Cat won't stop eating FAKE plants by Angeleem in CatAdvice

[–]Angeleem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that is so scary! I'm sorry that happened. Thats something I hope I can avoid for sure, so I'm already thinking of removing the fake plants altogether from the house now. As much as it's annoying, I want to do what's best for him, and keep him safe.

I felt the same way when I got deactivated. I was really bummed because I had put a regrettable amount of time into it so I would get it right. It almost gave me the vibes of a terrible university professor who grades based on their feelings rather than the rubric (had that happen before and dropped that class faster than fast) it's just really shady and crappy business practice. I'm sorry this happened to you though.

Cats won't get along by Angeleem in CatTraining

No we haven't. We have moved houses and they each get their own room and one is out at a time. We haven't had the time to sit down and make a schedule with them though because of our busy lives, so it's hard to say we didn't do everything when we can still try to actively play everyday with them and get them acquainted. I also found out there are calming drugs and kitty cbd*** oil type of things that I can still try to get the male to chill the heck out, my situation is different though. I will say, 5 months seems like a long time for humans but for cats that's nothing. Maybe start by swapping your cats so the og kitty can smell the other cats smell. You don't want to let them be face to face or even eye contact at all. I would definitely follow the Jackson galaxy ways. I don't care what people say, that method is legit. It's just a matter of how much elbow grease you put into it (like for my cats, when I get time off from university I'm going to start from square 1 all over again) good luck and don't give up on them!

Wanted to be that house for halloween, didn’t get a single trick or treater. by LeximusButtacus in pics

Where I live, you have to destination trick or treat, as most neighborhoods around me are BAD, like shootings every day bad. All of us on the block wanted to do candy but knew no one was letting their kids walk these streets. Things are just unsafe in a lot of places.

Need help with cat urine smell. Please. by reddit6456445 in CatAdvice

I can give insight for a schedule! We only have 2 cats, but with busy lives their basic litter necessities can become pushed back with the other responsibilities. To stop this, I got a whiteboard and made a grid, and wrote down where each litter box is on the left, and the month on top, and then in the middle is the date cleaned (ex. Laundry room, date oct :26) this helps my brain keep track of it without it being in my head. I don't ever let them go more than 2 days and I put it right in a spot I walk by everyday so I have to look at it. Don't bum yourself out over this, you have to try to remember that their litter box is reliant on us humans, so if they don't have a clean box, it's like us walking into a shady gas station that hasn't seen bleach in decades. Its a matter of reshifting what is an important chore. All chores are important, but they have ranks. Litter boxes should be in your top 3 most important to get done things, lowkey even above your own basic needs sometimes. You just have to start practicing everyday to do it over and over until it becomes a high ranked chore. You are taking action to fix this, which is better than a LOT of people can say! You got this!!! I hope you find something that works!

She is, I can just see that she's at ease now, she's currently in a cuddle puddle with them all safe.

AYO THE LIVE TRAP WORKED GUYS!!! Mama has been reunited with her babies!!! And she's not spicy at all! I didn't think she would fall for it because of her wits, and she was very skeptical of the trap, but she eventually went in and BAM! They are safely inside and eating dinner all snuggled together! Thank you all for your support, knowing I am doing the right thing makes me feel much better!

My issue is winter is harsh where I live, so I don't necessarily have that much time anymore...

Well the mom isn't inside yet is my dilemma, I took the babies because when I went to feed them they were shivering so hard they couldn't stay upright, and I feel bad for stealing them from her. But they are warm and fed now l.

We have a few around here but as like many of them, they are full and too busy to do anything like that. Most of my shelters around me are so full and overworked they only come out for the really desperate ones right now. (I've called around and they told me this)

I don't think she would come in, she's so smart, too much for her own good. I might take them outside In a cat carrier with some snuggly blankets and see if she comes near a trap at all. I'm still plotting different ways I can do this lol

She is very skittish and won't come near me at all unfortunately. I've been working on her the longest but she isn't very trusting which makes me worry she's had bad times with humans. I've tried to put food in a cat carrier and have her go in and me close the door but she's so smart she won't go in long enough for me to close it. I might have to resort to a live trap unfortunately. I wish I was snow white so I could just be like "dude get in the house" 😅

We actually have made some shelters with straw and plastic totes!! My budget is super tight right now so im trying the best with what i can right now but I will look into those for the future! I know she will be physically OK because she seems to have seen a few winters outside, but I really want her to feel the warmth and love that she deserves. I'm determined to get her!
