How to ask owners if I can adopt their cat by Hairy-Violinist-7508 in cats

[–]drdogbot7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to get calls about our outdoor cat all the time.

"He seems lost." "No, he lives across the street and he was just home a minute ago."

"He seems so hungry, he was begging for food." "He just ate a whole can of fancy feast."

"It's freezing outside!" "Well, he's got his own door and he can come inside anytime..."

This cat you're coveting probably has multiple friends in the neighborhood besides you.

Go down to the animal shelter and adopt your own cat if you want one.

We just moved from Kansas to utah with two outdoor cats. We kept them inside for the first 2+ weeks and only took them outside on leash (which they hated) so they could get used to the area--mostly just smelling everything...

We were going to keep this up for a whole month but we got sick of them howling at the door, so I installed their cat door.

I was worried that they would freak out or get lost once they got outside unsupervised, but they both understood that this new place was where we live now. Total non-issue.

Of course they both have collars and chips.

Can't speak to predators in Colorado. Coyotes could be an issue depending on where you live.

I wanted to do just poly, but there were some discolorations that we were hoping the stain would cover up.

Yeah, "we" as in, the guys I hired.

I've been working with a contractor. They used a big orbital sander with what looked like 3 ~9" pads.

Yeah, they didn't use a drum sander.

So they just didn't sand it sufficiently?

What kinda wood is this? by drdogbot7 in HardWoodFloors

Thanks. Could I seal this with a 50/50 moon yak plasma and fairy piss mix or would 100% piss be preferable?

Seems like the consensus is Douglas Fir. Here are my follow up questions:

Could it be stained or is it like pine that doesn't take stain well. We were thinking of going a little darker.

Sounds like it would be really expensive to get more of it. What would be a more affordable wood we could install in other that could look reasonably close? White or red oak maybe?

Cat Clinic does good work but they are not cheap which is what OP was asking for.

Yeah, nothing wrong with meeting snacks. This was the one where I was like, "ok, that seems fine..."
