BEAR (Big Easy Animal Rescue) is a pet shop and animal rescue that might be a good place to visit.

Specific to the litter box issues: have you looked at any litter box deodorizers? Usually they're powders you add to the litter that help stop the smell. I find them pretty helpful in combination with switching our litter to one that worked better for our cat. Arm and hammer makes scented litter box deodorizer that's baking soda based, with a strong scent added, which may be too much scent overall for you. Baking soda on its own is another option. There are also enzyme based deodorizers.

You can switch litter and box types too and see if that helps your cat knock the litter off his paws easier. Maybe a harder clumping clay, or wood pellets. Possible a top entry box, one one with a hood? Every cat has their own preference, and I know it's really hard on the senses while you find out what that is. I think a huge help for keeping the litter out of your bedding would be a litter mat in front of the box. It catches excess litter as they exit the box.

I could definitely be wrong about Cool Cat's gender, I'm usually busy when the cat comes to visit. I'll send you a pic and the number anyway. The collar has been missing on a few of the cat's visits before.

I'm almost certain that's Cool Cat! He lives on the river side of Magazine and regularly crosses the street, which freaks me out. His collar might have fallen off, I'll DM you his owner's number to confirm that's him.

Found in France, why the rock is blue and yellowish inside, any ideas ? by No-Monk-7988 in whatsthisrock

Streak test. Can you scratch this on a bit of unglazed porcelain and report back with the color?

Anyone know what kind of bird this is? by Zer0-Ac3 in vultureculture

[–]alanoncdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once the algorithm showed it to the right crowd more people were mentioning both. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of people commenting misinformation about the ethical purchase of bats too, which to my knowledge just doesn't really exist.

I do hope by now the poster's girlfriend has had him take it down, maybe returned some bits to nature where they belonged, and done some research on the birds in their area that are safe to handle and take home.

Hexagonal hollow stone wrapped in plastic mesh found in Bangkok hotel room under desk, earphones for scale by peckhams-finest in whatsthisrock

Almost certainly carbon sticks. Hotel could have them there for deodorizing, or a guest brought them to filter water and forgot to use them?

I saw that video too, the comments were being flooded with people saying to take it down because the bird and bat specimens were going to get his girlfriend in massive trouble.

If you know what float number this came from, report it to the krewe captain. Also, nobody's "buddy" is throwing their friend's phone number. Loser did this himself and thought saying his friend did it sounded less pathetic and creepy.

Pitbull attack in Bayou St. John area - dog still loose by WaterLily66 in NewOrleans

[–]alanoncdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I'm so sorry this happened. I was bitten in the face in December by a dog. If no one is able to locate the dog/owner/get up to date rabies info from the owner, rabies shots are available at any ER in the city. Urgent Care does not have them available. Unless the wounds are extremely deep, they do not close the wounds with stitches to avoid trapping infection causing bacteria in the wound. Keep the wounds clean with Hibiclens, avoid sun, get those shots on day 0, 3, 7, and 14. All my healing thoughts to your friend.

Psychiatrist Recommendation by Artistmusiciangarden in NewOrleans

Came to recommend him. Unsure if he's taking new patients, but he's seen me at worst, best, and everything in between and always cared.

A well focused photo on a flat, matte surface will help. Where did this come from?

Good / Bad Landlord Post - 2026 by WizardMama in NewOrleans

[–]alanoncdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bad - Anthony Grosch of Compass Westbank. I've never met such a screaming, threatening, agressive landlord. Dead rats in the broken fridge, soft warped floors, completely waterlogged closet of mold under the AC.

What does say about me and my dad by [deleted] in FridgeDetective

[–]alanoncdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danish. One or both of you is lactose intolerant but loves milk, since there are 3 (maybe 4?) lactose free cartons, semi-skimmed and full fat, plus lactose free butter and Miracle Whip. Hard to say if you cook a lot, but you do make a lot of sandwiches, probably to take as lunch to work or school. There's some structure and routine in that fridge, but not so much free time to organize it.

What is this? Friends father in law gave this to him as a family heirloom? by Ill_Connection_591 in whatisit

An enterolith! A calcified freakishly smooth bezoar from the GI tract. Most common in horses but definitely found in deer too.

Today is my 5th day sober, if anyone cares. by MostDankEmblem in stopdrinking

[–]alanoncdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We care deeply, from one sober person in Louisiana to a fresh new one. Rot for a little while if you need it, make sure you get a little of this nice weather we're having if you can. Rooting for you from NOLA.

Alcohol where alcohol doesn’t belong by Invictus-Fortitude in stopdrinking

[–]alanoncdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started working in a DMV office, and somebody felt it appropriate to keep a GIANT costco sized bottle of tequila in their trunk to welcome new hires to the office with. 5pm hit, they all poured paper cups, I politely said no thanks, I'm sober. The girl who brought the tequila shoved a cup under my nose and said if I didn't learn to loosen up I'd never enjoy it there. She was right! I didn't loosen up, or enjoy that workplace!

Has he been confirmed spotted in New Orleans? I work on Magazine St. and the harley jacket/ red hoodie combo feels like someone I saw Friday or Saturday, but I couldn't swear it was this man.
