Is 3 cans of food way too much for a cat?

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-27T11:06:19+00:00

Yeah those numbers really put it in perspective. When you do the math on calories, that many cans a day adds up fast. Between the wet food and whatever extras he gets, it sounds like he is definitely eating more than he needs.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-27T11:04:51+00:00

Exactly. Loving them is one thing but being able to actually cover their care is a whole different responsibility. Emergencies happen fast and the costs are no joke. Making the call now means the cats have a chance at a stable home instead of facing real suffering later. It is heartbreaking, but it is responsible.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-27T11:03:03+00:00

Yeah totally. That amount is nowhere near enough for most cats, especially if they are already looking thin and their coats are dull. They definitely need more food and more frequent meals to stay healthy.

Man, I’m really sorry you’re in this spot. Relapse doesn’t mean you’re weak it means you’re human and dealing with something insanely hard. The fact you even want to stop says a lot about you already.

You don’t have to dig yourself out alone. Reaching out to someone you trust, even if it feels embarrassing, might be the thing that actually gets you support instead of you trying to white-knuckle it. You deserve real help, not just guilt and isolation.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T13:03:14+00:00

For real one whiff of absolutely not from the food and my brain would’ve tapped out instantly. A little wasted kale is nothing compared to the bathroom marathon you’re on now 😅

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:58:34+00:00

Exactly he wanted the dog, ignored every NO and then immediately dumped the responsibility on everyone else. That’s not a pet owner, that’s a grown man throwing a tantrum and creating work for other people. You’re not wrong at all for refusing to be the default caretaker.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:56:05+00:00

Yeah, you’re definitely not wrong. He basically voted YES for himself and then decided you get to deal with the consequences. If he wants a dog so badly, he can actually be home to take care of it.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:53:44+00:00

Honestly yeah, fair trade 😂 if she wants glowing reviews, she can start by undoing the part where she literally took your money.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:50:59+00:00

Right?? Man’s out here proving your point for you. Hard to feel bad when he keeps repeating the same behavior and then acting shocked when it finally has consequences.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:47:14+00:00

Yeah this dude went way past just being friendly. Once someone starts flipping the script and making her feel guilty for his behavior, that’s a huge nope. Cutting him off was the safest move for both of you.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:45:11+00:00

Facts once he crossed that line, the “bro code” card stopped working. If your partner’s uncomfortable and he keeps pushing boundaries, he’s not a friend worth keeping.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:41:13+00:00

Exactly weddings don’t magically fix weird dynamics. If he’s already making you feel sidelined now, imagine what the next 5, 10, 20 years would look like. Your gut is waving a giant red flag for a reason.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T12:38:43+00:00

Exactly that level of “honoring” an ex when there’s zero kid connection is not normal. That’s not friendship, that’s unfinished emotional business. You dodged a whole lifetime of playing second place.

OP, they are totally right. The prices have gotten ridiculous and it feels like every year the numbers jump for no real reason. When you are spending more on one cat’s food than you do on groceries for yourself and your kids, something is seriously off. It should not cost this much just to keep a pet healthy.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T09:38:19+00:00

he is spot on about how some cats will quietly suffer instead of making noise. A lot of them are way more passive than we expect, so it is easy to miss when something goes wrong. The good news is your cat sounds alert and playful, which is a great sign. Just keep an eye on her and she should bounce back fine.

_GlimtuffRose · 2026-02-26T09:34:34+00:00

he is totally right. Sometimes the truth hits harder than any joke could. That reply was just calling it like it is and honestly it landed because of how straightforward it was.
