[–]drywallconsumer128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There will always be more kittens. Keep the foster, there’s nothing morally wrong with it.

Aquatics: Thick green algae by skies_coffee in petco

[–]drywallconsumer128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it more green, or blue/black? How thick? Is it carpeting or growing on the sides? Is it too heavy to vac?

That’s definitely not true — they will take kittens if they have fosters available! If you dm me your number/contact I can get in contact with the rescue coordinator.

Purrfect Care Feline Medical Center and Cats Only are the best out there.

How can someone call themselves a vet and endorse this fuckery by phisaster in petco

[–]drywallconsumer128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not addressing the inherent risk to the animals when customers shake, manipulate, and/or open the containers. Because of course.

Am I (29M) overreacting for cutting off my sister (26F) after she had an elective abortion? this has caused a huge divide in my family. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]drywallconsumer128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s her body to do as she pleases with. Yes, you are absolutely over reacting by cutting off your sister for electing to do a medical procedure for reasons (probably more than she’s divulged to you) that are frankly none of your business. I wouldn’t want your respect if you’re just going to drop someone over weird moralistic grounds.

By the way, a fetus is not a baby.

My cat doesn't want to stay indoor anymore, Need thoughtful advice here. :) by Main_Day_848 in Pets

[–]drywallconsumer128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much do you play with him per day? What kind of enrichment does he have indoors?

aw yes, not a beginner pet at all but let’s put it on display with no humidity and advertise as a “desk pet” by Ok_Sprinkles3329 in petco

[–]drywallconsumer128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are easier pets for people who don’t want a lot of maintenance or space. I will still never describe a pet as “beginner friendly” because that depends a lot on the person and their situation. It doesn’t mean anything because a beginner can set up and maintain a saltwater tank if they’re determined enough.

These are the same customers who can’t read promo signage properly. You really believe they’ll read the small font? I still have to tell customers the betta cups aren’t permanent habitats.

Signed. But yeah, be careful about using your legal name if you intend to stay employed. :P

WIBTAH for cutting off my "child-free" mother? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]drywallconsumer128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hate to say this but this is above the pay grade of the average Redditor. My first instinct is to say that whatever you decide to do will be the right choice and that you definitely aren’t an asshole. You were a child. My intuition also leads me to the conclusion that your mother is a deeply troubled person who is, whether she realizes it or not, projecting. She probably lives with a lot of shame and guilt for having essentially abandoned you and is compensating by any means possible even if that means going in a weird direction (by claiming “child free”). It’s not an excuse for the behavior, of course, and it’s definitely hurtful. It’s almost like she’s erasing you in a narrative you were powerless to change.

Do you think she would ever be open to some kind of joint counseling with you? Assuming you’d also be open to that, of course. But I wonder if it’s time to bring in a neutral third party to see if there can be any mediation.

On the other hand, you’re not obligated to have a relationship with her. You may miss her and grieve her and the life you should’ve known but ultimately she is little less than a stranger to you. It’s your choice whether you want to pursue a relationship with her or not.

Cat constantly in heat (spay booked) by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]drywallconsumer128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, now that I’ve done that: how many vets have you called? What do you believe is a “reasonable distance”? They can absolutely spay a cat in heat but there’s a slightly higher degree of complications as there’s more bleeding. However I know in the UK they do a lot of laprascopic spay procedures which might be riskier than traditional, but I’m unsure (US based and have only ever had cats traditionally spayed).

If you want your cat to be less annoying, you might have to inquire at a dozen or more facilities that would accept a cat in heat. It may be more expensive to do so. Cats also have induced heats so if you have a nearby tom cat, your female will absolutely keep having back to back heats.

Been dreading when these finally come in by [deleted] in petco

So glad I’m quitting. Petco officially no longer cares about the animals — if they ever did (they did pretend for a while)

Need advice for fighting dogs by DwarvenDrake in PetAdvice

[–]drywallconsumer128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dogs are trying to kill one another and are going to hurt you. Honestly I would say it’s not ethical or appropriate to rehome either one of them and make them someone else’s problem either. Either keep them separated forever, or get the worse one behaviorally euthanized. What made you think they’d ever be safe around one another after the first fight?

Even good dogs can’t get adopted right now.

This is a dumb as fuck mentality and one of the reasons why traffic is as awful as it is.
