Anybody Have Any Tips On How To Make My Cat Less Scared Of My Padding? The Plastic Moving When I Fluff

Anybody have any tips on how to make my cat less scared of my padding? The plastic moving when I fluff or move them scares her and I figured she would just get used to it after a bit, but it's been like 3 months now 24/7 I think, and she still acts terrified of them. Shes less scared of the ones I'm wearing or at least somewhat tolerates them as long as I don't mess with them around her, but I feel bad about going from my cat basically living in my room to being scared of being in it. I would put them away and only take out what I need but I don't have enough space to store them that is hidden because I live in a broom closet lol.

Gotta say, movie nights are significantly better while padded. Getting to watch like three episodes at once with my snacks without ever having to get up from being cozy is a very good improvement. Also, Dexter is a pretty good show, I'm probably gonna finish at least the main series.

Not me feeling big and putting on a pulley after I woke up just to have an accident and need to change within the hour 😣

I'm jus glad it wasn't padding I'd have to stay in a while, woulda been a bad start to the day lol

I've been such a big girl lately and im both really proud of myself and annoyed I have to act big at the same time. You guys remember those polls I did about what I should buy next, well here's the update on how much my life has changed in those few weeks.

Firstly, I bought a baba, it's one from rearz, its long glass bottle with a little plastic cap that covers a removable nipple and has pretty dinos and dragons on it.

Secondly, I no longer work at burger king, I have an online job which pays more but requires talking to people litterally constantly so my social anxiety hates, which means more megas than m4s and lots more pretty padding and onesies and stuff

Thirdly, ya know how I leaked not that long ago, well I ordered some washable bed pads/changing pads from Northshore and these things are definitely a good purchase, idk how much they hold, but they feel super high quality and are litterally larger than my bed, which is amazing bc it's basically like I'm laying on a thin full body pillow, I'm much less worried about leaks overnight in the future now, cuz even if they do happen it'll only really be on superficial stuff I can easily wash.

Fourth, I finally got devrom and I do recommend it, I've been trying it out over the last week or two and I highly recommend. It's not some miracle thing, but it does do exactly what it says it will do, which is better than half the products out there.

Fifth, I experimented with different sizes and figured out that medium megas are the closest fit I'll get if not a little loose, large pulleys fit better than medium, and medium m4s are like still the perfect tight fit for discreet wear.

Lastly, I have covid agian, so im sad to say no Halloween party for me this year, which I'm very very sad about.

Id say at least three of those things somewhat relate to being responsible, mainly just the job one, but I feel better knowing I'm more prepared and knowledgeable about my options for later either way

I really need to stop changing immediately when I wake up feeling big, or at least put on lighter padding. Being messy all morning for the past two days has made it start to get old lol

I'm thinking of doing another hold on the 15th to see how good I can do still. I plan to turn these holds into a bimonthly challenge to help better map any real changes to my control over time.

I honestly don't expect much to change except that I cant hold it as long, but this will fulfill my desire for desperation that pops up every few weeks in a way that still plays into tracking my unpotty training, so regardless it's still a decent plan lol.
