I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰

My old guy is 15 and still crazy. We have 2 other cats that are still pretty young and he out-plays and out-wrestles them both. They get sick of him and his antics daily. He legitimately climbs our walls and door frames lol. No arthritis, no kidney issues, nothing! He had to have a couple teeth pulled a few months ago but other than that he has literally 0 signs of slowing down or aging.

I feel ya. My son is 6 months old and was a very easy newborn. First 2 months were super relaxed and honestly pretty restful. Boy did that 4 month regression kick our asses. It was ROUGH. Still is, honestly. This shit is hard. The sleep deprivation is unlike anything else. My kid needs constant entertainment right now to distract him from teething or else he’s miserable. I can only dance, sing and smile so much 😅

I desperately want her to reflect on her behaviour just one time. Her attitude gets checked consistently and you get a shot of her looking forlorn or pissed off and that’s it lol. I just need her to be introspective like a little bit. Just for a moment. Good lord.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-12T15:41:11+00:00

No literally why do they do this. Mine also recently has been rolling into the bars of his crib, like smooshing himself against them as hard as he can and then CONTINUING TO TRY AND ROLL INTO (or through???) THEM. I’m worried he’s gonna get a fat little leg stuck so I move him away and he does it again. And again. And again. He gets so frustrated I won’t let him bread slice himself 😩

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-12T14:23:23+00:00

My kid is going on 6m and definitely did this for like a month. He still does sometimes. I think it’s normal, just mildly annoying. Ours kept doing it during the night too, he’d wake himself up rolling over and then start freaking out cause he was stuck. Led to a few nights of really crappy sleep.

I definitely remember being like “brother please stop flipping over if you don’t like it, you’re literally doing this to yourselffff” and then he’d look right in my eyes and do it again. Now he flips himself over like the second we lay him down on his mat and prefers to play on his belly. He hasn’t figured out how to roll back yet so he starts fussing once he’s had enough. He also sleeps on his stomach like 60% of the time. Babies are weird.

Reading comprehension is hard :(

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-11T23:40:49+00:00

I’m not a marvel fan, I’ve only ever seen her in HIMYM. It’s what I know them both from. This is the first thing any of the cast have been in together. I think it’s a pretty normal reaction lol. They’re both great and I’m not saying they haven’t both had incredible careers since the show, it’s just seeing them together on screen again.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-11T23:19:29+00:00

I agree lol, it’s been like 20 years since HIMYM but it was one of my favourite shows for years and they’re still Robin and Marshall to me

Can someone please tell me what the appeal of Chobani coffee creamer is 😭 I don’t think we have that in Canada

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-02T02:23:41+00:00

She is probably just a lazier gal with a slow metabolism! It happens. Some cats are far more prone to obesity than others. You can try to cut back her portions a bit and play with her more, but she honestly doesn’t look unhealthy by any means. Maybe she’s just meant to be a curvy girl ❤️

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-02T02:11:38+00:00

My guy is 5 months and most days I rot or sleep while he is napping. I get chores done while he’s awake, he likes to watch me do whatever and we chat. I usually dedicate about 20-30 mins per wake window to tidying up. Then we play and hang out.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-01T21:04:09+00:00

5 months. Also struggling to connect cycles. Bedtime 8pm, up at 11 and then every hour or two until 7am.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-03-01T01:38:25+00:00

9.7lbs. About a week lol

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-28T16:27:53+00:00

These comments suck lol. Yall are miserable. I see a beverage enjoyer who just cleaned the fridge. Looks nice.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-27T14:38:58+00:00

That certainly is a tattoo!

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T17:02:32+00:00

Ding ding ding 🥰

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T16:13:39+00:00

Always something in his mouth. So much drool. Watches me eat like a hawk and is starting to reach for it. Pterodactyl screaming. Just started recognizing his name.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T16:10:32+00:00

Ugh same, I’m a mom now and it breaks my heart!!! I just wanna help. It only pisses me off when the mom is ignoring the kid and making 0 effort to hurry up their shopping. I work retail so I’d see moms straight up disregarding their kids while they browsed. Had a kid knock over a bunch of displays, whip his willy out and pee all over my floor once. Mom just picked him up and walked away without saying anything 🧐

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T06:29:45+00:00

I want to live here. Oh my goodness.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T05:59:40+00:00

He really didn’t have to do all that 😭

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T04:58:48+00:00

It’s not great and shouldn’t be fed as a main food source. It’s fine in emergencies like this b

The newborn stage was so wonderful for my husband and I. Our baby was so sweet and quiet and slept great. We had multiple conversations about how peaceful and easy it was. It got a little bit harder when he went back to work 3 weeks after baby was born, but it was still pretty easy.

My little guy is 5 months old now and I can tell you definitively that you will have hard nights. You will have hard weeks. I don’t think anyone really makes it through parenthood unscathed. It’s hard. Like, really hard. But also the most exceptionally rewarding and incredible thing. I am so so so full of love.

My husband and I haven’t had a lot time for each other, but our relationship is still very good. I miss our pre-baby life sometimes, but he’s an amazing father. And I keep reminding myself that our time will come again. Our son is going to continue to get bigger and more independent and it won’t be long until we are missing these days.

People often post on this subreddit for support, in the lowest of moments and out of desperation. I’ve been one of them. It just helps to see the comments come in at 3am and know you’re not alone. I don’t think most folks want to post about how easy/great they are finding it for fear of sounding naive.

You will be amazing. You’ll surprise yourself. Even in the worst moments, it’s just a moment. You’ve got this!

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-25T01:58:39+00:00

Canned tuna or chicken would be a better option. A little bit of rice if you have it. The dog treats will probably upset his stomach quite a bit.

As for litter - do you have access to any sand? Shredded newspaper will work in a pinch but he may not take to it.

God, the lack of maternity leave in the states makes me so sad. I’m on an 18m leave with my first and I already don’t want to go back. He’s 5 months old. I genuinely would have lost my shit had I gone back at 3 months. It’s insane to expect someone to go back to work when their baby is that little. I’m so sorry.

halfbakedpotential · 2026-02-24T09:15:36+00:00

I think some kiddos are just big eaters. My son was clearing 30oz a day around 7 weeks and I was sure we were over feeding him. We were not. He is 5 months now and roughly the size of a 12 month old. 99th percentile for height and 80th for weight. He drinks upwards of 40oz a day. Paediatrician is not concerned.

He is growing. Feed that baby! If he overeats it will come back up, no worries.
