I'd be hesitant to buy anything of the sort off Amazon due to the higher possiblity of fake products. I checked target.com, and I think this is the blue gel, but there's a handful of reviewers noting burns also.

The only reason I check Reddit with any regularity anymore is for content local to where I live. There's a few communities on the fediverse for my area, but with only minimal, sporadic activity.

I would love to see more activity around fostering animals, particularly cats. I started !fosteranimals and have participated over at !fosterkittens, but it seems there's not many of us so far.

Edit: No clue why I can only get 1 of the 2 links to work correctly, but FosterAnimals is on kbin.social, and FosterKittens is on lemmy.world.

Yup. Use an instance that makes that data visible, such as kbin. It takes a few clicks, but it's there for anyone to see.

Noooooo! Never encourage cats to see hands as toys! I've been watching "My Cat From Hell" recently, and so many "vicious" cats have a guardian who thinks roughhousing their cat is a good idea, but can't understand why their cat attacks everyone else. Once they get into a routine of using appropriate toys to play with the cat, suddenly the cat stops attacking everyone else.

I let my cats sniff almost everything, and they usually walk away. For example, today I let them sniff some both raw chicken that I was preparing for my own dinner, and both gave it a few good sniffs before walking away. Most recently, I discovered that my youngest enjoys peanut butter! I believe it was the same cat who has also tried to eat my dried mango on multiple occasions. It was either my oldest or a friend's cat who repeatedly took me up on the offer of banana chips.

I'm in the US and my (generic) Adderall XR is delivered via USPS, so it's definitely possible.

Nothing. I don't want random junk and I don't want to feel obligated to buy random junk for others.

Not the person you responded to, but my vet strongly urged me to transition my cats to primarily wet food, saying that the cheapest wet food is still better than the best dry food. I could go on and on and on, but to be brief, they provide different ratios of carbs:protein (cats are obligate carnivores and require almost zero carbs) and cats that eat primarily wet food are much more likely to be adequately hydrated.

I was wondering the same thing recently when I saw a person walking outdoors wearing a lose fitting fabric mask covering only their mouth, not their nose. The conclusion I came to is that person must be aware that their breath smells terrible, so they wear the mask to prevent others from smelling their breath. And the mask is worn under their nose so they don't have to smell their own breath.

What happens with your cat on the weekends? Sorry, I realize that's not the point of the post, but I'm so worried about the cat being left alone all weekend!

I don't know if "rarely" is quite the right description, but I foster kittens. I meet lots of people who are excited to hear about it on a surface level and see pictures/videos/play with them, but it's been challenging to connect with other people who also foster. I'm desperate to trade stories, learn from, and teach other foster parents. I even started a community on Kbin and have posted there a few times, but haven't gotten any engagement (other than votes) so far.
In case anyone is curious, I'm still confused about how to properly link cross platform, but it's at fosteranimals@kbin.social
