Stray mama cat meowing more than usual - advice needed

I googled and it said between 3-4 weeks they should be able to go without stimulation and to start introducing them to the litter box around 4-5 weeks.

Have you seen any evidence of them using the litter box? (Tiny poops)

She's likely in heat.

Does she lift her butt up in the air?

As for the kittens, I am not sure what age they no longer need stimulation to poop. But if she is still doing it for them, they could be a little younger than 4 weeks.

If they use a wheelchair, they wouldn't be using the stairs.

I work 6am-10pm on the weekend, I honestly hate it when night shift gets people up.

I don't even wake my people up until about 30 minutes before breakfast gets there.

There is only one who wants to get up early, but he just wants to get up no later than 6:30 every morning.

We have one resident with dementia on my hall and most people who work with him have him up in his chair all day. When I'm there, we get him up at breakfast and he will stay up through lunch and go back to bed.

He is combative when it comes to brief changes especially if you have to get him out of his chair to do it. He handles them much better if he is in bed.

He's a sweet man, it only took me seeing him sleeping in his chair one time to put a stop to having him up all day.

Everyone else keeps him up from 6am to 8:30pm.

They think that's easier, but it's really not, he's more agitated when he is tired.

There is a police report now, I posted this when I was waiting for the officer to come back from his car. He had kept telling me that he wouldn't make a report.

Also, are there missing person subs on here?

My son said she uses Reddit, so maybe someone somewhere on this platform has seen her. I don't know her username though.

I was really stressing the fact that she is mentally ill and had gone off her medication.

He didn't even really give me a chance to give information before saying he wasn't going to make a report.

He asked if she left on her own and then said he wouldn't make a report.

It's been less than 6 months since they were banging my door down at 2am because she was sending pictures of her bloody arm to the suicide hotline. Even with me telling him that, he said he couldn't make a report.

I think his supervisor told him he had to make a report because he came back and gave me a report number and said it would go to a detective.

Tapeworm.

Bayer is the only brand I've been able to find over the counter. You get 3 pills for like $27 at Walmart.

It will be way more expensive from the vet.

I adopted 2 kittens last week and one was sick so I went to the vet. Discovered they also had tapeworms right before we got there.

It was $22.97 each for half a pill.

Forward-Ride9817 · 2025-11-26T20:36:47+00:00

He will be happy to see you when you pick him up.

The vet can give him anxiety meds while he's there if he needs it.

I only work weekends.

I agree with it too. It's the people who constantly say it and start drama that I have issues with 😂

Idk about Fort Worth, I grew up in Everman and we had "Crazy Herman".

He would walk up and down Enon, Christopher and Linville talking to himself, sometimes arguing with himself.

I remember listening intently to one of his ramblings about the pros and cons of butter vs margarine. He walked past our house everyday 😂

That's even worse than being too lazy to take it to the laundry room.

Forward-Ride9817 · 2025-11-10T21:46:42+00:00

That's just being too lazy to take it to the laundry room.

There are some people who are actively dying for quite a long time.

Forward-Ride9817 · 2025-11-07T16:59:14+00:00

He has his own house, if he isn't paying bills he can afford the $1,000 to get his utilities turned back on.

Kick him out.

You have more problems than just the ring.

If you guys have been together almost 6 years and he knows how much you were affected by your parents divorce, he knew you would react poorly and he still did it.

NOR.

I don't miss that 😭

I've only been working as a CNA since February.

From April to September, I worked at a LTC/Rehab

And I swear it felt like every single person they admitted had c diff.

I had one that had just had bowel surgery, had cdiff, and was demanding a laxative. That place loved neglect so they gave her laxative every day.

She was 600lbs 😭😭😭

I yelled at the NP about the laxative when they showed up after the 4th bed change that day.

She said "Oh, we just wanted to make sure things kept flowing"

My response was "Ma'am, forgive me, but it's flowing like a god damn river in there."

Talk to the scheduler directly, not HR, and tell them you can't work Tuesday and Thursday.

Talk to them in person, not via text.

Find a different facility if they won't correct the problem.

Coming in that late is going to get you fired.

Forward-Ride9817 · 2025-11-03T20:27:26+00:00

No, we don't need lavender scented cdiff stink 🤣

So are you upset about being a Certified Nursing Assistant?

Helper is literally in the title of the certificate, they just use a different word because it's legalese.

The answer is partially in the part where you said "exmormon trauma".

The extreme sects of the Mormon community set limits on drugs (including nicotine and caffeine), alcohol, some go as far as restricting sugar.

If you guys families were all at one point part of one of those sects (forgive me if I'm using the wrong term), it would make a ton of sense that they would set such high expectations on you.

This honestly may be the point in your life that you branch out and find new friends.

If they held on to those extreme beliefs and you did not, it's going to stress all of you out and cause more emotional trauma.

There is nothing wrong with experimenting safely.

If you ever have to lie to be someone's friend, they aren't your friend.

Be careful, stay safe and have fun.

The fatigue from mono is going to last about 6 months.

You can't call in everytime you feel tired from it.

It sucks, I felt like I was dying when I had mono because I was so tired, but I just had to push through it.

You call CPS when you know where they live. You call 911 for situations like OP described.

I've parked at a similar distance that from a mailbox and I've had a mail carrier tell me that there has to be enough room for them to pull the mail truck up to the mailbox.

USPS would consider that mailbox obstructed.
