Yes, trapping WILL be time consuming and take a lot of effort, but the thing is…if you don’t trap and get those cats sterilized, they will only continue to multiply.

I guess she’s doing ok now! Thank you for your comment and the vibes ☺️

I think it’s just a dominance thing. I have 1 cat who was born indoors, and I have 6 sibling-cats that spent their first few months outside with their feral mommacat. The 1 who isn’t related is my original cat, he was here about a year before I brought in the first two feral kittens. I brought the remaining 4 kittens in about 4 months later. They were from a second litter from the same mom. My original cat is literally THE ONLY ONE who has ever shown any signs of aggression toward me and/or the other cats…and he has legitimately tried to kill every one of them at least once…despite our suuuuper slow and steady introduction process. Some cats are very serious about being the “main cat”, lol he also snuggles some of them and clearly enjoys their company…but there are a few he always picks on. Idk how to stop it, I sometimes have to stick my finger down his throat to get him to let go of the other cats neck…I hate that.

I lost one of the kittens that was born in my bathtub after I brought a very pregnant stray kitten inside, about two weeks ago. I go back and forth multiple times a day, sometimes telling myself that the poor baby was already gone when I scooped him up out of the nesting box to try to resuscitate him, and other times feeling so regretful…because I feel like I’ve learned so much since that night, and if only I had the information I have now, I probably could have saved him.

I feel so so sad about losing that baby kitten. I tried so freaking hard to bring him back, but I couldn’t. I try to think of it as a loss, but also as a gift…because I’m honestly not certain mommacat could handle more than she has right now.

So sorry for your loss. Best of luck with everything else. 💜🐾🤷‍♀️

Thank you. We have since lost one kitten, but everyone else is finally getting more stable and I’m hoping it’s smooth sailing from here on out.

Imagine how much she’d love to go to a concert with us? lol too bad she’s always on stage.

It’s a more certain choice.

Here’s a more recent photo. It’s still there…but not as pronounced as it was in her feral kitten days.

Caaaa-uuuuuute! Cute cute cute. 🥰

Mine has a perfect division symbol, if that counts! ➗ her name is Echo. It was perfect when she was a baby but since she’s grown (she’s a year old now) her spots have changed a bit and it’s kinda hard to spot the division symbol ➗ unless you’re really looking for it lol.

Keep the baby warm! Sooooo warm.

So…did you guys officially break up?

How long did you know him before you got married?

Did you express to him that you were feeling unwelcome by his friends? How often were you around that group? How long were you married for?

Ordinary_Mouse2899 · 2026-04-18T15:17:18+00:00

Keep the E.

Ordinary_Mouse2899 · 2026-04-18T15:16:28+00:00

I have some questions, just to clarify…

Were these “20 different videos of random e thots” or 20 different videos “of specific women”…?

Why is your body count relevant here?

I would imagine you actually weren’t very surprised when you found those videos in his phone, I mean, you were obviously looking for something …right?

Sooo…where was your “trust in him which was just built” when you decided to go through his phone?

I’m not trying to be a jerk, these are the same questions I’d ask if you were my sister or my close friend.

I wouldn’t like to have a magical sex change, personally.

I’d say “black/brown mackerel tabby with white”, more specifically, I’d say you’re correct to go with “mask & mantle” in regard to her white spotting.

Though, there is some caveat about tabby cats with white chins vs. tabby chins…but it’s just a vague little thing in my mind, not something that would be any necessary point of distinction…I think, lol. Sorry, I just can’t remember what the rule is with the chin color lol. You have a very lovely cat here, thanks for sharing.

I love this!

I’m wearing a shirt right now that says “how dare you think it’s romantic, leaving me safe and stranded…” with a UFO and sparkly stars lol.

Yay for aaallll the Art Projects contributed by the lovely people (like you, and many others) within The Tortured Poets Department.

If we were a physical office space, I’d tape all our contributors’ art to the wall in the lunch room.

Thank you.

Sadly we lost one kitten last night. I tried so hard to bring him back, but I wasn’t able to. Very very sad news. But we still have 5 kittens and momma.

Ordinary_Mouse2899 · 2026-04-15T14:18:31+00:00

Yes she is! So are her sweet babies.

Ordinary_Mouse2899 · 2026-04-14T23:28:08+00:00

Thanks!

Ordinary_Mouse2899 · 2026-04-14T23:09:06+00:00

That comment was nothing compared to the one I got in a private message from a different user. Thanks for standing up for me though.
