I am in my third semester at UCONN and want out. My family is from Manchester and I've lived there my whole life. I want to change my degree from digital media design to finance so I can make good money when I get out. Give me all the cons please. Pros too but mostly cons.
I did Upward Bound during high school so I know the campus a bit. High school was nearly two years ago though, so what has changed? What can I expect as a transfer? (Dorms, food, housing, etc)
I ordered a shirt and the poster on February 18th. I got the poster in May but the shirt is still in transit. I tried to click the USPS tracking number but they either dont have it or it doesnt exist. Help? :(
Looking for a chill guy to hang out with and make you laugh? Look no further than my father (60M)! As a retired disabled veteran, hes got the dark humor to have you rolling! He enjoys grilling, going out on the lake, coloring books, and recently picked up gardening!
Fr though, it makes me sick to my stomach seeing him lonely. He makes friends as easy as breathing but he struggles with staying in contact. He has no friends to take him out to have fun and all of his long term friends have moved away. If anyone is willing, help a concerned daughter out and be friends with her super cool dad
Tl;DR: I know of sinful biscuits but only in femsle cats, if my male 1yr old cat is making biscuits while I slap his booty are they sinful biscuits?
​
Ive heard of sinful biscuits but only ever in female cats. I also know that cats like their bootys smacked so in attempt to bond with my very shy cat I've been smacking his booty. We're bonding but idk if this is the kind of bond I should have with my cat- when I smack him he sploots with his back to me and starts making biscuits. He's also just started chewing stuff? Like I finished smacking him and then he started chew on the corner of my iPad. Is he being sinful or is he just making bread cause hes happy?
I cant get a ss of it, but its around the first quarter mark of the movie where they pull simon back up and he blasts them with radiation. Simon is going on about how it isnt worth it and Ava responds with "this is the best we have, and its more than you deserve. So just do your job." Then Simon slams something(?) Down and goes on about "my job? The handcuffs must have confused me, I didnt know thst this was voluntary"
What is the thing he slams down? Looks like a metal cylinder of some sort but I can't make out what it is
TL;DR:
I had a cat who was super chill with being on a harness snd going outside. I didbt like it because he didnt have anything to protect him from fleas and ticks but he was OK with it so im ok with it. He passed and now we have a new kitten and my mom has put a harness on him and taken him outside when he obviously didnt really like it and I told her no. Cat really freaked out. Hid under bed (which he NEVER does) and I pull the harness off and tell my mom off but she says I won't win this and he will be put in a harness. Please help by siting factual sources to convince her that what she is doing is going to hurt him.
We have two cats. Freddy (turned 1 last month, black short haired, male) and Benito (turned 1 today, cow medium hair, male) who we adopted Novemeber of 2025 as a bonded pair, but not from the same litter. Benito and Freddy are opposites. Freddy is outgoing, playful, energetic, and just a really chill dude that just let's you do whatever to him. Benito is skittish, paranoid, chunky, and only really shows affection before and after you feed him, rest of the time he's hiding under my bed.
February of 2025 we lost my soul cat Bella (17 1/2, tuxedo short hair, male) whom I got as my first christmas gift in 2007. We've had him since he was a kitten and had passed away due to kidney failure but lived a fulfilling life as he only started to show symptoms of his disease a few weeks before his passing. Bella was also chill like Freddy but he still had firm boundaries like Benito. I like to think our two new babies is just my baby split in two.
That being said, at the end of this life, long before he started showing symptoms, (he had been diagnosed with kidney disease for like 4 years by the time he passed but he only showed it at the very end) we decided to give him a taste of the outdoors. Honestly, now that I think about it, this might have sped along his decline. We put him in a cat harness, which he was totally chill with no surprise, and took him outside 2-3 times before he died. He was fine with it, a little curious, but ultimately unamused by the whole thing and happily went back inside.
This is where my problem arises. See, my mom loved taking Bella outside, it was fun seeing him explore, so when we adopted our two babies, she also bought two harnesses for them. I didnt like this. 1. They were babies. 2. They were new to us. 3. They have no shots for fleas or ticks or any research done on how to safely take your indoor cat outsjde And 4. We would be moving sometime in the next year so i didnt want them to get any encouragement to try and sneak outside. I just didnt like it.
A couple days ago we had to move stuff off the patio and while doing so, my mom left the sliding door open and allowed Freddy to dip his toes in to see how he Fairs. Unlike bella, who happily went out snd happily went in, freddy went in and out repeatedly, going a little further each time, before he was sticking his neck through the rails of the patio which he could very well squeeze through and run off. I called him back inside and told my mum that I just had a bad feeling and not to do it again. She said next time he'll have a harness so he'll be fine, and ignored me when I protested.
Well today I walk downstairs and see my mom forcing a harness on Freddy, the chill one, who is putting up a little fight, but otherwise just confused. She told me to grab the leash and I did so while voicing my concern and telling her he doesnt need to be outside. She ignores me and and takes him out on the patio. I run to grab my shoes to go out with them and supervise but by the time im back freddy is quickly walking back inside only to start freaking out as he hears thr leash dragging behind him on the wood floor.
Like- absolutely freak out. He sliding everywhere because of the wood floor and hes racing to the basement and scaring the shit out of Benito who is also now sliding and then runs back up stairs then up more stairs into my room and under my bed. The only reason I was able to find him was because the leash was sticking out. The whole time my mom is laughing her head off while im chasing him and trying to calm him down.
I reach under the bed to try and at least unleash him and my mom is telling me to drag him out. When I say no, she approaches me to do it herself, so I lift my leg up and kick at her like a horse thats fallen over and tell her that she is scaring him and he doesnt want to do this and to just leave him alone. She backs off and I continue to try snd unleash freddy. I have to pull him a little to try snd get the clip out of the loop but he manages to slip out of the whole harness and stay where he is. (Which means he could have slipped out of it if he wanted to move and someone was holding the leash) i throw the leash to thr ground and tell my mom that he doesnt want this. He doesn't need this. Why are you trying to make the chill cat scared of you. She says some bs that he will learn to be chill with it and I tell her that he is just a kitten and the only reason I allowrd bella to be put outside was because he was fine with it. This is not something freddy needs. He is perfectly fine indoors and does not need to learn to be chill about it. She leaves and I get a tube (you know the one) to try and make peace with freddy (who is still under the bed) and my mom just goes downstairs on her phone.
I need her to understand that what she is doing is not ok. I dont know all the fancy language in cat biology/psychology but I know in my gut that this is wrong. If an animal does not like something that is not important to their survival/happiness they should not be forced to "learn to be ok with it" I feel like shes doing this because she believes hes too chill to hold a grudge. Im not sure what kind of cats shes been seeing but cats hold grudges, even the more chiller kind.
So please, tell me im not crazy and give me any kind of sources that can show my mom that she is hurting out baby.
If im overreacting, tell me.

Adopted him in November 2025 he just recently turned 1 and I am 19 living at home for summer break with my mom and his bonded brother who will turn 1 soon. It started today about 30 minutes ago he threw up his breakfast which is dry food, we feed him dry mixed with wet for dinner, then threw up another 3-4 times but it was all liquid and whitish. In-between each vomit he would chew(?) And pant like a dog but really really fast and howl. He has calmed down and am currently in the car taking him to the vet but please tell me nothing serious is wrong please
My phone is a GalaxyS23 and I've had it since 2024. Yesterday it started charging slow. Normally, it charges up to 20% in 15 minutes, but now it barely charges 5% in 30 minutes. Its not the charger, I checked it on another device and its still quick. It also feels kinda hot when its charging? Usually it gets hot when I use it for a while and cools down when its charging but now it gets hot when its charging aswell. I have the means to go get it checked but were moving soon so we'll be pretty busy. I just want to know if there is anything I can do from home?
So I currently have two boy cats, adopted November 2025, and who are turning 1 this year. They were adopted bonded and are still obsessed with each other. We are moving sometime in July and my grandma is moving in with us. My grandma has a female cat who is 4-5 years old and has lived alone with my grandma. How should I go about introducing them before we move? They are all fixed.
