I guess being that small even if they were edible it wouldn't be worth it shelling them and such. I do lament there being no full 5 gallon photo 😄

Most people are allergic to cat saliva, not the hair (some are allergic to the hair too though). If the cat was maintaining herself well, she was likely licking herself a lot, which could have contributed to your allergic reaction. There are sprays/washes you can buy to reduce the affect, and I think maybe even a specialized food (probably very expensive). But, I mean, that's a lot for effort. If you had the cat for a few weeks and it was unbearable, it's not worth you suffering. Allergies can be hell, they make you miserable. But in the future if you feel the pull to adopt or get a cat, the stuff I mentioned might help. Or even fostering, you might come upon a cat you get along with well allergy wise and can adopt it once living with it for a while and find a match. But there are other pets which are equally nice, rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, dogs, ferrets. Or others alternatives like snakes iguanas tarantulas and so on.

It's actually easy to tell whether you'll have a reaction by going to the store or humane society and asking to hold them for 5 to 10 minutes.

Dumb ass question, but are the seeds edible (like pumpkin or poppy seeds etc)?

Since you are in a thread that's about a women who has been victimized for 10 years by her own husband who she trusted and believed loved her, and raped by 50 plus men at his hand, I want to say, that many, many females also don't come forward because they know they won't be believed. They will also be perceived as weak, or whatever excuse rape apologists give. They asked for it. They dressed like a slut. They were walking too late at night alone. They drank too much and passed out which made them fair game.

It happened to my sister, my brother, my mother, my friends, it's happened to me, it's happened to about 13 other females off the top of my head that I know throughout my life.

It isn't only because a male will be perceived as gay that they don't come forward. That's a byproduct of homophobia. They don't come forward for many of the same reasons females don't come forward. They believe it's their fault., and they don't think other people will believe them. And also possibly they want to try to forget it ever happened, because it's so traumatic.

It's because other people don't want to see the truth, and that truth is that human beings are for the most part garbage. We want to pretend this awful crap doesn't happen on a regular basis but it does. It's not an outlier or abnormal, it's a fact of life for nearly most women and some men. It would be nice if no one could experience this.

☹️ where did they go

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

😂 very true! But a lot of peanut butter lovers aren't body builders, they're average people who sit at a desk all day and burn 1300 to 2300 cals a day depending on activity level, sex, and size.

I see what you are saying, but maybe you're looking at it from an animal perspective instead of a plant one. They could have consciousness in their own way that's not similar to ours, so we think they are "brainless" or not aware of what's going on. I'm not a scientist but I do wonder about plants. They are living creatures.
