Nah, the cat was already self-aware.
Problem is that the mirror test isn't a good measurement for self-awareness, despite the proclamations by the test's authors. It makes various biased assumptions about how self-awareness works.

LPT: You can buy the inside bits by themselves (e.g. these ones). It can be a lot cheaper than buying them with the case. I don't even bother with the case, I just use the "refills" by themselves.

I would recommend getting additional wall stickies, it did not stay on the wall with the ones provided.

It’s a theragun, it’s used in physical therapy to relax and loosen tight stiff muscles. I consider them a godsend. Here’s an amazon link so you can check them out, if you like. https://www.amazon.com/G3PRO-Percussive-Professional-Stimulator-Performance/dp/B07MJ2MCT3
On the personal massager note, I don’t have personal experience with using it for masturbation, but I think I’d have to lean toward the don’t, no seriously it’s a bad idea side.
Cats are already self-aware, but the mirror test makes many broken assumptions about self-awareness in the first place.
Many human children from certain cultures fail the mirror test, so it can't be an objective measurement.

You may want to try a feeding mat, also called a snuffle mat. It makes the dogs play for for their food by having to find it all.
It also helps get piles of food off the ground.
oh boy do i have some good news for you! these bread shaped ones are my personal favorite. the review photos are a goldmine.

ATTENTION CAT OWNERS:
This behavior is normal and preventable etc... But if you purchase your kitty a calming collar be warned the chemicals/essential oils in the collar will burn and seriously injure your cat's mouth if it gets stuck like this. Example of one such collar:
https://www.amazon.com/SENTRY-Calming-Collar-Cats-Count-x/dp/B0083F8XVM
The photos are a bit gross so be warned.
Please be attentive to make sure your pet's collar is properly fitted and if it can't be, just take it off; Find another solution. It's not worth the pain and suffering of your pet. Also note that even when properly fitting a chemical collar, your pet may be sensative to it and may experience an allergic reaction or similar discomfort.
Edit: I know there has been interest in getting this product (and similar products) removed from the market because of the serious and potentially fatal complications of it. Please don't use this product. Please warn others.
My fiancé is like this. Then one day, we saw a plastic thingy on Shark Tank that instantly transforms you into a pack mule. He was ordering it online with in 5 seconds.
Do you live in the US?
I don't, but have gotten the impression that unsecured dogs is the norm there.
Anyway, you use something like this. Or a nice crate.
I've heard somewhere that a crate is safer, but I've got no idea why. We use a crate which we've secured with the seatbelt running through it. He's very calm during rides and being left in the car alone.
The hippo isn’t the best made toy or anything. My pup has just decided to not destroy it for some reason, but here’s the link if you’re still interested.
and I appreciate the suggestions! I’ll definitely look into them! I’m always on the hunt for strong dog toys. The best one I’ve found so far is this . My dog loves it and despite his best efforts hasn’t been able to shred it.
That's understandable. My humidifer is made to be used with essential oils. I think the main difference between cool-mist diffusers and humidifers is water capacity.
I'm glad you spoke up about essential oils and cats. If they had lemon oil in that thing it could be very bad.
A lot of cats prefer to drink running water, it's why I got one of those fountain bowls for my cats.
Cats are really built to get most of their water from their food and are bad about actually drinking water and that can cause some serious kidney problems. And since cats are also hardwired to hide pain unless they're literally dying, a lot of owners won't even know anything is wrong until their cat is already in renal failure. So it's generally best to pander to a cat's pickiness about how/what kind of water they're willing to drink, even if it seems weird/ridiculous. Giving them wet food on a regular basis is also a good way to reduce the chances of kidney-related kitty death.
That got very gloomy 😰 sorry about that. I'm just the type to yell about kitty care cuz I had a friend lose a kitten to renal failure because she didn't know this stuff and I don't want anyone else to have to go through that.

I literally listened to a podcast about Marnie this morning on the way to work. It's only about 15 minutes for those who want to have a listen to Marnie's story.

There is the Breeze system. It uses pellets which REALLY cuts down on the scatter+the few that do are very easy to clean up, rather than having to vacuum litter.

^this, my parents were involved in a 45mph crash, everyone survived apart from the old labrador in the back seat of the Vauxhall Astra that hit them in the back.. poor thing got launched through the windscreen and broke it's spine ;(
I made my (old and fussy) pup wear a harness that clipped into the seat belt lock thingy-ma-jig ever since..
Imagine getting hit by a 100lb unsecured dog sitting behind you at 45mph... according to the web its a force of 51565lbs https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/car-crash-force. which is 23.4 metric tons for our Euro friends.
Not one to lecture but I prefer pups over people and don't want to see the poor little sods hurt without need. :P
This is what we use as well for our chewer lol. We have went through several beds and a kong bed and he's destroyed a lot, but these wubba's, or anything made out of fire hose are pretty resilient.
​
If you are looking for a chew that's 'long lasting' I have found these. Generally if your dog is a major chewer you want to stay away from rawhide. They can chip of pieces quickly without them getting soft from their saliva, and it can be sharp on their insides. :D Try and look for things that don't have rawhides if your puppo goes through things quickly. The ones I linked are what I use for my dog and they last a good 15-20 minutes. (Before I knew about the rawhide thing, he would go through a rawhide bone in less time and it would be broken into pieces like I mentioned above.)
​
Hope you have fun with your friend and enjoy having a dobie. They are one of the best companions out there. Smart, quirky, and always giving you a laugh.
It looks like it could be a hands free dog leash, sort of like this one.

ETA: I think they’re on sale right now! Actually, when I pulled that link, I saw the price is lower than it was when I bought one... and I just bought a second one.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07BPZVFZV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_aULcGbAS32R5X you too can have a tartlet! Both my cats love it, they also like playing with the blueberries sometimes (chasing, bunny kicking)

It's amazing. I have some muscle problems and it's great for it. My wife got it a couple days ago. I'm sure it could be used for other things though. Lol
Thundershirt makes a pheromone spray that you can spray on a bandana and it helps dogs calm down.. it works wonders for my scaredy black lab! Just have to apply it about 20 mins before the storm comes in.amazon link
Thanks for the tip! He still paws at the chair sometimes.
He has two posts and a cat tower that has scratching posts for supports, so he has plenty!
This is Yeti btw 😁
Yeah, it's blender using the greasepencil feature.
I used motion tracking to fix the text in place in the scene. It looks like it took a lot of work, but it took 25 minutes thanks to motion tracking. It would have took a lot less time if I hadn't animated every frame.
I will try and throw together a little video tutorial soon.
My wife and I got one for our dog for this exact reason, he likes it and it kinda helps. We still have to sit with him and calm him down but its not as bad

Oh they are great! We have different colors for each person so it’s easy to keep things sorted. We have these TravelWise Luggage Packing Organization Cubes 5 Pack, Black, 2 Small, 2 Medium, 1 Large https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08XDPCH46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K5TZNVYJ95KB19D853PB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 but there are lots of similar ones. We also have some compression ones but I only like to use those for really bulky things like snow gear because otherwise your suitcase will be crazy heavy.
We had a small dog who loved the labels/tags on his toys more than the toys themselves.
I found a mini baby blanket for him; has little tags sewn all around the edges. He LOVED his taggies blanket.
Cat might appreciate something like this. Link goes to the blanket, and the company also makes plush toys with extra tags, as well:

I used 8mm "jute" rope, specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BNBJ7LW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_KSEDKC938MAPDRK2BCH6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I think you could get away with the 6mm rope on offer just fine, the thicker rope seems to pull apart easier which isn't necessarily what you want. Or something else comparable (this isn't sponsored or anything)!
I bought one for my dogs a few weeks back. They don’t like when the water touches their paws 😔
>gaming chair
Do you mean one of those fancy chairs that recline really far or this thing? If the latter, would you recommend it? I'm looking for something like that. I got this and that's working ok, but it needs to be against a wall.
i think you're ok...that was 90% another Arrested D reference, 10% defending their dog's honor, methinks. Have a mug.

I got mine on Amazon (UK) a couple of years ago. Just checked and it's still there but cheaper now!
I got it off of amazon. It’s the outward hound life vest. Here’s the link: Outward Hound Dawson Dog Life Jacket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5DW8BK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2N4zBb43B4AE4
It seems to work well. He was very nervous about going into water (he would jump In and then panic a bit) so we got him the life vest and he seems way more confident. Safety first! Haha.
It's on Amazon (not affiliated, I just know because I got one for my cats a little while ago): https://smile.amazon.com/Skymee-Fountain-Automatic-Drinking-Dispenser/dp/B07D49FKMM/ref=pd_day0_hl_199_16?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07D49FKMM&pd_rd_r=e5ec205d-e1d9-11e8-aac9-bdcc7588e710&pd_rd_w=kcBUd&pd_rd_wg=PAKYg&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=VC2MGKVSFVZ908478MX3&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=VC2MGKVSFVZ908478MX3
I just bought this one for $18 on amazon. My cat throws litter everywhere so I thought I'd see if this type of box helps.
We bought this one from Amazon for like $20. My cats love it and I love that it keeps our dogs from going in for snacks.

She's completely okay, and she still goes on 1-2 mile walks with no problem. She just sometimes can't get traction on a slippery floor without her shoes on.
She also has a sling that goes under her back legs in case she starts to struggle on a walk or going uphill. I highly recommend for older dogs who are losing a bit of mobility.
Aww but at least the doggo loved his time at the park. RIP that poor sweater though. 😆 Perhaps you could get a carseat cover or cargo liner? Here's an example of what I mean on Chewy's site, though there are lots of other options for both the cover as well as other sites. I got a similar one, mostly to protect my dog from sliding off the seat, but the protection for the seats certainly is a nice bonus and beats using old blankets in which scents tend to linger more. And the one I got still got holes through it to connect a doggy seatbelt.
Want something like it for half the price? Buy this shell in the colour of your choice, fill it with this memory foam. You'll use less than 20# of the 30# bag for a 6'-7' bed, so you can sell the rest or use it as filler for your pets' beds. 10# bags typically go for $100-$200 on Amazon, so you might do well on the secondary market. ♡ Granny
It looks a LOT like this one
I have three and my dogs LOVE them, but I have to give them away because for SOME REASON one of my cats thinks they’re backup litter boxes. 😑
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWUJ5PQ?pd_rd_i=B01LWUJ5PQ&pf_rd_p=424785d2-553c-4023-a368-1b6acfe2c2f8&pf_rd_r=GWDZFAGDVZB15BFY1BS3&pd_rd_wg=QR9mu&pd_rd_w=Bb4nE&pd_rd_r=f9a58a9f-bc35-4ec0-8ad2-dfca40b11c8d. Try something like this! It works pretty well for getting a bird to stop before they run into the glass!
It's coded to the individual cat's microchip, so that the clear plastic cover only opens if it detects the "right" cat(s).
They are... not cheap. But if you have a "food thief cat" and another cat that's under-eating, it's awesome.
No idea why you got downvoted before! Called teaser poles or flirt poles. Don’t get the extendable or folding ones, they break. My dog is not very aggressive, catches it and lets go immediately for a treat but this particular pole survived my crazy foster pup! https://www.chewy.com/outward-hound-tail-teaser-refill-dog/dp/50955
they make a mix if you want to save some money. I've made these before and to me they were just as good as what you'd get at the restaurant.
I got it on amazon a while ago, don’t remember how much it was, but this is something similar and I have it for years already, so it’s worth buying it laptop stand
Syrian hamsters should have about a 10 inch wheel at minimum. Basically, you want them to be completely straight and able to stretch out when they run. You don't want them to have to bend their backs with the wheel, it's super uncomfortable at best, and can cause spinal problems at worst.
This is the wheel I have for my hamster
You can also find used ones for cheap on facebook marketplace or offer up :)
You should watch Victoria Raechel on youtube. She has loads info and advice :)
You can get something like this that is a little gentler if you are worried about pulling too hard on the tiny dog. It isn't a muzzle it just works a little gentler by going around the dog's snout. My little guy HATED it but boy does it stop him from pulling instantly. We walked him with that everyday for a few weeks, then with that and his harness for a week, then both but with the leash hooked to the harness for a week, then just the harness and he almost completely stopped pulling.
It's been years since we did that and only recently has he started to get a little pull-y and I've warned him that I'm going to have to dig it out if he keeps it up.
I think this might be it. I have a similar one, my cat loves it but it seems the one in the video is a little easier to drink from.
The fountains have saved my sanity, because she refuses to drink from a bowl without splashing and tipping it over. She will also delicately climb on top of the fountain and stand on it to get my attention when it breaks (not often, and easy to fix).
I got this one, so my cats would have some variety to choose from - they love all of the rotating balls, but have shown zero interest in the yellow bump-looking thing:
The catnip balls I found on Amazon has a few types. There’s catnip, silverside, and gallfruit. Your cat might like one of the other two! https://www.amazon.com/Potaroma-Silvervine-Catnip-Healthy-Cleaning/dp/B09GB4TVGD
I believe this is the one for those that are interested: https://www.amazon.com/Behaviour-Evolution-Cognition-Adam-Miklosi-dp-0198787774/dp/0198787774/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
This is a Goughnut dog toy. It's more squishy than most of the "tough" toys out there but now that I think about it, it's one of the few that has remained undamaged so far. That said, unless he's doing stuff like this, he doesn't chew this one as much.
His favorite ones to chew are the Monster K9 dog toys. I won't say he's never made a dent in them but the damage has been minor and he chews them all the time. They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee, so if he ever does destroy one at least we'll get a new one.
this looks like a pretty similar thing. I don't have it though. Not sure if it works as well.
Like this?
As I have now learned, lasers are frustrating to some cats so I would consider that before getting it!
It's a percussion massager which is not the same as the magic wand vibrating massager that is often used as an aid for personal satisfaction.

Buy one of these. They're cheap, and It's MUCH better than the cone. Your doggo will thank you.
My dog always seems to get them too, not sure how but we would keep coming home finding chew marks all over the rag. I get these now and get rid of the rubber part and slide the tag onto her collar.
How about putting the printer in one of thoses large wire dog kennels?
A lightweight piece of wood over the top would her her a place to sit or lay down. Or clear plasic/acrylic so she can look through it.
I was impressed with it's quality! But it doesn't dampen the noise. I've got a Creality CR-6 SE and I got the small one. I've got a mod that holds the Spool of filament on top, and there's a top flap that allows the Spool to stick out, but if I had the room I would have bought the next size up because it's a little tight inside.

I have 3 feeders. One shaped like a little house that both birds and squirrels can enjoy and two that shut off the openings when the weight of a squirrel is added (like this https://www.amazon.com/Squirrel-Squirrel-proof-Perches-0-98-pound-Capacity/dp/B001FK81PU/).
This works amazingly well. The squirrels keep to the one feeder and scrounge on the ground under the others and we have more birds than ever before. I love seeing them all hanging out together, it makes me feel like Snow White.
No but you're being awfully hostile about something as trivial as the language we use to refer to a lizard.

In Italy the most common solution is something like this:
I use a wobbler for my dog, who is also not known for being patient. It's been 3 years and still gets used pretty much daily (though for snacks instead of meals now), and she still loves it.

My cat used to sit on the window sill although it's not as wide as yours, now she's there every day :) it's her main bed.
That’s why I got one of those buns with a screw on lid. A VAULT for high tech security.
This or any of the 80 identical-looking clones of it. A coffee filter isn't the official design, but it fits and works fine.
One downside of this design is that if the power goes out, all the water will drain down and can't be reached. So make sure that you provide alternative water if there's an outage.
We had the Drinkwell 360 Stainless Steel https://www.chewy.com/drinkwell-360-stainless-steel-pet/dp/48105 Maybe it was the tap water 🤷🏽♀️ but one of our cats was developing a sore on her lip (vet called it kitty acne) until we figured it out and stopped using it
It’s pricey to do, but I got two different fountains and two different litter boxes. I have two cats so the recommendation is two boxes anyway, and just like people, sometimes they prefer one over the other for their own reasons. I have an open and an enclosed litter box (they seem to love open pees and enclosed poops) and two different stainless steel fountains. One is this one that I got at a local pet store and is huge because it’s actually a dog one but it’s all they had. The other is this one because my other cat loves running trickles of water, not like moving pools of water. Yes they have me well trained, but I’m happy to them healthy and hydrated.
My cat did this and i tried a few but they were crappy plastic ones. Bought a heavy ceramic one he tried for a few minutes and never tried to knock it over again.
Slant rhymes. You’re welcome ;)
I'm buying these

I'd recommend something like this. It will let the smells out but anchors in the window frame enough to deter the cats.
You should get a neater feeder Neater Feeder Express Elevated Dog and Cat Bowls - Raised Pet Dish - Stainless Steel Food and Water Bowls for Small to Large Dogs and Cats https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CV32JZH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1F4MXMGVSF1AEWF7WS1W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It's probably only slightly less annoying than tinnitus if you listen to it for too long, but when my tinnitus starts driving me crazy I've taken to masking it with this tinnitus neuromodulator ambient noise thing. You can play with the sliders to find the volume level/noise pattern that works best for you.
Haven't tried sleeping with it on though. I tend to play nature sounds like rain (without thunder) and waterfalls. That yoga/meditation binaural shit that's all over youtube works pretty well, too.
