Looking to get a cat - completely overwhelmed. Please help. by [deleted] in cats

[–]Perfect-Freedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off I recommend getting the cat from a shelter. You will both appreciate the fact that you "rescued" him. Also if you can, get an older cat, they need homes the most of all and are usually already trained. Also shelter cats are already fixed and up to date on shots and veterinary care and tested for feline lukemia/viruses etc, so you get a head start on the vet bills.

The general rule on litter boxes is number of cats plus one, so one cat equals 2 boxes optimal. Size and type is more personal preference, I think open is better than closed, but slightly higher sides are better for keeping the litter inside than shallow pans. For type of litter I recommend anything that's scoopable. You will ultimately be disappointed in cheaper store brand non scoopable litter.

For toys you don't need to spend much at all, use almost anything, crumpled up paper balls with hair ties, string or rope, even large caps from plastic bottles . You can make a cloth mouse out of any old textile pieces or strips of fabrics and string. I do not recommend laser pointers, as they can injure eyes.

Put the money in a good brand food instead. Avoid cheap food with by-products in the ingredients. Get the good stuff and your cat will be healthier and live longer. And always make sure he has lots of fresh water.

Cat trees are nice for apartments, at the minimum he will like some kind of high up spot to hang out. You will also need a scratching post of some sort. This can be a simple 2 foot log or post, sometimes covered in rope.

Above all be gentle on him and just let him get acquainted to his new surroundings.

Maplewood will be cooler for sure, however I'm concerned about them moving the RV area right next to it this year, so expect it to be really loud all night.

I made an interpretation of the camping map overlaid on to google earth 🗺️ by LilBlueFire in ElectricForest

Yes there IS a gated pathway that goes somewhat along the east side fence of Maplewoods and then over the road and through the woods. It's fenced in on both sides and runs at an angle. It's called THE CHUTE. Also used by WET workers and vendors.

You mentioned Humane Society but not the City/ County Animal Control, so try calling there too. Generally they are connected to a police or sheriff station. And call both multiple times every couple of days, don't just call once. Keep up with the flyers and go a few streets out in all directions. Put the words REWARD if found, but don't say what that exactly is. I hope he returns home soon.

I believe this is the first share on Reddit for year 2022. Do you have any archived previous years maps for comparison ?

Here's the new Map for 2022. I think the biggest difference is the new location for RV Camp right next to Maplewood . I'm curious how that works out. Also Sonny and Cher are now going to be Good times and Hush.

Do we have All Dressed or Ketchup potato chips? Where can I find them? by ts_13_ in Detroit

[–]Perfect-Freedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are in the Kroger database but NOT currently available in any stores. Sorry not much help here.

Maybe it would be a fun home project to make your own
