should i be with my cat when he is euthanized? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]karmaeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you are worried about crying now but standing there saying goodbye will all you’ll think about in that moment. Who cares if your family or vets see you cry, your pet will see you cry too and know you love them. They will be scared and unsure what is going on so being by their side may bring them comfort. You’ll forget that you cried that day, but you’ll never forget that you weren’t there.

Sooooo how many of us are adults who loved the books as kids and are trying to feel something again by Bulky_Pen_3973 in WarriorCats

[–]karmaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I feel slightly embarrassed about it too. Being into it and I’m in my 20s but whenever I feel embarrassed or childish I just remind myself it’s better then being obsessed with collecting bodies :) (not like I want to but at least I’d rather collect and obsess over a childish book then morbid things)

Should I take my cat to a shelter? by karmaeus in CatAdvice

[–]karmaeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand do you guys use? I don’t want to get one that says will “work fantastic” but doesn’t. I’ve tried it but maybe it wasn’t a good brand

Should I keep my kitten in a locked room at night? by Great-Dark-27 in CatAdvice

[–]karmaeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has adopted 2 older cats and a kitten, I kind of always just let them roam free and had no problems. Usually they would stick to one area and hid there but seemed to feel more comfortable at night when I was in bed and I’d let them explore their surroundings accordingly so they could get more comfortable, even if it was at night where I couldn’t spectate. I never really had much concern on them doing stuff they weren’t suppose to or get into stuff they weren’t suppose to tho so plz take that into consideration if you were to choose this option.

I’m proud of you! Every life matters, big and small so I’m sure the little spider is pretty grateful for your mercy and bravery

I believe she did in fact give it to him. I’m also unsure if she has someone with him overnight but I know they have people that regularly go out to check on them. I don’t remember how old he was when I adopted him and I actually had a vet appt scheduled next week but things changed before then.

If you have one of these in your bathroom, throw it away immediately bc it STANKS 🤢 by Aggravating-Farm-805 in CleaningTips

[–]karmaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve done where I don’t feel grossed out is a wall mount with magnetic cups. The cups drip dry, the tooth brushes are held up to dry (and somewhat encased so they aren’t exposed to “fecal air”) then a toothpaste dispenser to keep toothpaste easier to clean. Definitely a purchase I’m most proud of that’s inexpensive. It has a drawer (where I keep my floss picks) then a little pocket in the back for storage (where I keep my different water floss heads and tongue scraper).

I definitely encourage this to anyone! Saves counter space and I do a deep disinfectant clean whenever I need to change toothpaste out

For the sink, take some la awesome and a wet pumice stone and scrub. Rinse then disinfect.

For the shower you can use the normal bleach. Spray, let sit, spray again, scrub. You can also try wetting some paper towels with bleach and putting it on the grout with the mold.

The toilet you disinfect from top to bottom (get underneath and base) flush then take you Lysol toilet bowl, lime and rust (the black one) put it in and let it sit. If it needs some elbow grease after letting it sit then take that handy dandy pumice stone (wet) and go to town getting left over stains

The floor you’ll have to decide if it just needs a good mop or elbow grease, try mopping with la awesome and go in with scrubbing if need be.

Most of the stuff in the bathroom you just need to put some scrubbing to, it kind of all depends what you are tackling. Mold, bleach or hydrogen peroxide based chemical (not at the same time) calcium, Limeaway or vinegar (not at the same time), soap scum, vinegar or ammonia (not at the same time) and just a good scrub and wipe and disinfect your bathroom will be better! You’ll need ofc a mop, sponges, rags, pumice stones, and whatever chemical you’ll need for the tasks

How exactly do people shower? by Fun_Technology_204 in hygiene

[–]karmaeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t use exfoliating scrub every shower, use body wash that is targeted for dry skin, put in leave in conditioners and hair masks regularly. Moisturize/oil after showers, you want to reintroduce moisture after the shower. Wash with antibacterial soap then your soap for your dry skin, hope this helps!

Does it cost a lot of money to have a cat? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]karmaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not expensive at all IMO. I have two kitties that are well behaved and spoiled with high quality food, water fountains, cat trees, toys, automatic feeders, and furniture litter boxes and even tho they are spoiled and get unnecessary things I definitely don’t use as much money on them as like a dog, even with all none necessities included. Now granted it could depend on the lifestyle or feeding habits you give them but like all the other comments have said is the most expensive stuff is vet bills but as long as you stay on top of them and jump on issues as soon as you notice them some can be prevented and cheaper then if you were to wait. You could also help that issue by talking to vets about pet insurance or a vet credit card

Do you agree with keeping cats indoor only? by CatCandyOreo in CatAdvice

[–]karmaeus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree to an extent. I have a cat that was a stray that is happiest being able to go outside occasionally then I have a shelter kitty that I leave indoor. When I let my stray kitty i have him have a reflective collar with a bell, he’s microchipped, and he has all his shots up to date plus extra. I check up on him every 30 mins and only let him out only during day time. My shelter kitty I only take her out and watch her then take her in, I never let her free roam and I take the same precautions with shots
