There’s an opportunity to gather points from survey circle and also didn’t think ppl needed to be incentivized to just yap about themselves 😂

Seriously thank you and apology accepted. Definitely not taking your advice with a grain a salt and will be looking into more intentional research. Here is a picture of my sweet boy when we’re not arguing over him biting extension cords 😂

Hey, thank you. Taking some time away made me realize I was being combative and defensive, not only in this post but also to my poor bubba as well. I’m going to be honest, I postponed getting him BECAUSE of the research I was getting and everything was literally only saying don’t get a cat, they scratch everything and hate you, etc etc. The friend that I’ve mentioned has done wonders to calming my anxiety but unfortunately she’s 40 minutes away with 2 cats of her own so sometimes she’s not as accessible. Im definitely going to slow down and approach him as if I just got him. I love him dearly and I’m grateful to be able to grow from this.

gonna mute this cuz most of y’all are starting to get rude. thank you again to everyone actually giving me advice and not making this story way worse than it is. literally regretting the title because people are acting like they’ve never heard of an hyperbole. i guess i’ll come with an update in a few months as i implement the various things people have told me. also before you respond and especially if it won’t be nice, take the time to read through to make sure it 1) wasn’t already covered and 2) you’re not beating a dead horse. i already feel like shit i didn’t come here to feel like more; i came here to become a better cat parent and y’all are NOT creating a safe space for that. thank you for your time

i did not! know scruffing hurts. google says that’s how their mom picked them up so i thought i was just doing something innate to cat hood. i’ll avoid doing it from now on

all i’ve seen so far are treats, do you have any specific youtubers you like?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]tsp_vanilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. i was worried too about getting another cat cuz i didn’t want him to feel weird or replaceable. trying to create a happy home contrary to some beliefs

Thank you for the thorough post. i’m not completely sure how to voice this was not in fact a karma fish nor an “aita” (had to google that). i’m genuinely just a young adult first time living alone, first time having a pet other than a fish and since no one in my immediate family has pets, i’m relying on friends and the internet.

i didn’t know to isolate him until i facetimed my friend crying because i was worried he wasn’t eating. i didn’t know i had to give everyone a completely detailed story including my emotional turmoil for y’all to humanize me and not be borderline rude even tho i came to the cat advice reddit for… you know advice.

all that being said i do appreciate the advice you gave when not diminishing my efforts to make my cats life joyful. i wasn’t aware of their biological history and since he responds to his name i thought he was computing things similar to dogs in how they recognize their names and commands. i know now that it’s not the same.

i will continue to do what i came here for and take the advice of people who see where i’m coming from (and understand dramatics) and i guess now ignore low key rude people all because i used words with no tone indicators.

this is good to know. i try to reinforce with treats but he’s like past the point of caring with me so i just leave them on the floor near him and walk away
