Edge of the property is a good idea, I was thinking about how to get it to my protected porch area since it’s a ways away from the sidewalk where the kitty usually roams. Did you just put it on your grass?

Thank you for the cat tax 😭 Todd is adorable. Do you have any shelter setup for colder days/nights for Todd, or does he sleep somewhere else?

Your advice is sound, I think I’ll start by leaving food on my porch and letting the cat approach the property. The problem is that the cat was waaaay too friendly to be a feral, and was neutered too. The only reason it bit me was because it was startled by a motorcycle starting, otherwise it was all over me (I didn’t try to pick it up or anything). I think it is a lost pet.

I don’t think you’ve read my entire post. My neighbour’s have already been feeding it, and not taking it to a vet/giving it a safe place to stay. Only feeding. I’m trying to catch it to take it to the vet see if it has an owner/microchip. Also animal control in my city won’t get a stray cat until it has been trapped.

And it doesn’t have a “shaved patch”, it’s entire body is shaved, something that our TNR teams wouldn’t do because it cold here. I think it is suffering from abuse and that’s why I want to trap it.

I’m sure you mean well, and thank you for the advice, but ultimately I’m asking because of the things you stated in your post (shorter life, disease, etc). Because it bit me, my doctor and the local CDC said it’s better to have it under observation, and to try to get it into a controlled area. I would also like that for my peace of mind, if I can get it in my closed yard then Animal Control can come pick it up.

Having a makeshift shelter outdoors is not a bad idea, thanks!

Will contact a shelter near me on Monday to see where I can get one.

I wish I was an animal whisperer like you, but most animals are scared of me 😞

Already done, and yeah cat bites are DEEP, lol. I have my tetanus boosters already and low risk of rabies. Just got my wounds cleaned, some antibiotics, and sent on my way. Thanks though!

I think it did used to be someone’s pet, it’s very friendly to everyone, so that’s why I’m trying to get it into my enclosed backyard without a trap. A cardboard box isn’t a bad idea either, maybe I can make a makeshift shelter for them.

It’s a good story! Hopefully mine turns out a success like yours too lol

Already done, have my tetanus boosters and low risk of rabies in my city from cats. Just got my wounds cleaned, some antibiotics, and sent on my way. Thanks though!

No, it’s entire body was shaved. No tips of ears missing. I think it might have been a house cat before, and has been unable to reunite with it’s owners for whatever reasons.

I’ll call the rescues first thing Monday (since they’re closed over the weekend) and see if I can get any more advice on how to trap the cat. Thanks!

Thank you for this write up! I think yours is the best way to go about it. I hope it shows up tonight.

Thanks for the explanation!

Wait…are Chrono Cross and Radical dreamers different games?

I have this in my Steam library rn, yet to play.

It is so so strange to me that there are Americans who want Tlaib to ignore her Palestinian heritage, and be “American first” because she is a representative of the American electorate.

Ignoring the fact that she probably has Palestinian/Arab constituents, these are also usually the same people who shout about their European heritage 5 generations back or whatever (don’t even get me started about their claims of descending from Henry the Eight or whatever), and also never actually “claim” Tlaib as American in any other circumstances because she’s not visibly of European descent.

Like…make it make sense, Robert from HR, who can’t be a direct descended to Henry the Eight because it is literally impossible.

Marie de Medici would probably agree with you.

That’s because the Pixel Remasters are 2D. FF7 onwards are 3D games…

Time and a place, bro.

Flippant humor on an advice post about a deteriorating relationship due to serious health issues probably isn’t it.

Class of 09 on Lemmy??? Damn, we really are growing 🥲

If you’ve ever seen the “If you’re not in history, why are you reading Mein Kampf?” “I’m racist now.” clip, it’s from this game.

the required grind

JRPG moment 😭
