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

  @ Luna! Gawd, I hear ya. I get so sick of people asking me how to stop their cats from marking/yeowling. I mean really, does it ever occur to these people to get their animals fixed? Sheesh...

Aaron, some kittys don't like being groomed. I've groomed my boys since they were 3 weeks old and I STILL have to fight Hershey. But he has to sit for it. The health benefits outweigh his discomfort. If they get too matted, it's terrible. They get skin sores, which get infected which leads to a whole host of other problems. I've seen cats and dogs with maggots under their mats. Very, very nasty. (One of the many reasons I never went into veterinary work. I'd kill someone for treating ANY animal like that) Daily grooming also keep hairballs down to a minimum.

Also, there's no need for the box to smell that bad. They either need a bigger box, different litter (all litters are not created equal, lol) and/or more frequent cleaning. Food also plays a part in box smell, but that tends to affect fecal odor more than urine odor. Since they aren't your cats, maybe try sprinkling baking soda on the litter. Like, say, 1/2 cup at a time. And have your friend put soda on the bottom of the litter pan when he cleans. I always put it under the spots where they pee, then mix a bit more up in the litter. Works great, especially now that we have a tiny friggin box for them.

I wish I could find some good nip for my boys. Their kitty blunt is getting old and I noticed they don't drool on it as much. They're so much fun to watch, especially after 20+ years of having furry children who hated the nip.

It's really easy to grow.  (I would compare it's growth rate to basil, so super fast).  Just order up some good seeds and go!  I grew some and our cat went crazy for it.  It must be a close cousin to another "herb" because it can smell a bit like it once it starts flowering.  lol

I used to work with someone that grew her own catnip. I remember bringing a baggie stuffed full home and making the mistake of leaving it out on the kitchen counter...I woke up to what I can only guess was some sort of catnip explosion and a very stoned Frodo

If anyone plans on selling their house, here's a tip: clean your fucking house before the showing. Buyers don't want to see your dirty laundry all over the floor or your half eaten breakfast all over the counter. /snob

hahaha  drone so true!  It's amazing what little effort some people put into selling their house.  I remember one time we looked at a house that was first off messy as hell (it looked like at least 8 people were living in this 3 bedroom house).  Secondly, it reeked liked they cooked fish in it 24/7.  The nail in the coffin was when we opened the door to one of the bedrooms and there was a 60-something year old asian guy watching porn on his computer and possibly wacking his pud.  All I know is I closed the door faster than I thought humanly possible and we immediately left.  I think that house is still for sale years later.  I wonder why that is... 

You see it on craigslist too when people are selling their cars.  They post pics of their unwashed car with cheeto crumbs all over the interior.  Fucking lazy.

Oh my God r00, I wouldn't know what I'd do if I walked in on that scene. Maybe pour acid into my eyes and never buy a house.

r00 that is hilarious!

When we were selling our old apartment I cleaned it every freaking day! There was one time though that I couldn't get home soon enough for a showing and drago had pooped on the floor...needless to say those people did not put in an offer

Amazon has 4 dollar next day shipping (well when you have prime.) Amazon is gona be the death of me...


So I have been dropping hints about the litter box (Not just invoking Luna's name.) But he still only changes it once a week. And in fact when I bought it up to him (changing it more often might make kitty less likely to piss out side my door.) He comments that since he changed it and she pissed out side the door the next day then he may have to scoop it every day. Only thought was well ya, or you can keep cleaning up her piss. And he said it like it was the CRAZIEST idea ever. Like while I wouldn't say he is abusive to them, cuz he really dose love them a lot. HE abuses them by not really giving them that great of care... I mean, changing the litter box (scooping it at lest every other day) making sure they have food and water, before he leaves to hang out with his friend. Its kinda like making a little kid in charge of it. While the kid may do something, it's half assed at best.  And the worst thing is since he doesn't have a job it's not like he doesn't have time to change the litter box or whatever. Guh...

However that being said, one of his cats sat on my lap yesterday. They are taking forever to warm up to me. BUT they are. (I also put food in their food bowl a week ago? And they fucking loved me after that.)  However since I keep my bedroom door closed when I do leave it open he (the cat that uses the litter box) will sneak in and look around. When I come in and I see him, he is like oh shit busted and hauls ass out of there. It cracks me up.

And he still hasn't found a job. Which is starting to worry me. Cuz I sure as hell can't afford this place on my own. And the lease we have is for a year, we can break it, but its a shit ton of money to do. And I like the place we are at.  But ya, he needs to find a job soon. Granted I think last week it hit him that he couldn't be so picky given his lack of any real skill. Like he has had jobs but they aren't technical jobs. Like I have retail experience but I think it would be more the time I have that would look good on a resume as apposed to the job its self. Kind of a thing. So I think he has kinda hit desperation mode and is applying to a lot more places...

In other news, TWO days of work till my VACATION! I'm SOOOO fucking happy. Gona do some exploring, and wondering around and see MONO other wise doing fucking nothing.

Oh family drama I want nothing to do with you. Sigh

[r00]

ugh.  sorry luna.  that is the worst. 8(

[luna]

the stupid thing is that I've made every attempt to NOT have family drama in my life and after several years of calm something new has to pop up   My brother and his wife are having a thanksgiving dinner/birthday party for my nephew on Sunday and my dad seems to think he's not invited because they don't like his girlfriend who is apparently now dying (what?)...ok yeah I find her kind of irritating and I find it frustrating that he always manages to end up with someone with some sort of problems but I'm sure he's invited!

So of course instead of just calling up my brother's wife (as my brother is doing a gone for three weeks, home for 1 week job right now) and asking about it he's calling me to ask what's going on. It's not as if I talk to them very much either, she fb messaged me about it for fucks sake. Now apparently his plan is to wait for my brother to get home later this week and call him about it. jesus fucking christ

[Goose]

Ugh, I hate crap like that.  And its not even a situation where you can tell your dad to just man-up and talk to his daughter-in-law about it, because its an invitation to her event, and a conversation like that could just make things worse.

Tell your brother's wife to call your dad if he's invited, and at least put that out of the way.

[dee]

my (ex) brother in law was murdered yesterday. My nephews father. Always thought he'd OD. Unsolved thus far, We've had no real contact with him in years (years in and out of prison, drugs being more important than his son) but he's still my brother of 31 years and I still love him with all my heart. I wanna go home

[r00]

Terrible news, dee.  I don't know what to say...  I can't imagine how awful this is for you right now.

[luna]

I'm sorry dee
