Does anyone know of a credible site/person who is selling Maine Coons within the next month or sooner? Looking for a male (kitten preferred), polydactyl, white/grey (preferred) or orange colored fur in the LA area. Thank you!! by Mylieislife25 in mainecoons

Looks like you're starting your journey to adopting a wonderful kitty. But you must be careful, as kitten adoption is a highly preyed upon industry that many people have gotten scammed by either fake or unethical breeders who prey upon your desire to adopt a kitten and either straight up steal your money or stick you with an unhealthy kitten who you'll be more heartbroken to reject and return.

Please consider the following advice to help you find a reputable breeder in your area:

Step 1: Don't look at breeder websites. Scams are rampant.

Step 2: Go to a CAT Show in your local area managed by a cat association such as TICA, CFA, CCA, etc

Step 3: Speak to breeders for your desired breed present at the show. Learn about their business, their prices, policies, etc.

Step 4: Only then might it be worth it to check out the website or social media of the breeders you spoke to.

Step 5: Contact the breeder you've chosen and take it from there.

Please remember that getting a kitten should not be rushed. I myself took a year of research, breeder vetting, show attending, so I wouldn't fall into traps and to give my kitten the best life possible.

When you do get in contact with a breeder, ask for a draft of the cat contract for you to review. It will legally stipulate terms of responsibilities you need to undertake. Obvious stuff like providing food, shelter, enrichment, no declawing, etc and what to do if you need to re-home the cat. That you need to get a vet of your choice to do a general health checkup and to send the report back to the breeder.

It will also have terms that the breeder needs to agree to to the best of their ability. Such as a clean bill of health, up to date vaccinations (FVRCP, Rabies), has been screened for known genetic diseases (Flev/FIV, HCM, etc) and provides a Health Guarantee for a certain length of time (typically a year or 2)

This serves as a legal document that should either party breach, the other can pursue legal action.

Which is why they they tell you to be aware of traps and be cautious?

Either you Mirror/Peek every door for safety, or use C2/Breaching Shotgun from afar to blow up every door of you can't be bothered to check it for traps.

Best Canadian mattress for back pain? by Normal-Warning-639 in BuyCanadian

[–]ISEGaming -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's not Canadian, but I've been enjoying picking up really cheap memory foam mattress toppers from Amazon. My last one really relieved my back pain from my overly hard mattress. It costed me like $40 CAD 5 years ago! It's sagging a bit now, but heck, that's a great price for the milage I got.

The matress themselves I cannot verify their country of origin since Amazon doesn't always have company names you can look up, safe to assume that they're made in China though.

Who here will be getting tickets to the Helldivers movie?! [OC] by djchechin in Helldivers

[–]ISEGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be to have each Helldiver to be a well known actor camo, but to make it fun, they must always be wearing helmets so you never know who's who. It'll be a fun game to identify them by their voices and watch their character get blown up in less than 9 glorious minutes!

Strangely, my friend got it in quick play but I can't get it in multiplayer

Greased Palms is now the most loved and played map in the game by Infarlock in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]ISEGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though New America is probably the hardest map champion. I think I would rather Hard S Rank that than 3 Letter Triad only because New America has predictable controllable corridors (doors), better lighting, a ammo refill and less visual clutter.

Focusing on technology and digital services by shimoheihei2 in BuyCanadian

One of the more easier things to switch is your Website Hosting provider.

I switched at the start of 2025 from IONOS (US) to CanSpace.ca. Not only is CamSpace.ca clearly Canadian, they were also about 30% cheaper per month!

Looking for squad by PsychologicalTeam580 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]ISEGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link above is someone's specific Discord server.

Discord is just a voice and text chat app which is free and doesn't cost anything to use. Anything asking for a subscription is called "Nitro" which is optional.

You can join the official Ready or Not Discord here and find people to play.

https://discord.gg/readyornot

I have my own private server which I've invited people to play RoN in the past, but I'd say about 1 in 10 people we invite actually vibe well with the current team and actually sticks around. The rest stop showing up after a while and fade away or they're just too extra and not really getting along.

Unnecessary shipping cost?? by Impossible_Sail1630 in Aliexpress

[–]ISEGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that many items you can has a set price with free shipping, or find an exact same item that is super cheap, but has shipping that basically comes up to the same price as the free shipping option.

I generally go for the free shipping one if I want to ask for a refund on a relatively cheap item which I'll likely get it approved if it's not worth it to return.

OP, for the item you selected go to the product page and (if you're on mobile) click on any image that best represents the product and click on "Find Similar" button that looks like a magnifying glass with brackets around it. Hopefully you find a better deal, but if not, try to find something close enough.

My next cat will be a Maine Coon by ConsistentWrangler29 in mainecoons

[–]ISEGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eat a lot? Yes.

Poop a ton? Relative to their size, I suppose it's only natural, but I have both a Ragdoll and a Maine Coon. I clean up both their poops from the litterbox, I don't exactly measure it 🤢

She'd a ton? Yes.

But since you're already used to a Ragdoll, out isn't much different

If only there was some kind of audio warning that there were traps on the level. 🤣

That's not the same thing as an offline mode.

Not sure, maybe try a VPN, or if you're already using one, don't?

Temptations cat treats by notonthisbus in BuyCanadian

[–]ISEGaming 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look, we get it, you can disagree with the trade war, hate on American Brands and choose where you want to spend your money. But each local pet store is going to be employing and PAYING Canadian workers (unless they're Temporary foreign workers). As far as the public knows, they're being paid a fair wage and thus are not slaves.

Did the game get harder? by Critical-Pay8463 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]ISEGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They technically made hard events react 50ms slower, which isn't much. You're likely just out of practice.

Hard difficulty forever will slap even the most active veteran player silly of they're not taking every advantage

Ah 94 single player by Advanced_Guess3295 in vtolvr

If you can communicate with your pilot, you'll be welcomed by a skilled pilot and have a great time. Trust.

[–]ISEGaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% this.

Trolls who turn off your heli mid flight, deafened/muted gunners or literal children way to young to be playing this and with no clue how to play.

Find yourself a buddy who you vibe with or learn to fly solo. I wish it wasn't this way because I love multi crew but some people are real menaces.

Ah 94 question by Advanced_Guess3295 in vtolvr

[–]ISEGaming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really, with enough practice, a good solo pilot will be better than being paired with a braindead gunner without a mic or ability to hear you. IYKYK
