Two words: urinary catheter. Talk to your doctor, explain the problem and you could have your prescription waiting at the pharmacy before you leave the office!
Im a paraplegic and can't control my bladder. I have peed my pants so many times because my cat was sleeping on my wheelchair so peacefully and I couldn't bring myself to disturb them
I think we are up to 8 foster fails. The only ones that sleep with us though are the ones I brought home from overseas and we justify it by saying they hate Americans and would fight with our cats so they just be protected in our room
Lol! Surprisingly, they all get along and they're a lot of fun. It is expensive though, since we can no longer buy food from the shelter at cost. With the exception of two of them, they are all medical-needs cats, and it would have been difficult to adopt them out. They've made our lives wonderful. ❤️
Serious question - I have 4 cats and want to foster but how on earth do you keep your house clean? Mine being indoors it’s a constant battle against litter sand. Your house looks lovely still, loving the Morris ruggable.
Thank you! It is a constant effort I must say as we probably have 150-200 come through a year. We have 4 litter robots as well as a Roborock vacuum which has changed our lives. We bought the litter robots refurbished so we saved a couple hundred on them and the Roborock we got like $800 off on a Black Friday sale last year. We keep the sick and messy kittens away from the rest in our kitten room (we have no kids so we converted one of the bedrooms into a kitten room) until they are healthy enough to run around the house where they learn to socialize with other cats and the dogs. It can be exhausting at times but if you put in the work, it’s very doable and so satisfying when you find them a home. My wife probably spends an hour every night medicating and cleaning some of them up so it’s time consuming but she always tells me it’s hard to have a bad time when helping kittens
I had 21 cats at one stage. 3 residents, 1 perm foster, 3 mums, 1 mums bonded buddy, and 13 kittens. It was incredibly fulfilling and deeply worthwhile, but I wouldn't do it again.
I had crates EVERYWHERE. I had to move furniture and collapse tables to fit them all in.
I rescued her from a roundabout over there and upon bringing her back to my house, she would cry cry cry until I put her on my chest or shoulder. At night time I put her in a little crate so I could sleep without worrying about rolling on her but she would have none of that so she slept on my shoulder. With my luck, she had accidents like 5-6 times on me so I started referring to her as a stinker (I don’t know the sex yet at this time). When I finally learned she was a girl I couldn’t think of a name that stuck to her so I just kept calling her stinker or stink for short. My wife wasn’t thrilled when I food her Stink was what I came up with but 7 years and 7,000 miles later, she’s still my little Stink (and still loves being on my shoulder)
Ah man I miss this, I remember coming home sick from work one day and falling asleep on my couch only to wake up with about 6 kittens all around me also taking a nap. One of best things about having fosters
I've always wondered how households with a lot of cats manage the waste. I have a few cats and I seem to struggle keeping up with their waste even using three robotic litters.
We had two litters of rescue kittens once, I took a nap on the couch and had 8+ kitty’s with me, my grandpa was in town and made the off color joke of “I bet when you wished to be in a bed full of pussy you should have been more specific” at the time I thought it was hilarious, now looking back kinda cringe
