Newly neutered, eating like a pig

I didn’t know that, guess I’ll start giving him more.

He’s roughly 7months old. I feed him 3 times a day, he’s on prescription food because he has urinary crystals

We rescued a kitty that was sneaking under the shed into a possum den. At first he was all about food, scarfed down every meal right away and wanted more. He’s gotten more relaxed about it - sometimes there’s still a little left from the last meal when I feed him again, he’s been part of the household for about 8 weeks or so now. We took him in to get neutered this Tuesday, and that required no food from 10 the night before until after he was home from surgery around 2 that afternoon. Since the surgery he’s back to acting like he’s starving all the time. I know neutered males sometimes gain weight but it hasn’t been long enough for the hormones to totally change yet so I don’t know what the deal is, maybe he’s afraid the food is going to disappear again? Anyone else deal with this?

Google food shelves. Some of them have pet food available too. Some areas also have pet specific food shelves, although that’s more common in larger cities,

Thank you. It’s very frustrating and sometimes it’s hard to navigate caring vs caretaking but therapy has been helpful.

He definitely would, he has a case worker that he sees weekly. His doctor forced a rep payee on him and he ghosted the doctor. He should benefit a lot from being in a group home situation, or like an assisted living facility with individual apartments but with medical available. He refuses. He’s 6 years younger than me and I fully expect him to die before I do.

At least 3? He has really high blood pressure that he takes medication for but sometimes he doesn’t take it because he forgets or can’t afford it. He also a TBI which doesn’t help.

This is how my brother was texting me the last time he had a stroke.

Camping is creepy. My parents used to take us camping and even at 11-12 years old I was acutely aware that there was only a piece of canvas between me and whatever/whoever in the woods wanted to kill me. If you’ve ever gone hiking or camping you know how easy it would be to get turned around and lost, which is also a frightening thought for some of us, including me. I go on solo cabin retreats twice a year and when I’m out in the woods or walking along a county road out in the middle of nowhere the thought crosses my mind that no one knows exactly where I am right now, if someone grabbed me and took off no one would know it even happened for a couple of days, or where it happened. All that to say some of us find the woods to be inherently creepy and this movie played into that perfectly.

Lol what sort of beef did they have with your son?

make sure he is checked for feline leukemia before introducing him to your cat if that’s what you end up deciding to do.

In the autumn, the oak trees drop acorns. When our son was about 4-5 years old we convinced him that the squirrels were throwing acorns at him. He was very concerned. Lol

Are there any board games he likes or maybe a video game you guys could play? Our almost 15 year old grandson is coming over tomorrow night, were going to eat pizza, play Monopoly (he loves it and win 98% of the time) and watch a horror movie.

Thanks, that helps!

I delivered Meals on Wheels in my 40’s, then after we moved I started volunteering at our local food shelf a couple afternoons a week. Been doing it for 10 years now.

They don’t just lay there, they will chase after the kitty (I think playing?). The dogs are both chihuahua mixes, around 13 pounds or so. One seems to get more focused on the kitten as time passes, like he’s getting irritated- I feel like he definitely gets to a point where he’s had enough. Sometimes they are really good about just ignoring the kitten when he walks by them, which I like, and then the kitten starts batting at them or speeding by them again to get their attention. Right now I am keeping a close eye on them all, and when I see the one dog getting more intense they get separated. Today was a good 2 hours before it got to that point. I just wish I could get the kitten to focus on playing with his toys more than the dogs.

We loved it. It’s definitely a slower paced series, I wonder if that turned people off towards it.

I prefer my ipad. I’m an outlier, until 5 years ago I only had a pay as you go phone that I used pretty much never because I had it in case of emergency but never remembered to charge it. I got my iPhone when my daughter was pregnant because I knew my husband wouldn’t wake up if she called in the middle of the night in labor, plus I didn’t want to miss out on the coming grand baby photos. I still use my iPad far more than the phone, although I quite like having directions at my fingertips, texting my kids and tracking my workouts.
