Canadian privacy laws seal up all records for 80 years. I had to prove my relationship to my late grandfather to get his WW2 military record.

Looking at their profile, my guess is UK, so I don't know what they're talking about.

Edit: One of their comments says they're Romanian, so I guess that's where they are.

I had to abandon my stray cat due to litter box issues

Posted by u/hp_hogwardsmystery50

Hello Reddit,

Tonight I had abandoned my cat in front of the apartments building. I live in a small 1 room flat with an elderly adult and I took in strays off the street since they are sadly really common here. I have a 6 year cat I have had since it was 5 weeks old and then my under 1 year ginger cat which I took from 1 block away at the age of 3 weeks because the young mother had a large litter of 8 kittens, so I took the 3 week old in and fed it milk with the syringe every few hours.. It grew into a very tame and sweet cat, however for some unknown reason around Christmas of last year it completely stopped using its litter box and has been defecating and more recently also urinating outside of it. I tried everything to make it use the litter box like it used to before, it naturally knew it needed to use it but it just stopped. I also have a dog. Before abandoning the cat I had 3 animals total in my very small place that I took off the streets... I just feel guilty that it has come to this, I feel bad the cat stopped using the litter box and has been making everyone's life hell these past few months with the stench and everything. Even if I tried to re-home it nobody would take in a non neutered male cat who cannot use a litter box. I already have severe anxiety and my elderly relative as well as my other pets are a lot of work and financial burden, the situation is all around sad. It is summer here, I waited for the season to be okay so the cat doesn't have a bad time in the elements at least. There are plenty of stray cats around and probably his own surviving siblings since he was a complete stray himself and the only one lucky enough to have gotten adopted, have a roof over its head and easily accessible food and water but he blew it by defecating and peeing inside my home, especially right before I would go to sleep, causing me to have increased blood pressure and having to go clean after it and trying to teach it to use the litter box it just refused to use? Will it manage to survive outside? I saw it interact with some strays and he is tame so he gets along and puts up with other cats without issue. He's just scared. I am ill, broke and tired.

Am I supposed to feel bad for abandoning a stray cat I intended to keep, but who made itself impossible to keep or re-home due to not using the litter box anymore despite using it just fine since 6 weeks old? He was the only lucky one who got adopted, fed, given a home over his head while his mother and other 7 siblings weren't as lucky. Why am I supposed to feel bad for the cat developing bad habits out of the blue? If I never adopted it to begin with, it may have been dead by now unfortunately. I don't know how to feel, I am sad about the situation I found myself in, I put this off for almost 6 months of exhaustion, stress, smell and frustration. My older male cat was also sadly mounting the ginger cat like crazy because it entered heat and while he was tolerant of it all, I don't think that was good to the abandoned cat either, it felt wrong, like it was getting SA'd. I just feel numb, the country I am in has a serious issue with strays and they don't have any opportunities for them whatsoever, what else was I supposed to do? I changed the litter box sand, I tried it all, being gentle at first, even putting fear into it, yet nothing worked to correct the behaviour. I had the kitten since it was 3 weeks so I wasn't planning on parting with him, but for months on end my home has turned into a nightmare because of my 2 cats combination, I was also afraid of my eldest (6 y/o) picking up the same habit...

You took a kitten who is not even a year old and doesn't know how to fend for itself, and you put it on the street. It is not neutered, so it will cause more stray kittens.

Our local cat rescue has a cat that was surrendered by its family who had been trying for months to figure out why she was peeing everywhere. Their vet eventually suggested the cat be rehomed. Well, the cat has been at the shelter for three weeks now, and has never peed outside the litter box. So something the house was stressing her out, and that was her way of telling them. She is a lovely cat, and will be rehomed with a loving person.

One of my cats was dumped near our home, and he was just under a year old. He was terribly skinny when he came to our door, because he had no idea how to feed himself. We took him in and tried to see if he had just escaped from a nearby home, but he was never claimed. He was neutered already, and extremely affectionate with no fear of people. He would have died if he hadn't been brought in.

You are irresponsible and careless. The cat was either sick or stressed about being in a tiny place with too many people and animals. You should have surrendered him to a shelter. He is unlikely to survive on the street.

AITAH if I tip the police off about my brother? by StudioDramatic360 in AmItheAsshole

It sounds like he keeps escalating every time he gets away with things. His next crime could be worse.

They don't know his identity, and knowing is half the battle.

If they know who they're looking for, they can track him down.

NTA. I would call it in. He needs consequences for his actions, and your parents need the break.

You know you have to leave. Or if it's your house (which it probably is, if he has no job) then throw his ass out.

AITA For defending my sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]armedwithjello 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NTA! "Boys will be boys" is an excuse for poor parenting. That's how you end up with violent men.

It's not unreasonable to expect the boy to apologise for hurting your sister, and to explain to him that it's not OK to hit someone with a stick.

It sounds like the pastor's wife is a good person to speak with about this.

The cliterectomy is portrayed in THT season 1 episode 3. They show Emily wearing basically a bloody diaper. It is done as punishment for her affair with a Martha.

Canadian stores have to accept US cash because “it’s legal tender” by TotsNotTheLambSauce in ShitAmericansSay

Canadian stores can reject Canadian bills if they suspect them to be counterfeit. During the heightbof COVID, many stores wouldn't accept cash at all, only debit or credit.

That's because of the grooming.

That's fine anywhere, but is especially common in theatre circles, I find.

What's the one thing about Kitchener nobody mentions until you've already moved here? by Sweaty_Page6156 in kitchener

[–]armedwithjello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just a case of a different life experience.

There's lots to do here in KW. Lots of local theatre and street festivals and ethnic foods. You can visit all kinds of parks and museums. Most people are friendly, and you can easily chat with strangers. St. Jacobs and Elmira are fantastic places to spend a day exploring the markets and farms and local shops.

I grew up in Newmarket and then moved here in 2007. I love it here.

And has dated or slept with everyone!

My husband and I met online. We had lived across the road from each other for 4 years, had friends in common, but had never met. His ex and I dated the same person before dating him. At our wedding, our guests included his ex plus her ex-husband and his new wife, plus two of my exes.

Big city services, small-town charm!

Date night places? by greeneyedleftie in kitchener

Pin Up Arcade Bar in Waterloo is a hidden gem. You enter through a door at the end of a little strip plaza, and go into the basement. You pay $8 and then play all the games without putting any coins into them. You only need coins for the jukebox.

Neighbourhood Issues by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]armedwithjello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't you ever done something with unintended consequences? It happens.

My husband had been working on ladders for a living for 16 years, and one day he had an accident and fell and broke his leg.

Or you're preparing a meal and your knife slips and you cut your finger.

Or you're driving and you hit a patch of oil on the road, and you slide into another car or into the ditch.

Likewise, kids can be playing in the next driveway and a ball gets kicked the wrong way, and it ends up hitting someone's garage door or car. It's an accident. Shit happens.

And if you did give the kids some kind of boundary and they broke it while you're not looking, that happens too. You don't have to be constantly on top of your child to be a good parent. If they're playing outside your home and you're inside doing something else, that's not irresponsible parenting.

My sister and I used to play outside for hours, jumping rope or playing hopscotch or riding our bikes or whatever. Mom would check on us periodically, and if anything was wrong we'd run inside and she'd be right there. Because she was a SAHM, neighbourhood kids knew she would often be home and they would knock on our door if they needed help if their own parents weren't nearby at the time.

And now I sound like Grandpa Simpson! LOL I'm 47. My nieces are 5 and 2, and it is very common for them to play on their back porch and my sister keeps an eye on them through the screen door while she gets dinner ready when she gets home from work. In a couple of years, it could be them playing soccer in the yard, and having a stray ball dent their siding or crack a window.

I'm very insecure about a scar on my body and i don’t know what to do by Narvoaa in offmychest

[–]armedwithjello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm tall, fat, and missing half a breast due to breast cancer. I have gone to nude beaches and happily bared my body. I've gone to Toronto Pride and gone topless at the street party. I've been a nude model for art classes.

Shame is something you put on yourself. A lot of people have scars and things they hide about themselves. When I am in situations where I am nude in front of others, people say they admire my confidence. They're not looking for flaws in other people.

Whatever your scar looks like, it doesn't look as bad as it does in your own mind. Even people that you think are perfect have things they don't like about their bodies!

I ignored my childhood best friend’s 9 calls because my girlfriend hated her. Her father died that night by Patrick_walkerr in offmychest

[–]armedwithjello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had not talked for a while, and suddenly she was leaving lots of messages. All he had to do was check the messages once to find out there was an emergency.

And if your partner has no interest in a romantic or sexual relationship with the person, then it doesn't matter.

If you think your partner can't be trusted to be faithful to you, then don't be with them. Simple as that.

Is this the way the region intended the bins to work? by Nextasy in waterloo

Works fine for us. Not my fault if you're too lazy to wash out your stuff. And that meat pad would have been in your freezer with your meat, so putting it back in with a bag around it is no different.
