My kitten bites all the time and headbutts me, how do I stop that?
The kitten is about 11 weeks old. We have had her for about 3 weeks now and she was weaned when we got her from her mom who was a stray a friend of ours was feeding. She constantly bites when she is awake unless I play with her, but I can't play with her all the time as I have other things to do. She never gets tired and is always jumping on my feet, my hands even my face. I know I am supposed to stop playing when she does that, but she doesn't stop. I can;t get her away from my hands or my feet, there is no way to walk out or stop. At night she comes and headbutts me when I am sleeping which of course wakes me up, and if I try to pet her she bites again. If I hide my hands she goes after my face and bites my face. I really don't know what to do with her. I suppose she is teething and all, but my other cat was the same age when we got her and she never ever scratched me, or bite my face. She used to bite sometimes when playing but much softer and she knew not to scratch and not to go after the face. And btw I got some toys she can bite on instead, but not working so far. Can somebody suggest a possible solution?
3 AnswersCats10 years agoColor contact lenses for astigmatism?
I really wanted to try wearing color contacts, mostly out of curiosity, but it appears that it is impossible to find them for astigmatism. I had my eye exam a few days ago, went in ready to purchase colored contacts and left disappointed. They told me they had them but only the kind that you wear for a whole year 1 pair, and that they feel dry and uncomfortable. They were also very expensive. Has anyone been able to find a kind that is comfortable and looks good as well? What were they? I am thinking about going to a different place to try to find them because for some reason it seemed to me that they really didn't want to sell me colors, or maybe they didn't have them so they didn't want to tell me where to find them either.
3 AnswersOptical1 decade agoThank you letters after a job interview?
I had a job interview with two people. One of them gave me a card, the other one didn't and I forgot to ask. Should I send a thank you letter to the one I have and not the other one, or should I just not send it to none of them. I also don't remember his name so I am kind of stuck here. Advice?
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoJob interview questions, help me with the answers?
There a few questions I need some help with. I haven't been to a lot of interview - about 4 I think, but I have always been asked the same type of questions. I know how to answer the traditional kind, but not the behavioral kind. For instance here are a few I would like some help with.
1. Tell me about a situation when you had a conflict with a co-worker and how did you resolve it?
What if you hadn't had any conflicts? I have one situation in mind, where I had a conflict with a employee who wanted to sleep while she was working (I was training her). I have always brought that up, and never got the job. I would normally tell them what happened - she wanted to sleep I said she can't do it because she is getting paid, she got mad, etc. What do I need to do to make this sound in my favor. Answer the question with your own experience.
2. Tell me about a time when you did something out of the ordinary and its outcome.
Again I haven't done that. I like to stick to what is safe. What is a good answer?
3. Sell something (eg. a pen or any other random thing)
4. Why do you want to work for us? (say it is some grocery store, or any other retail position)
5. What would you do if you catch a customer stealing? (what about a manager or co-worker stealing)?
I think that the right thing to do is to tell somebody, but not really sure how to go about it. I mean if it s a customer I can probably reoslve it on my own, by telling them I saw it, and stuff, but what it if is your manager?
Ok this is for now. I really need to prepare for this interview, and I can't afford not to get the job so please help me. I am trying to answer them on my own, and I do have answers for all, but I want to know what the hiring manager want to hear.
3 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoWould you rather hire someone with a degree than someone without a degree for a job that doesn't require one?
I have a Bachelor's degree, but I haven't been able to find a job that reflects it, so I have been applying at grocery stores, mall, etc. Well I never get a call back and if I do get a interview I don't get hired. And honestly, why would they hire someone else over me? I have had retail experience, plus I have obviously proven to be hardworking if I have a degree, and graduated with honors. So what is the deal? Any hiring managers here?
And god some of those managers were so stupid, they didn't even know what a engineering degree is. Forgive me for my bitterness, but this is all very upsetting for me.
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoHow do you get a job in today's economy?
I am so f****ing tired of applying for jobs and never hearing back. I mean what is it with those people, if they don't want to hire you can't they at least give you a call, or email saying, thank you but we picked somebody else? What kind of hiring managers are those? And then when you call them they never pick up or get back with you if you leave a message.
What do I do? I have a Bachelor's degree, and I am applying for jobs at Starbucks. And then somebody gets hired over me. I graduated with honors for god's sake! Sorry for the long text, but I am so angry and I just need to write it all out.
I have been to a few interviews, and I never get a call back. I look nice, I am competent, especially when it comes to those kind of jobs that don't require any degree. I have had plenty of experience, then what is it that I need to do? Just tell me some suggestions please.
2 AnswersEconomics1 decade agoOver the counter meds for panic attacks/anxiety attacks?
Hi. I need help in finding some kind of medication that will help me calm down before public speaking. I know everybody gets nervous, etc, but in my case it is more than that. I am nervous to the point where I can pass out, and unfortunately public speaking seems to be big part of my life. My condition is making it impossible to communicate, and I need to get it fixed somehow. I have tried herbal medication with Valerian root, but it doesn't help at all. Is there anything else I can take that is over the counter? I did go and asked a pharmacists at a few different places, but they were not helpful at all, and I couldn't find anything. Any help is appreciated.
3 AnswersOther - Health1 decade agoPhone interview with BNSF, what should I expect?
it is for a management trainee position. I have mechanical engineering degree with GPA higher than 3.5.
I read some other similar questions and people say that safety is important, and they like military members. I am not one, but I am a military dependent. Well anyways, I just want to know what do they ask on the phone interview. I was only able to find stuff about the in person interview. any help is appreciated.
1 AnswerRail1 decade agoCat stopped covering her poop?
I know it is a common problem with cats. She has always covered it completely before. She used to have a regular litter box, without a top. A month ago we got her a covered one because there was litter all over the carpet, and it is now much better. She got used to it immediately and didn't have any problems. However the litter kind I used to buy seems to have changed because it used to be almost dust free and there are big clouds of dust coming from it every time I scoop now. I bought a different kind - corn litter - and mixed them together. The corn litter has a different smell and I don't especially like it, but it is not dusty and it clumps well. Yesterday I changed the litter to only corn and now she poops on the top and doesn't cover it. She doesn't even seem to dig before she does her thing like she used to. This has happened twice since yesterday. Sorry for the long questions, but keep on reading please :) I was wondering if it could be the smell that she doesn't like or the way it feels to her paws...it isn't that different in consistence than the other one. I am worried she might stop using it completely. But not covering it is already a problem because IT STINKS! :) Suggestions?
1 AnswerCats1 decade agoMoving and worried for kitty?
We have had our kitty for about 3 months, and she is 4 months old now. However, we are going to move in with my husbands parents for a few months (could be up to the end of the year), until I find a job and save some money. I graduated form college recently and my husband is still in college so the budget is a little low :) The problem is that his mom has two small dogs, and they bark at everything. Also we are probably going to have to keep kitty in our room to make sure she is safe and doesn't scratch on their furniture, which she never does currently. I just need somebody to tell me what their experience is, and do you think she will adjust to it pretty easily since she is still a kitten. She is very sociable and likes playing with everybody, but never been around other animals.

4 AnswersCorporations1 decade agoWeird glitch with the Sims 3 twins?
So my Sim got pregnant and ended up having twins (what a pain it is to care for two, I am glad she didn't end up having triplets lol) SO everything was fine until it was time for them to age. One of them aged to a toddler a day earlier and I thought maybe it was because she was born first. Next day I had a birthday party for both of them since this is when the other one was supposed to age as well. Well guess what. They both aged again and now one of them is a toddler and the other is a child. Is this something that always happens? Just curios. I suppose it is ok since I would get crazy caring for two anyways. But toddlers are so cute...

3 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks1 decade agoChange of name after green card petition?
My husband filed I-130 green card petition for me together with an adjustment of status application. I haven't changed my last name yet, but I want to take my husbands last name and I am not sure how to go about changing it, since the petition uses my maiden name. I know how to change my name so this is now what I am asking. I want to know how do I notify DHS about it so it can reflect all the paperwork and I can get my green card with my new name on it. I know this sounds confusing, but I hope you understand what I am trying to ask. I was able to find out how to reflect change of address and now can i get a replacement of the green card (once I already have it), but now how to make sure I get it with my new last name.

2 AnswersImmigration1 decade ago2 months old kitten throwing up?
My kitten started throwing up thing morning. It is clear liquid, looks like saliva and there is no smell to it. She has done it 4 times in the last hour or 2. I called the vet and the girl told me the doctor isn't there today, but she said not to feed her or give her any water for 5 hours or so. I am still worried. She is too young to be throwing hairballs. Her hair doesn't fall off at all yet. Also she doesn't eat any grass. I can't think of anything she could have eaten to cause this. Has anyone had a similar experience and how did it turn out?
