Also pugs, or Scottish fold cats… and those are creatures we love and keep as pets, not even livestock, and we still do it

Yeah you really did not introduce them the right way. You should start over and do it properly, but first you should take him to the vet to get checked for contagious diseases that can be fatal to cats as you would not want to spread it to yours. They can also check for a microchip in case he is a lost pet.

After that, you need to set aside a room that is not important or favoured by your cat Anya, and designate that as his room. You should also give Anya a space where he is not allowed to go at all so she feels she has a safe space from the intruder. Here is some instructions how to do this properly, it may take weeks or longer for them both to be comfortable:

There are lots of similar instructions available. But you always start with them separate, then bring them something with the scent of the other one like a blanket (not pee or litterbox), then allow brief visual contact with a barrier, allow them to explore eachothers space when the other one is confined somewhere else, and then allow them to meet and interact while supervised, then allow them to interact unsupervised. Each stage can take anywhere from hours to weeks, but you cannot proceed to the next step until they are both completely comfortable. Cats are easily stressed at times and can stop eating or peeing and this can cause serious harm to their health or even be fatal.

I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).

I’m pretty sure you would go very crazy alone in a chair for 4 billion years

As others have said, you need to take your cat not peeing very very seriously, it can quickly become a several thousand dollar surgery or ICU stay, and it can even be fatal, if your cat is that stressed I think you need to temporarily remove the kitten at least and try again more gradually and with the advice others have given. But for now you need to take your cat to the vet asap.

Yeah, unfortunately in this case the foxes can just walk over from the mainland when the tide is low

Foxes are not native to that (uninhabited) island, nor are they native to Australia, which is where they crossed over to the island from. Foxes were brought to Australia in the 1870s by humans so we could hunt them recreationally, and now they are an invasive species. We can’t undo that mistake now.

It could also make a fun sound

Another question - you said things are going backwards. When do you feel that things were better, and what made that time practically better in terms of not objectifying people?

Is it? Or is it to allow people to indulge in and express sexuality outside of a relationship? I don’t think it has a singular purpose of objectifying people. If people take it that way I think it’s more indicative of a problem with their attitude that they may need help to reframe.

Do violent shows or horror movies make you feel human life is worth less because it shows people getting hurt or murdered?

I agree that doesn’t seem healthy. Misogyny is nothing new, though, and in your post you said people are reducing themselves to sexual objects but the example is people reducing others to sexual objects, which is not really the fault or necessarily the intention of the person being objectified

In what way do you see embracing sexuality as contradictory to being a whole human? Can you give examples?

I’m having the same issue with movies7

I’m okay, just mentally re-hashing my behaviour during a trip with work friends this past weekend. I tend to get pretty rambunctious in some situations and then feel bad or weird about it later… but what’s done is done hopefully I didn’t annoy anyone too badly

Are you very low on time? I see this happen to people who feel they just don’t have enough time to get everything done that they need to, and therefore any little delay causes a lot of stress. If you can offload some chores or reduce your activity load that may be some help. But there are other reasons for irritability as well.

Also a lot of typhoid and stomach flu type pathogens don’t spread butthole to butthole, they spread via the “fecal-oral” route so… that happens in situations like someone took too small a slice and touches your food (or receipt that you ate to prove they liked your gift) without washing their hands properly.

Feline hyperesthesia is probably what you’re referring to with her tail self-mutilation. Definitely odd there would be a random residual infectious tick in a new house lol, but stranger things have happened! Weird !

They weighed in months ago back when it was announced and said they were taking a wait and see approach, where if it did cause problems they would defederate, but didn’t want to preemptively do so. Many other instances did defederate already though.

What ended up being wrong with her?
