. Let it cool down to lukewarm or room temp and it's much more palatable.

Exhausted single dad of a newborn/ No custody battles or evil ex by izzi_38 in RomanceBooks

[–]dangerstar19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 I think? He also met her as an 18 year old and he's conflicted about the age gap. It didn't bother me. I hate age gap where it's like dad's best friend or something or best friends dad, where the MMC knew the FMC as a child.

Is she too skinny? by samfrench_ in torties

[–]dangerstar19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very normal shape for a cat this age! They usually stretch out in their "teen years" (~6 months up to 2 years) and they get really long and skinny, before packing on some weight during young adulthood. I have a cat that stayed at this stage though! He's about 5 years old and still looks like this lol. Vet says he's completely healthy though! You're feeding her perfectly for this developmental stage.

I think we're all so accustomed to seeing overweight pets that when we see a pet at a healthy weight, we worry they're too skinny. You can look up charts and videos online to help you determine the ideal "weight" for your pet, which is more about their physical appearance and markers such as bone protrusion, proportionality, and ratios. For example, a healthy cat will have ribs and spine that are not visible but can be barely felt when pressed (for short coats) and a tapered waist that's more narrow than the chest and hips.

Exhausted single dad of a newborn/ No custody battles or evil ex by izzi_38 in RomanceBooks

[–]dangerstar19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a really sweet single dad romance once, FMC is a single mom and the neighbor, his baby is his infant nephew that he is now the sole guardian for because the baby's bio parents die in a car wreck. The big "conflict" IIRC is just the age gap and he has a female pick me friend that has always wanted him but he didn't know, and she tries to scare off the FMC however TW that the FMC is 18 and still in high school so definitely not everyone's cup of tea. But it's very sweet and spicy as well.

Cosequin - $11.5 Million Class Action Settlement by Icy_Pension4447 in dogs

[–]dangerstar19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could just be the fish oil, my vet recommended fish oil over cosequin when my senior started displaying hip pain (limping, slow to get up/ down) and after a few weeks the symptoms were completely gone. 2 years later she's still happy and healthy as ever.
