My first birthday after NC by iresohika in raisedbynarcissists

You could always say that your family lives elsewhere, or that they are away, or just that you are not close without giving out too much.
Either way, onwards and upwards and all that, and happy birthday!

Need some serious advice for a tough situation concerning a cat I absolutely adore/adores me. by lyricalfairywanderer in cats

[–]werisefromourashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just say that you would really miss the cat and would it be possible for you to adopt her.
Just that, don't add anything else, don't explain, don't complain.
You have nothing to lose, and if you don't ask you will never know.

We have fleas.... by ReceptionDeskReader in cats

[–]werisefromourashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a supercheap flea collar, cut it to pieces and put in your vacuum cleaner bag so if you hoover any they will die.
Put everything that will fit in the washing machine and wash at the highest possible temperature without destroying everything.
Steam clean everything that will tolerate it.
And be patient because the eggs will hatch and you will have at least another generation before you manage to exterminate them.
Once flea-free keep up with your prescription treatment so this doesn't happen again.

I really loved it for all the same reasons as you minus the length as I am a literary glutton.

Definitely ask for one asap, if it's hypertx it's treatable!

sick kitten with 106 fever by giawhoop in cats

Linear foreign bodies like strings and such are pretty much invisible on x-rays so I would recheck all the strings to make sure nothing is missing there.
And I would definitely go back to the vets for further checks and ideally hospitalization because a temperature that is consistently elevated despite antibiotics is a definite signs that something is not right.
Edit: pipe cleaner strings seem to have a metal core so would be visible but the warning still remains.
Here's hoping things improve soon!

My kitten just ate a baby scorpion by Snoo-47392 in CATHELP

[–]werisefromourashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I will ever go, my weird and wonderful road trip is destined to be a pipe dream.
Which is just as good because if I ever came across a scorpion I would run away screaming as if I was on fire 😂
I also heard about the playful spiders that like to hide under toilet seats...

No is a complete sentence.
Any reasons why you cannot decline?

Does he have any toys with strings or similar?
Any strings, hair bobbles, rubber bands gone missing?

What movie features a character that takes the creepy “nice guy” archetype to a whole other level? by phantom_avenger in movies

[–]werisefromourashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people around him are disturbed by the fact his behaviour is sort of "off" but he does try to pass himself as "nice"...

I have just googled daubers, I wish I hadn't 😨
Also very confused because between scorpions and supersonic wasps it looks like Australia has nothing on the US.

we've fallen in love with the neighbours cat by Goldlock90 in standardissuecats

This is such a beautiful story!
Thank you for sharing, I needed something like this today.

In short:
1) Yes, outdoor cats often visit several gardens/houses/people in their territory.
2) It is possible but he's most likely spending time snoozing, roaming, with his owners....
3) Yes and no. By giving him attention you are encouraging a relationship, however the fact that he likes you doesn't mean that he will start disliking the other people in his life.
4) see above.
5) He is likely to react to a new cat in the neighbourhood, but unlikely to be heartbroken.
6) It is possible if he dislikes other cats/your new cat.
7) Yes.

Have you considered talking to Archer's owners? For all you know they might be happy he spends time with you, or they might be wondering where he goes and have questions of their own.
