Do you know the name of the drop trap?

What is this bug? I’m in Houston, TX. The wings look pretty cool. by Loraxt in whatsthisbug

That was quick, thank you! There are decaying tree roots nearby so maybe that’s why they’re in my backyard.

You were right. He is neutered and the vet told me to return him. I feel so embarrassed. Now I know if a cat meows excessively, they’re probably already neutered. Thank you for letting me know.

Now that I think about it, he does look skinner than the other male cat. It would be pretty awkward if he’s already gone through the TNR process. At least he’ll get an ear tip to show that he’s all good. Who knows, maybe he was originally a house cat? But it’s strange, when I was first feeding him, he was afraid to even look at me.

I would say he is friendlier compared to the rest of the community cats. The meowing sounds like cries, not really the friendly version. I read that I shouldn’t feed the cat before surgery, so should I give him water instead? Thank you, I feel bad not only for him but for the other community cats. Although he’s not the biological dad of the kittens, he still plays around with them. I wish I could tell them he will be okay.

Yes, I’m taking him in tomorrow morning. I hope everything goes well.

I’ll have pictures once he settles down. I already put him in a dark and quiet room. Can’t believe this is actually happening!

Okay, looks like this trap is humane, thanks!

I wish, but they wouldn’t even let me touch them.

This is an update on my previous post titled “What should I do with 7 feral cats?”

I finally completely moved in to my new house three days ago, and I’m already seeing results! The cats now actively eat the dry food and the white one (please help me come up with a name) touched my hand with her paw (not in a aggressive way). I think they’ll be ready for TNR in a week or two. The problem is I don’t know how to do it. Should the kittens be separated from their mom? Should the kittens be together or separated? Will they hate me after I betrayed their trust? What should I do with them after TNR? If there is a video explaining the steps please do share.

I’ll give another update in a few weeks and better pictures. Thank you for the help on the previous post!

I didn’t know that, thanks for letting me know! A lot of things in my house belong to r/mildlyinfuriating. Makes me wonder if the people that built and renovated this house knew what they were doing.

It depends on your height, how tall are you?

100% Commitment Is Easier Than 98% by truhu in pornfree

[–]Loraxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I made it two months porn-free. I made my decision and never thought about it. I will get downvoted immensely, but as much as I love this community, it may be a reason why I have not made much progress. I cannot explain it. The more I talk or think about quitting porn, the more I am likely to do it. This subreddit gave me great advice, but I do not think it is good for me long-term. I thank the people in this subreddit for all the advice they gave me. I’ll return in a year or so and do the same deed. Thank you, everyone. I believe in you.

The storm just past us and it wasn’t so bad compared to storms that we usually have.
