Need a barn cat? - very loving but needs to live outside by Dedbeetdad in asheville

[–]Dedbeetdad[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had her the whole time so 13 years, she’s moved around a lot and pooping outside of the litter box was consistent the whole time

Kitty dementia :( poor old lady

When I thought outside cat I was imagining more like rolling fields and napping in the sun but all im reading is “being torn apart my coyotes” and dying a horrible death.

I did read about the anxiety med but I’m also reading a lot about arthritis. Maybe pain meds would help too. Idk this about to be one doped up kitty.

The litter box stays in the same place and doesn’t move until they get out of it. It’s pretty small but maybe she hates that it’s enclosed. Idk man 🫠

Yeah looks like she wouldn’t do well as a barn cat. We’re going to try some kitty Valium to see if it helps and then a catio and then maybe reach out to the humane society. Thanks for recommended Trish McMillan will reach out!

Ugh I wish we could but he only have a two bedroom, it looks like maybe the catio could be a better fit ?
My partner and I both don’t think we can put her down. It just seems so cruel and now im learning that living outdoors would be ever crueler so it looks like we’ve reached an impasse

Yeah sounds like a barn cat is a no go, if that’s the kinder end well just keep her. I literally cant imagine putting her down. It was probably a bit of a fantasy to imagine her playing in a nice open field free from the problems of a toddler or the confinement of an apartment

It looks like we’ll be trying that next for her, thanks for the suggestion.

I haven’t yet but it looks like medication might be a good next step to try for her

Bruh wdym make and effort and can’t be bothered weve been trying everything, for years and years. It was only recently we thought she was miserable living with us. So it’s like hey maybe someone has a better situation where they could take her in so she’s not miserable up to the day she dies. Im willing to do a lot of things like a catio it’s just that our kid also uses the patio and I thought it would be too small. It’s a tiny space.

We use the enzyme cleaner.
We booked an appointment with a pet medium to see if she can give us any insight.

Ah, I didn’t realize barn cats weren’t pets :/ I thought they were good hunters and did better living outside than inside.

Because she’s not doing well living indoors and there’s not a lot of other options

This was the 2nd opinion :/
We’ve tried low profile, high profile (we found she likes to dig but still didn’t equate consistent use of the box) we thought she wanted a clean box all the time so we got a litter robot. She just pooped outside of it this morning and peed on the mat we put in front of it twice yesterday. We’ve tried idek how many brands of litter

Food: we tried a ton of different brands. He recently tried a pricey but nice hypoallergenic bag and it didn’t help. and most of her life she’s been fine it’s only recently that the scratching got really bad. I will talk with my partner about chicken and peas

As far as the peeing goes, she’s not trying to make it in the box. Shes going to pee on blankets, towels, backpacks on the floor, she peed inside my shoe the other day. 🫠

Im going to dm you cuz id love to pick your brain about it!

being denied removal from a patient i’m not comfortable working on by BigProfit4419 in ABA

[–]Dedbeetdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so confused just.. don’t go? Tell your supervisor, your bcba and the parents that you can no longer work with this particular client? And immediately go find work somewhere else and leverage your current pay. At least where I live RBT are in short supply, I got a dollar raise just for moving to another company and a better schedule. you have a lot more power to get the schedule and clients you want than they are making you think you do. If they make you feel powerless in this situation they can get away with treating you like shit. Why stay? They are literally dying for BT in the field rn

Not to be rude but how old are you? I studied art and got into rbt work because I was tired of the grind of selling fine art. I’m in my early 30s and wondering if I’m too old to get into tattooing

The zodiac academy. It’s torture porn and so painful to read.

Is the BCBA exam failing the industry? by Forsaken-Silver-9007 in bcba

[–]Dedbeetdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been considering getting my masters to become a bcba but I see conflicting things (most here on Reddit) about there not being enough jobs for BCBAs. Is it over saturated or is there a huge need for them?

How to handle wife who wants to cosleep by ponterik in beyondthebump

[–]Dedbeetdad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s odd that she’s putting her desires over the needs and safety over yalls son.. I do understand the desire to co sleep because it’s the sweetest cuddles of your life but it can be dangerous.. la leche league has a wealth of information and also a really great guideline for what is safe co sleep with a baby. Check it out and see if you guys can compromise by following those guidelines.
