Making a cat comfy for car journeys?

Due to some family changes I'm going to be travelling around 3 hours every other weekend and of course I'll be taking my kitty with me (I've convinced my family to get her a catio for her visits!)

I've seen dog beds for cars and I was wondering if there is anything similar for a cat?

I don't really want to keep her in a cat carrier for 3 hours but at the same time she can't be climbing around the car.

P.s. the cat tax has been paid. Ivy is "too good" for boxes but loves a good drawer.

Extreme cramps and no periods

I'm laying in bed curled up and in agony. The last couple of days I've had some light cramping and thought it was maybe linking to ovulation. Tonight my cramps woke me up because they are so intense and I feel sick. I'm in so much pain i could cry.

I have PMOS but my period ended around two weeks ago and I only bleed every 3 months.

I'm honestly not sure what to do. It's Saturday morning, doctors are shut, I'm not sure this is serious enough to class as an emergency?

This happened around Christmas but passed after a few days.

Recommended contact lenses for dry eyes?

What is the most comfortable brand of contact lenses that people recommend for someone with slightly dry eyes?

I wear glasses for computer work and driving which is basically between 8am and 5pm. Specsavers keep trying to give me toric lenses but they are so damn uncomfortable.

I can't tell if it's because my prescription isn't that strong or they're trying to sell me an expensive product.

Is there a brand of contact lenses you'd recommend? I think I'd prefer daily contacts but I'm open to the idea of monthly ones.

Edit: I have astigmatism but I've never really found it to bother me unless I'm driving at night.

What washing setting do you use on this?

Silly derp aka Ivy decided she had the ability to jump into the laundry hamper but then realised not enough room to jump back out. At one point even closed the lid on herself.

How to stop cardstock sticking to mat?

Every time I use cardstock on my mat bits of it get stuck to the mat when I peel the card away. I've even tried the light grip mat to try and the same happened.

It sounds stupid but can you buy card with a backing?

How to remove small debris from cutting mat?

I stupidly put my mat on a surface before cleaning it and the vinyl transferred little dirty parts onto the mat.

It's not super filthy but is there a way to take the small parts off? I was thinking masking tape?

Does your cat squeak when you pick them up?

I adopted my first cat two years ago, she's now 3. Before I got her I don't think she was very well treated. She used to hate being picked up and so I only did it when I really had to. She always comes for a cuddle on her terms.

For the last week she's been letting me pick her up, she'll jump on the table and paw at me until i pick her up and give her a cuddle. However I've noticed when I pick her up she squeaks. It's not a pain sound but with her being my first cat I'm wondering if this is normal?

Like I said I don't think it's a pain squeak but I want to make sure I'm definitely not hurting her.

BBC newsround - a version for teenagers?

I have a tutor group and I'm looking for something a bit more mature than newsround for them to watch so that we can discuss current events. Is there anything people would recommend?

Inositol - brand recommendations and dosage? UK

I've seen a lot of women with PCOS talking positively about inositol but I have questions before I try it.

From what I understand it helps with insulin resistance?

There are 12 different types but we should be taking the ones that are MYO and DCI?

I have no idea when it comes to supplements. Is there a particular recommended brand?

Is there a certain dosage I should take? A certain time a day? With or without food?

Side effects?

Based in the UK.

TW: Cancer. What happens when someone reaches death from cancer?

I haven't really been close to anyone that has had terminal cancer. I understand the treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. But when someone is terminal does their body just slowly shut down? Does it specifically matter where the cancer spreads to?

I'm basically trying to understand the end stages of a person's life.

Just to note. I don't have cancer but found out a woman I went to school with, she was 34, recently died from cancer. We drifted apart after we finished school but I have very fond memories of her.

Do you take the bells off the toys for your cat?

I know that having a bell on a collar for a cat can affect their hearing etc but are bells on toys ok? I just got some new wand attachments and I'm considering removing the bells from them.

Where do you do your resin?

Five years ago I moved and no longer have a spare room to do my resin. I really miss doing it. I can't do it inside because I have a cat and the fumes aren't good for me or her.

Does anyone do their resin outside? I considered getting a little pop up tent. I have a small shed i can put pieces in while they set (not big enough for me to sit in).

Anyone else got any inspiring ideas?

What's an alcoholic drink you don't see anymore?

I remember when I was younger everyone drank blue WKD. I also haven't seen Dooleys in ages which was like a chocolate liqueur.

Is this light enough to cover?

I've been having laser sessions on my foot tattoo and wondering if this is now light enough to cover?

I think I've had about 7 sessions, two months of healing between them.

My main problem is that I'm wanting something like a sea turtle to cover it with maybe some seaweed/coral bits around it for the parts that extend towards my toes/ankle. I'm not sure if it's light enough to cover with that.

SSRIs, anxiety and PCOS - do you take any medication? I don't think mine is working.

I've suffered with anxiety and bouts of depression since I was a teenager and I'm positive it links to my PCOS (20% of women with PCOS are more likely to have it).

I've been on setraline also known as Zoloft (150mg) for a couple of years now and before that I was on citalopram.

However my anxiety is taking on physical symptoms (tight chest, stomach pain, fluttering heart) in the evenings and at night and i don't think the setraline is the right choice for me anymore.

Has anyone had any success with other SSRIs? I know everyone is different but before I talk to my doctor I'd like to have an idea.

How do you help/stop the fatigue?

I was diagnosed at 19, now 35. I have all the usual issues, irregular periods, body hair etc but my biggest issue is constantly feeling exhausted. I've been on holiday for 4 weeks (teacher) and i feel no more rested.

I essentially live on caffiene but that then has a knock on effect for my anxiety even though I'm on meds for it.

I don't know whether to reach out to my doctors because I'm not aware of anything they can do?

Anyone had any success with fighting the fatigue?
