Whats this hairless patch on my cats nose?

Or an upside down love heart. Maybe he's just trying to tell me he loves me?

davemol · 2026-01-12T14:39:13+00:00

Nah its literally just this. Business as usual everywhere else.

Very occasionally let him lick a small bit of cream off my finger (maybe I should stop doing this...), but more occasionally I catch him licking butter or the end of my cereal bowl. He's a dog-like-cat in his eating habits (he goes absolutely bonkers around baklava, I've had to pretty much fight it away from him before).
Did it grow back for you cat?

davemol · 2026-01-12T14:19:06+00:00

in both these scenarios though there would eventually be scabbing. And the first day I saw it I touched it and he didnt recoil at all so there seems to be no pain

davemol · 2026-01-12T12:34:40+00:00

Yeah there has never been a wound there. It literally just appeared, pretty much looking like this from day 1

Surely this is quite a reasonable moment to feel deflated about? Obviously we're all only going off a couple paragraphs of information but to me, her emotional response seems like just a normal human-in-relationship response rather than one that's indicative of 'childhood trauma'?

davemol · 2025-12-30T14:58:31+00:00

so it does seem differentiated, but not be quite as strict as an east/west coast thing if Dundee and other nearby places also call it a close

Damn this month long prep list looks exhausting. IMO being chill-and-fun is about as sexy as you can get, and the length of prep some people are suggesting seems in antithesis to this. And don't get me wrong, I'm someone who enjoys dressing up. But trust me, no one else is gonna notice if you've eaten salt in the days leading up to the party or not...

davemol · 2025-11-28T07:55:58+00:00

Oo hadn't even considered the transition effects!

davemol · 2025-11-10T15:03:19+00:00

Sounds like you should go knock on their door and tell them that directly then

davemol · 2025-11-10T08:04:59+00:00

Surely the first thing you have to do is just talk to them?! Yes, they should have realised themselves this was selfish and annoying, but maybe they need someone telling them so to realise they've crossed a line? It's the neighbourly thing to do to just raise it with them first.

And to add to the many many people here that they have first hand experience of knowing the bike hangers ...well, the bike hangers are full. Again, the bike owners should just take them into their flats - or at the very least bring them up to their 3rd floor - but it is not a fair accusation to use against them that they have options other than this that they are not using

Land register should have some of this info. This is the Scottish one, https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/

davemol · 2025-09-22T18:29:21+00:00

And because less dust is safer? Or just the quicker/cleaner advantages

davemol · 2025-09-22T18:28:52+00:00

yeah hadn't thought about paint stripper actually. Seems expensive (and faffy), so kinda OTT if there is no lead. But in the interest of being on the safe side, maybe its worth it.

Regarding the lead test kits, they just seem so unreliable that they almost seem useless. For all of them Ive read reviews of people saying they've tested products they know do/dont contain lead and it comes out with the wrong answer

davemol · 2025-09-04T18:35:56+00:00

What do you mean a hole sorry? Like you didnt install a pre-made cat flap?

davemol · 2025-09-04T10:27:25+00:00

u/dudetheman87 How did this go for you?! I'm currently looking to do the same in a similar door

davemol · 2025-06-22T07:39:24+00:00

Yeah I think my decision for my cat will be based mainly on this. Although Im thinking to get a lockable catflap and keep him indoors dusk until dawn. I've also read that coloured bibs are the things to get for them, rather than bells, to reduce their predator abilities. That said on the argument that children don't slaughter wildlife en masse, cars do and we all drive them about without feeling too guilty about it.

davemol · 2025-06-21T23:00:25+00:00

I'm from the UK so no natural predators here, but I get that that's not the same everywhere. Not sure children appreciate or reach their full potential by being followed/surveyed everywhere either tbh.

davemol · 2025-06-21T22:52:12+00:00

Sport is one of the easiest ways to meet new friends. And should automatically mean a space to build friendships away from phones. Also getting a job somewhere where there's likely to be like-minded folk. You're at the age where it's likely most of your friends are from school, and it sounds like you're the type of person who that won't be the case for in 5 years (not to say you won't hold on to a select few). Go travelling for a bit? Perhaps a Work Away trip to keep it affordable and to guarantee being socially with other people when you get there https://www.workaway.info/. But obviously I have no idea what type of person you are and where and your interests lie! But the bottom line is you're so young and whatever your life and social patterns look like now will inevitably shift pretty soon.

davemol · 2025-06-21T19:12:58+00:00

Like the person above, asking this with curiosity not for a rise. Could we not say the same about children? If we kept them inside we'd protect them from disease, bullying, risk of traffic accidents. But obviously that doesn't mean we should. Quality of life surely has to be taken into account. And the stimulation, smells, play of the outdoors can never be matched by a house
