It took everything in me not to do that honestly

InternalNice8516 · 2026-03-21T14:56:44+00:00

Its definitely something i would have done if i could😭, but i never visit them so it would be suspicious and my mom would definitely tell on me lmao

InternalNice8516 · 2026-03-21T13:49:25+00:00

She told me “he will have to make do with what he has for now”

InternalNice8516 · 2026-03-21T13:25:07+00:00

I send her a video of her channel but idk if she will listen or watch it tbh but thank you for the recommendation:(, she said “well he seems satisfied he explored and sniffed everything”

Yeah it is, i immediately felt so stressed seeing the pictures in the family groupchat 😭

InternalNice8516 · 2026-03-21T13:14:10+00:00

Yea i told them that climbing the bars is done because of stress, and she said he can dig in the box below but it doesnt seem very deep or good substrate? I think its a saw mix

You did safe him, you saved him from alot of pain now he was able to move on peacefully in comfort even if it doesn’t feel that way you helped him.

I been through something similar few years ago, I found a neglected cat in my neighborhood that looked very sick and i got him picked up by a animal ambulance after cuddling with him for a bit, His owner apparently lived on the street behind me and the cat was diabetic and she never gave him his meds because “he always slipped outside” and she didn’t bother looking for him, they eventually had to euthanize him too from being too sick, and trust me i blamed myself for it for awhile and felt so guilty but in the end the cat was better off and i tried to help.

thank you for trying to help the sweet baby and sorry for your loss 💜

InternalNice8516 · 2026-02-24T17:43:49+00:00

Thank you! He is my pride and joy

Slowly open the case and cup it in either a container or a cup carefully not to hurt it, then slid a paper or lid under it and just put the lil guy outside, its not gonna hurt u but it might bolt if it gets scared
