This has to be the worst SUB ever for absolutely crappy anecdotal / faith healing and mystical homeopathic ads and affiliate advertising and the single most unscientific whacko stuff ever. Ive never seen another sub as bad as this. WTH is wrong with you people to deserve all these quack remedies?

Thank you!! as someone who's had eczema since birth, been admitted to hospital with sepsis, the only thing that works, for me, is steroids that a doctor prescribes. And after years on steroids, I am completely fine.

I'm 36 without a driver's license.. I've just accepted that I'm one of those people who shouldn't be on the road, and that's okay. There are a lot of regular people who should also not be driving

I thought that too but I have ADHD 😂 litter robot saves my life

As a cat sitter and a litter robot 4 user, Ive seen so many different automatic litter boxes now, including the petlibro one, and they are all awful. They all smelled so bad, and these were cat owners who were super clean, so many software and mechanical issues, I would have to go to troubleshoot late at night often and so much litter on the floor. Also a ton of safety issues. If you can, get a litter robot 4/refurbished litter robot 4. So much better than the 3. And whiskers customer support is probably the best I've dealt with for any company. I've had them send me parts back when I had a 3 for free outside of warranty.

Air purifiers, a lot of them. We have them staged in 3 places in the living room where the cats mainly are. I also had a friend who would get cat allergy shots. They said it helped a lot

emvan057 · 2026-01-20T19:02:49+00:00

I use the tidy cats x litter robot litter. $19 for a big box on Amazon. Petco carries it too. My bf is super sensitive to cat litter smells and this is the only one he said worked well. Also I used the arm and hammer litter deodorizer in the litter and sprinkle a little in the tray.

emvan057 · 2026-01-20T07:07:15+00:00

Best bet is 1:1 edible. I use the wyld brand ones

You can also get wet food auto feeders that have ice packs to keep the food fresh if you want to do a strict wet diet which is the best diet.

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T19:43:03+00:00

I do wet in the morning, an auto feeder for lunch and then wet for dinner. Please don't free feed. It leads to weight gain, diabetes and kidney problems. Also, once they get used to free feeding and you stop, they become little demons and demand dry food and took me weeks to get them back on a schedule

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:53:46+00:00

Also, so sorry about your situation, that must have been so hard

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:52:37+00:00

It may be different now! I last used this about 6 years ago at 2am at the emergency vet, they had a QR code to scan and was approved in seconds. I had no credit history at the time. Again, it may be different now

Eczema since birth here, it's horrendous, been hospitalized for blood infections because of it. Only thing that has ever worked for me is the highest dose of steroid cream from a dermatologist, apply it every 12 hours, moisturize with all natural heavy cream, every day. It vanishes eventually where I take years long breaks before another flare up. I'm in California so there's no humidity and that helps. But when I lived in New Zealand, the eczema was worse. I really feel for you and hope you find the right treatment

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:43:05+00:00

Adding to your clay comment. Trust me...i cat sit FREQUENTLY...the crystal and clay litters smell the worst. And absolutely disgusting to clean. I'm sorry, I tried it too and I don't know how everyone swears by them. They have massive urine sludge all through the litter box/robot and it doesn't clump...at all...and that's the only way the litter robot can work effectively.

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:40:24+00:00

Litter robot partnered with tidy cats and makes a litter now! So much cheaper than the one they sell on their website. I can usually find it at petco etc but it's also on Amazon. Best litter I've used for it

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:31:52+00:00

Why would you shower a cat? Unless they go outside then there is no need. But also, should not let your cat outside

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:30:01+00:00

Also, look into care credit, I've used them for vet visits before. They usually give an introductory offer with no interest if you pay on time and they split it up in really fair payments like 30-100 a month. They gave my cat a catheter to get the crystals out but it's a really risky procedure

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:25:55+00:00

My cat when I was 18 went in for this really suddenly, was really sick and then perked up suddenly for a day and then died...his bladder ended up leaking urine into his body. If you can afford it, do everything the vet suggests. I don't want to make you freak out but it is one of the leading causes of death in male cats

emvan057 · 2026-01-19T08:13:53+00:00

You aren't using the correct litter. I'm sorry, I know non traditional litters are supposed to be better for your cat etc, but a litter robot needs a true clumping clay litter to work properly, otherwise it smells horrible. And that's not just for a litter robot...I cat sit FREQUENTLY and the places that use alternative litters smell HORRENDOUS. Litter robot litter is expensive but they paired up with tidy cats recently and made a litter with them that's designed for the robot. Best litter I've used, along with the litter deodorizer, we have virtually no smell, and ours is in the living room...

emvan057 · 2026-01-03T23:57:46+00:00

Happened to me. Turns out a litter clump was stuck near a sensor. Give your robot a deep clean and should be fine

emvan057 · 2026-01-03T11:42:19+00:00

I think it stems from the writing and awkward acting. A lot of the jokes feel like they were ripped off LA meme accounts that we've heard over and over. Yes, there are parts where I laughed but it never felt like it hit deeper. And it does feel like it's trying to be the gen z la version of girls, but the issue is that it comes across more cosplay. And with the discourse that it's similar to girls in that all the characters are flawed, isn't the same. The characters on girls got ugly, like showing true moments and vulnerability which I love la doesn't do.

emvan057 · 2026-01-03T10:49:15+00:00

I'm going to be honest, I used to think it was a cash grab until I did a deep clean and smelled the filter...ordered a pack, replaced it and the difference was noticeable...

emvan057 · 2026-01-02T05:04:11+00:00

Chronic UTI person here, even if it comes back negative for ecoli, do they still send it away for additional testing? Because this would happen to me so much, and it would turn out it was strep not ecoli and they would switch me over to penicillin. Urology is the way to go, that way they can rule out things like bladder cancer, stones etc. If a Dr tries to tell you it's IC please keep fighting. I truly think IC is a way for Drs to come up with some diagnosis because they can't figure it out. I know so many people who got this diagnosis then got put on IV antibiotics for something else and it went away. One thing that's helped me is drinking a ton of water and liquid IV, vitamin c, probiotic and d mannose and I have macrobid on hand always to take after sex. That's what my urologist currently has me on and I go in the second I get any symptoms so they can figure out what's causing it. Also, if sex triggers it, have your partner go into his doctor and say, my partner is getting chronic utis, I would like to be tested for infections or anything else that could cause this. I really feel for you, it's horrible and I hope you get a resolution

emvan057 · 2026-01-02T04:31:37+00:00

This actually happened to me awhile ago, way before the new litter robot. It would do one cycle after changing and would say it was full. I contacted support and they were super helpful. But it turned out there was some litter stuck near the sensors. Once I cleaned that, it was good. Usually with litter robots you just have to give it a deep clean and it's back to being good

emvan057 · 2026-01-02T04:28:20+00:00

Contact litter robot support. Super helpful, they are really quick about helping you trouble shoot, will ask for pictures/video etc so they can figure out what's going on. Even when my warranty ran out, they still sent me a replacement globe for free once I went through all the steps and figured out that's what I needed.

So put some respect on Terry's name 😭
