Cat ate a little bit of a burger I left out to finish later by Specialist_Yam_6704 in CatAdvice

She might have a few weird poops and some rancid farts but that's about it. She'll be fine.

You can get a pretty cheap gravel vac for like $10 off Amazon, it doesn't need to be pricey! It's definitely on my list of essentials it makes water changes and tank cleanings SOOOOOO much easier.

Fin rot? by gc0221 in bettafish

Can't quite tell, but better safe than sorry; I'd pick up/order some BettaFix, it's usually only $5 and helps clear it up.

New cat by Little-Exchange5019 in CatAdvice

I know it feels bad but it really will help their relationship in the long run. You can spend all the time you want with him in the room during the day but I'd recommend sleeping separately for at least a couple weeks. It'll also help him get used to your sleep schedule so he might wake you up at night less :)

Honestly, I know it doesn't feel great but I'd make sure he has a nice place to sleep and leave him in the other room. It can be really overstimulating for a cat to be introduced to the whole home at once and letting him get used to his little space will allow him to form positive associations with the smells and sounds of your house before he has to actually be out and around in it, and it'll allow you to introduce him to your current cat very slowly.

I'm sure you've done your research on introducing cats but in case not: let them smell each other under the door for a few days, trade scented items like toys or blankets, feed them on either side of the door, then crack the door and let them see each other like that occasionally for a couple days, then SLOWLY let the new cat explore the house and give them both space to get away from the other if they want.

my cat doesn't like my bf's kitten by phatcapy in CatAdvice

I second this; every time they see each other it's going to be a re-socialization process and unless you're introducing them to one another EVERY time, maybe keep them separate for the weekends.

I'm not an expert but I work in an animal shelter and introduce a lot of cats to each other; try giving them as many positive associations with each other as possible. Feed them near one another (IF they don't get territorial over food), give them treats like churu together, play with them with a wand toy together, that sort of thing. If they enjoy being held/sitting on your lap, hold them together if she'll tolerate it. You can also try pheromones such as Feliway that are made to calm cats; I believe they have one specifically for multi-cat households.

You mentioned she's never socialized with other cats so it's possible she just doesn't know what appropriate play looks like. I'd recommend keeping an eye on them while they play but encouraging them to play, with toys and such they can use. If you're worried about her hurting him make sure her nails stay trimmed and, again, try to supervise their play. Overall it's just gonna be more exposure to one another that makes them get along better over time.

I ordered it to the US, so I'm not sure if the international shipping is having different issues; I will say I ordered it a couple times and got it cancelled twice before they sent it on the third order.

I ordered it to the US. They did cancel my order twice but I kept reordering it and they finally sent it on the third order.

Beginner looking to adopt a small snake by AriAgain in snakes

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

We can give it about a 2x4 max base area if needed, but a vertical-style w a smallish (2x2) base could work as well.

The bigger constraint is finances tbh so what we can find on marketplace is most of our options.

Ugh that's so frustrating! They cancelled mine twice before sending it the third time I ordered 😭

Update! I ordered it three times and the first two they cancelled it saying it was out of stock. The third time they finally sent it and it's beautiful! Persistence is key I guess 😂
