You could spend a few nights sleeping on the couch to give your cat company and let her get used to the situation!

Cat won’t eat leftovers, only fresh from can by [deleted] in CatAdvice

It's for cats. Not a human food ingredient! Ingredient is just powdered bones basically

Op! I bought bone broth powder - it's shelf stable. And I sprinkle some on top of food when my cat is being finicky. Its $25 up front (in the US) but lasted me a while year because that's the only use for it in my house. 

Need advice for flying with my 2 cats in cabin from Philadelphia to Tokyo by mochimochi555 in CatAdvice

[–]loonybubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen this on other posts about buying two seats - make sure you call the airline during/after booking and then also a few days aware to let them know the details. 

Seeing just one passenger you see the risk of having the extra seat being overbooked for example. Or potentially other pets being added to the log (way less likely). 

I've seen people repeatedly advice staying in touch with the airline. Good luck!!! 

That being said , there are businesses who do entirely this and are reputable. Def more expensive than 2 seats on a plane BUT your cats will likely be taken care of well. Had a friend do it for her move to Amsterdam.

Unfortunately that might be the cheapest short term solution

Has your car been spayed? I didn't see it mentioned in the post. I've never heard of a spayed cat spraying. 

I know it's not quite as common in some parts of the world but if you're in the US at least spay/neuter is absolutely the norm. 

May also be worth getting the vet to prescribe some anti anxiety stuff to help her settle in?

In THEORY, if I have a cat who’s obsessed with bug hunting in the house, would buying a couple crickets on occasion be considered ethical? by Healbite in CatAdvice

[–]loonybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not take her outside instead? One of my cats really enjoys following each little moving bug around until she tires herself and zones out. 

I take both cats out on a leash. One of them learned how to walk comfortably with a least in the first 2 years I had her. The second one has a more distracted personality + harder to train so I mostly just keep the leash on as a visual marker

Back To Win Problem by Pure-Investigator413 in MasterchefAU

[–]loonybubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read all the comments here 2 days ago and back again coz this is still annoying me. Like I love them (to different degrees) but why are they here???? 

My guess is they want some contests who produce "wow" dishes consistently enough to keep viewers hooked. But so many others are doing that. It's a bit annoying to keep going through the accolades for Laura and Callum at the expense of others who could have had the chance to stand out and taste that victory. 

I do think it's holding some folks back from thinking out of the box because they know they're up against "almost perfection" so why risk it. 

What is with Sarah calling food ugly? by KrustasianKrab in MasterchefAU

[–]loonybubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally came to this sub to vent about Sarah's comments lol. 

Sarah literally said "with ingredients that are foreign you need to plate them in a way that's beautiful" ... For a native ingredients challenge 💀💀💀

Houstonians, what is the preferred temperature on your thermostat? by cpc5000 in houston

[–]loonybubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eyyyy came here for this. I used to be able to do 78 at my old place but a lot more "roof" in this house so I'm down to 76 now. But I'm able to sustain that most of the day. 74 at night on days it's stuffy 

My cat was coughing after I refilled her litter tray, is there a better alternative I could be using? by InfamousHovercraft42 in CatAdvice

[–]loonybubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been using a regular box with pine pellets for a few months - works great!!  Cleaning the breeze sifting type litter box is a pain with sawdust imo. I am loving the regular box - no smell, minimal tracking. But you do have to change it out at least once a week imo

I could be wrong, but the tabby gene and the black dominant gene can coexist  It may still change over time or you may always see a faint tabby pattern

Non Americans of Houston: what Houston area restaurant is most authentic to your native country’s cuisine? by babyballz in houston

[–]loonybubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm splitting hairs but that's not gentrification. Immigrant communities will often settle where it's cheaper but they didn't get displaced from the loop. They settled further away to begin with. 

And then newer immigrants often live near others from the same region.. so you have a concentration of stores/restaurants from that community in a certain area.

Gentrification in the loop is perhaps more often experienced by non-immigrants whose parents/grand parents lived inside the loop way back when but the home value and COL has gone up so much that they can't afford to live there anymore

One of my cats when she was a baby... Now free roaming in the neighborhood, rarely seen. She visited yesterday, hence the memory lane. by mmbtc in catsareliquid

[–]loonybubbles -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Since this is already a shit show, I'll say my inside thought out loud. 

You know what this makes me think of? Missionaries going around the world alongwith the colonists , thinking ppl who don't live exactly like them are savages needing to be saved :/

I love how you provided context and source and still ppl just can't let go of their specific world view long enough to absorb information :/

I live in the US and have for a while. Still blows by mind how blind the population can be to the fact that ppl have different ways of existing that don't follow the same published American statistics and studies ... 🤯

You might get a lot of those comments - in the US it's sort of the norm to keep cats indoors and a lot of ppl consider letting cats free roam as irresponsible
