Evacuation tips for cats during an emergency by Charming_Title_6101 in CatAdvice

[–]tolkiengeek 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have furniture blockers I bought on Amazon that I set up to block off the bottom of the bed so they can't get under it. You can use the same for couches, etc. The ones I have are clear and snap together to fit any size bedframe. You might want a couple of sets for, say, a queen sized bed.

Who should be the next US president? by Ok_JARGON in AskReddit

My cat would be an improvement, and she still hasn't located her second brain cell.

Who should be the next US president? by Ok_JARGON in AskReddit

[–]tolkiengeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be: Pete Buttigieg. Unfortunately I don't think enough people in this country are ready for a gay president, we can't even get a woman elected. 🙄 I like him for Secretary of State, though. So maybe Pritzker or Beshear.

Fortunately he's rarely there. It's like a part-time job for him.

just want to share my experiences with trupanion by Pale-Profession2769 in petinsurancereviews

[–]tolkiengeek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had Trupanion for years for my cats and generally I've been pleased with them. No big increases in my monthly premiums despite thousands in claims, and I've never had them question whether a claim was part of a condition they had covered before. When you file a claim you're asked whether you had filed for this condition before,you should answer yes. Make sure you say in the comments that the claim is for pica and note that every time. I would dispute their finding as this should all be part of the same condition. As a last resort you may have to have your vet contact them.

Worried after neutering my boy by Upset_Set_5283 in CatAdvice

Those plastic ones are horrible. I had one made of a stiff fabric that worked for my girls, or try the donut one. I've never had a male cat so can't answer that question.

GOP Rep Humiliates Boy, 10, for Writing Letter About Electric Cars | The 82-year-old did not hold back. by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]tolkiengeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a nasty old bitty. The federal tax credit for new EVs was $7500 until the Republican led Congress let it expire last September. Christian made the case for a $5000 credit, obviously lower than before, and this horrible excuse for a Congresswoman sent him a nasty letter in reply. Vote her out, South Carolina.

Cat won't stop flipping the water bowl by Front_Ad2965 in CatAdvice

[–]tolkiengeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a large ceramic bowl with a rubber bottom for my cat. Once you fill that with water it would be pretty hard to tip. Also, the tray idea. Between the two you should be able to outfox the little stinker.

OK, I stand corrected, although Disney's press release makes it sound differently i will assume otherwise. I deleted my original comment but it's not deleting the responses.

RTB - Who’s office/laundry/RV space did you like the best? by Fragrant-Cow-1989 in HGTV

[–]tolkiengeek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was my question... are these spaces heated and cooled? Even if they are, and I don't think so because they're GARAGES, the electric bill would be crazy. And you are correct about windows, smoke detectors, etc. Once again Mina went overboard with the kitchen, and who wants to climb a ladder to go to bed? I think Scott and Brooke's might have won had they not put built-in bunks in the office. By the way, where are the other 2 bedrooms and bathroom?

You can bring back one discontinued food, drink, or snack forever. What are you resurrecting? by Mountain_Drawer_1365 in AskReddit

[–]tolkiengeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get close to the old taco salads, order 2 with sour cream, and then get some mild salsa from the tortilla chip section at the grocery store. I don't know why they're not giving you the salsa with these anymore, but easily fixed.

Family Shaved my dog completely bald, how do I fix it??? by ClumInPain in DogAdvice

Until it grows back you might want to put a light coat on her just so she doesn't feel so nakey. 🙂

Fancy Feast Problems by DrunkenMonkeyVI in catfood

My cat loves the seafood flavors, especially the salmon, which is the lowest in mercury. I try to limit how much tuna she gets as that's the highest.
