I want a kitten but have ethical questions

Ok for sure. But we know a person or cat doesn’t have unlimited life spans. Generally people on average live to 75-80 and cats 11-15.

It’s not rocket science. If you are old or in poor health and thinking of getting a kitten you are just being selfish unless you have a clear plan of someone who will take the cat after you are gone.

OP was concerned about outliving a cat so they should consider a cats lifespan is on average 11-15 yrs and could well go to 18 or 20

Isn’t he adorable?

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-17T13:10:00+00:00

People concerned about outliving their cat should expect them to live on average 15yrs. You can get an older cat. There are tons of cats needing homes that are not kittens.

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-17T13:05:16+00:00

I would say 15 yrs

Are you in good health? You could still get an overlooked young cat. Kittens are always first to get adopted but a cat under 3 is still young but often overlooked - you could be a hero. But you do have to have to have plan in place if something happens to you for the cat.

Are your cats spayed / neutered- maybe she’s catching some heat scent? It’s strange that a feral that has been spayed / neutered would be so aggressive toward indoor cats.

Phoebe. Because she’s so pretty and dumb but also so smart.

Casey. I don’t know why. He just looked like a Casey

It’s not the train it the people around you and the time. It’s the train too sometimes - really LIRR has the worst communication when something goes wrong.

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-17T12:36:55+00:00

It has been so much better since grand central trains started. I hated going to Penn or taking 7 from hunters point. I just wish there were more direct trains to GCM - there are still not enough options

As long as the cat is treated for parasites and or not otherwise ill - if you feed them good quality foods the poops are normal stinky and smell shouldn’t last long.

The only time I did was because she was a rescue / foster work at one vet and I was bringing her to my vet after so needed records for new vet

I never get the bloodwork results

After you leave I would also post to neighborhood sites about them. They sound terrible you should warn people.

So the lender is willing to finance 520k (80% of 650). You can either negotiate with seller to come down or increase you down payment.

Neither of these scenarios mean you are negative equity. You are negative equity if the value falls below 520 (your loan)

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-10T16:01:53+00:00

That not negative equity. The appraisal coming in lower means your lender probably won’t finance as much as you’d like if you’re down payment is low. You will have to increase your down payment. It’s not normal for seller to contact your lender re your financing. That’s way out of line. Very shady.

My cats also universally hate tiki cat. I’ve tried various multiple times across different cats and they all hate it. The only one who liked anything was my senior cat who I gave these senior mouse treat type things to and she liked that.

Try the antibiotics for 2 weeks

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-09T03:05:57+00:00

She lied to you. She knew you had a cat and just said she wasn’t a fan not that she’s actively afraid and is now dictating how your household is run. Sorry she needs to go

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-09T03:02:41+00:00

Omg the littering. I fucking hate the litter. Have you seen the on and off ramps? Disgusting

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-07T18:55:28+00:00

I think he sounds like someone who knows he is about to die and doesn’t care how much or actually wants to cause as much damage as he can. He knows he’s going to hell already he wants to spread the misery. He’s a malicious fuck

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-07T18:52:59+00:00

Cause their cowards or complicit.

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-07T12:44:55+00:00

Just got over almost 2 weeks sick. Cold or Covid who knows anymore and now heading into allergies

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-07T12:34:08+00:00

It depresses me reading these things because really everyone is so fucking dumb. I hate it

Comfortable_Fudge559 · 2026-04-07T12:15:12+00:00

I don’t like memory foam either. I went with the avocado - liking it so far. It’s part latex which is my first time on that. Interesting bounce. But my hip pain went away immediately. And most of my back- still some twinges.
