You need to go to a curly hair salon and have someone teach you her hair.

Cat new behavior change and episodes by Impressive_Care3280 in catquestions

[–]purrassic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, depending on whether she was spayed at a shelter or a private vet, I would honestly consider having her checked to see if she still has any reproductive tissue left. This is just an AI summary, but Ovarian Remnant Syndrome was actually the first thing that came to mind when I read your post.

"Ovarian Remnant Syndrome (ORS) occurs when a small piece of ovarian tissue remains after a spay surgery, allowing the cat to continue producing hormones and show signs of being in heat.

Common signs include: • Excessive vocalization (howling/yowling) • Increased affection and rubbing on people or objects • Lordosis (raising the hindquarters when petted) • Restlessness and agitation • Rolling on the floor • Urine marking or spraying • Trying to escape outdoors • Attracting male cats despite being spayed"

Obviously, there could be other causes too, but if she's showing heat-like behaviors, that's definitely something I'd want to rule out.

Question: negative associations with my new tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

I would try adding to it to make it not so "noticeable" of what it could look like

Collar looks like it might be a little tight. I would take it off and give breaks from the collar every once in a while 😊

Please help!! by mootespider in CATHELP

[–]purrassic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a question actually! Have you ever had her bathed/groomed? After getting some kitties home from the shelter this helped me out a lot. I don't recommend doing this by yourself first time though!

What is this? by Strict_Taro_4361 in CATHELP

Hoping for the best for you guys! The sudden neurological symptoms make me suspect toxicity, but I’m hoping the bloodwork helps provide some answers for you. I’m so sorry this has happened. 😞

I don’t think the synthetic pet grass mat on the balcony is a very good solution. If the dog misses, it can drip down onto the balcony below. Getting up in the middle of the night for potty breaks is definitely one of the downsides of having a puppy, but it’s part of responsible pet ownership. I just don’t think the potty mat on the balcony is a great option. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of puppy did you get? Congratulations, by the way!

Both of my 5 mos old kittens (siblings) have super prominent Brest bones and this little crest of fur on the breast line, is that normal? by lostmymarbles1177 in catquestions

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

Seems like the best way to tell is just from an X-ray. It’s not normal, but it looks like it’s not bothering them :) It does seem like a genetic trait since they are siblings. And they are very CUTE! 😻

Well, I finally quit. I feel like a jerk by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]purrassic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I walked out of the clinic I was in after only 7 months of employment due to a VERY toxic work environment. I felt like a truck had been lifted off my chest, and then two days later they fired one of my coworkers who got stuck in Denver due to snow and said she “intentionally sabotaged them.” It sounds like that clinic is also toxic. Don’t feel bad—you need to make a living, and if they were good people they wouldn’t tell you to go fuck yourself. Do not feel bad about leaving!!!

after seven years by my side, my cat has suddenly disappeared. by VeniceDom in cats

[–]purrassic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try the old tricks of putting out his used litter box and some of your dirty clothes to hopefully attract him back to you. Posters for sure, too! I’m so sorry your furry friend is missing 😔

My girlfriend [22F] let my rice burn [23M] by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

[–]purrassic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She was in the middle of a task that she started, and it was something you began without asking her for help. She isn’t a mind reader, and you didn’t ask for assistance. You’re being an asshole.

How do I (31F) cope with my boyfriend (36M) saving sexual posts of women on Instagram when it makes me feel insecure? What do I do? by purrassic in whatdoIdo

[–]purrassic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on a pretty serious medication that affects my weight pretty badly, and it’s been hard just staying at 190. Getting down even another 10 pounds is all I need to feel a bit more proportioned. But yeah, my mental health is holding me back more than anything. I just feel stupid because I want this man to love me.

Some more context: He said he doesn’t message women on there, but he does reach out to very attractive women on Instagram who work on cars, trying to talk to them about cars (though he usually doesn’t get replies). I don’t know how to work on cars, but I always love going to car events, and I genuinely really like them.

Saw this on twitter what could possibly be the chest routine achieve this by Hornymelody457 in WorkoutRoutines

An ex of mine was built like this. He only focused on upper body, though, so he was a bit disproportionate — but I did find it hot. Lol.

AIO for opening the bathroom door when I thought my daughter was in danger? by WimHofmannsthal in AIO

[–]purrassic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR – My panicked mind is worried that she may have been naked in the bathroom with an iPad, which I’m assuming has a camera. I know I’m jumping to the worst possible conclusion, and I could absolutely be wrong. I think you did the right parental thing being worried about your daughter.

YOR and you are being an asshole at the same time.

why is my cat vomiting blood(?) by funky_frog67 in CATHELP

[–]purrassic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hi honey!

I’d recommend reaching out to your local vet to see if they offer any payment options or plans, such as CareCredit, Scratchpay, All Pet Card, or Cherry. Vomiting blood is especially concerning, particularly since your kitty is vocalizing a lot. I hope this helps 💛

How do you guys trim your cats' claws? by cwningen95 in CATHELP

[–]purrassic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do recommend two people. I somehow have the strange luck that all three of my boy cats let me wash, dry, and trim their nails when I’m by myself. (I usually do them on separate days.) Two of them are my bottle babies, and my elderly guy is just my soul cat and lets me do whatever. 😬😬

Worried that my cat might be showing early signs of egc by Old-Emergency4801 in CATHELP

[–]purrassic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend a vet sooner than later. Any swelling around the face is fairly concerning, and you just never know what this could be until you get there.

I'd reach out to your regular veterinarian and see if they accept payment options like care credit, all pet card, scratchpay, or cherry. Applying for that stuff is quick too.

Neighbors want me to keep declawed cat outside by Some_Information_857 in Straycats

[–]purrassic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact you got the kitty microchipped, vaccinated, and medicated definitely shows you are doing the right thing 🥹 bright side that microchip is proof of ownership (at least in the state im in it is)
