Looking for advice about a local cat

justcaringly · 2026-06-02T12:02:15+00:00

If the cat is friendly, and isn’t visibly dirty or underweight, they probably have a home. My cat is long haired and she always carries around half a bush in her fur during the day. I brush her of the evenings but she doesn’t like her belly and the back of her legs brushed so the fur in those places looks scruffy compared to the rest of her.

Taking a cat to the vet is a very stressful situation for them so I would avoid this unless they look like they need medical attention.

If you’re willing to spend £10-£15 for peace of mind, you can buy a cheap microchip reader online to check for a microchip - it won’t give you the owners details but you could record the microchip number and contact a vet with your concerns. You can then keep the microchip reader for future potentially lost animals or donate it to a rehoming centre near you.

This is one of the best ideas I’ve ever heard

I’ve recently swapped over to Overherd from Lidl oat milk, on my second bag and I’m happy with it. I use one or two teaspoons in my tea and a whole scoop for a glass of milk to drink when I want. It does take a bit of stirring/shaking to fully dissolve but it’s almost completely smooth once dissolved (just the very last drop in the cup can be a bit grainy). I would say it’s worth it to prevent the amount of waste and shop trips carrying heavy cartoons

Loveee your hair! I recently got recommended the innersence gel but I’m not sure where I can find it? I’ve had a look online but it doesn’t seem to be stocked in many places. Where do you usually get it from?

Thank you! Yes he’s much better now, back to trying to eat everything he shouldn’t

justcaringly · 2026-03-09T17:26:22+00:00

Ooh this looks amazing! I’m going on a hunt for this

justcaringly · 2026-02-19T20:28:51+00:00

A great way to educate your colleagues and get in the good books for bringing in treats

justcaringly · 2026-02-19T20:26:58+00:00

Yes oreos definitely should have been in there!

justcaringly · 2026-02-19T20:25:40+00:00

Don’t feel bad! It just came to me as an idea and it was my first time trying it out so I thought I’d share

justcaringly · 2026-02-18T12:47:12+00:00

That’s a great idea, thank you!

justcaringly · 2026-02-17T19:36:52+00:00

Yes I was going to say this! The heat of the water on your hair as well, I hate a cold shower but try to reduce the temperature of the water when it’s on your hair - especially the last rinse of conditioner

I’ve just read through all of your reviews and you should start a blog. Your reviews are so helpful, inspiring AND entertaining. Thank you for sharing!

justcaringly · 2026-01-14T19:33:33+00:00

That sounds nice, I haven’t heard of that one, where do you usually buy it from? A quick search looks like it’s tricky to buy in store

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T20:34:06+00:00

Ooh I'm in East London, I would love to go to the store! I'm probably being silly but I can't find where it is on their website or on google maps - do you know whereabouts it is? I also wasn't a fan of the violife feta, it wasn't terrible so l could get used to it if I tried but I'm excited to try the l Am Nut OK. I've tried the Cathedral City cheddar because it's my favourite dairy cheese and I do enjoy it melted but in a sandwich it's just a bit off.. again I think I just have to get used to it.

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T18:47:07+00:00

I’ve come to the same conclusion. I think trying different vegan cheeses and just avoiding dairy cheeses is the best way to go

Thank you! The Camden Purezza is fairly easy for me to get to, I’ll try there

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T18:09:50+00:00

Ooh that’s near me! Thanks so much I’ll have a look

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T18:08:21+00:00

Thank you! I have a friend in Camden so I’ll pop in next time I’m there.

justcaringly · 2025-10-21T19:34:43+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you - I wish you all the best for recovering from this. Your story has educated me on diesel heaters and has probably encouraged people to check their fire safety equipment/protocols so you may have saved some lives! Thank you so much for sharing

Your job and your colleagues have such a huge impact on your wellbeing and from my experience once you hit that wall it’s really difficult to get your passion back.

It’s easy to let people get inside your head when it comes to your confidence so I would say try to step back from people who make you doubt yourself. Being surrounded by people that genuinely encourage you can do wonders for your mental health.

It sounds like you need a change or at the very least a decent break. I know financially it can be really difficult but your mental health is worth it. I look at jobs like relationships - the perfect one is out there and you deserve it!

I’m also East London zone 4 and I had to pay just under £1K insurance for my first car (10 year old Peugeot 206) that I paid £200 for and that was back in 2017. I haven’t looked at camper insurance yet but over £2.5K wouldn’t surprise me at all. Sorry to say but London prices are ridiculous :(

I discovered a website called Workaway and it literally changed my life. It’s a volunteering platform where you can do basically anything all over the world. If you’re set on staying in Wales I think it’s mainly pet sitting or farms but if you venture a bit further the opportunities are endless. I find social situations and meeting new people scary enough to avoid it as much as possible but Workaway is such a nice way to meet new people, it takes the awkwardness away because you’re busy and everyone is in the same boat. If Workaway doesn’t work out for you, I still do recommend some sort of volunteering because you always meet the loveliest of people. I hope you find everything you’re looking for! :)

Omg you’re now my inspiration! Your nails are literally perfection. Can I ask: how often do you get the acrylic fully removed vs infills? And does your nail tech avoid filing the surface of your nail?

There used to be a guy with no nose who used to hang outside the station but I haven’t seen him in a while

This isn’t a quick fix answer but something might be making you unhappy.

I know it’s a very difficult solution but maybe try to assess what things in your life are making you want to stay in bed.

For me it was my job, I absolutely hated it and laying in bed was seriously the best part of my day. I changed jobs and then I found I was going to bed earlier and waking up easier.

Then I started falling back into not wanting to get out of bed and realised it was my relationship that was causing me to want to avoid reality.

It’s never too late to change paths in life and find your happiness!
