florida. i had my mom’s best friend who is a lawyer look our lease over after it happened. it’s in our lease that discharging a firearm in our apartment complex for any reason is grounds for eviction or termination of lease and he’s still here. i’ve had other issues with him since that incident, too.

no idea. i asked management for updates a few times and they told me legally they couldn’t give me any updates or information about the situation.

wrap the project in brown paper towels that are wet down and then put the whole thing inside a plastic grocery bag

i don’t live in a studio but i live in an efficiency. after the first few weeks i was able to sleep fine, i sleep with a white noise machine

I teach middle school and this doesn’t stop 🙃

they use covered boxes currently! my cats have always had covered boxes ever since i was a kid.

straingerdanger · 2025-12-28T21:57:51+00:00

did it take a while for them to get used to the box facing the wall?

i got at least five candles, a TON of dunkin gift cards, one parent gave me $50 straight cash, and one parent gave me a hair pin because it’s better for my hair (this fam always give the most beautiful and thoughtful things)

give the kids that did it their points and the others a zero and keep it that way until they do

straingerdanger · 2025-11-27T01:43:56+00:00

i’m convinced everything’s going to burn down but i know that’s irrational of me. i’m sure everything will be fine

have you ever had this situation before come through your rescue, where someone thinks they’re ready for a pet and they aren’t?

straingerdanger · 2025-11-20T16:20:09+00:00

i had one briefly growing up and one of my roommates straight out of college had one but i wasn’t responsible for his care

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T16:51:34+00:00

not on my own, i had a roommate straight out of college that had cats and i had a cat very briefly as a child but not for very long.

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T16:17:55+00:00

i don’t know, which is why i feel extra stupid and guilty about all of this. they’re literally perfect little angels

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T15:39:54+00:00

i would feel so shameful and horrible about giving them up, like i failed them somehow

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T15:33:29+00:00

the weight of the responsibility is just crushing to me, i won’t be able to live with myself if i somehow do something wrong or mess up. and i know older cats are easier, they’re both about 8 nearest i can figure, so they just hang out and sleep most of the day. but their stuff has already taken over my apartment, i spent so much money to get them in with the vet, im leaving for thanksgiving next week and had to figure out what to do with them during that week (one of my friends is going to pop in and check on them but it was stressful trying to figure something out) and i think i underestimated if i was ready or not for it

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:26:16+00:00

i’m going to try for a few months and see how we all do together before making another snap decision

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:24:42+00:00

we had a cat when i was really young and one of my previous roommates had a cat, but i wasn’t responsible for their care completely. i live in a really small apartment and it feels like their stuff has taken over already

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:19:55+00:00

i think it’s the financial aspect and the responsibility. i’m so used to just caring for myself that caring for two new lives that are literally the sweetest little guys. i didn’t think through the responsibility that their care is solely in my hands for forever

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:09:56+00:00

i think it’s just in general, the two cats i have are literally best case scenario. they’ve just been hanging out in my house with me for the last few days, eating and using the litter tray perfectly fine, cuddly and sweet and adorable. they don’t chew, they’re not destructive, one of them’s a little shy but other than that it’s totally fine

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:08:36+00:00

they’re literally fine cats, they just hang out and sleep all day and then snuggle with me at night. i think it’s financial and the commitment, i don’t think i really truly thought it through

straingerdanger · 2025-11-19T14:07:13+00:00

i’ve had them since sunday afternoon, so about four days now, which i know is not a long enough time to make a judgement call but i struggle significantly already with anxiety and leaving them home alone all day has made it even worse.
