hey fellow posters im moving soon and im getting a catte

im gonna adopt one from the local shelter so i figure i'd ask the toxoplasmosis thread to help me pick one

this site, apart from a flashback to TYOOL 1998, show the list of available cattes. Preferably one that say "Steriel: ja" so i dont have to get it spayed: http://www.dierenasielgent.be/products.asp?language=nl&productgroupid=3&subgroupid=60014

its six weeks before i move so a lot of those kitties will be dead by then, so update regularly!

thats the saddest thing ive read in a while and now i dont want to play this game

its sad but that's what happens at animal shelters

in the US there's some sort of distinction between animal shelters and kill shelters, right? well not here. all animal shelters are kill shelters. its too bad but as long as idiots dont spay/neuter their pets thats whats gonna happen

two cattes.

you're going to adopt two cattes.

idunno seems like a lot of trouble esp. because im going for older ones that may not be accustomed to other cattes being around

also can we please quit the :qq: about kill shelters and focus on the fact that i'm trying to save one of them from getting killed instead of all of them getting killed?

cats that are hard for shelters to find homes for:

FIV+
bonded pairs
old dudes
black (this might not be true in Europe?)
missing bits (eg Refurb, Gilbert)

yeah maybe the black thing is true, at least ive never ever seen a white cat at a shelter except maybe if it was missing some legs and eyes

oh man, so i'm working on this purr detecting collar and i think it will actually work. i built it up to detect a 440hz tone right now since it's easy to generate and it works perfectly. next step is to get it on a collar and tune it for carmen's purr frequency--somewhere around 100hz.
purr range is usually 25-150 Hz, same as a diesel engine

the problem in detecting that is that lots and lots of stuff resonates at that frequency, so you'd probably need some waveform analysis to accurately measure it which excludes really any affordable single chip and puts you into linux territory

T -25 days for catte selection

might still go for a kitten tho bc of cuteness before it turns into a creature that would leave instantly if it wasn't for the food

think the cat thread is the best place for this: i just found this cute lil fucker in my home



what do i do with it? i know the reasonable thing is to kill it bc its a pest but it prolly wandered in here from somewhere else (first time ive ever seen one + never found droppings or chewed-on food)

it looks old enough to look after itself so just put it somewhere outside i guess?

goddammit kitty wont eat right. ever since i got her she's only eaten a single bowl of dry food (that i wetted a bit) and apart from that all she wants is hand fed treats, and today she had a bunch of cat milk that i had to feed her with a pipette. calling my sister this evening to see what's up.

soo kitty was doing really bad this morning, completely catatonic, so i got an emergency appointment at the vet. turns out her vaccinations and sterilization were waaaayyy too close from eachother and she had mad internal infections giving her a 40.6° fever (38° is normal). he gave her two shots and half an hour later she was fine, eating, all running around the house n poo poo

now i have the pleasure of giving her antibiotics for the next 6 days and sticking a thermometer up her bum twice a day. seemed easy enough at the vet's but that's when she was all lethargic, i bet its gonna be fun when she's her old hyperactive self

cat's fever is completely gone!

but i think something in our relationship has changed forever because i stuck something up her butthole

o i also noticed in her vaccination booklet that she's got a name: cloe. maybe i'll just keep that one.

associate the pills with treat time. We give pepper half an allergy pill twice a day, and shes about as cooperative as a cat can be when it comes to giving one a pill, because afterwards is PUMP-kin!

it's droplets, vet advised to mix it with some cat milk, and if that doesn't help she can have a little sugar, esp bc it would help her build up some strength and it's not something she chews so it wont gently caress up her teeth

you are a brave man to have a nice turn table like that out for the cat to reach. if it were my cat, that belt would be gnawed apart and the needle scratched completely off

i gotta say cloe's been really nice to all the nerd poo poo i have around the house. a simple "ksssh!" is usually enough to get the point across. i gave her a good scruffing for jumping on the speaker though bc that poo poo wont fly once she's >2 pounds heavy
