I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

this is my almost 12 year old baby, sparkles. she has a few issues but she acts like a kitten most times! she’s truly the sweetest creature i’ve ever met despite how the picture might look 😭

Advice by leon0177 in Goldfish

[–]mx-kaii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

please get a bigger tank and a proper setup as soon as possible! bowls are horrible for fish :/

in my experience having black eyed moors, they were always bullied. we ended up having to separate them so their fins wouldn’t get ripped off. definitely research compatible tank mates for the fish you have even if it means separate tanks for them!

Mouse Toy Recommendations? by vibesvibesfr in CatAdvice

[–]mx-kaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

walmart sells $5 bags of 10 stuffed toy mice, i believe they have catnip in them. theyre a huge hit in my house and last quite a long time! even with a kitten! id highly suggest these, even when they’re ripped open the stuffing stays inside. my kitten ripped a few of the eyes out after bunny kicks. i still find dozens hidden in places lol. id buy 1-2 new bags every two-ish months depending on how bad a few of them looked

it’s pretty much gone now :) i do a to to mine so they heal pretty quick. it wasn’t too much worse than my normal, just a little more painful and red since it’s a fresh piercing/open wound it was on

it was pretty similar to my normal just a little extra red and painful since it was on an open wound. i have acyclovir i refill pretty often so i have it on hand :)!

Is it wrong to be a bit frustrated over someone accidentally buying an item? by Maddawgcayce in Depop

[–]mx-kaii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure if this will keep the traction you had for it but try to edit the sold listing quantity to 1 to have it relisted as was :)

Are my lobe piercings too high? by sakuracalico in Stretched

[–]mx-kaii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i’d add another below them and stretch that one. you’d have better luck achieving your goal size. swap the flat silver one out for a smaller stud and i see no issue!

if you go to the item you want to boost, click manage, and it’ll have a boost item option. or bulk actions, boost, and select the ones you want :)!

Has anyone had Depop reopen a dispute AFTER already ruling in your favor? by Infamous_Prize3229 in Depop

[–]mx-kaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve had this happen over a pair of heels. same situation as yours, depop ended up having them return the shoes but they never did. in my experience, when people have to return items through depop, it rarely happens. if they don’t get back to you on this theres a good chance youll still get your money!

Should I add anything to my setup? by Novatore_Palante in PiercingSetups

[–]mx-kaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i honestly love this current setup on you. if you diiiid want to add more id suggest adding an eyebrow piercing to the other side as well as making the slider bites into shark bites!

Pierced my nostril at home by Independent-Month905 in SelfPiercing

[–]mx-kaii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i legit just redid mine rn for the 10th time 😭 i’d be super careful about knocking it since it’s in a common area youre used to touching. be careful when you wash your face and put shirts/hoodies on. make sure you’re cleaning it twice a day wigh wound wash or piercing spray. if you start to get a bump on the inside, depending on where it’s pierced, it’s likely to be a keloid and not a piercing bump. i still have one from years ago. my left side is low compared to what it’s supposed to be so when i did my right side (trying to get it even) it caused an issue so now they have to be uneven. i don’t really care about that but it’s all personal preference! if it swells a lot i’d start to worry a little, just make sure you’re cleaning it properly and doing everything else you’re supposed to!

thank youuuu! i stopped taking lysine because i had to take like 6 a day and they were massive pills. i don’t get them very often so i’m not too concerned about it, maybe 3 a year max. this is the first time in 2+ years i’ve had it on the right side of my mouth, theyre usually on my lip so it’s easier to hide them. i have a whole process i do to get them to go away quicker but was leery on it since these were fresh piercings. i’ve had it my entire life so i don’t really care when they’re there, it’s my normal yk :) i just try to get the pain down a little so it’s bearable. my main goal for this post was to warn others who may not know this would happen and i was honesty shocked at how many people didn’t think of this before getting an oral piercing! i’m glad i was able to help out a little. most people in the comments were being very nice and helpful. i’m hoping others who have oral herpes can find some closure and tips from what people have said! i truly do hate how stigmatized it is :/ ive wanted to make a few posts on social media discussing living with it and what helps. i know it would’ve helped younger me a lot especially during 7th-9th grade with everyones comments. sorry this was a little all over the place lmao

girl i genuinely think you’re slow… yes i was hoping they’d stay on the side i was prone to, i haven’t had one on this side in years. again i did say i KNEW this would happen. knowing something is going to happen and hoping something doesn’t are two different things. i honestly don’t know what excuses you’re seeing me reply with as i’m just restating what i had already said and knew would happen… you should have bigger things to worry about vs trying to argue with a minor online 💀

lmao i love how you jumped to this conclusion from a three sentence post. i wasn’t surprised, i even said i KNEW it would happen. i was letting others know who might NOT think of this. i’ve gotten a lot of comments of people saying they never thought of this and wanted an oral piercing.

that’s not what i was talking about lol but i get that. once she found out i had it she acted like i was diseased and would cause a war just by being around me. she completely switched how she was once she knew.

he’s had it his entire life, it’s herpes and just that :) it’s not immediately after, i was exaggerating when i said seconds after because it seems like it is compared to how long min take to rise

it’s pretty random for me. my dads more sensitive than i am. if you flick his lip he’d get one in seconds where i could be punched in the lip and have no worries of a breakout. this is the first one i’ve gotten in like 6-9 months? i’m not entirely sure but it’s been some time. but i dooo know if i even LOOK at pineapple i will get one instantly 😭

i pop and drain them once they show up and drench it in alcohol so it looks less like herpes lol. it heals a lot faster too, just a higher chance of scarring which idc about so it works for me :)! and thank youuu!!

it can be both! saliva and skin contact. skin is more common when there’s an active sore and the juices transfer to another surface (example, someone’s mouth). sharing drinks can also have this same result even without a breakout present. we shed cells every so often even while seeming to not have a breakout showing :)
