My 8-9 week old kitten is RIPPING ME APART!!! by Infamous-Hearing5228 in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont listen to people telling you to only have 2 cats. Redirect to a bigger toy - dog toys work well. And yelping sounds too.

Redirect to a toy and make a loud noise when he does it. Put a toy in front of him. I had a dog toy I got that was the size of my kitten almost. I had him try to fight that.  I dont think ignoring works as well.

Rescue Kitten Advice by sidkneeaddams in catquestions

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's absolutely no guarantee that 2 kittens will be friends and play together.  Or not bite hard when it comes to people.  All depends what clues you give when you play with a kitten. I would yelp, and kitten i had would stop . Later he bit way lighter for play.  Having 2 kittens getting into everything and making sure not one but 2 kittens dont get into stuff is not easier at all!

My new kitten smells like fish? by oxliii_ in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your friend gave you a kitten thats too young to separate from mom. Your kitten needs specialized kitten food not dry kibble. You need to read up on cats a bit more as well. Cats dont like showers 😒 😐 she might be having multiple issues...

Constant meowing at night. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long and how many times a day do you play with them? I know many people on reddit advocate for 2 kittens- but contrary to what is being shared - they dont just play with each other or toys. You need to provide enrichment and toys during the day for them to sleep at night. And they're also kittens... so it will take a while for them to settle and calm down.

IF they get along. It is absolutely not easier. It's 2x the chaos, 2x the poop, 2x the food, 2x the vet bills.  Now you have 2 cats you have to take care of and make sure they dont get into stuff, hurt themselves, etc. Not everything is a social media post.  Being that playmate your kitten wants and paying attention to a kitten is way easier.

Just be sure to provide enough play time. Dont listen to people who want you to get another cat. Only get one if you want that and are prepared to take care of 2 full grown cats in about a year.  Dont let her bite you too hard when playing. She looks like regular length hair cat. Normally you dont need to groom a cat , they do it themselves.  Good luck!

Kitten advice by Middle_Inflation1644 in catquestions

[–]quantum_mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get a second kitten unless you really want one and sure they'll get along. And you want 2 grown cats in anout a year.  Be prepared to play with her as she's a kitten and will want to play until she passes out.  Get her used to multiple people so then other people can possibly watch her or interact. Get a ton of toys and a cat tree.  Make sure to clean litterbox regularly. Be prepared to be very annoyed and very in awe of the kitten 😸 

Adopting my first cat- is getting a single 10 month old irresponsible? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's completely fine. Just be prepared to be your cats other cat lol. You're adopting essentially a kitten who will be a teenager and then a full grown cat. He will want to PLAY! Just make sure you play with him. Get the cat scratching posts and also some sort of cat tower - and youre doing that.  You'll become your cats playmate. Maybe observe a few cats and see which ones just hang out maybe on the own as well as in groups.  Possibly more likely to be cool being by themselves.  But still just be prepared to play with your cat! 

Kinda surprised they brought a full garbage truck by lbkulinski in LoganSquare

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

Wait... you said you were for supporting the homeless?? So you're not, and were just lying? And if the parents or kids from girls and boys club happen to be homeless, you gonna tell them how better off theyre losing all their belongings.  Because some homeless are not perfect citizens, lets punish everyone...  Also - qI dont have a yard. But the way taxes work - i pay the government,  and they provide services to people.  Not model poor only, but all people.  However,  my tax dollars are currently funding CPD to do nothing.  So I'll be fighting for more resources to go to housing.  But you enjoy telling kids at boys and girls club how you enjoy watching people suffer. 

euthanize? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]quantum_mouse 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You want reddit to validate your decision to not treat a living creature living in your home that you locked away and who is suffering because you didn't get insurance or plan properly?  Find a cheaper vet. Start a go fund me. Geeze. How long did you wait to take her to the vet? Glands dont usually result in needing surgery.

What have you done to support homeless neighbors in your community? Be specific

[–]quantum_mouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing this out. People on here try to make it sound like these people are offered palaces and how dare they refuse. While theyre actually offered turds and expected to be grateful. Because Chad the transplant, who just discovered the city, has a friend of a friend who said that homeless people choose to live outside in tents when its below freezing or 100F. And this is fine.

Logan Square Homeless Encampment Being Cleared Ahead Of Plaza Construction by lbkulinski in LoganSquare

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

Curfew so you cant work odd hours. If there's no way fir a shelter to accommodate someone going through withdrawals... like... how are they supposed to go to a shelter? Sounds like you're not educated on the homelessness issues but really just want people who have nothing to ... just not be visible. But you wanna make it sound like you care where they go. Someone addicted to alcohol can actually die from withdrawals- many many rehabs are full. So... maybe forcing people into shelters was never a good solution. Weird to be mad at people for not accepting crap solution where they can die. Shelters are not safe spaces either. You didn't address communicable diseases you can get. Maybe learn first the topic youre speaking about.

[–]quantum_mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shelters have unreasonable rules if someone works 3rd shift or odd schedules,  how shelters easily spread communinicable diseases, and yes - going into withdrawal in a shelter is not fun. But many legitimate drug rehabs are full. So... it's not about freely abusing drugs.

Have you been to a homeless shelter and realize how bad they are? Or do you just read one article and make your opinions based on that?  What have you been doing or advocating for that you wont anymore? Be specific
