One night while I was painting he came out of nowhere & walked right onto my paint palette, getting yellow paint on his paw. & of course, he licked it. I immediately stopped him from licking his paw, & ran to wash the paint off. (It was Liquitex acrylic cadmium yellow paint which I just found out is considered quite toxic in some cases) Even after I wiped his paw clean, he still licked.

3 months later, it happened suddenly that he completely shut down (not eating, drinking water, urinating/defecating). We took him to the vet, and they said he had a urinary blockage and his kidneys were failing. They put a catheter in his urethra to release the urine, but he got blocked up again.

I really could not determine what the cause was. A number of factors could've played a role: he was 4 yrs old which is a common age for male cats to get blockages, the most of his diet was dry food, he was a bit overweight, he licked on soot from a fire, he was neutered, and the list goes on & on. I honestly think it was just a mix of factors, but I've been feeling guilty that it was because of my paint. I feel guilty for not painting in a closed-off setting, to where he couldn't get to it & I feel guilt for not getting him checked out sooner, & this fatality could've likely been avoided.

Thoughts? I need 2nd opinions, because we didn't get an autopsy & will never know what exactly caused that blockage.. if it was in fact my paint that led to his death, I will never get over that..

-Why do we suffer?

-How can we cope with life's anxieties?

-How can we make our family life happier?

-What happens to us when we die?

-Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?

-How can we be sure that God will fulfill his promises for the future?

About 2 days ago, I was sleeping and felt my ear stop up with earwax. I tried jugging my ear to loosen it up, hoping that it would go away and I could hear again. I went in the bathroom and desperate to get the wax out, I used a Q-tip (I know, dumb thing to do) and it pushed the wax further into my ear. Then I used a bobby pin (even worse) and pushed it pretty deep into my ear. I don't know if I punctured my eardrum or not. I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear for 2 days. This happened to me before 6 months ago, and it seems like it's becoming a pattern. I've used ear drops, a peroxide solution, a ball pump syringe and nothing is working. Thoughts?

2 days ago, I started having slight pain/discomfort in my head. The first time I felt it, it was like a weird sensation above/behind my eye. Then it seemed to spread to the other side of my head. Now I feel a bit of strain on the right side of my neck. It's not stiff like the typical aneurysm symptom, but it feels like it COULD stiffen at any time. The headache is slight but not insanely unbearable. Sometimes it comes and goes. Should I be concerned of a possible aneurysm rupture?

This Clear Fruit I drank was almost 2months past the expiration date. But it has NEVER been opened...the top was like vacuum sealed, so I know it hasn't. But without looking, I took a swig & it was completely flat! The sweet fruity flavor was completely gone! Then I looked in it & noticed some white substances floating around! It didn't look like mold, but some kind of harmful bacteria! And I dont know for sure if I swallowed some of it! Mind you, I only took one small sip. Am I gonna die? :(

I saw a very disturbing and graphic video of a Chinese woman who steps on and kills a kitten with her stilettos. It's been over a month since I've seen it, but it still bothers me just knowing that I witnessed an animal get tortured and killed in a horrific way. I have a pretty strong mind, and I tend to forget things eventually, but those awful images seem like they'll haunt me for a good long time. I don't even know why I watched it in the first place. I guess I thought I could handle it since I have a strong stomach, but I didn't think about the psychological effects. Curiosity got the best of me. Any suggestions on how to get over this without therapy cuz my mom would be pissed if she had to pay for counseling over a stupid video.

So there are 2 videos: one of a woman killing a kitten with her high heels and the 3 guys 1 hammer video. I saw the first one (sadly) but not the second (ooh God no!). Ppl were commenting that the kitten video was WORSE than 3 guys 1 hammer. Even though it is EXTREMELY disturbing and sad, I think 3 guys 1 hammer is worse because they brutally killed a man with cancer! I just couldn't believe ppl thought killing an animal was WORSE than killing a human being. In most cases, animal life shouldn't be held in higher regard than human life. What do you guys think is worse?

Ok so recently, I stumbled upon a VERY disturbing & graphic video of an Asian woman who stepped on and gruesomely killed a kitten with her high heels. This happened back in 2006 allegedly and the woman is reportedly named Wang Jue. I thought to myself that this HAS to be fake; no one is that deranged. But I found out its a crush video & that there are plenty more vids out there like it. However, a Chinese source reports that it cannot be confirmed whether or not animals are actually being killed in the videos. I know some might be real, but this particularly infamous crush video looks kinda fake. The kitten looks stuffed towards the end. Someone please tell me if its fake or not.
