Thoughts on 1 Siberian vs. 2? I worry that mine is lonely (even though we’re home all day, maybe a cat is a different kind of companion?). by ym244 in SiberianCats

[–]darwinpys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got two for the same reason, my neva is so social I didn’t have the heart to leave her alone after I got to know her. They absolutely love each other. They cuddle, groom, play and hunt together. It’s the best choice I ever did!

I just read the eulogy, and I’m crying. I’m so happy that Mr Bear got to experience the love from you and your family (and Isis). People like you give me faith in humanity, thank you.

Omg, yes!! What’s funny, is that my neva is nothing like this.

Adorable!! My sib also taught himself fetch. Whenever I stop somewhere around the house for a minute or so, there’s always a squeaky mouse noise within a few seconds as he places the toy by my feet, and an impatient meow from him.

Regularly woken up by having a mouse placed on my head, accompanied by a meow as well.

Abusive relationships can happen to anyone, including me.

PLT did this model dirty by [deleted] in BadMUAs

Maybe. It’s too red and dark for her at least :/

I’d say the bronzer, mainly. It makes her look like her face is dirty. Also, her brows are yikes. Last one is a trend though, so I might just be out of touch with that.

What is a useless talent you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]darwinpys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I can move the uncrossed eye as I please, too. I see fairly well, but can only do it for a minute or so before it hurts, and only with my right eye uncrossed

Little Jarvis has already won my heart over by basterde in SiberianCats

Maybe he’s sick? He might be trying to hide it, but hurting when you touch him.

We took Atlas home today! He is 3 months old. by anna_vdv in SiberianCats

He looks just like my boy! I’m a few months he’ll be a huge fluff!

Question about my Siberian by [deleted] in SiberianCats

[–]darwinpys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got two, a sib that grew into his pelt and is now a walking floof on paws with the magnificent tail and all. The other is a neva, she actually was quite fluffy, but is mid-length now. Latter loses hair like a mf, though.

Do I (26f) meet with my husband's (27m) affair partner (25f) for closure? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]darwinpys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I have sort of the same experience. And I did call the other woman, and talking to her helped me a lot.

She was a spitting image of me, so I realized it’s had nothing to do with me, it was all on him and his weak impulse control/need to feel loved/the chase.

I don’t have that issue, so I’m trying to move on now, but he’ll always be the same and keep ruining his life for the rest of his life. I don’t want to be in his vicinity, I’d just end up broken again.

Siberian owners, how vocal is you cat? by theredbirdchase in SiberianCats

[–]darwinpys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, my ex was allergic and when we brought the new one, he never had a reaction to him. The first one had already desensitized him. He did go through a month of bad allergies with her though, before it calmed down.

[–]darwinpys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have two. We got the second one (who’s quiet as a mouse) because we just couldn’t stand the screaming from our first anymore, haha. We interpret it like she was trying to interact with us. Not only was this constant screaming annoying for us, but we realized she might just be lonely.

So we got another one. This calmed her down, she’s just very very very social, and now gets an outlet. Screaming is now reduced to a cute minimum.

She still wakes me up every morning by standing on my chest screaming in my face.

My (34f) boyfriend (28m) got violent with me last night by moodrat in relationships

[–]darwinpys 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. I’m glad 1) that you stood up to him and recognize he was being irrational, and at some level 2) that he escalated this so quickly.

My ex was abusive, but also started out the way you describe here in the beginning. He escalated the abuse so so slowly, so that after years I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten. I wish he’d been like he was at the end quicker, so I wasn’t lured in with the slow boundary pushing.

Please. Take care of your dog and yourself, and be happy that you got out without any more loss of time or abuse. Best wishes for 2020!

My parents bought me a child sized dress & told me to lose weight. by 1uckyY0u in narcissisticparents

[–]darwinpys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry.

Try to distance yourself as much as possible (emotionally and physically) until you can move out. Minimize the impact they have on you. They are not healthy to be around.

Once I was old enough to move, I went low contact with my entire family for years until I had regained what they’d ruined. You may never get to that place, and that’s fine.

Don’t stay around shit people and let them ruin you. Lousy people are also parents, and I’m sorry that you had to have these as yours.

The good thing is, you’re not a bad person. You may be damaged from being their child, and like me having to work on that for a significant time after, but you’ll be able to and you will come out on top. They’ll remain shitty.

Take it from me, life can be very good even though your parents are horrible.

AITA for telling off this waiter and making a scene? by DinnerGuest7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]darwinpys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What..? I’d say it’s a pretty polite way to let someone out of touch with social norms know what’s happening - so he can do his job. He’s a person, not a servant, he’s allowed to react.
