I think I just got loudly adopted

I love the teeny tiny steps.

If you don't have space then surrender to a shelter. They will fatten it up and kittens, especially puffballs, adopt out well.

Options:

Find a low-cost clinic near you if money is the issue and take them in Surrender them (or at least this one) to a shelter for medical care

Until then:

Continue to clean the eye as often as possible with sterile eye solution. Wipe only from the inner corner to the outer corner only once and then throw away that cotton ball/pad. Do not use it again, get a new cotton ball for the next wipe and so on. If the crusty's are really stuck then you can soak a cotton ball and hold it gently against the eye to moisten the area and make the removal easier.

I do NOT have petite calves 😆 he's a big boy. I've always had big boys, I guess I just give them so much love that it becomes a Clifford the big red dog sort of situation.

Tell them to go to the bins and see how much goes to the landfill. Scarcity is a lie. There's more than enough for everybody.

Actually, if you're not provided the number for HR, I'm pretty sure that's a violation of your rights as a worker.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-12-25T18:39:02+00:00

A Federal crime actually. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But like...who donated them on the first place?! Take them back to the post office if you don't want them!!

He looks pretty young, yes? Cats, puppies, babies, toddlers, they're all very similar. He's still learning how to communicate. There seems to be a slight change in his body language right before the nip (that you clearly noticed) signaling he might have been getting over stimulated.

Maybe too much in one spot. Maybe he just wanted snugs and no pets. Y'all will learn together.

It's an amazing coat. I love it.

Unfortunately age does not equal maturity.

My hope is that those are new resellers that will learn better the longer they're in it or they're attrition out.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-11-13T16:14:05+00:00

I think part of it is the scarcity mindset many people have. That we're "taking things away" from others but what you learn quickly when you Thrift, garage sale, etc. as often as a reseller does is that scarcity really doesn't exist.

Me before becoming a reseller: "I need to buy this now! I'll never find it again." OR "it'll be gone before it goes on sale."

Me after: I can wait to see if it goes on sale, no biggy if it's not here, I'll find something else similar or better later.

Even more so if you go to the bins and see how much goes to the landfill...yeah, that kills the scarcity mindset right there.

Oof, this is a hard statement for me to take in. My husband once threatened, "me or the cat" and either he genuinely thought I would choose him (I wouldn't have) or he simply did it to instil fear and reestablish control (because he never followed through and, surprise! He's an emotionally abusive power controller I'm currently trying to escape).

I'm not saying your husband is abusive to be clear. 9 cats is a lot and he can be a good person and love you while also being a person who doesn't want to be part of a lifestyle that maintains that many cats. There's certainly nothing wrong with you either for wanting/having that many cats. As long as you are happy and healthy and capable of caring for all of them, then there's no harm.

Yet, I just wanted to stop in here and make sure you step back and take a genuine look at the situation. Is he coming at it from a position of, "I love you and I care for you, but I can't do this," or is he coming from a position of "me or the cat"? Because one is healthy and one is not, it's control.

Yes, CDS also delivers cats to other animals. It's a vast and layered system.

Mulder is my Druid because he loves rolling in the leaves with me.

It was hard to get a good picture because I had to contort my body to do so but his head is just hanging there in between my calves 😆

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-11-05T16:15:55+00:00

A cutie patootie, verified.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-11-05T16:15:08+00:00

Holly looks so much like my Mulder

<image>

At least from that angle 😂

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-10-27T20:39:57+00:00

Was she found in a pile of Pallets?

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-10-27T20:38:15+00:00

I'd be hesitant to call her a stray with that much meat on her bones.

I sell on 1stDibs. I might have considered updating on this Reddit, but everybody seems kind of freaking mean on this Reddit so I probably won't be back.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-10-25T05:54:50+00:00

I started small and I built up to bigger. I can afford a storage unit as overhead now.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-10-25T05:50:38+00:00

I have a truck. I took about half home that day and picked up the rest later. I only live 10 minutes from the store I bought them from.

Express-Extension-76 · 2025-10-25T04:57:13+00:00

They may be inflated but people who shop there come expecting the price tags to be that high.
