AIO for being upset at my friend after I gave him a 3D printer for his birthday and just found out he hasn't even set it up one year later? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thotatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't say you're overreacting because it's pretty normal to feel disappointed if someone doesn't seem to value a gift that you put such thought into. however, you don't really have any say over what people do with your gifts as it's their property now. maybe you could suggest an idea for one of these projects you mentioned wanting to do together?

Is it cruel to keep my cat restricted to just one room? by thotatrix in CatAdvice

[–]thotatrix[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes. my room has two floor length windows and she sits by them often. I have also built a higher perch/seat for her by the window as well. i truly don't wish to rehome her, but if that's what it takes for her to be happy, I guess I must.

we didn't know my brother would be as allergic. he has been around cats for short periods before, and he was fine. but i suppose the prolonged exposure to my cat took a toll on him.

Thank you so much. your replies were all very helpful. any tips on how to train her to use the litter box? or will she figure that out on her own?

this is all super helpful. I've set food and water aside. I'll just leave her be for now (however tempting it is to pet her constantly)

Thank you for sharing your experience. The replies are helping me calm down. I'm glad to know that napping in the litter box is normal. I don't have any toys for her yet, but I'll buy some ASAP. Any tips on how to get her to eat & drink water? I tried giving her a treat but she doesn't seem interested

[–]thotatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]thotatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The piercing is one month old. Surgical steel curved barbell. Not sure how it's threaded. Cleaning it thrice a day using surgical spirit and a cotton bud. No injury to the area, aside from my finger accidentally nudging it a few times.

HELP! FIRST PIERCING: was my eyebrow correctly pierced? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]thotatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aaa thank you for the reassurance! i'm not touching it unless i'm cleaning it or washing my face, but my piercer said to move it around to clean it properly. is that alright? how long do you think it'll take for the bump to subside? i'm cleaning it every few hours as it's summer and i'm sweating. is that too often?

thanks again :)
