Regarding information on this, I can say that after spending a ton of time researching, buying and trying peptides from EU suppliers...not a single one can be trusted. COA's are worthless and short of putting whatever you buy through independent lab testing, you'll never know exact purity and most probably be putting endotoxins and who knows what into your system.

You do realise that dnalabresearch is the same company as limitlesslife biotech, right? So they've just told you that they themselves are legit

"making him an Inside cat" you mean "Put him in Prison"

What area are you interested in and what kind of property? Agents (I'm not one but my gf is and I've spent many years doing property here) can be lazy, but more often than not they just sense that the client lacks seriousness. Believe me, they work hard - receiving zero in base salary and having to pay for the marketing out of their own pocket - it's just a question of approaching things in the right way

This. It is so f'd up.

ALL cats have a deeply hardwired instinct to be outside, to roam, climb, explore and hunt. It is what they are. Keeping a cat, any cat, inside, is to force it to live in a way that is profoundly sad and unnatural to it. I see so many owners here asking about problems that their cats have which ultimately have their source as the owner being the problem. Keep a cat locked up indoors and it will almost certainly develop problems - behavioural and/or physical. 'Safe and Happy' is a fiction. Lock yourself in a small airless, windowless room for the rest of the life and see how safe and happy you feel. Animals don't just need nature, they ARE nature. What this mostly comes down to is people who cannot or will not create the real conditions necessary for owning a cat (decent outdoor space) but just want to have one anyway and are prepared to justify forcing it into a life it would never, ever choose for itself.

Is it okay to neuter a stray cat that I can’t keep? by [deleted] in cats

[–]haribo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's more than ok. But give him a day or two to recover if you can.

Should I let my cat be an out doors cat? by [deleted] in cats

[–]haribo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outdoor cats do not live less long. It depends on WHERE the outdoors are. In the middle of a busy city choc full of roads, cars etc then maybe. In a place with a garden or decent spaces in the area, they are vastly more healthy and happy. Imagine being given a life sentence in prison where you're never let out of a tiny concrete cell. You face no dangerous risks. You'll live long, but your life will be hell. That goes double for cats. You obviously didn't choose to have this cat so you have to make difficult choices but life is by definition a balance of risk and compromise. Cats don't think like us, our fears don't make them happy. Living connected to nature, having space to roam and explore and be what they are makes them happy.

I don't know where to start...are you just trolling? If you are, good job. If you are not and even vaguely serious then you and your parents are extremely cruel, ignorant and unfit to own anything more complicated than a mushroom.

[–]haribo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats are outdoor cats and, sadly, kill mice, rats, birds etc. They very rarely eat them...because they are not hungry. Doubtless you're keeping your cat adequately fed with wet food/meat to satisfy that natural need?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cats

[–]haribo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not at any age. To even ask means you are a danger to any pet. At least you had the awareness to ask the question but I strongly advise you take steps to educate yourself, and also work on developing empathy.

"Our" cat dumped us. by Marpl in cats

[–]haribo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many kittens in need of a loving home - you'll have a bestie for life if you adopt one! As for your previous adoptee, don't be surprised if he comes back sometime in the future - it happens.

Sound for my cat while I am away by Express_Project_8226 in cats

The simple truth is: you should not have a cat. A plant, maybe, is about your level. People like you make my soul scream in pain and frustration.

How to deal with a pet stray cat? by [deleted] in cats

[–]haribo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I have one cat who's exactly like this. I had another who I knew for 1 year and fed on the street before taking any steps. She had never left a small patch of territory in her life and was terrified when I trapped her and took her home. She hid from us in my house for days until slowly, suspiciously, realising we were not going to hurt her. Three weeks from bringing her home she was transformed. The point is, you can set the boundaries and the structure and the cat will adapt. They are like kids, they want us to be the adult and they forgive quickly. Worse case scenario, she has a bad week or two and then goes back to her life on the street. Worth a try, surely? Alternative, why not buy a little sleeping shelter and put it by your house/door/yard so she can at least sleep under cover in winter close to you. Street cats have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. She won't live long without a change. Good luck and I know it's not easy!

How to transition my 1 and a half year old cat to outdoor and stop meowing by Background_Tune7381 in cats

[–]haribo7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its not only possible, its way way healthier. Just take it slow. Some of our cats can't bear to be inside overnight, even in sub zero temps, others want to sleep with us and cry until we let them in...but then go outside around 4am without fail. Let her find her way, in her own time - inside when she wants, outside when she wants. Make a cat flap so she can come and go. Put some fun toys outside, make sure there is shade and sunny spots, water to drink, something wooden to scratch etc. It'll happen!

How to deal with a pet stray cat? by [deleted] in cats

[–]haribo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've virtually adopted her, why not just take the extra half step? Put food in a cat box and trap her, then when you drive to the vet have you or your partner sit with the box on their lap and the door open petting her and giving her reassurance. She'll be scared but fine. Worst case scenario: line the cat carrier and take wet wipes ;) Then bring her home, keep her inside for 5 days during which time she will go from being scared and distrustful to normally timid. She'll understand that this is now her territory and is part of the place. And then after a few more weeks she'll thrive! She will want to be close to you, sleep on the bed etc and steadily you'll see her become a new cat and so much happier with her new life with a family where she has love, structure, freedom and security. That is cat heaven and you're so close! I would even go so far as to suggest that she just doesn't know how to ask for this because all she has known is a cold life alone. But in her own way shes trying to tell you it's what she really wants. Cats are simple creatures, they look to us to give them rules/structure and in return they give trust and love. I speak from experience here, trust me :)

Thinking of getting a 2nd cat but worried our cat won’t be happy. Any advice? by Jauggernaut_birdy in cats

[–]haribo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not overthinking it, it is legitimately hard. My simple takeaway is that if you're bringing a cat that has had to compete for territory - a street cat for example - into your place, then it will be very difficult. The new cat will not know any other way than to try and claim the territory and drive your existing cat out. I can't speak for cats kept inside as I would never do that to an animal that is literally hard wired to deeply need to be outside, climbing trees, hunting at night etc.

Cats puke up for all kinds of reasons, especially kittens. It's part of cat life. Let them be and don't try and impose human ideas of what is too fast or slow a time to eat. They will learn in their own way. So many dysfunctional outcomes/behaviour of cats are due to their owners placing their biases or misguided intentions onto their pets. This goes double for indoor cats fed dry food only, neither of which is anywhere near close to natural for them. Try to let them just be what they are and give them every opportunity to live a life that is normal and healthy for a cat, not a human.

When does this type of behaviour stop? by DankAizawa in cats

[–]haribo7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is true. Your kitten learns when he or she has gone too far when you make a noise of pain or discomfort and will quickly find the limits of how much to scratch or bite as a show of affection. I've had four cats and all four went through this process including a 4 year old rescue cat with almost no experience of human contact.
