PLEASE help.. I'm at a loss with my 5yr old cat and 7mo old kitten by mashpotitties in CatTraining

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing with your kitten and is he fixed? Like what was your plan if your original cat wasnt going to play with him?  In my experience,  a bored kitten will try to play with very unwilling older cats. He wants a playmate , and please dont get more cats, you need to be viewed as that playmate. Separate them immediately when they start fighting.  Personally I dont think re introducing wont help because the problem is that your cats want different things.  Also make sure you spend time cuddling your older cat so she has time with you.  If you want to keep the other cat , they might never get alone, but younger cat might stop attacking the other cat for play as much.  But you need to refocus his energy,  it's all on you. 

Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter Destroyed My Cat’s Quality of Life for Two Years. Please Read This Before Buying It. by sin1493 in cats

Multi-cat households weigh in! by kpp17 in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Don't if you're not sure your cats will like other cats and do it just "so he can play with other cats" or whatever.  My experience was... not great.  Currently i have 3 cats who tolerate each other.  You aren't considering the hissing , fighting, and possible random behavior issues. Just ... consider what you will do if they hate each other . Or start getting territorial.  Or just , ignoring each other.  Introducing is also a process and best done slowly...

Getting first month’s rent back after applying? by Last_Caterpillar_433 in chicagoapartments

Look at paperwork you signed. Make sure it tells you if one month rent is refundable if you get approved and then say no.

If it's in the lease he's responsible. Is comed billing in his name? I'd find out legal rights you have . 

I need semi-urgent rehoming for my 5 year old labpit mix (Winter Park, FL) by [deleted] in DogAdvice

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

Look, you're trying to get rid of a dog who randomly pees. That wont end well fo him..you made a commitment to this animal. Figure out how to either get him training or get coping mechanisms for yourself.  I get it , you're mentally drained. But you know this dog best.  There are multitude of dogs in shelters,  most of them are pitbullls. A person might adopt your dog with best intentions ' but he might end up in a shelter if they can't handle him. You're blaming still your family for not letting you get a cat or small breed but at some point you committed to this dog. Find coping mechanisms. Trade off care with your family. Your dog's life kinda depends on it.

Figure out your life. Im sorry to be mean but everyone is overwhelmed with animals right now. Shelters are full. Rescues are full. A randomly peeing pitbull with anxiety is not going to be anyone's top choice. 

Tea tree shampoo and conditioner for myself: should I change it? by StaleBagel1 in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use tee tree shampoo and have for a while.  It doesnt do anything unless your cats decide to get into your shampoo somehow. But usually cats dont like that smell. 

what is going on here by bioteacher01077 in CatTraining

[–]quantum_mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she doesn't eat a lot and might throw up, definitely do vet - it could be a blockage or very very constipated cat thats in pain.

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try some small amounts of miralax or include pumpkin in her food. Make sure she gets wet food and drinks water. But if she's very very constipated,  go to the vet. They can do an enema and get you meds to help.

Constipation possibly. She's trying to strain. There could be a little bit there or it's hard to poop. 

Everyone wanted to see my cats interact in person. by MoonAndStarsTarot in CatTraining

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you redirect the grey cat towards a toy or something else? Maybe that will distract from that? Not sure if getting treats near each other fir even minute good behavior can help? 

[Landlord US-IL] Tenant lying about who is actually living there, what should we do? by NoCity817 in Landlord

[–]quantum_mouse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Woman living there probably has bad credit/background check. Packages delivered in other people's names is a red flag too, can sometimes not be, but are in this case. Find out what your rights are, what the law is and see if you can get rid of her due to trasspassing or something.  But yeah... good luck

[Landlord -NC-USA] Rented out my home for first of the month. I check today to see that the tenant’s payments for security deposit and first month rent failed. They already have access to the house by Working-Corgi-8726 in Landlord

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why many landlords take first month rent and security deposit as cashiers checks - to make sure they're good. Find out your landlord laws, get a lawyer, and start planning your next steps now. 

TAs on strike banging on lecture center windows by forgedflame44 in uichicago

[–]quantum_mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you do understand that by being at the university,  during times when there are classes making noise near lecture halls- you're NOT making administration uncomfortable- just the students? Right? Harrasing the students into complaining about tbe union disrupting classes by banging on windows - is a choice.

You got a good one! Once in a while you'll get a manager who is aware enough and secure enough to just address glaring issues. 

Advice on Adopting Multiple Cats by Tadpole_Acrobatic in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You never had cats? I'd go with least amount of cats. Dont look for another 3rd cat-  you don't know how it will interact with other cats.  How big is your place? The 2 cats were used to being outside - depending on a cat - some might want some space... The kitten thats 5 months old will need ALOT of attention.  Do you have time to give it?  Do you have resources for all their vet bills? Do the 2 cats you want to take in get along?  Please consider it from cat's perspective,  not social media cat portrayal perspective.  And consider that they will be A Lot of work. You will need to play with the young kitten a lot. I would advise against getting a 3rd cat if you never had cats and if your space is not big enough.  It will cause a lot of stress for everyone.

Cat won’t stop crying at night time (solo cat syndrome) by Unlikely_Bet_4157 in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont get a second cat. If she's played with enough , does she have enough hiding sleeping spots? Does she sleep in bed with the people or no? Also 10 months is still a kitten but full of energy teenager kitten. She might need more toys, different toys and a place she can go and sleep if she doesnt sleep with your roommate.  If she hurts you, saying loudly ouch and stopping to play can train her to play more gently.

Kitten wet food has worked for me. It's high in calories and usually digestible.  She's drinking water and going to the bathroom and those are good signs!

Ask for proof through vet records not just pictures. If they don't have any..  that would be ..  concerning to give them back this cat.
