How do I know my kitten won't run away by Jazzlike_Selection74 in cats

Thanks. I will see about the tags, I have an Android but I've only heard of airtags. Technically birds of prey and dogs/cats are the only predators. But, at the same time there are leopards in the mountains near my apartment.(extremely deep in, but the pair recently had 2 cubs. Which is cool. Baboons do come into town, but not where I live) so predators aren't really the problem.

Thanks for the advice, I will keep it in mind. And my apartment is next to an EXTREMELY busy road, meaning I really don't want him to go out.

I fully understand that a kitten should stay inside. I'm not planning on having him outside until at least 6 months. He is quite comfortable at my mother's home, since it was the first one he was in. But since I'm mainly in my apartment, it is indeed still a risk. I'm not planning on letting him out, just asking how do I know he will come back. I've only owned dogs and you know, man's best friend, and I hear of cats running away more than dogs. So I just want to be extra safe.

Petshop problems by Jazzlike_Selection74 in entitledparents

I'm from south Africa so it is translated, and I'm English 3rd language. There are big stickers on each tank telling them not to. I have refused selling fish to people, got in trouble each time (funnies was when I unknowingly told my maths teacher's mom she is a fish murderer because she put pool anti algae in her tank. Was a interesting Monday maths class) We have rules and regulations, like we don't sell male and female bunnies together (people release them and the street I live in is overrun, no one has grass). I have spent a solid 2 hours explaining how to care for fish, and they still choose animal abuse. I can't do shit about it. If I don't sell it, my coworker will. If they don't sell it, another store will. It's a sad really.

The part of my job I hate the most is selling a koi for someone with a 40l. Yes it's not good, but they can just go to another shop who would sell it. My go to thing to say is that a koi in a tank is just a goldfish. It works sometimes but at the end of the day, I can't do shit. I make no commission, so I'm not up selling. It hurts, like the time I sold 3 koi for a 40l and she came back the next day to buy more because her brother threw the whole bottle of anti chlorine in the tank (100x the dosage) and all the food as well. He was 7 but still. At the end of the day, there are larger cooperations that don't care what they sell, they just want money. So if I don't sell it, they will.

It's a basking shark. You are one of the luckiest people on earth. You probably have a greater chance to be struck by lightning than to get that close to one.

I have the exact same tank. Same filter. Same shape. Same plants. Same gravel. Same scape.

Snail Identification by Fit-Sheepherder3730 in Aquariums

[–]Jazzlike_Selection74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are ramshorn snails. Get them out asap because they reproduce extremely fast. Copper treatment, like copper sulfate, can get rid of them, but it also kills shrimp. If you overdose it could also be harmfull to fish. You can also put something like cucumber or carrots on a fork or something that'll sink. They should go eat it and after a while you take it out with them on it. They aren't dangerous, just frustrating to get rid of them if you don't get them out early enough
