MikeJF posted:A feral cat in Australia will kill something like 1500 native animals a year on average. And our native ecology is teetering on the edge in a way most other countries don't realise, with cats being the biggest threat. So we don't exactly go out of our way to make them comfortable. Same reason we don't have TNR programs. The R would be incredibly irresponsible - the life of one feral cat is not worth the thousands of dead native animals that releasing it would allow. Will Australia ever figure out that maybe bioweapons for pest control is the dumbest loving idea we've seen since someone had the idea to use nukes for landscaping? Probably not, given their track record.

I can understand the people going "get over it". When you get a cat, you should know it's likely you'll have to put it down one day. There's times when keeping the cat alive just isn't worth the suffering; and once the cat's dead, there's nothing to be done anymore. It's understandable if you can't get over it right away, but there's no innate worth in mourning dead cats. Most posters in this thread will do everything reasonable to keep their cats alive and happy, but a cat's lifespan is a lot shorter than a human's. At that point, might as well be happy for the time you had; regret and mourning will not reverse death.

On the territory issues - I've literally never had a problem with that when introducing a kitten to an adult cat. Introductions have also always been easy with kittens. And two cats has been way easier than one cat. Ended up with three cats because a family member moved to a no-pet apartment - still not really more difficult than one cat. A single bored cat causes way more destruction than three cats. I'm pretty sure I'd have space for more than one extra cat still before I'd be at that level of noise and destruction. In conclusion, get all the cats.

Echeveria posted:Guys, Abel hurt himself really bad last night. We woke up at 2am to a loud THWUMP. My husband went looking and found Abel growl-crying in the basement. The best we can figure is he fell off the ledge above the stairs and fell about 20 feet. We went to the e vet and they did an x-ray of his paws, which came back normal, and the vet gave him pain meds and we came home. He climbed up on my pillow and shook and shook, till finally the meds kicked in and he calmed down and slept. Maybe the second e-vet visit was overkill. Probably nothing more than a sprain that'll heal in a few weeks. Though obviously it's hard to not worry when it's your pet.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I need positive kitten integration anecdotes I've tossed cats younger than five years in the same room as the first introduction multiple times. It's always worked. They were friends within the day. This is with healthy, young cats with no trauma in their past, and it's basically the laziest, least sensible way of doing it - but cats tend to get along as long as there's no reason for them to be scared.

The way I see it, you've now got two options. You can adopt the Irwin, and then keep Leland and Irwin separate but aware of each other until they get used to it. Or you can toss them in the same room and record it. ... both can work just fine, but the first one is the responsible option.

Any kitten is a good kitten, but you should talk with the shelter staff for them to identify one with a Leland-compatible personality. Irwin's a good cat, and all good cats deserve homes, so now you can give a home to another.

They got computers for that. Or did a few years back. Hell-Stinky smells like piss and ash, but at least they have ok tech. Also you can grab unlimited 256kbit/s phone data for about 7eur (for a month) ooor 21mbit/s for 90 eurocents a day as prepaids, in case you didn't know.
