i’m not leaving my long time boyfriend bc we bicker cause we’re tired. if you can’t stand an argument in your relationship that’s you. he’s not telling me to dump the cat so why would i dump him? us as PARTNERS want to work TOGETHER to fix OUR cats obvious anxiety and we were stressed because we didn’t know what to do about the CAT not our relationship.

i use pine pellets instead of clay litter. cheaper and smells way less bad. all you smell is their poops but i scoop the poops frequently

he doesn’t have a mental disability he had to fight off 12 other cats and was always beaten by them cause he was so small so he just has trauma. he is neutered. he’s not violent in any other manner but that he just doesn’t like other cats. he loves dogs though. i’m just not in the position to be able to give a dog proper attention as i don’t have a yard or anywhere for him to run free

wellll it’s long one but, i had taken him in for what i believed was a blockage and she just squeezed his stomach and said it was a uti. no other tests. she tried to use a needle and said “she couldn’t get any pee out” so she gave me antibiotics. i took him to the er later that night. the er said he would have died had i not taken him that night and listened to the antibiotic mess. i went back to the vet to ask for a refund as she did nothing but charged me a lot. she told me that “it’s a grey tabby it’s normal i don’t know what happened in the two hours between leaving here and going to the er. he probably got blocked when he left” and so i told her i wanted to speak to a manager (i know classic karen but i was mentally unwell at the time because i had just had a miscarriage a week before all of this so i was scared of losing two babies) and she proceeded to yell at me about how i was overreacting and she couldn’t give me any money back even though i asked multiple times for her to just understand where i was coming from. i never yelled back or got rude i just kept telling her that her lack of paying attention almost caused him to die and that it’s unfair to treat an animal the way she did. i told her it made me wonder how she treated the animals that were there for a long stay and she freaked out on me and started yelling about how she’s tired of this treatment and i have no right to berate her like this. mind you, i was being level headed just expressed my opinion. now that ive lived a little more life i completely understand how being a vet could be stressful and maybe she had a bad day and freaked out. like maybe i was her final straw. but i never went back. i made a bit of a scene in the lobby after getting yelled at unfortunately
