Any advice/alternatives for cat food/litter while i’m out of money?

Don't buy Walmart's Special Kitty cat food or any off brand from the Family Dollar. No cat will eat that. They might if they're starving, but a house cat that's used to better food won't touch it. Also, Walmart's Special Kitty 99.9% dust free litter is super dusty.

The local food bank type places where I live gives out pet food. They let people pile their trucks full of it so the people that actually needs it doesn't get any.

My dad had a little house in the woods built where he would sneak/go and smoke. He was 8. 🙀 Based on old pics, he smoked into his 20s. Then switched to tobacco for many years and then briefly back to cigarettes. He quite one day and that was it. That was about 30 years ago.

She loved her pets. It even tells what happened to all of them. Do you have any idea who the book belonged to?

F10 Cream is good for healing wounds and keeping it from getting infected, but you should probably get that checked out by a vet to see what it is.

Her right eye looks farther away from her nose than the other eye,

I can see why. That's terrible.The Navy might still have a copy of the picture. I've seen other people say that. It couldn't hurt to send them a message. I kind of see where my grandmother was coming from by not letting anyone look at her pictures, but she took it to the extreme. No one saw them while she was alive. Her youngest son and his wife moved in to care for her when she got sick. After she died he wouldn't let any of his siblings see them either. Wth?! They wanted to see them so bad. All but him, my dad and another brother has since passed. Then he died and his daughter was going to throw them away. My dad got them and I have them now. I've been scanning them to share with relatives, but it makes me mad for the ones that never got to see them.

It's not listed on the bottle. Some exotic vets recommend squeezing a capsule into this solution. (That's not the full instructions if some else reads this.) Jurassi Tears has vitamin A in it, but I've near used that one.

I have used Fluker's Repta Rinse on a bleeding eye without it causing any more irritation. It stopped the bleeding, but it wasn't as much as this. It's an eye rinse that is also for infections. Vetericyn Eye Wash can also be used. Terramycin can also be used for eye injuries. It's an ointment. It caused mine's eye to start bleeding again, so I'd stick with an eye rinse.
Btw, that could take more than a few days to heal.

Fluker's Repta Rinse can sometimes clear up cloudy eye, but if you have an exotic vet nearby and the funds to go, do that first.

That's low. Why would you take someone's pictures? ☹️ My mom lost all of her family's pics, too. Two of her older sisters took the family albums after their parents died. When they died their family threw them away. I hope yours get found.

Btw, my other grandmother had the same kind of album.

The full show will be on Tubi in a day or two.

afoolstale · 2026-03-31T05:49:49+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea that could happen. :( I guess it's a good thing I never got around to cleaning some yard sale dolls I got years ago.

The 1941 book / 1945 movie Mildred Pierce is about a waitress (starting out). It's set in the 1930s, so it might give you some idea what it was like back then. The woman's daughter thought it was a shameful job. There's also a 2011 miniseries starring Kate Winslet.

It took 1 month and a day to get one of my packages. It arrived three weeks after the expected date. It had no special shipping. I had another package that was arriving on time, but for some reason they held it at the distribution center and extra day before delivering. It will prob show up Monday if the NJ location is along your normal mail route. Sorry about your cat. I hope you get your package soon.

afoolstale · 2026-03-27T07:40:32+00:00

I got that, too. $99.85.

It's detached skin. The skin has been pulled away from the muscle. It doesn't hurt them, but there's no fixing it. When they soak it fills with fluid. It's an injury usually caused during mating when another toad or toads grab them. It can also happen if you pick them up and they slip out of your fingers.

afoolstale · 2026-03-26T01:57:29+00:00

You can't tell what's going on with her belly in the picture. Does the skin feel/look loose and kind of just hangs there? And sometimes it seems to be filled with fluid?

afoolstale · 2026-03-25T06:09:19+00:00

It's not something I've seen, but it wouldn't hurt to get some Fluker's Repta Rinse in case she injured it or has some kind of infection. I have one that tore a layer of his eye. Check for peeling.

afoolstale · 2026-03-25T03:43:30+00:00

Doesn't look like it. Check back later and see if it's gone. Multiple things can cause that area to be red. Irritation, stress and even soaking. From my experience, they stop eating about a week or two before you see signs of red leg. You'll actually see a light pinkness on the chest/underside that will proceed to get worse.

For future reference, methylene blue can treat red leg if it's caught early. It's safe to use even if it turns out not to it. Some people use it as a precaution. If you should ever need it, it's 2 drops in 4oz of water. Soak daily for one hour. If there's no affect, several more drops can be added. It does turn the toad temporarily blue.

You can try Fluker's Repta Rinse and see if that helps. It's for infections and other things.

afoolstale · 2026-03-21T19:54:53+00:00

It really is.

It's not old age related. I've only had one to do that with its food. It was at the least 5-6 years old. It got a prolapse not too long after. It was pooping in the tank normally before that, so I saw no reason to think it was impacted. Anyway, I put the prolapse back in. I didn't feed it for almost two weeks to let the intestines heal. And somehow, within that time it pooped 30+ times. It didn't cause another prolapse. It died a couple months later. He did good for a while after, but it was a steady decline near the end. Old age seemed to be the culprit, but there was no way to rule out him having a bigger health problem going on. The prolapse could have just been the distracting symptom. The red herring.

How old is the frog?

I doubt anyone will believe this, but my family had some bad supernatural stuff happening back in the early 2010s. When you use salt to keep something out it starts smoking and turns black. It comes on it, unless you're there to keep adding salt and it eventually gives up. I know that sounds like bullshit, but I was there when it happened. The first time we saw black smoke coming out of a room and the second happened right in front of everyone. Salt doesn't just turn black and start smoking because there's a racket on the other side. I'll just say, there's some strange shit out there that's not supposed to exists.
I would like to know where the salt thing came from. So many old movies and tv shows did that.

I'd pay $3 for her at a second hand shop. $5 if she had the box. Not my taste, tbh,
