    How can I help this poor cat ?

    Disclaimer! This is not my cat and he is not a stray. He is my neighbors cat but he is in really bad shape. One day this long haired cat showed up on my porch. My neighbor told me he was theirs, but he was just an outdoor cat. He was super afraid of any people but whenever I went in my house, he would sit outside of my window and stare intently. One day I decided to befriend him, which took a lot of time and patience, and I came to find out he was in a really bad condition. He has lots of ticks on his face, he has matted poop and fur all over his backside, and he’s very skinny. I told my neighbor about the ticks and she didn’t do anything so I took them off myself, but I don’t know what to do about this matted hair. He seems like he’s really in pain whenever someone does touches it. He won’t let me come near it with scissors and I don’t want to hurt him. I’ve never owned cats before. I never even really considered myself a cat person, but I love this little guy and I want to help him. I’ve been taking off the ticks and feeding him, but how can I help this matted fur. I feel like taking him to a groomer but I feel like that’s overstepping as he’s not my cat.

  • Can anyone tell me the name of this movie?

    I watched this movie a while ago really late at night and here’s what I remember about it.

    It was a disaster movie 

    The main characters were a group of teenagers

    There was one scene where the teenagers were in a car about to fall off a cliff

    There was a number of different disasters happening at the same time 

    One of which was an earthquake 

    Another was a tornado 

    At one point there were wolves or something involved

    There was a helicopter��

    The movie was really corny and kinda cliche. I can’t imagine it being rated well.

  • Stray cat questions ?

    There’s this cat in my neighborhood. He’s not really a stray. My neighbors own him, but he’s too afraid to go into their house. Not exactly sure why because he loves people. He ends up wandering the neighborhood and ended up spending a lot of time on my porch. I started giving him water during the summer because of the heat, and I also started to let him in my house because I was worried about his health in the extreme weather. I’m allergic to cats so I usually put him out after a while, but now it’s November and starting to get really cold out, so I decided to let him stay in my basement tonight. I’ve never owned a cat before. I don’t have a litter box. Will he pee/poo on my carpet? If so, how do I keep this from happening without kicking him out? If he poops on the floor my parents will be very mad. Can cats hold it for a long time?

  • How should I back out of going to homecoming with someone after staying yes?

    Last year this guy asked me to hoco and I said no cause I barely knew him and I just wanted to go with my best friends and have a good time. He also asked me on a date and I said no cause I didn’t really want to date anyone at the time. They whole year I regretted it cause people would always say “oh he such a nice guy...” So this year he asked me again (under intense pressure from a friend who really wants to set us up) and I said yes. Now I’m starting to kind of want to reconsider. Here’s why.

    1. I barely know the guy. After I rejected him last year we literally didn’t talk until he asked me again this year. I know nothing abt him besides the things that my pushy friend told me in efforts to set us up. I’m worried it’ll be awkward all night and we’ll have nothing to talk about.

    2. He asked me over Instagram dm straight up like “will you go to homecoming with me?” Not to be bratty but come on, that’s kinda lame

    3. I told him I wanted to wear a yellow dress and he was like “nah don’t wear yellow cause I don’t wanna wear a yellow tie” wtf...I do what I want

    4. He asked if I bought my ticket yet and when I said no not yet he said “well you need to hurry up and take care of that before it’s too late”

    I know it must be really hard to put yourself out there and ask someone to be your date, but I just want to have fun this year. It’s only been a day and I’m already overthinking this. Should I back out, and if so how do I politely do it without hurting any feelings?

  • Can a traumatized kitten learn to trust humans again?

    My neighbors have two cats that they don’t really pay much attention to. They spend all day and night outside roaming the woods surrounding our neighborhood. When the cats aren’t exploring, they’re hanging out on my porch. Because of that I’ve formed sort of a friendship with one of them. I give it rubs and cuddles and fresh water, and it gives me unlimited kitty cuteness. The other one though is really shy and scared. He naps on my porch and drinks the water, but it always seems sad and afraid when humans are around. I asked my neighbor about him and she said as a kitten he was abandoned in a gutter and never got over the trauma. I want this cat to have a good quality of life, and I want it to be happy. Is there a way I can help him trust humans again? Or is it too late because of his sad early life?

  • Ever since I started taking an antidepressant/anitanxiety pill, I feel worse?

    I’ve been struggling with OCD and anxiety for a long time. I hate it. I recently started trying to fix it and I got prescribed with a medicine called Zoloft. The psychiatrist said that the first few days of taking it my symptoms may feel worse, but it’s been a few weeks, and right now I feel worse than ever. Kinda like I wanna die. Idk what to do. Everything is getting to be too much. I need a break. From everything.

  • My cousin keeps saying she’s going to kill me. I can’t tell if she’s joking or not.?

    My cousin is kinda edgy. Every time she visits she makes really really weird jokes always about murder and stuff. It always creeps me out but I just brush it off cause it seems like she’s joking...I think. We sleep in the same room cause our house is small and every time she always very strongly insists that we turn all the lights off and close the doors. When I ask why, she never answers. And this time she took a pair of scissors and put them on the nightstand near her. I hid them, but later she was like “....you know what I find really cool....? Anything can be used as a weapon.” I still won’t turn out the light cause now I’m a very freaked out and she was literally just like “you know what fine. Don’t turn out the light. But tomorrow when the investigators come they will say that there were signs of struggle” she literally says it a voice like she’s trying not to laugh. I can’t tell if she’s trying to prank me but she does this EVERY TIME she visits.

  • Hp Laptop battery help?

    My laptop has always said “plugged in it charging” so I just leave it plugged in and I don’t have a problem. Usually tho I just take out the battery and quickly pop it back in and it starts to charge fine. Now even when I do that it won’t charge. Is there any way I can fix this? I’ve tried a lot and I’m thinking I just need a new battery but I don’t wanna spend the money lol so if anyone knows any methods then that’s awesome. Also do laptops usually come with a spare battery. I bought mine a couple years ago and I still have the box somewhere. Idk if there might be a spare battery in there but I don’t want to waste my time looking if there isn’t.

  • What should I get my parents for Christmas?

    My parents work really hard and I love them so much! Every year they get me a Christmas gift that I really appreciate and this year I wanted to get a gift for them, but I’ve never been really good with getting people gifts. I’m only a kid/teen and I help tutor and teach summer camps so I have only a little bit of money. Only enough to spend about 50 on each of them. My dad really likes music, especially jazz. If I were rich I would’ve gotten him that new Roli Blocks thing but I definitely can’t afford it. He likes to play the piano, saxophone, flute, marimba, basically any instrument he can find. He wants an alto flute but once again can’t afford that and I doubt I could get my mom and brothers to pitch in. What should I get him? My mom. Tbh she doesn’t really have that many interest. She’s been studying Spanish and wants to become fluent. She’s also wanted this designer purse for a while but I definitely couldn’t afford that. She likes fashion and to go shopping and she really wants to travel. What Can I get them?!?!? Please help me!!!!

  • What does all this mean in a dog?

    So my neighbor got this new dog and it's really weird...I think it may have been abused by it's previous owners and it kinda displays strange behavior. She's been asking me tips about it to be honest I don't really know what to do. What do these things mean and what could someone do to make the dog feel more comfortable. It always seems scared and I feel really bad for it. Firstly it never wags its tail. It just keeps it straight down even when it's sitting he's basically sitting on his tail. Secondly he hates other dogs. Me and my neighbor sit outside with the dog and when another dog comes by it starts growling and trying to run over to it. Third he won't run no matter what. I'm not sure how to explain it but some dogs do a slight "gallop" i guess. He just walks really fast. He also has two pretty deep holes in his mouth where some teeth used to be.

  • Does my peace lily's pot have to have holes?

    Ok so I have a really nice peace lily but the leaves started turning brownish yellow and I realized the soil had way too much water. I couldn't tell it was so moist also because the flower shop that I got it from had some type of decorative stringy stuff on the surface. I also saw that the pot didn't have any holes in the bottom and the soil was packed really really tight! So I need to repot it fast and loosen up the soil a lot. I have this really pretty glass pot but it doesn't have holes in the bottom. I read that the plants need good drainage but if I use a loose well drained soil can I use the normal "holeless" glass pot?
