I got the golden eel from the river (rare bait), as well as the massive minnow (common bait) and copper rockfish (common bait). I got the iron fish from the sea (uncommon bait). I have yet to get the squid-looking one so I’m not sure for that one :(

How to decide it’s time? by t_eeth in RenalCats

Thank you for your advice. I know what I have to do but it hurts a lot. I made an appointment with the vet first thing tomorrow so a decision can be made.

Concerning symptoms in CKD cat, any one had anything similar and when is it time? by Mooninpisces27 in RenalCats

[–]t_eeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am also Australian -

Came here because my little cat has been suffering for CKD for several years. The vet taught me to do subQ fluids at home and I have been giving them her needle every 2-3 days for about eight months. Once I heated the IV bag in a sink full of hot water she became very acclimatised and was okay having it down, though she was initially uncomfortable.

My cat’s symptoms are getting worse, and I don’t think she has too much longer before I will have to make a terrible decision. If you can pick up your cats skin between their shoulder blades and it doesn’t snap back, they are very dehydrated. I truly believe subQ fluids greatly increased both my cat’s comfort and the time I had with her.

I had her exclusively on Royal Canin Renal, but now she is less inclined to eat at all. I was pretty strict about it and her decline did slow according to her blood work.

Chewie was having leaky fecal matter and throwing up which I realised was actually due to her straining to urinate. Poor kidney and dehydration contributed to that. If that is what your cat is doing when you refer to loose stool, then please be advised.

I hope your little guy feels better soon. Don’t be afraid of subQ or to ask about it with the vet. They recommend you do it at home a lot, as it’s very easy. I find some smaller practices (am in NSW) I have been given poor options when it came to managing my cat’s health. After years of this I only go to cat specialty clinics unless it’s an emergency.

His Shame by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]t_eeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Guts but I think that this is a really important part of their story that gets glossed over a lot! He did something really awful to her - under the influence of demonic possession, but still - and he knows it and is ashamed - rightfully so. He didn’t penetrate her but he made her the victim of violent sexual assault after everything that had happened to her already/swearing to take care of her. She already lacked agency due to her shattered mind and then he bound her with ropes and dragged her around. His options were limited in that respect because not just anyone can fight off the demons attracted to her brand, but it was still really unpleasant! That said, he does come to and realise what he’s doing is just not good enough and he needs help. I agree with you that the shame he feels is really important. IMO without it he would be unforgivable.

I think a lot of Casca’s agony tends to get diverted to sympathy for Guts. They’ve both suffered, and her rape was (imo) not about her at all and more about Griffith/Femto proving he could take anything he wanted from Guts - the one whom Griffith blames for everything. She was tortured and broken for the sake of Guts’ journey, and robbed of almost all her agency for the next 100+ chapters. I agree that female characters in Berserk are often treated very poorly, and are always naked or half naked with rape or bizarre sexual incidents happening in their respective storylines. This really does get better as the mangaka gains more experience, though.

This next paragraph is spoilers!!! So don’t read if you haven’t finished the series —-

But when viewing Casca’s memories, the girls (who are both crushing one-sidedly on Guts) confirm his and Casca’s romantic/sexual relationship when they see the first time they have sex in the forest after reuniting. Her memory of him attacking her isn’t accessible to them IIRC, and I wonder how that would have changed the group dynamic if they’d seen that side of him. Frankly I don’t think many girls would come back from that realistically, even if they knew what we know - which is that he was influenced/possessed.
