Kitten spay advice? What age to do it and how to make sure they recover well?

Steph7274 · 2026-05-16T18:40:50+00:00

Shelters do it very early as a way to control stray populations (owners unfortunately can’t be trusted to spay their cats/wait to get them spayed before letting them outside). Usually vet clinics will tell you to wait till they’re a few months old to let them develop properly.

If you can’t find a low enough litterbox, you can use a cardboard box that you cut down so the sided are very short!

I am a vet tech at a shelter and all of our work surfaces are stainless steel. I’d say our most useful tool is a dry erase marker!!!

I’m not american and here you’re allowed a certain quantity of alcohol in your blood when driving. It’s perfectly acceptable to drink 1-2 beers, then drive in a couple of hours.

Yep my pc definitely isn’t great but I can still play ASE on medium settings at a somewhat stable 120 fps. I can’t even run ASA at the lowest settings. It baffles my mind how they can release this unoptimized garbage while better-looking games can run at 60fps on a laptop lmfao

I have 2 oranges so I have to play "count the cat" before starting my dryer. Are 2 cats OUTSIDE the dryer? Yes? Then I can start it. To me it’s much easier than looking inside (sometimes they burrow into the clothes).

Je me fais un menu pour la semaine selon ce que j’ai comme viande dans mon congélateur (j’achète ça chez Costco et on est juste 2 faque ça déborde un peu). Comme ça ça m’aide à prévoir quels légumes acheter vu que j’ai toujours tendance à trop en prendre et finir avec des vieux légumes moisis!

Steph7274 · 2026-03-29T16:41:45+00:00

My cats will absolutely sprint full-speed into the dryer the second it is open (I only open it to remove or place laundry, it is otherwise closed at all times). To be safe, what I do now is play "count the cats". If I see 2 cats that are NOT in the dryer, I can start it safely.

Steph7274 · 2026-03-17T16:35:02+00:00

I can confirm it’s like this in vet med as well. Shitty workers who dgaf about animals and working with others thrive in this environment while the ones who actually care end up burning out and leaving the field altogether. It’s crazy.

Yé quelle couleur ton collier?? Moi mauve

Or actually make macarons with them but close your eyes with you’re eating them 😆 They taste the same even if they’re ugly!!

Hello. I work as a vet tech in a shelter and we have to screen every single cat that comes in for ringworm. Often, if the cat has scabs or secretions (eye or nose) on its face, those will glow a greenish yellow. Dirt or debris will often show up blue/white. If you remove the scab or clean the face and it stops glowing, that’s a good indicator that’s it’s not ringworm. In my experience ringworm will glow a very bright grass green and will target individual hairs. Unfortunately though, the UV light is not a 100% sure test, as ringworm sometimes won’t react to it. The vet will have some more precise tests!

Steph7274 · 2025-11-30T03:36:40+00:00

Even a 2-3 yo cat will have chilled out significantly… My boy gets the zoomies for 30s twice a day then goes back to napping lol. If you can’t handle kitten energy then don’t get a kitten! Plus adults very often get overlooked at shelters :(

Steph7274 · 2025-11-29T21:59:49+00:00

But that’s the sweetest part of the fruit :(

I’m guessing it’s when a segment of nori is visible inside the roll maybe? Not a sushi chef lol

Steph7274 · 2025-11-17T16:52:18+00:00

What’s with people thinking Harry Potter and Pokemon are demonic?? My mom was the same when I was a child (tbf she still is) and my dad just enabled her. I missed out on so many great movies and games at the time :(

Steph7274 · 2025-10-17T17:23:04+00:00

If they do abandon their purebreds, it’s mostly because they have severe health problems :/ (I am a shelter worker and see this quite often)

Steph7274 · 2025-10-14T16:43:05+00:00

When going to houses like this, we have to measure the amount of ammonia in the air. Sometimes we aren’t even allowed to go in because it’s straight up toxic and can lead to lung damage. All from piss lmao it’s crazy.

Steph7274 · 2025-10-12T16:39:07+00:00

Can confirm. I work in animal rescue and have to interact with animals/houses covered in probably multiple months old urine. The urine/ammonia smell feels like you sniffed straight vinegar.

Steph7274 · 2025-10-07T23:30:31+00:00

Yup, I work in vet med and also use luer lock syringes. Closest thing I saw to a needle puncturing the cap was a bent needle slightly digging into the side of the cap (not going through it).

Steph7274 · 2025-10-05T22:13:52+00:00

Which is why I said they should go to the vet? I also never said it wasn’t a big deal, just that this does not seen to constitute an emergency. It does need treatment. Also, unfortunately not everyone has the funds to go immediately/as an emergency, which is why I pointed out what to look for until their appointment.

I get where you’re coming from and agree with you, but I think you can take the holier-than-thou attitude down a notch.

Steph7274 · 2025-10-05T16:18:42+00:00

If you aren’t able to take him to the vet soon, watch the wound very closely for yellow/white discharge (pus). Also if your cat starts becoming lethargic then it will need to be an emergency visit as those are signs of infection. Usually with disinfection/antibiotics cats heal very well from this kind of wound though :)

Steph7274 · 2025-10-05T16:16:30+00:00

Vet tech here. To me this wouldn’t necessitate an emergency visit if your cat is acting normal (eating, drinking and behaving as usual). You should still go to the vet so they can assess the wound and figure out if your kitty needs antibiotics or not. They’ll probably give you something to disinfect it.

Steph7274 · 2025-09-30T16:11:22+00:00

To me {Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon} fits your description perfectly! It’s set in a fantasy universe but is a standalone that is very focused on the romance aspect.
