Wisdom teeth.

Having buried a cat less than a week ago, the next one down (in age) is now starting to f*ck around with her food. I'm just so done with cats starving themselves on my watch Christ on a bike what does it take to get a cat to eat?!

One of our will only eat meat such as freshly cooked chicken, beef, turkey or lamb.
She may eat it the second day but she’d be doing you a favor.
Cat food doesn’t go down well at all.

I don't think there's a food we haven't tried. And she's f*cking with my head now. She looks to see if I'm watching her eating and if she sees me, she stops. Is it some kind of performance anxiety? I've gone mad, hiding around corners like a creep watching her eat

I know nothing about cats so not qualified to give advice. But would treating the cat like an attention seeking child and not offer alternatives and let the cat get on with eating when it's hungry.

For all I know it may just go on hunger strike but it might be worth a try.

Or perhaps it's missing the one who died and is distressed.

Not your fault anyway as you seem to go way beyond the call of duty for your cats.

Thanks WW. It's funny because I literally just said that to OH. I took up her uneaten food and she's getting nothing until tomorrow. I don't know if I'm just TAd with her or I genuinely think this could be a strategy but let's see how it goes

Not a good idea, cats who don't eat even for a relatively short time can quickly develop liver lipidosis which can be fatal. Antares, I think another trip to the vets for advice is in your cards...

She was literally at the vets five hours ago.

Sent an acquaintance I barely know a friend request on facebook and they haven't accepted it. ****ing bitch

Batteries in the TV remote gone dead and of course there is no buttons on the TV to change hdmi inputs, so I get up and put in some new batteries. Turn on the xbox and of course the battery in the xbox controller is dead so I've to get up again to get the spare battery. I hate batteries, they are either dead or about to go dead

I am sorry to know of your loss. I know nothing of owning cats, but could you try a broth if they drink ok?Maybe a chicken or even a bone broth?

Been trying that but it's the volume I'm worried about. She "tries" everything then it offends her very quickly and she looks at it with contempt. TA cats and their notions.

I sent someone I know very well a friend request over a year ago, and they haven't accepted it. And I know they've been on FB, because I've seen them comment on a mutual friend's post. I guess I should take the hint.

But my actual TA regarding FB friend requests is the random people you don't know, and who don't know any of your friends, that FB throws up as suggestions. Idly scrolling down my timeline with one thumb a couple of weeks ago, I accidently hit "Add Friend" for some random young traveller girl from Limerick. Luckily I spotted that I'd done it, and was able to recall the request immediately - hopefully before she got a notification. I don't particularly want to have to explain myself to any irate parents or boyfriends.

I hate Facebook lurkers, the ones who are friends with you but never interact with anything you post. I've an aunt who was FB friends with me and I noticed that she had stopped liking/ commenting on my posts. I left it about six months and didn't say anything. Then I figured one day sure if she isn't following me or whatever then she won't even notice if I unfriend her, and if she does notice that I unfriended her it means she is watching my profile but deliberately not interacting which to me is so bítchy I figured she'd be no loss anyway. So, I unfriended her... And immediately got a friend request from her... Which I've ignored

Could she be grieving the other cat?

I don't think so no. She's been diagnosed with an illness and only UCD can treat. Unfortunately takes two weeks for the radioactive isotope to arrive and I'm just panicking thinking about the wait. A cat can self inflict a lot of damage in two weeks.

TA the wind outside is so loud, I have to turn up the volume of the wind machine inside to block out the noise of the wind outside so it doesn't wake the baby. It just seems so stupid...

Man if I could delete my Facebook account right now I would. Having friends/family that rely on the platform to keep in contact with me prevents me from doing so.

I remember I deactivated my account once, about 7 or 8 years ago, and a cousin of mine freaked out because she thought I deleted her, then I had other family members asking me why I deactivated it. I was even asked if I was okay.

TA that Facebook/social media is seemingly like an addictive drug that everyone relies on to LIVE.

Another TA. I hate that my clock is tricking me into thinking I'm up waaaay too late when literally half an hour ago it was 12.57am. Damn daylight savings.

Vita nova

TA that we still have to put the clocks forward an hour. I just glanced at my PC clock and was wondering where did the last hour go until I realised that the clocks had gone forward.

I was hoping that the bi-annual clock changes would be gone by now considering the European Parliament supported scrapping them a few years ago.




Edit: I see Gamer Bhoy 89 just got in before me on this particular TA.

NewbridgeIR

Our cat didn’t have the decency to respect the hour moving forward - she was at the foot of the bed at 7.00am looking to go outside.

I allowed a hiking friend of mine access to my FB profile in order to share hiking photos. But he went through all my photos from years back, asking the names of my 3 sisters and where they lived etc. Hate that, its so invasive! I'd never dream of doing that :mad:

It might be grief, which I know is no comfort to you when she is not eating, is she an outdoor cat?
Could she be eating in someone else's house?

Is this for real? Did they hack you to see them, or had you them available in an almost public domain?
