For the first half year, I had to escort my now-wife down my hallway with a broom or towel to fend of my cat who did not like sharing me.

And she had several cats of her own. When I warned her up front about my crazy cat, she was so cocky.

Sounds like a Bengal to me!

When modding the syringe, I find it easiest to remove the plunger, and using a drill bit from the inside that is slightly smaller than this inside diameter of the syringe. 1/32" leaves enough of a lip to still stop the plunger in my experience, but YMMV depending on the plunger style.

We had a 5ml syringe with a fully plastic plunger (no rubber) that was amazing. Eventually lost it and haven’t been able to find a replacement yet, but rubber tipped plunger are fine too, just wear out faster.

Looks like a Bengal. I’m surprised he wasn’t snapped up.

BTW as an elder cat caretaker, if he stops eating hit meds willingly (which can easily happen if his condition flares up), we have had amazing success with cutting the tip off a syringe, loading it with canned food and front loading the tip with their pills.

When cutting the tip, leave a tiny bit of material so the plunger still stops, but not so much that the pill gets jammed.

3/4 of our cats actually open their mouths willingly to be pilled because they only taste the food, the pill is swallowed without them noticing.

My poor late kitty could never fully retract her claws.

As a kitten, she’d catch a claw on the carpet, somersault, and scream until I freed her. This continued through adult hood, minus the screaming. She’d just flop on her side and tug until she freed herself.

She ended up with bad arthritis in her old age. I long expected she had some defect in her front claws, but she was an absolute disaster at the vets, so I never got a diagnosis.

Glad to help! Works way better than those pill poppers. One of our cats now refuses to eat on her own, and will harass us until we syringe her. Multiple cans a day with this method, and she loves it!

Don’t have any fish oil recommendations, but if you can find some in standard sized capsules, you can pill them without any scent.

We use a 5ml syringe with the front cut off, with a tiny amount remaining so the plunger doesn’t push through. We can fit full human sized capsules in there. Load wet food in, put pill after, loaded in the tip. Fires it down their throat and tastes like regular food.

Allergy meds can also help a ton. I’m mildly allergic. Congestion, itchy eyes and face. I had one cat, married into 5 more. I’m fine as long as I stay on top of my allergy meds.

Relax, comrade! Russia army is SO strong, your only worry is friendly fire! I’ve seen FROGS fight better than Ukrainian army. And they were DEAD!

Went to Kenya recently and got a taste of their winning recipe.

There was great resentment towards the UK in general. Colonizers.

But they still loved the church. The missionaries are who bring them relief and educate their kids.

They oddly don’t see them as good cop and bad cop, two arms of the same operation. And as we can see in other ex colonies, their faith will hold as the scars of colonization fade.

Talking to me about moral high ground when your entire philosophy is so far divorced from reality that there’s zero chance it comes true, so you can just go on bitching about how bad the government and corporations are without taking any responsibility. GTFO

I do have one question, though. If you think blue are just fascists too, what makes you think, despite pretty much every communist government ever in history, that your new communist utopia won’t also fall into your clearly very broad definition of fascism?

Jfc.

And there it is, folks. Another tankie

How is it much different than disposable batteries?

Not saying there aren’t better options. But seems like it’s a weird hill to die on

So besides kicking and screaming, what is your actual mechanism of achieving change? What does not voting or adding to the <5% of independent voters achieve?

Or will you continue to winge about how the democrats aren’t doing anything despite not actually having enough votes to do any of the things you’re demanding.

Edit - thought so. Not a single idea offered. You all sound exactly like the Occupy Wallstreet crowd that kicked and screamed as loudly as they could, but couldn’t offer a single plausible solution to fix the problem.

You want to complain that the status quo sucks without a plan on how to fix it.

Again, grow the fuck up.

The fascists need to be squashed. If we can give the Dems a super majority, they will have the tools to actually do something about it. Then they can break up into whatever new factions like progressives and moderates or whatever since it would be basically be inevitable after the fascists are pacified, and ranked choice voting would certainly be in the discussion.

Or you can continue to scream into the wind and accomplish nothing.

Anti idiot locks would be an emergency situation nightmare.

Everything worked as intended. The only person injured was the idiot, and no one else was at risk. They could have just as easily opened a door on the gate path thingy (no idea what the name is. Connecting the terminal gate to the plane) and yeeted themselves out that way, for the same effect.

And that’s not going to happen without a super majority.

Literally, your only chance to get the change you’re looking for is to vote Democrat across the board, get them a super majority, and hope (against odds) that they choose to pursue election reform.

The popular opinion on lemmy of not participating in the 2 party system is just shouting into the wind while simultaneously enabling the extreme right.

Grow the fuck up.

Also like to add that Ukraine was on a good trajectory and had zero reason to give up its independence. Strong tech industry, agriculture, etc.

The only way Russia was going to get it back was violently.

Yeah, that other 47% aren’t going to Trump campaign events

I mean, we could all see this behavior prior to this latest conflict. So many videos of IDF gleefully beating down / gassing / shoving guns in faces of clearly civilians on their own property, on religious sites, on public streets, etc.
