Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

[r00]

Called up the Doctor that I really liked working with that my crazy ex boss fired the day she bought the clinic for a reference and got a lead on a part time opening coming up at her work, woo

nice!  maybe it will turn into a full time position once they see how much ass you kick.  ;-)

looks like the new plan is to collect ei, work there part time and do an online Med Lab Assistant course so I can finally, hopefully get a proper job for a change. Fuck the veterinary industry it is fucking bullshit and I just give up.

So since this place is kinda dead a lot. And Goose does a great job of getting rid of the spam before some see it. I wanted to post thing. Since the first thing I thought when I saw the name was TPD just did a name change. However I was saddened when I found out other wise.

My roommate has two cats, one cat is awesome. The other is horrible. She pisses out side my door a lot. Like 5 times in the past 3-4 days. And I really don't get why. The litter box is cleaned out. But she still just pisses in front of my door. (well the hallway to my door.) It's getting old.

[luna]

aaron as someone who seems to have FINALLY gotten one of my cat's peeing around the house under control I offer you this advice: -the cat might have a bladder infection, cats are weird and think it's totally the thing to do to pee around to demonstrate that there is a pee related problem, your buddy should really take it to the vet and see, it's not a big deal and not too pricey even if it needs antibiotics

-the litter boxes probably aren't being cleaned/changed often enough (yes I know they're not your cats so maybe tell your buddy this?) Roxy demands that the boxes are scooped a minimum of twice a week but I have been having lots of success with every other day.

-feliway is the shit, it's happy cat pheromones, you can't smell them or anything but they seriously make cats happy...it's weird. Like when I replace the thing every month Frodo spends a significant amount of time rolling around on the floor in front of the diffuser Yeah they're a little pricey but also living with cat pee is gross so...yeah. You can get them cheaper on ebay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=feliway&_sacat=0  one refill lasts one month

Shes right, Feliway is the shiznit. On her advice I bought some and it works great. I use it when we travel (whether its to the vet or international) and I use it in new places. If you don't want to spend a fortune on the diffuser right off, get the spray and after you clean the carpet (use an enzymatic cleaner to get the smell out) spray the Feliway where she pees. She shouldn't go there anymore coz it will smell like "her" place.  You may want to shampoo the entire hallway to your room too.

Here's hoping kittys only got a bladder infection. *crosses fingers*

[TPD]

man, i wish i was named that...

and yea. my cats need it cleaned every day otherwise they get cranky. that and cat piss/shit stinks

[dee]

My boys are spoiled. I clean their box every day, change litter once a week and usually scrub the box every other week. 

(they're traditional persians so they have super long fur between their toes. A clean box is a must if I don't want dirty litter/poop prints all over the house)

[Aaron]

Luna thanks for the info. I will be hounding him about cleaning the litter box more. I don't know if I posted it before. But while he LOVES his cats he doesn't take that good of care of them... Like they have food and water but eh.... Like taking them to the vet and brushing them. (the one that pees had hella matted fur from what he told me, so he got her groomed/aka Poodled.) Like the litter box at his folks house (he lived with them before moving here) was full of shit/piss. Full. And then they would shit in front of it. And then he told me that she would kinda do her thing all over in the house. And my only though was "Would you want to shit in a bathroom covered in shit and piss?" Taking her to the vet will have to wait till he gets a job. BUT ya, I will be making him take her.

And I'm gona have to buy the happy cat stuff. Is it kinda like Cat nip only more long term? Also isn't cat nip like coke only for cats? like a huge upper? I may just buy the spray bottle stuff then get the other thing later. Just to make sure it works on them.

[luna]

It doesn't make them all stoned like catnip, just happy

[dee]

If you're roomie doesn't like cleaning the box, maybe he should get a "litter-maid". They're those self-cleaning boxes. Kinda spendy but since he's such a lazy fuck it might be worth the money. BTW Aaron, you're a much better kitty guardian than your roomie. He needs to be shot. (Just my 2 cents worth as a devoted kitty mama)

[luna]

I agree! It's weird but I've seen so many cats come into clinics that I have worked at that aren't very well taken care of and the owner is absolutely IN LOVE with them but for some reason can't do the basics to keep them happy....sigh

[Aaron]

dee <3

We are going shopping tomorrow (I have been feeding the squirrels that live in the apt area. And found that work has food for way cheaper.) So I'm also gona buy them some catnip. (even if I have to drug those cats, they will LOVE me.)

And ya, I have no clue about him sometimes. I mean he LOVES them. Which I understand, I love my puppy. But ya basic care is kinda out the window to/for him it seams. I mean basic care should be a given when you get a pet. And understanding their needs a lot better then he seams to/ or how often stuff should be done. I means its the basic care that goes along with a pet... And there are times when it fucking reaks to. And I don't mean cat just went and it smells a bit. Or that I'm just being an asshat and bitching about the box. But like I come out of my room and it hits me like a slap... The Ammonia smell is terrible at times... 

Like I'm sure getting a cat used to being brushed would be a pain, but just letting her be matted like that for a long time is a douche move. (and it's not like he was hurting for cash when he lived at home.) I'm sure she was matted for at lest 4 months before he got her shaved. And to know the cat may not be in pain, but sure as hell isn't doing good and just let her stay like that... I feel bad for the kitty to...


Also Luna, I have been dropping hints that you Dee and TPD have given me. However being a Vet tech... Well you are going to be brought up a lot...

Thanks for the help ladies.

[luna]

I think you're roomie is going to really dislike hearing about me soon

I'm already the resident animal expert when it comes to B's gaming buddies....although I think I put someone  off the time he asked what to do to get a cat in heat to stop acting so crazy and I told him to "get it fucking spayed"

[Aaron]

Eh. Well if him taking better care of his cats means not liking you as much... Worth it to me... I mean it's great he loves them. But he needs to take better care of them... They can't live on love alone...

Also cats high on catnip are awesome. The cat that pees is really lazy and just sleeps most of the day. She rubbed it all over her face and rolled around on the ground with it. The other cat licked the hell out of the toy and then rubbed it all over his face... Either way great to watch.
