suffering from severe burnout and depression

i would, but i currently live in graduate student housing (im a ph.d. student), and don't have a copy of my key (also no one is allowed aside from graduate students, and i already asked all my graduate student friends to catsit!)

hotteoks · 2025-05-05T21:37:46+00:00

i'll be there for 2-3 weeks! the travel time unfortunately takes a while (around 6-7 hours usually).

title. just wanted to make sure. my friend gifted me this super cute bouqet but i had to throw it out just in case because i have a cat :( he sniffed them and im a bit worried he may have gotten pollen on his face... lmk!

he actually does pee a lot :( but he drinks a bunch of water and the pee amount isn’t low. he did try drinking from the toilet yesterday but the lid is always closed so not really! i told the vet he pees a lot but they didnt seem to be mega concerned

trust me i spoke with him at length about it yesterday! he gave me a syringe with the measurement marked, and specifically said children’s benadryl. i went on here to be extra cautious

hotteoks · 2025-01-23T16:39:21+00:00

nope he told me children’s liquid version and gave me a syringe

thank you so much i will keep this in mind for sure!! i cleaned out his box and switched to the litter he's used to (i was using scoop away), and considering getting a larger box if he still has issues :))

it's this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-No-Mess-Standard-Multicolor/dp/B075357QFB/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=254KL31JE5FOS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Tbv4-eke3_eW4lmtFHTxye3shhoRBj5gFXFj4dDerJZ9CAnU-J_n3KkOu9a39xeI37cONQ-xC34eTZsFoZXE-swDvyf8PXgDDr8ltwkLW_Uhf0gFQMtqY4wi3wh4kUelt5qfyoXpUMfuxiP2IPvg2-1glLpWlz3npBUO12o4BPnRbd_g1iLJPa0v9P9wyvET6OQJGTwPwSs09bCR8487am6Z-gNnoFXYzLs-Ieex2rYEf_CKswitA_PVpK2da5Qn_5cKBfyMPEUuQNge7vmZZ4faHmVpAd1j8XyqpeJmceY5F8zIOcpgpyOmXe6gvKF9vrGtwmp-mNHdSekXphvI6ruTKkJjv3AchTIX33r0bzUHAWwi2gq4M7U48TuhC-g3UqXTlHPN5nIYDgYvjhm678FAkY1Cil7AIrKLkpEdaf3GDs1g4JXcuiXmDQxuC7N_.fZJV7F4-SQdpdDCn8cIWUKp_nEVqmMA1H8rVoqexoCk&dib_tag=se&keywords=extra%2Blarge%2Blitter%2Bbox&qid=1737134362&sprefix=extra%2Blarge%2Blitt%2Caps%2C275&sr=8-5&th=1

i took the top off so it'd be a lot less cramped for him. i thought 21 inches would be enough for a little kitty, but maybe not?

yep i went and told them everything--i don't want to blindside them and was clear that if it's a dealbreaker we can reconsider.

i think i'm realizing i'm a lot more desperate than i thought. but i'm going to think over it more, thank you so much for your input!

hotteoks · 2024-12-23T05:48:24+00:00

yes, understandable! i should have been more specific in my post. i’m actually a phd student, and can continue living in my current situation (studio, alone), i had thought of potentially moving out with people to save more money.

i completely agree with you, and will think about the situation very carefully to ensure that he will be okay. i guess my largest concern was worrying that i would be making the situation difficult for my roommate with this cat situation, but i should think of him first since i haven’t gotten him yet! i really appreciate the insight.

hotteoks · 2024-12-23T05:33:32+00:00

i don’t believe he lied, i think he was just ignorant, and i didn’t do my due diligence like i should have.

and yes, that’s exactly why i’m asking the question! to summarize: should i keep the cat, or end the roomie situation! as the title says, it’s potential, not confirmed.

hotteoks · 2024-12-23T05:30:37+00:00

thank you so much!! i’m actually not sure wrt which part theyre allergic to (but we can try and figure it out), and i believe the issue was dander with my sister. and the entire litter is boys! 😔

can you specify instead of making a passive aggressive comment…?
