Love this! What kind of toys do you suggest? I have lots of sticks with feathers and small mice or balls to chase, but at some point they get bored of everything.
I dunno, cats are so individual. One of mine loves this ball-in-circle toy so much, she’ll play with it for hours on and off. My other one wants ME to play, no matter what toy it is.
I think you have to just try different things and see what they like most. Maybe try a catnip stuffed toy?
I also find that they are just like humans and the things they like most are whatever is new. So I buy them like one new toy a couple times a year. It’s almost Christmas; I’ll get them a new toy as a gift haha
I woke up this morning three hours after my alarm (work started quite late so I was fine in that regard), with my phone sitting next to me (I keep it across the room). What’s more is I also had a salt shaker next to me, and a big pile of salt underneath me.
So apparently this happened:
My alarm went off
I got up, went across the room, and turned it off
Then I went to the kitchen and got a salt shaker
Then I shook that shaker over my bed for a long time. Or, I unscrewed the cap and poured the salt then screwed the cap back on. It was a lot of salt. Like a couple tablespoons at least
Some are integrated in smoke detectors. Down low is a myth based on many detectors using an outlet. CO is lighter than air but widely disperses in a room.
It's a natural instinct for them to chew at plants, so I agree with the cat grass suggestion s. If there's one particular cat that's the problem, ask the vet to check it's teeth at it's next checkup: sometimes they chew more plants when there's buildup or something wrong with their teeth.
Yes, and UberEats in particular is big mad about it. It brings me joy to tap “Deny” everytime it asks me to turn them back on.
The only notifications I get are texts/calls, and a couple smart-home things that are set to warn me about temps or when a light-timer turns on or off. Not even social media, especially not social media, get to interrupt my day.
Fun fact. Clocks used to have a limit at 2 hours (unsure if it’s still that way). If you snoozed for 2 hours after the original alarm, it stopped alarming altogether. Ask me how I know.
I don’t think that there is likely such a thing that would produce a direct response. If you wanted to not be noticed, why would you change your behavior based on what something else transmits?
Anyone who has had discontinuation syndrome knows the experience of “brain zaps” - basically feels like an electric shock toy going off inside your head somewhere behind your eyes/sinuses. Is it anything like that?
WTF I had those brain zaps a lot as a kid, I have described this to many doctors before and no one has ever given me any sort of explanation. And now I just see some random lemmy comment precisely describe them. I didn’t have them in association with discontinuing antidepressants just randomly got them as a kid.
Brain zaps are the worst thing ever. I had to go off of effexor because I’m bipolar and had my first manic episode while on it. I looked like a crazy person for a while. I mean, I am a crazy person, but you can’t tell that up front lol.
For real. I’m on that stuff and if I am just a few hours late taking it I get the zaps. Slightest head movement and ⚡ zzzZZAP ⚡. Missing a day and I’m unable or unwilling to move.
It was Effexor for me too, I was forced off it cold turkey and had been exhibiting signs of serotonin syndrome. 10 years later I still haven’t found anything that works long term to help keep the zaps away and they get debilitating sometimes.
Strange I also took effexor for a while, it was the worst drug I ever taken. I got brain zaps as a kid long before I ever took any antidepressants but eventually they stopped. I never knew they were associated with stopping antidepressants, I have never seen anyone describe them before other than this thread.
When I was taking effexor I would forget to take them and also eventually I just built up a tolerance to them, and when I didn’t have the drug in my system I got this sort of lagging feeling. Like my whole body would feel like it was lagging behind me, moving my hands or head or whatever felt weird. I kept getting those symptoms even when taking effexor and I also developed worse symptoms like psychosis and an inability to sleep(like didn’t sleep for over a week) so I eventually just stopped taking effexor cold turkey. I felt that lagging feeling for months after but it eventually went away. I refuse any psych meds now because of my experiences with effexor.
I went on a pretty hardcore low-carb diet once to combat some digestive issues, and it triggered brain fog and brain zaps in the first couple of weeks. Our body treats sugar like a drug, unsurprisingly.
Sorry, I bet this post doesn’t really belong here. Please help me find the right community. I am looking to discuss the bat-shitery of this scumbag / nut.
