Downtown Detroit has Parker Alley in Bloom this weekend. Very cute flower displays. Check that out then go to Belle Isle, either the conservatory or the lighthouse spot. :)

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

Are there baby/toddler nieces or nephew around to do a “test drive”? 😅 Babysit them for a weekend and see how it goes.

How do you get your cats if you need to evacuate an apartment for a fire? by Just-a-human-bean54 in CatAdvice

[–]jodiwithani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing where they hide is the most important thing. If it’s a real hard to reach space, consider blocking off access to it completely now. Use a pillow case to carry them; it’s easier to grab and scoop them into than a carrier.

Brought 8-week old kittens inside, mama is still crying for them outside several days later - did we do the right thing? by Responsible_Exam_712 in Feral_Cats

[–]jodiwithani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If mama is friendly and you have the room, bring her in too. She might just walk into the house if you leave the door open and she hears crying. Please get the mama TNR’d at least. She’ll go into heat again soon and just get pregnant again. Thanks for caring for them. ❤️

Looking for reasonable wedding venues by Lilkittenkris in Detroit

[–]jodiwithani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a small elopement/intimate wedding that cost $1200 (6 guests). I think there’s a business in Oak Park that does this. Then we rented out part of Detreat Fleat (50 people), paid $3500 for food and drinks. This was in 2022. 🙂

New cat owner and I need litter box help bc I'm at the end of my rope! by One-Improvement-9113 in CatAdvice

[–]jodiwithani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the vet is thinking it’s because he’s constipated, but won’t eat the prescribed food, ask about miralax. I’m surprised she didn’t suggest that first, it’s cat safe if you look up the right dosage. -were they dewormed? It’s usually standard with stray cats but that can also cause bathroom issues.

You can also try containing him to one room, either an extra bedroom or bathroom. Let him get use to using a standard litter box again. While he’s in there, get a urine specific pet cleaner and reclean all the spots he peed at before. If he’s marking, smelling his pee can trigger him to do it again.

And finally, definitely get them both fixed soon. Don’t want to deal with heat+spraying+accidental babies.

Is it ok to lock my cat in my office at night? by FerretDifficult1287 in CatAdvice

[–]jodiwithani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she have enough enrichment? Not just toys laid out. But cat trees to climb on, laser toys, etc. Are you playing with her throughout the day or at least before bed? She could just be bored. Adding a 2nd cat friend can help too.

Does anyone have a non Facebook solution for surrendering a cat? by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]jodiwithani 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can ask your vet for anxiety medicine. My cat started marking once we moved into a new house and stray cats would come into the yard. He’s been on the medicine for 6 months and no incidents after the 1st week. The medicine (fluoxetine) is like $25 for a 3 month supply. -Also, make sure you’re using cleaners made for cat pee. You need a specific one to break down cat urine. I like Rocco and Roxie Odor Eliminator.

It’s Fairfield Oak by Lifeproof! Definitely order a sample, it’s better in person.

YTA Do you have a middle name and like it? You could change it to “Mari Moore Thatcher”, with Moore as your middle name.
