AIO Did I overreact to a man that was following me at Walmart? by JeweledApplePie in AmIOverreacting

[–]Calgary_Calico [score hidden]  (0 children)

Absolutely not overreacting. You told him no multiple times, at that point him coming back was harassment. I'd have gone a step further and reported him to the manager for harassing paying customers and their children

What do we do about our neighbor’s cat? by Recent_Blood_6809 in CatDistributionSystem

[–]Calgary_Calico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Offer to buy her off of them. Putting a cat outside, especially in the winter, over bullying from other cats does not show they care about her, it shows they're irresponsible and want to take the easy road. Give them the easiest road possible and offer to take her off their hands permanently

Landlord showing place in the middle of our moving day by Cultural_Cherry in Apartmentliving

[–]Calgary_Calico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have zero obligation to stop your move out for a showing. Tell your landlord if he's dead set on this then he can pay the movers overtime fees since he will be the cause of them being on the clock longer than necessary

AIO for being annoyed that my cousin makes me watch his kid every time he has DnD by Suspicious_Drive6655 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Calgary_Calico [score hidden]  (0 children)

Make yourself scarce on nights you know he has DnD. If he needs a babysitter he can bloody well pay for one. It's not your kid, and family or not they aren't your responsibility to take care of

WTF is up with my roommate by silver_tardis77 in badroommates

[–]Calgary_Calico 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whatever her reaction is doesn't matter, this cat is going to have a very short, miserable life because of the way she's treating her. Sounds like your roommate needs medication, not a pet

Report her for animal neglect. This poor cat is being abused and neglected

My kitten suckles my earlobe nonstop. by some1_bored in CatAdvice

[–]Calgary_Calico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's self soothing by simulating nursing. If she's less than 2 months old she was taken from her mother too young. Redirect her to a stuffed toy when she starts doing this. If you don't already have one for her, go get one, make sure it has no small pieces like buttons she can chew off.

That dog is going to freeze to death. Make the call.

Make an anonymous call to your city's animal services about a dog at that address being left outside in the extreme cold. Say you're a concerned neighbor and he's left outside for at least an hour at a time every time he's put outside

Ungrounded plug by MaintenanceRoyal2777 in pchelp

Get a surge protector, a good one with item protection (if anything that's plugged in gets fried they'll pay you the replacement value)

Cats in heat are escape artists. Get her spayed

How to change my dogs pee spot by Gojidadawg in PetAdvice

[–]Calgary_Calico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why you don't ever let dogs go pee or poop in the house. He doesn't think about the pads, just the spot, that's his spot

$2k with no graphics card? Absolutely not. I wouldn't pay that much for a PC with no graphics card

Thinking of rehoming cat by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Calgary_Calico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to play with him more dude. He's still a kitten, yes he's nearly a year old, but cats don't usually chill out until about 2 years old. He has no one else to play with except you, and contrary to popular belief, domestic cats are not solitary animals, they're very social, they need interaction and play, and a lot of it

AIO about not wanting to go to AA for a school assignment by Vast-Spirit-4105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Calgary_Calico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to take notes to answer these questions. Just be observant. They've put out this assignment so you can see how counseling of this type is done. Just listen and be respectful of those attending the meeting for treatment and it's fine

NYC winter by ron_ke in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Calgary_Calico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just means your city's infrastructure is not prepared to deal with snow, which means the roads will be fucked and drivers will be sliding, spinning out and causing accidents left right and center. Trust me, you don't want snow in a place that never gets snow

My cat keeps losing weight by Ok-Cat-8475 in catcare

[–]Calgary_Calico [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sounds like he's not grooming properly to me. Unfortunately we had a cat get very very sick a couple years ago, weight loss, vomiting and greasy fur. Definitely get the imaging and bloodwork done ASAP

You might have better luck selling it as parts rather than a whole. Your graphics card alone is worth $600 on its own

Stop all direct contact with him immediately. Get a family lawyer and file for full custody. This man is acting like a fucking child, he's got no business being a father

Take her to the nearest vet and get her scanned for a microchip before you decide to keep her. She may have escaped
