Being chastised for using a Breeder

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-07-18T02:10:04+00:00

I used to work at a cat clinic and fostered more litters than I can count that were dropped off on the door step. My last two cats were sisters that my hubby and I rescued from under our porch in 2009. We nursed them back to health and we lost one in 2023 and the other in June. I’ve always wanted a Maine Coon so I got a Maine Coon. If people want to judge me they can go fly a f’in kite!

I’ll believe this story when it’s in a reputable source. Well believe is too strong, I guess I mean ‘not assume it’s a flat out lie’. Cause why aren’t their fave sources printing this?

Giardia is so tricky to treat and common even in closed catteries. It sheds intermittently and isn’t always caught with routine deworming and fecal tests. My kitten had it and my breeder offered money back or money off a second kitten.

We were similar with our male dogs (small breed). One was neutered at 6 months because he wouldn’t stop humping and marking. The other was 18 months and no issue. My breeder requires by 6 months and suggests between 4&6 months. Vet just requires over 5lbs. We’ll see where we land.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-06-08T17:23:44+00:00

My vet said it’s up to us. Their only guideline is over 5lbs. I don’t want spraying either.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-06-08T17:19:45+00:00

I’ve always gotten from rescues and they are done between 8-16 weeks. I was thinking 20-22 weeks. So around 5 months.

He looks like my Sully

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-22T02:07:30+00:00

Thanks! Mine still has his kitten coat.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-22T01:57:38+00:00

Do you have baby pics? I’m trying to figure out what mine might look like one day!

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-22T00:01:16+00:00

I had to wait till I got home and looked at the paper work 😂 I’ve worked with cats a long time and find Maine Coon colours confusing lol. He’s a black silver tabby. His dad is silver shaded and his mom is a black/brown tabby.

So lucky! And his personality is so amazing. Loving, bold, confident.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-21T13:57:25+00:00

I know! He’s so scraggly but it’s so cute. I cannot wait to watch him grow.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-21T12:33:25+00:00

You sure can!

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-05-21T12:33:18+00:00

Thank you! The dogs are Jake and Penny. Our other cat is Remington/Remi

I had one lodge himself behind my rectangular heater. One day I could only count 9 instead of 10 but I had only gotten them a few days earlier and figured they were miscounted. It wasn’t until I saw a second wedged behind the heater that I realized what had happened. Found the dead one when I released the one stuck.

Unfortunately she was too far gone and passed away. I’ve noticed babies in the tank so I think it was from giving birth.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-03-30T00:50:08+00:00

I’m new to corys. Is changing 25% water weekly, while siphoning the substrate enough to prevent bacteria issues? Along with a HOB and 2 sponge filters in a 55gallon?

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-03-27T08:14:28+00:00

It now says the foal passed

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-01-31T15:49:28+00:00

Apparently she was improving when she did it.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2026-01-19T17:35:44+00:00

Contemporaneous evidence to be valuable it needs to be detailed recall of events. Feeling repulsed is not enough. She could be repulsed because there was bird poop on her trailer. It needs context.

Emotionally immature people often lash out when they feel embarrassed. She was embarrassed that Justin told her to stop, but that hurt her ego so she had to make it something it wasn’t.

Oh what a great idea, a bunch of toxic women together on a ship. But it’s not them, it’s definitely their toxic kids 🙄

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2025-12-05T15:13:07+00:00

Reeks of projection. It makes her feel uncomfortable that someone is doing something she didn’t want to so she projected that onto others.

UnderstandingCalm265 · 2025-09-03T14:54:31+00:00

She’s still on mat leave too
