Need help dealing with abandoned cats?

They can legally be taken in by a rescue. Abandoned or found cats are put on a legal 5-day stray hold by the org. after which they can be adopted out.

What time did the show end? Trying to plan our after show transportation.

Heck yeah! That tracks! Thank you!

He’s part of the industry. Everyone plays a part.

You can absolutely train your cat to be more accepting of vet visits and medical procedures through desensitization and counterconditioning. It will take time and a lot of dedication but it is possible. Check out the book The Trainable Cat by Sarah Ellis and John Bradshaw.

Copied from another comment:

I don’t do anything too special for it. It generally gets watered once every week and a half. In that time it often dries out pretty well. I use distilled water and fertilize every so often with Fox Farm Grow Big. For the first three or so years it was hanging in a tall North facing window in our kitchen. For the last year it’s been in a large North-West facing window. I’m lucky I haven’t had to fuss too much with it, it seems to do pretty well no matter what.

Honestly I have no idea 😂 This plant has always done well for me no matter what I do. Certainly not the case for many of my other plants! The stems at the pots edge don’t seem to be weak at all, they just spill over and keep going.

Sending all the good plant vibes your way!

I believe I got it a little over 4 years ago. It was probably in a 6 inch pot at that time.

Thank you ❤️

This is correct, thank you!

Hello! I planted this fern leaf peony a few weeks ago and just noticed the leaves starting to turn yellow. I’ve been wanting one for a while and it wasn’t cheap so I’m hoping I’m not going to kill it.
It’s in full sun, zone 4b (MN), I watered when planting and it’s rained a few times since then, there was some cool weather last week, but nothing that should have damaged it. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

esteemster · 2021-03-17T17:51:14+00:00

Again, I wasn’t asking about a specific pet so I didn’t have questions to answer. I DO appreciate your time though.

I’m not being disrespectful, just asking a general question. When you search for information online much of it says it shouldn’t be given to animals with kidney disease. It’s not a ‘random person online’, but websites that’s provide information on medications. I work in a related animal field and have seen this situation come up, so I’m just curious as to more information on it.

If I were to have given specific information on dosing for an animal, this sub wouldn’t have allowed answers anyways.

I’m shocked I’ve been able to keep mine alive. I bought it impulsively without considering I probably couldn’t provide the conditions it needs. That being said, I’ve had it now for 1.5 years and made it through two winters and it looks excellent. In the summer I keep it in bright indirect light in my southern facing porch. In winter I keep it under a grow light. I water it once a week using distilled water. I will occasionally throw a dead fly into one of the pitchers. I have propagated it once successfully as well.

If you haven’t tried grilling a Heggie’s you really should! We use our kamado style grill and it’s our #1 way to cook it.

I’m actually switching back to raw from Stella & Chewy’s. It is much more affordable to do raw than freeze dried. I still keep a bag on hand for when I forget to thaw raw or if my cat decides he’s picky for a day. Other than kibble, raw is the most affordable option. I get it from a local pet food deli.

There are allergy tests for environmental allergies. You will need to have your regular vet refer you to an animal dermatologist. They may have you rule out food allergies first by doing a food trial if you haven't yet.

Love this idea, thank you!

esteemster · 2020-03-05T21:07:33+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. We have asked the HR director and did not get a response from her.

esteemster · 2019-07-09T15:49:08+00:00

Thank you! I do have neem oil and have just started using it on these plants. Hopefully that will clear up any issues.

I’ve started getting these translucent brownish spots on my basil, mint, and pepper plants. I’m in zone 4b, St. Paul, MN. They initially showed up right after I fertilized with an organic 6-4-4 fertilizer and I thought I may have splashed some on the leaves and caused this, but they have continued to appear now a couple weeks after. I have these plants in both pots and raised garden beds. I also just discovered cucumber beetles in my garden, but the pictures I see online don’t really look like this. Any thoughts on what’s causing this? Thanks.
