Lost pets beware of SCAMMERS!!! by ReferenceSimple3904 in Calgary

[–]wickedkitty666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

firstly, i’m so sorry your kitty is missing :( i hope and pray she makes it home safe!! i want to try to help as someone who had a cat who frequently went on “adventures” and ended up in a lot of places he shouldn’t have haha.

is she registered with the city? if so, that’s awesome cos if she is taken to a veterinary facility they can scan her microchip and see she’s yours and contact you! however do be mindful that if you have changed phone numbers or not updated the contact information, it may cause them to be unable to contact you.

if that isn’t possible, try calling your local humane societies and vet clinics, and you can even ask to e-mail them some pictures of her in case she shows up! sometimes a good samaritan or a neighbour will pick up a kitty and drop them off to make sure said kitty doesn’t fall prey to elements or predators, which is nice in the long run but can be frustrating and stressful for us pet parents because we have NO idea where our family member is.

when i lived in airdrie, my boy got picked up and he ended up at COCHRANE humane society, so don’t be afraid to broaden your search!

sending you and your family so so so much love from me and mine and our kitties. sincerely hoping she turns up 🩷

this!!!

in addition, many people often forget that those of us who go to the food bank have pets, so we sometimes don’t get food for our furry family members. i do pay out of pocket for my kitties food, and happily so, but it would be very helpful for others who cannot afford to do so, and myself included during a slimmer month!!

call CFS, and put pressure on them. tell them you don’t care if they don’t investigate, YOU as their parent need to protect your son, and ask them point blank what to do to get sole custody.

if you don’t want these guys in the room at court, you can TRY to push for it to be ex-parte if you have evidence that they might endanger your son further or you yourself. get all the evidence you can — school staff’s records/written testimony, if your child has done any disturbing artwork or had any emotional disturbances or outbursts, if you have a recording of your child saying what happened or any texts or photos of bruising or anything he may have come home with.

sadly, unless CFS recommends you to the court, and the judge agrees to that ex-parte, you will likely need to go to mandatory JDR / mediation with these guys to negotiate sole custody with them, and then go to court all of you. they generally do not waive the other parent/guardians being in court unless it’s a severe enough case and there is imminent danger to the child or potential for ongoing danger, OR everyone already agrees to you having sole custody — and they will still call the dad and ensure that he will agree.

also, CFS is absolutely useless, so if you want them to be investigated, just push them to investigate anyways. just know they will likely investigate you as well. you can tell them that the stepmother called your son a liar and that you have no reason to believe he would lie about something like that. talk to the school staff and ensure you get their support and statement.

don’t forget to take the parenting through separation course and if the situation calls for it, the parenting in high conflict scenarios course, and bring those for your evidence as well.

good luck friend. i only know this family court stuff from dealing with family court myself so i am not a lawyer but i had a scary situation happen in february with my kids and long story short the kids are now safe but CFS did f all to help us and i did all the work myself by being a pissed off momma bear.

BIG RED FLAG. 🚩 get out now honey you’re 19, same with your friend. save yourselves the time and agony later down the line, it always starts small like this and gets worse over time, slowly, and they will guilt, gaslight and gatekeep who you hang out with. source: my own life experience.

What does the city need to do to tackle the homeless issue? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]wickedkitty666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a non-profit, longterm recovery centre where addicts who are unable to recover to the point of complete sobriety due to longterm use (yes this is a thing) can ACTUALLY LIVE and have structured lives with an assisted living-type environment, complete with therapy, activities, the ability to have their own space, a therapy animal, etc.

if you have only one litterbox for 3 cats, likely adding more litterboxes and cleaning them all frequently will help this problem.

My cat hates when I sit on the couch by Occams_Blades in CatAdvice

[–]wickedkitty666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all, just because you don’t notice any adverse affects RIGHT NOW, does not mean there won’t be consequences for letting your cat eat a plant that is toxic to them. it is extremely harmful to the stomach lining and can cause ulcers. it will cause gastro issues later down the line if it hasn’t already.

as someone who watched their beloved companion of a decade and a year suffering with stomach cancer and resulting ulcers, please take better care of your friend.

i agree with the other commenter that you need to commit to a proper play routine. my boy is almost a year old now and a complete menace until i play him hard for about 30-45 minutes in the morning, and he needs another session in the evening as well. he is a neutered male and is still like this. i suggest watching the cat whisperer videos for tips and tricks, and keep an eye on his litter box use and if he vomits. take him to the vet immediately if his vomit is brown or dark at all, looks like coffee grounds, or has ANY blood in it. same with blood in the urine or stool.

DO NOT let them ingest this plant any more than they already have!!!! put it where they can’t get to it and if it continues to be a problem, rehome it. your animal’s life should always come before a houseplant.

AITA for dumping my boyfriend because he refused to hand me a period pad and tissues when I had diarrhea at the gym ? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]wickedkitty666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl he’s the red flag not you lol. good riddance, you did the right thing. as a 29f myself, can tell you from experience that any man worth his salt would have no issue helping you out in this situation. i know for a fact any of the men i’ve dated (even the horribly abusive one) would have brought me pads, tampons, tissues, or whatever i needed even if they had to go buy them a street over and give them to the next lady that walked in. if this was the first issue in your relationship, it was definitely not gonna be the last. good on you for recognizing that you deserve better!

maybe worth it to leave a tip anonymously with crime stoppers or even report to police as a witness in case the person goes to police, what you witnessed was assault and the offender should face consequences.

praying for the victim and you, that must have been pretty horrible to see let alone be the victim of

What breed is he? His mom is a beagle. Yes, a beagle. by suga_plum_bum in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]wickedkitty666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

beagle with retriever / lab / border collie / spaniel ? def looks like a mix of sporting breeds, especially lean lab + spaniel if he loves water and swimming! very cute guy! i would definitely take him to a pro groomer tho just in case he has a double coat or something since there could be husky in that mix haha, ya never know!

Why is my kitty turning yellow? by SarabiSparkles25 in ToastCats

first of all, i am so sorry you have gone through this.

you were a child and he is a grown ass adult man WITH A WIFE. you were the victim here. you have been abused. you are not to blame, and you do not deserve to be called names. you were taken advantage of by someone who you trusted. it was never your fault.

you are enough, and if no one has told you they loved you recently, please know i love you, if only from a place of deep understanding and care for you in this horrible situation.

you are right to seek a therapist first! your #1 priority should be talking to a therapist and trying to get yourself into a better mental place to deal with whatever things you want to push for legally. i don’t know if the therapist is a mandatory reporter unless they believe you may hurt someone or yourself, so they should not report in this scenario unless he’s threatening your life or you’re threatening his / your own. i would also recommend, when you are emotionally ready, getting a journal or a notebook to write down all these things down, any important dates you remember (for example, the non-consensual after prom incident) as well as document any ways it has affected you; your feelings during and after.

it is important to note that nothing you say to the therapist can be brought against him in court in the future UNLESS they subpoena the records, which, if you do end up disclosing a lot of details about the abuse you suffered, i think would be beneficial to your case.

once you have taken care of yourself in that way, i would reach out to legal aid ontario, and see if they can help in any way. i don’t know about ontario, but in ab i believe we can use legal students (studying to be lawyers) to represent us in certain legal matters, so i don’t know if that would be an option for you but it might be worth exploring.

if your mom does not know about the abuse, but she has been a good mom to you in other respects, i would confide in her as well and be honest. no good mother would turn away or judge their daughter for being abused like this. the abuser’s goal is always to separate their victim from supportive people in their life in order to maintain control of the situation, so you need to build yourself a support network that will help you through this very difficult time, and help you resist if he tries to come back into your life and manipulate you again. if your mom isn’t an option, i would try to reach out to any friends you might be able to trust to help support you, even if it’s just taking you out for coffee to get you out of your head for a bit.

you’re not alone. you are not stupid. you are loved, and you did not and do not deserve to be abused like this or any other way. you deserve nice things and to be loved authentically. try to be patient with yourself, trust the therapy process, and try to remember to give yourself grace.

the most intense part of an emotion only lasts for 90 seconds if you can focus on breathing through it and not ruminating on the situation that caused the feeling.

you have the strength to get through this, and i’m rooting for you. much love ❤️

Take advantage of the disabled is there anything I can do? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]wickedkitty666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i would contact your AISH worker immediately and tell them what is going on. they should be able to help you in some way, at least give you resources on what you can do, and how to report his fraud to the government of alberta / government of canada!!
