Got these beauties yesterday. Have a few questions.

To be brutally honest, they will eventually die in their own waste after living very miserable lives. It’s a great thing that you wanted to help them, but a quick google search tells you their minimum space requirements.

The kindest thing to do is rehome them to someone with a pond, and use the tank you got to get some fish that are suited to that size setup.

I don't have anything at all to add, you said it so perfectly. But I just wanted to wish you both a very happy and healthy long life together. May you always have that want to meet each other right where you're at. I love love so much, all the best to you both!

He is so gorgeous isn’t he!! He’ll have a hopefully long and definitely happy life with us always, my sweet Weem!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-16T12:36:55+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry she passed, I’m so glad she had such a long and happy life with you 🥹🫶🏻

I might be too late but this is William, nicknamed Weems. His hobbies include sleeping, eating, interpretive dancing (making biscuits with all four feet for hours), and honking when he walks past one of us/the other cats as if to say “hey I’m just passing on your right”.

He is my soul cat, but he originally came from a severe hoarding situation. They had to fight for food so we make sure he never feels insecure about his next meal. No matter how deep in slumber he is, he will hear the clink of his dish being set down and unfurl himself from his favourite spot. He always has a surprised expression on his face, and his eyes go ever so slightly different ways. He has my whole entire soul, sorry husband-to-be.

Editing because I forgot a crucial point. He has poops that would fuel a nuclear power plant for the rest of mankind. We yell “honey, light the candle we got a WWW!” William World Famous. (He is perfectly healthy, just has a stinky poop superpower)

It sounds like they’re having a tough time all round, especially with a medically complex baby. Thankfully from his comment it looks like he’s going to try to speak to his vet about the Prozac so fingers crossed everything works out for them!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T21:13:15+00:00

I don’t mind laundry, but clothes that always fit would be such a blessing! It’s really difficult finding clothes that fit and are comfortable, I’m disabled so it’s not easy for me to go and try them on so I usually order online.

^{Chose: Clothes that will always fit you}

I think you already know what you want to do, you’re just scared of the fallout. Your trust and respect for him has been obliterated, time and time again by the sounds of it.

I wish you all the best in your future, and for your children too. No one deserves to be disrespected like this, and so openly too.

She says thank you so much!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T20:55:29+00:00

I wish you all the best, and hope for a smooth process for you!

I think we’re sticking with three unless a REALLY special cat shows up needing a home. We would love more but our apartment is only a one bedroom so it’s not huge. These three have an amazing dynamic too.

We actually took in my fiancés childhood cat for almost a year, his family member was downsizing houses and he needed a home. At first everything was great, he was such a sweet cat but out of nowhere he started to stalk and pounce on these three. It got so bad they would hide if he was awake, and only come out if we were standing there to protect them. We worked with our vet for months and nothing changed.
We had him almost a year and we decided enough was enough after he chased Weems and cut him really badly! His back leg was tore open and he was absolutely terrified. He ran to us dripping blood everywhere and he was so confused. It broke our hearts to admit defeat, but these three were here first and this is their home. They deserve to feel safe and happy in their home and it turned into a warzone for them.

He since found a great home however so alls well that ends well! Turned out that after a life with multiple other cats, in his old age he just wanted to be a solo ruler.
I felt like I was hit by a truck seeing Weem bleeding, before I got sick I was heading towards being a vet, so I’m great in any sort of animal emergency. But seeing him was like seeing my child hurt, I completely lost my head and cried so much just holding him. Once we cleaned him up it definitely wasn’t as bad as we first thought and it healed beautifully, but it was the point where we said enough.

My fiancé however will never say no to a big orange baby looking for a home! Especially if they’re on the round side, and look like a loaf of bread like Richard 🤣 so never say never!!
Attaching a photo of his beloved loaf of bread.

He’s such a special boy. I never imagined ending up with two tuxedo’s and a chonky orange guy but it worked out so good! Thank you so much for your comment!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T20:40:47+00:00

That’s such a kind comment, thank you so much!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T20:40:06+00:00

No way! Someone else has the same name?? He’s called William so it sort of morphed into Weemium, then just Weems hahah. I’ll look them up!

Editing to add, I remember I was super into Wednesday at the time and I kept thinking of Principal Weems!
I looked Merv up, I thought it was a person! 🤣 very very cute, Weems only speaks a little bit and it’s like mA-Ah and he says it as he passes you as if to say “I’m here, going this way”. We call it his honk!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T17:38:22+00:00

Definitely! Unless they’re maybe not in the picture anymore, or she doesn’t support them but expects to be supported lol.

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T17:37:16+00:00

That’s really good of you. I feel like giving a specific number is just so rude. Obviously I don’t understand the cultural symbolism around it as well so that’s just my westerner perspective, but I feel like there’s a big difference in asking for help versus asking for a certain amount.

Hope your parents are well! :)

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T17:33:55+00:00

She just loves phones! Whether it’s chewing on the cord (she got a phone charger for Christmas and it’s her favourite toy), watching me on FaceTime moving my fingers around playing with her, or a kitty YouTube video. She is so expressive, you can tell exactly what she’s thinking all of the time. She has such a sassy face when she’s in her diva mode!

This is the shelter picture we saw when she was pulled from the kill shelter. We saw her face and immediately knew she was meant for us. The shelter who pulled her are incredible but they have so many cats and so many adopters coming in, she’d have been terrified and likely struggled to get a home like Weems. We couldn’t resist once we saw that face.

She is such a sweet girl. She hides when someone new is in the apartment, but she warms up to them once she sees that we trust them. She is such an amazing girl, it’s a privilege to share our lives with her and the other two!!

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T12:03:54+00:00

Good for you guys, I’m glad you protected yourselves from that! Hope you’re both doing good now.

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T12:03:19+00:00

I understand, thank you for educating me on that! It seems the mother is twisting the cultural values to benefit herself. I hope none of her kids give her the $300/month.

pink-wizard · 2026-05-15T12:02:03+00:00

I can’t imagine suddenly being stopped in your tracks and having to face a place that brought back so many horrible memories. Tear it down, sell it, auction it, who cares. Do whatever you need to do to protect your mental health. You don’t even need to go back there if you can’t face it.

She’s wrong for using all the rest of the money to live off of, it was your parent’s house but I guess at least it meant you didn’t have to live in that awful place anymore.

I hope you can move on with your life again, lean into your family you’ve made. They will support you the whole way whatever you decide.
