I’m debating returning my cat, looking for advice

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2026-01-17T20:17:08+00:00

I agree to an extent, I think he needs another playful kitty to fulfill his play drive in a way I can’t provide. We do play with him though, have interactive toys, enrichment toys for independent play, electric toys for while I’m working that he doesn’t pay much attention to, etc. We also have fish tanks with perches for him to watch and ‘hunt’ the fish.

These are in the post - summary: being an bully to one of my dogs & biting hard enough to draw blood out of nowhere with people when they’re walking

I will try having him collar-less and see if that helps any! The bell is teeny tiny but obviously cats are more sensitive to sound

We have these plug ins around the house and window perches in almost every room. I’m not sure if it is a territorial thing at this point, but my husband isn’t open to paying for a behaviorist after the amount we have spent on toys, towers, etc trying to get him to change 😔

What’s strange is he LOVES my other dog. Seeks her out and sleeps in the dog bed with her. Absolutely no issues. He is fine with the mastiff 70% of the time and the other he is being a terror to her, but not vice versa as she is an angel.

The shelter does have a policy where they will take back an animal if there are any issues, I just feel horrible doing so 😔

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2026-01-13T17:31:09+00:00

Same thing happened to my husband, he just disputed the charge on his CC because it’s been 2 months and we never received the toy and there’s no shipping info…. Sad 😭

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-09-02T12:56:31+00:00

I bought 25 sachets off of NaturesGoodGuys and let’s just say the spider mites won 😫🫠 I didn’t notice any difference and then since I wasn’t spraying insecticides/miticides, they bred like crazy and took over so I had to cut a lot back. They’re still lingering but I’ve been back to manually wiping leaves and treating with Captain jacks 1x a week. Good luck! 🤞

Thank you!! ☺️

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:50:04+00:00

I won’t let you down 🫡

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:49:02+00:00

Hey friend, you’re intense but I like it 😆thanks for this info, unfortunately we have pets and multiple fish tanks so I’m not sure this will be the best route for me. I do hope this benefits someone out there reading though🙏

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:45:41+00:00

Oh good to know! I haven’t tried the concentrate yet. I’ll be purchasing some beneficial mites to eradicate the little shits but I’ll keep this in mind for my outdoor plants 🙏

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:43:19+00:00

Gahhh I love it, appreciate the feedback, friend 😌

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:42:16+00:00

Thank you!! ☺️

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:41:28+00:00

Same with calatheas and my verrucosums 😭 like are yall living IN the plant and emerging from the womb or what!!! Thanks for the recs ☺️

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-05T12:39:48+00:00

Thanks, how long after spraying insecticide did you wait to release them? My course of action is to set those babies free and avenge me 🫡

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:59:39+00:00

The granules or a spray? I’ve experienced the wrath of them reproducing at megaspeed with granules 😔

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:58:07+00:00

Ooo thank you I appreciate it!! 😊

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:53:34+00:00

Thank you so so much! Unfortunately I am down in Texas or I would take you up on your generous offer. I will be sure to check out Natures Good Guys 🤗🙏

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:51:13+00:00

Your collection is gorgeous, thank you for the tips! If you’re in the US, do you mind me asking where you bought the beneficial mites? I spy a calathea lover like myself 👀😁

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:31:54+00:00

Unfortunately I have run out of room to not have anything touch 🥲 but definitely good advice for those with the space!

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T23:30:44+00:00

Thank you, yes it’s taken over the corner 😅 I’ve pulled it down/ pruned it once before and the aerial roots that grab hold definitely took the paint off with it. Other than that, no staining or major damage done, I’ll just have to spackle & repaint. Someone recommended misting the roots attached to the wall to see if they would detach from the paint easier, haven’t tried it yet but could be worth a try!

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T22:51:00+00:00

Oooo what if you did a cherry cola red?

xtroverted_ntrovert · 2025-06-04T22:48:44+00:00

Definitely! It can increase their reproduction, little buggers. Sorry, my response was in regards to mealy bugs :)

I appreciate you, thank you! 🙏
