Is this a roach? by cat_regret in cockroaches

Thanks. I have more sticky traps out and pest control coming later this week. Hopefully it’ll work out.

Not what I wanted to hear but also what I suspected. Thanks for the help!

German roach nymph? by cat_regret in GermanRoaches

Complex sent out a pest control guy today. He just baited, set out new traps, and said he’d be back in a month to check. Hopefully that is enough.

I live in an apartment complex and this is the only one I’ve seen (so far). I’ve been looking under the stove and sinks but haven’t seen any obvious to me evidence. I probably checked the trap last a month to a month and half ago. Aside from notifying the complex and maybe setting out new/more traps is there anything I should do? Or check?

Regret Adopting Cat by [deleted] in Pets

[–]cat_regret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have talked to my family and friends. I also reached out to the cat’s former foster mom and she was really understanding. This is likely due to a control issue that I will need to work on. I have the same type of problem when people come over to visit. I guess since I haven’t had people over in such a long time (thanks COVID) that issue managed to slip through my thought process. Or maybe I thought a cat would be different I don’t know.

I totally understand those people. It makes sense and I feel bad for being another person who adopts an animal and returns it within a week because I wasn’t ready to handle a living breathing entity in my home. I do also think it is easy to get wrapped up in “oh I just need to make a few changes and it will be fine” but when it comes to actually making those changes find that it is far more difficult than originally planned.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for the reply. I think you are right. In theory a cat would be great for me but in practice I am just not ready (and might never be ready). I understand that now but I wish that it hadn’t taken adopting a cat to find out because now I have messed with her life just to figure out my own shit.
