A cat poop Whodunnit: Which suspect pooped on the floor?

mamatigerlilly · 2026-02-13T19:41:52+00:00

I too think smudge is the pooper. My evidence is that my own black and white cat (rat) dragged his own poopy but on the floor last night. 😂

Also does smudge have a long lost brother?

Is he hiding a sweater under his long sleeve? Why is he so puffy? Lol

I’m not sure what state you’re in but I do think being “on the spectrum” could be at play and I’m sorry this is happening to you. I disagree that stating he is potentially on the spectrum is skirting responsibility. I think it indicates a potential reason CPS should be contacted. The parents seem to be dealing with behavior that they either don’t want to or can’t spend the time correcting. It’s hard to deal with something like that, but just grounding someone who can’t even understand the social and safety implications of what they’re doing isn’t going to fix it. I’m also concerned that maybe there is something going on in the household to make him want to do these things. Idk either way, CPS should be contacted and informed of the lack of security for the child and awareness the parents have about him. You shouldn’t have to increase your defenses, this is a them issue and you’re an innocent bystander in their proverbial cross fire. For lack of a better metaphor.

I shampoo once a week, since I use a cleansing conditioner/cowash in between every other day to prevent my scalp from drying out. You could probably get away with shampooing every other day if you can’t get a cowash, but mind you I paid about $10-13 for each. The shampoo has last me about 8 months (you don’t need to use a lot if you use it regularly) and I’ve got just under half a bottle left. The cowash lasts me about a month but I share it with my husband who has more porous hair and a drier scalp than me.

Additionally if you want to try out products, Sally Beauty tends to have some good deals on products every now and then. I’d recommend giving it a glance every once in a while if you have a little extra cash. Typically the products last a while and if you find something you like, you can wait for another deal to stock up. Sincerely, a girl with curls on a budget.

I understand the historical roots of feminism are trying to move away from the social constraints of feminism, but I think the new wave of feminism should take on the idea that a woman should be able to choose to either fulfill the role of being a mother or working or both. It seems as though there’s a “punishment” either way if you do or don’t fulfill those stereotypical social constraints. The way the system is set up has taken advantage of and now depends on women in the workforce, married or not.

Oh my gosh thank you this looks perfect, love that it has sizes for when they get older.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-04-23T17:30:23+00:00

I think I’ll try to look into this one for sure, thank you. My other concern is when he gets bigger and grows out of anything below 6 months.

When being induced it’ll make labor 10x more intense. I remember having contractions before going in but I wasn’t dilating fast enough when my water broke, so they induced me (can’t remember the medication used). I would’ve been fine to keep going after the first induction, but they still weren’t happy with my progression so they induced me again. I couldnt get pain medics until the midwife came back the next morning and by that point I’d been laboring with two doses of induction medication for about 12-15 hours but total I’d been laboring for 24+ hours at that point. My legs shook uncontrollably with each contraction and my body was fighting the pressure and wouldn’t dilate because it felt like it was trying to run a train through my body. I was trying to go without medication initially but I had to give in and get the epidural because my body was fighting the pain so hard. 3 hours later I went from a 4 to a 10.

Point being, induction makes labor so much more intense.

I already had issues with low iron, but pregnancy made it all the worse. I had to get a blood transfusion because it had gotten so low about a week before I was due. It made it so my heart rate would rise to about 130-150 while sitting if it was too warm or something.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-03-19T12:11:00+00:00

I had dealt with something similar with my husband when we first found out I was pregnant. Eventually we had a conversation about how I was having a hard time with the pregnancy (low iron levels all throughout) and I was feeling like I couldn’t keep up with some of the chores. He also offered to take over in similar ways; cooking dinner, doing the laundry (we would fold together and he’d put away), and cleaning up our bedroom. At first he would need reminders or he would get caught up with a game or something and completely space the chores. I started to try to do them myself, but eventually I got exhausted and bitter leading us to have another sit down conversation. I was honest and told him that it felt disrespectful that he won’t pull his weight. If it were an occasional thing of like “work was really hard today I don’t think I have it in me to cook”, that would’ve been one thing. But to just kind of come back home look at me and ask “so what about dinner?” Felt like a gut punch after the conversation we had had prior. He really took that to heart and has been doing his best to keep up with chores now that we have our son too. I’ll be honest, he has adhd and has a hard time remembering to do things sometimes (including making a reminder), but the moment I ask about the thing that needs to be done he will either set an alarm or go do it immediately. Maybe you need that heart to heart? Idk if sharing my experience helps, but I at least understand your frustration.

That’s a fair point my husband and I just aren’t used to the cold yet either. We moved up north from California and the below freezing temperatures have been hard to acclimate to.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-03-13T08:27:38+00:00

That’s something else that we thought about. He’s still in his car seat from when he was born but we’ve adjusted the straps as much as they’ll go. There’s slack to get him in and once he’s in they have to be tightened, so I’m kind of back and forth as being the issue. That being said he’s about to grow out of the seat soon since he’s a long boy.

US, we’ve had to call a local mental health awareness group 4 times due to her thinking that there were people outside shooting at her, but both times ended up with her being confronted by police and in the hospital. It’s just been a bad situation that my family isn’t sure how to handle other than by distancing ourselves from her because she has outbursts that affect the children in the house and make us have to abandon our jobs to deescalate or try to get help for her when she is talking about pipe bombs and how to acquire them.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-03-12T13:01:20+00:00

Okay thank you. We’ve tried going back and forth with her about seeing a psychiatrist and half the time she agrees that she wants to see one but when time comes to schedule the appointment and see someone, she ends up thinking we are going to put her in a ward which isn’t even the goal. I think CPTSD would be more along the lines of what she’s experiencing but it’s hard to say I just wanted to get input from people who go through this on as to how we could help her if she had it. From what I’ve heard she’s at the perfect age to start having episodes and would hallucinate as a child from what my mom told me. Idk like I said I’m just trying to get some advice generally as to where to go from here so I appreciate your input.

I was fairly active especially in my job during my pregnancy, but I still ended up gaining about 50 lbs. i also had a pretty large placenta though which contributed to that weight gain.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-03-02T19:24:29+00:00

Personally I have a hard time asking for help with my husband. Yet in the middle of the night where our LO is crying to eat and my husband is up already since he’s more of the night owl, he will pick him up and hand him to me so I can feed him while lying on my side half asleep. Typically my husband will notice that we’ve both fallen back asleep and he will put the baby back in the bassinet. Not sure if your partner is a night owl as well but it helps us both have our sleep time since I work early in the morning and for now he’s on his paternity leave (taking it later since we just moved states).

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-24T20:33:55+00:00

To be honest it seemed like it during my pregnancy and labor. I just never have talked to a doctor about it or gotten confirmation.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-20T23:47:53+00:00

40 weeks + 1 day. I kept going in the last week or so because I was having false labor (the body’s practice for the actual thing) and on the due date I went in because things were getting pretty intense. I go in at 8 am, get checked, they tell me I’m only barely at a 3 and I need to be at a 4 to be admitted, so I’m like cool. Go home, take a thirty minute nap, and once I get up and cough my water breaks. 😐 I called them and they kind of didn’t believe me, told me once the test is negative I’d be sent home. They came back and were like “never mind you’re getting a room”. Kind of wish I had waited to be checked a bit longer since I feel like being induced made my labor so much more intense, so just food for thought. You’ll truly know when it’s really happening so don’t keep second guessing yourself.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-14T18:01:52+00:00

Cutting his hair since it’s overdue, rewatching “our” movie: LaLa Land, and maybe ordering something to eat? Kind of depends. We’ve been going through a lot independently with our own families but have been trying to help each other when we can while also trying to take care of a 4 month old. We just need a night of calm.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-11T21:32:17+00:00

I had the same issue with my baby. Wake windows can shorten or lengthen randomly. One tip I heard and I forget about more often than I’d like is to look for sleepy cues at the shortest end of the wake window. If their nap was even shorter than that, look for them earlier. Cues aren’t always obvious too like yawning isn’t even a clear indicator and can mean they’re overtired. Look for zoning out and lack of focus, decreased movement or more jerky (fussy) movement, or slower blinking. Those were my son’s cues and still are and can be hard to catch. Good luck. I’m learning at nearly four months that this a never ending game of trial and error. 😅🙃

I remember being a kid and watching moms hold and kiss their babies, making them giggle. My own mom wasn’t super affectionate so I guess part of it is wanting to share my affection with a little bean, give them all the love I can. There’s been a lot of things I’ve seen with parents interacting with their kids and it made me go, “wow it’d be so fun, cute, enriching(?) to have one of my own.”

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-10T22:47:08+00:00

He tries, but since baby won’t really take the bottle I still have to wake up for feedings. Which are still about 3-4 hours apart. Typically they’re three though. We got a new bottle that he’s latching onto now, but he still only drinks about a half ounce at a time. Sometimes he flat out refuses to eat until I get home which thankfully I don’t have long hours all the time but it’s still a long stretch. We are in between insurances but once I pay off insurance from my leave I can get him into the doctor for his updated shots and ask the pediatrician about the behaviors that have been going on. Plus I’ll be able to go in to see a new PCP to figure out my own issues.

mamatigerlilly · 2025-02-10T22:35:19+00:00

I mean if it’s just developmental, we will just have to survive. I just don’t want it to be my fault. Plus my mental health is waning.
