  • I think its important to specify here that “poor hygiene” includes putting soap and other stuff on or in the vagina - stuff that for many other body parts would be good hygiene.

    Proper hygiene consists of clean underwear every day, mild unscented soap on mons pubis and outside the vulva (thighs, ass), and only water on the outer parts of the vulva (labia, clitoris etc), and absolutely nothing inside the vaginal canal. The vagina is constantly flushing itself out, and trying to clean it’s inside is only ruining it’s process of self-cleaning.

    Infections are most common when unsuitable stuff is introduced to the sensitive environment: perfume, soap, poorly washed sex toys or body parts introducing bacteria; or choosing wrong material for condoms, sex toys or underwear. Not washing or changing underwear can also lead to strong smells, but is by far not the most common one reason for infections.


  • Cats dont tell you when something is wrong, so any change in behaviour, especially around their bathroom habits, is reason for a checkup at the vet.

    I had a cat start peeing on the toilet, and have heard similar with cats starting to go in the shower drain, and turned out to have pretty severe kidney damage.

    Hopefully it is nothing like that, but I didn’t realise something was wrong until it was too late and I don’t want the same for you and your cat.

    Yeah in this case, dogs are easy mode. There are indeed some similarities between cats and rabbits, with two major differences:

    1. Rabbits are 100% prey animals with all that entails (stuff like having their eyes at sides of their head, used to being ambushed and chased down - consider something as simple as what angle to approach them from, as opposed to animals with eyes in front of head), and

    2. People usually keep rabbits in cages where their only socialisation is “visits” once or twice a day, if that, and their frustration will build to incredible degrees when denied their need to roam and investigate and chew and burrow, and bond with their family. “Body doubling” where the rabbit can inspect the whole space while keeping an eye on you as you do some chill activity from a safe distance is important to build trust. Not keeping them confined to a cage while we go about our lives and think they’ll have any trust in us whenever WE feel like picking them up for a cuddle.

    We are the predators, it’s up to us to make them feel safe.








  • Absolutely beautiful bird.

    I assume a lot of nature photography is trust- and reputation-based, but are there any other checks to keep generated images from taking over here?

    Edit: I dont mean to imply that this image is generated! The question is completely irrelevant to the picture, but I’m a silly goose with no impulse control when a question pops into my head.

    Edit2: Totally understand if you don’t want to give away any existing checks to make them easier to get by, btw.
