My cats ear got infected so before putting on the medicine I’d wipe it out with a clean cotton pad. My cat LOVED it. He was in ecstasy, drooling and purring. If I even touch the bag of cotton pads now he comes running and crying, demanding I clean his ears.

DUDE THATS NSFW WTF

134

u/Fighter8811 Aug 26 '23

Not sure why the subreddit was labeled as NSFW (maybe as a joke) but it's all safe kitty pics and vids.

76

u/Grantmitch1 Aug 26 '23

I remember reading a comment a while back saying that subreddits that go NSFW affect advertising?

51

u/maybelle180 Aug 26 '23

It was during the Reddit wars a few weeks ago, when Reddit gave up third party apps. The sub went NSFW to hurt revenues from advertisers or something. (It didn’t matter) but they’re one of the few subs that’s sticking to their guns, which is honorable. Imho 🤷‍♀️

u/CouldNotAffordOne Aug 26 '23

No biting, no scratching? That kitty is obviously broken. Maybe someone scratched the brain a bit too much. 😂😉

u/Available-Maize5837 Aug 26 '23

Haha. My kitty needs his ears cleaned but if I try it I need full body armour first.

u/sigmund14 Aug 26 '23

Can't just do it like it's an object. You have to do it with a feeling. Do it like you would like to have it done if you would be a cat.

Similar approach can be used for interactions with people. Imagine you are on the other side of the interaction. Experience gets so much better, for you and for the other person(s).

u/maybelle180 Aug 26 '23

Cats love inner ear scratches. Just don’t do it with long fingernails.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '23 edited Aug 26 '23

Ikr? I've seen a video where the cat actually scratched the eyebag. And so much bleeding.

Glad she didn't get hurt, but had me all tensed up at the end 😅

Before you type a comment of that sort, why don't you just pop over to damncat1 on tt, which is Iulia and Ameba's profile.

Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep.

Same feeling when using a Qtip to rub that one part deep in your ear just right

2

u/sabienn Aug 27 '23

Qtips shouldn't be inserted into the ear... It damages the tiny hairs inside the ear and those don't grow back, causing hearing loss. And while they take some earwax out, part of the earwax will be pushed further into the ear, which can cause infections. If you want to clean your ear, it's better to just take a tissue to clean the outside. If the hearing canals are plugged up, either clean them with olive oil or if there is already a painful infection going on, just go to the doctor. But Qtips really should not go into any ears, even if it feels good

2

u/lhcludyodoypuflhoyf Aug 27 '23

Reason why stopped. Though when I was doing it I found certin parts felt like bliss when scratched with em.

u/HottaHenne Aug 31 '23

lol these are not the hairs needed for hearing... there is a membrane in between - remember?

u/Fun_Intention9846 Aug 26 '23

I also kissed and cuddled my cat this much. People say they hate it but he would literally sprint over if I called.

I got denied a promotion at work for using would to describe events in the past. Entire reason they said “we asked what you did not what you would hypothetically do.”

u/leotheabys Aug 26 '23

What do you mean? Using "would" as "used to" is grammatically correct. I am an English teacher, so I am absolutely sure about that one.

5

u/2oocents Aug 26 '23

Wouldn't the "if" make the "would" a hypothetical?

12

u/Flat_Bodybuilder_175 Aug 26 '23

English teacher as well lol. It depends on the context. "Would" can be used for both past tense and conditional tense. Sometimes both tenses can be present in the same sentence.

Example

"When we were kids, we would eat by the quarry if the weather was nice."

3

u/jmverlin Aug 26 '23

I was taught to just say “we ate by…” but that was journalism school where writing short is the goal.

3

u/Flat_Bodybuilder_175 Aug 26 '23

That's also acceptable! What makes "would" unique in past tense is that it also specifically signifies something happening more than once. That's the only time I use it - when using past simple tense could confuse a routine event for a one time thing.

You are not the first one to comment that under videos with her and Amepino (I have posted several so far). I post them because she says Reddit is just too much for her, so since we're friends, I always ask Iulia for permission to post and she loves just reading people's comments. She is a lovely person, I adore her.

since this comment section is full of cat owners i feel like. me and my gf are struggling to get out chunky cat cooper to love us. it’s like a switch or something. for a week straight he would come down and hang out with us in the basement but now whenever we even try to pick him up or take him down to eat he gets terrified and runs back upstairs. This dude would devour treats in front of us and now it’s like he is terrified to even breath. if anyone can give advice that would be amazing.

u/Mundane-Mage Aug 27 '23

Someone please explain how to do this. I assume using your fingernails to scratch the inner ear would do damage so is it just gently rubbing with the finger pad? And how much pressure and recommended brand of cotton product for the ear cleaning part where you would use such?

2

u/leotheabys Aug 27 '23

Just a dry but soft cotton swab and gentle circular motions inside the outer part of the ear (not the ear canal itself!). That would be it.
