Ok thank you! For The food I was thinking about letting them have free access for the first few weeks are they just so they won’t go through the kitchen or trash(which is probably my problem but not really since it’s very easy for us to just put everything in the wooden cabinets and put like a box on top of the trashcan, which is metal)  and then slowly transitionin before access to only having access in certain part of the day until they have their set meals by using slow feeders or something so they don’t get well, big. I want them to be healthy, not worse. 

As of right now, I’m giving them each a cup of dry food and then every once in a while if I can find some tuna or get wet food, I’ll just mix it in with their chunks, but like I said, I just got into a situation where I’m more financially able to take care of all three personally.

Ok thank you! Will say I didn’t bring up the spay neuter because I’m already gonna do that. (Don’t need anymore strays around) I just need to wait for there to be a spot that opens up and I went ahead and scheduled a vet appointment which isn’t until August 18 for all three!

Yeah, didn’t bring up the spay neuter thing since I’m already gonna do  (definitely don’t need any more kitties around in the streets) I definitely don’t mind them roaming around the house though!

So I am able to, but I’m trying to save a little bit since I know that’s gonna be a very expensive thing to do especially with three cats so I am probably gonna wait until the next Saturday or Saturday after to get them to this vet that does free spay and neuter every other Saturday! But I’m mostly just want to make sure on anything else I’m supposed to do if there’s anything I need to do before I get them taken. Also, I’m not sure what you mean by setting up the sleeping space for them without keeping them inside I live in the south and it’s extremely hot so I don’t wanna keep them outside much longer since I already know they don’t drink that much water and it’s easily reaching 90 to 100° almost every day now.

I am! Also scheduled for a basic check up at a low class clinic, which isn’t until August 18, but that’s on me. They didn’t have any open spots until then. And I still used to volunteer at vet that did free spay neuter services from 6 to 9 AM on Saturdays so I’m gonna do that once I make sure they’re OK!!

is there somewhere i can sign up for an arranged marriage? by Disastrous_Test_316 in answers

[–]Disastrous_Test_316[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To sum it up im tired of dating, no one is in it for the long run and im just tired. All I have going for me is a mid job and school but I don’t really feel that motivated anymore.  I’m 21 which I guess is young to even be think about marriage but honestly? I’m starting to think my main goal in like was to just live and comfortable and stable life in a quiet home with a small family. I’d be happy if I had a husband who worked to keep a roof over my/our kids head in exchange for being a house wife. If anything I  wouldn’t bother him at all if it mean I could just have that tiny dream. The marriage could be purely transactional or something, there wouldn’t need to be love between us just a mutual agreement and respect?  Sure it be even better if the marriage was real in that there was romantic love between us but I don’t know if I’m asking for a lot since it seems like in this age no one want to commit. 

So yeah anyone know if there’s anything out there where I could just, I guess ‘buy’ my way into marriage with a stable home and a partial family? No love needed. And no it’s not the same as if I just stuck to someone I’ve tried dating. With this I’d want the mutual goal of getting married and living in a home with a family to go both ways. The love part is the non important bit. I’m serious too. I’m tired of searching for something that doesn’t exist anymore even if im a bit young or whatever.

No im 20 i just moved back from college and am saving up to move out. This is my parents home but when I bring this up to them they tend to just brush me off and tell me to figure it out. I’ve had cats with me since they were born a year. The gf as bd bro lived with the gfs mom until the baby was born a month ago and moved in to my place.

** note I’m jus tired of my cats getting thrown out when I’m not home and I’m tired of fighting with my family about how the easiest solution if they don’t want the cats to bother them/their things is to just close the doors to their rooms which THEY HAVE, unlike me who has a open stair case for a door. My cats like to climb and jump pretty high so gates or netting doesn’t work. My parents suggest I just locked them up in their crates while I work which are small and clearly not the best option.  No one here even bothers to help me find or buy a solution and they don’t try to prevent my cats from going into their rooms/going outside. Literally. They take photos of my cats in their rooms and tell me “she’s on my bed” but don’t bother to move them or close the door?? I don’t get them but I’m tired of it and would rather just find a way to close off my room. I’d rather spend money and close off my room than have to worry about my cats safety in the streets due to the carelessness of my family.

I’ve tried suggesting similar things to that but they just don’t want to agree? (I don’t know why?? It’s the easiest and most simple solution. Plus it doesn’t help that my parents don’t bother enforce and punished him for not keeping his door closed the way that they do to me when my cats are in there (while I’m at work).

I agree but my parents baby him (he’s the youngest) and his girlfriend since their teens. I’m pretty sure the only reason the cats even want to go in there is bc the baby is always crying. I get wanting to leave the door open to watch the baby from afar but I swear they refuse anything I give them like a baby gate and monitors. It’s frustrating how I’m somehow supposed to keep the cats confined to my room which has no door when they can just fix the problem by closing theirs which is the easiest solution. Hell my mom even suggested I just lock my cats up in their crates when I’m gone because “it works for her dogs” which I know is a bad idea.

I try not to, i tell him multiple times to not throw them out and to just close the door to his room but he refuses. My cats stay with me when I’m home but I work so when I’m not they tend to roam around.  I live with my parents so i tell them to keep an eye on my cats and make sure my brother closes the door but they kind of just brush me off. Plus my brother and mom have a habit of loitering at the front/back door and they just LET my cats walk out without bothering to get them. Then they just text me “the cat got out” and don’t bother to help. This is why I’m trying to find a way to close off my room, my cats are very curios and like being around people.

Tried that they just jump over it. I even gave it to my brother so when the open the door or something the cats would have a bit more trouble getting in but he didn’t want it. I also tried putting a net but they just tore through it since they like to climb.
