General Daily Advice Column

Greetings! Here is a place for asking advice from members on any PG 13 or younger subjects. For Example...and I do want advice on this..

I generally feed the cats and other critters that seem to be roaming the neighborhood. Recently, there has been one very friendly cat in particular. It is probably 7-10 months old. Someone put a make-shift collar with a bell on it, but now it's getting too tight. I've noticed that when it gets spooked it seems to run the same direction towards the house kitty corner from us. With the flood from June, our local animal shelter is overflowing, so I doubt they'd really have space, but it would be adopted quickly I'm sure.. So, should I ...

A. Cut the collar off, then go from door to door up and down our block to see if it belongs to some neighbor?

B. Door to door one block but don't cut the collar off first?

C. Door to door two blocks not matter what I do with the collar?

D. Just cut the collar off and let it roam?

E. Just Call the animal shelter.

Or give your own nice advice. We want this thread to Help people, it is not a thread for jokeing around, there are plenty of threads here for that already. I will be keeping track of this thread personally, so please respect my wishes.

Thank you.

Hey This matter is equally of adult oriantation as of PG listed.






Hey i like your sprit ,am not of this kind much had hard times but ok

1: cut the bell off of course if its too tight animal torture is much more pain full than of people

2: If you can knok door to door and asked if any one lost their cat and that would be crazy but good

3: if you dont find the cat owner you can as well keep it or call animal shelter org u know

But dont leave the cat to roam free if its bushy lol

Cats ,by nature are not the most loyal of pets,If it belonged to someone(even for years) but it found regular food & adequate shelter elsewhere,it will leave it's owner without a second thought.By feeding the cat,it is possible you may have brought about a similar situation with this cat(obviously I say this whilst not knowing the full facts).

My advice is to take a photo of the cat,print it on to some flyers & put it up (with a contact number)around the local area.
When you take the photo show the collar on the cat (helps with i.d.),then you can remove the collar.

How about replacing the collar and attach the bell. then go door to door. 3 block in every direction should be enough.

If you post flyers it may take week for someone to notice and contact you.

Good luck and try not to get attached.

Qbert would like you to send it to him, but we have enough pets.

@cryomisto Please see the PM I sent you.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up bringing the cat in, cutting off the collar, and now it's so cold and snowy out I can't bring myself to put the cat back out so I've been hiding it in my room cause my roomate doesn't want a cat inside.

i'd let it out it'll come back if it's cold, cats like to be independent. It'll come back for food and water

Wow, thanks again you guys. I can't put it in a cage, that's just not in me, but it won't stop pooping all over the place, apparently I'm not good at training it or it's just a little too old to be trained at 7 months or so...but I've been letting it in and out, trying not to let the roomie know. I feed it outside, wait a couple hours, let it in for a couple hours, then when she's done with her nap she lets me know it's time to go out by standing by the door and meowing. Only problem will be if she sneaks in behind someone now that she's comfortable here and if I don't see her she will poop inside again and stink up the place.

We have one No Kill Shelter here. It is full right now.

Thanks again for all the great advice. Don't forget this thread is for you all to ask for advice too, just on anything that happens. Did you get a stain on something? Drop a plant? Spill some paint remover on the carpet? if you happen to be near the pc and figure, what the heck, lets find out what the folks on ShareTV can tell me, maybe they have a helpful idea, this is the thread for you!

Okay so I am almost divorced. I have had a few dates. I have had one boyfriend who I really like, but don't have a lot in common with right now, but we have a very common history growing up. Now I have a new boyfriend who I have way more in common with but don't feel the same about because he has kids like me and cannot give me as much attention as I want.He also has a very different upbringing than I do. The old boyfriend does not have kids and has way more free time. The new boyfriend has a better job and is more stable. The old boyfriend is not even close to getting his divorce and doesn't want his ex to find out that he is dating(in case it makes her mad and she tries to take him to the cleaners at court). The new boyfriend wants to take me out and show me off.

Who do you think would be a better choice to spend my time with?

Well, I know I've tried to be with guy's that were good for me but I wasn't feeling what I did with a guy who was supposed to be getting the divorce, so what I did when it happened the second time was try to balance out when I spent time with the guy that really had my interest. I tried to spend enough time with him to have fun but not get so use to being around him as to end up getting hurt. The guy that was stable ended up being my friend and still is. The guy with the wife ended up going to counseling and staying with his wife. I ended up hurt anyways, but, if you don't really have that gut feeling of attraction with a guy, it's very hard to stay in the relationship for very long. But, if the guy you're into is too big a risk for heartbreak, it's best to go find another guy that makes your heart skip a beat and hope he isn't as big a risk. That's just my opinion. Good Luck!

Well, I think my boyfriend is done with me. He hasn't called me in three days and I can think of no good reason, and since I can't call him where he is, he knows it...

@nerys,What does your heart say is the right thing to do?I would want the man who has the strong bond to his family.What is important here is the children.Being adults that have taken the responsibility of having children,you can't really think of yourself.I think the man with family is a better choice,he is already house broken.lol The other might very quickly resent the sudden responsibilities of family life.

I'm bored. It's ice raining outside and none of my friends want to come over. Should I invite the pizza delivery guy over after his shift? He's cute and seems funny and nice. What do you think?

So, do you have any advice for me, I need to find out if my boyfriend has another girlfriend, and the only way I can find to be sure is to just walk over to his place and stake it out to wait and see. Ideas?

Are you able to get a ride later? maybe if you can just show up unannounced you will find something out. You should be ready for a shock though, just in case something bad is going on when you get there, if you know what I mean. Good luck! ;D

@thetrekhippy Consider confronting him. If you ask him out right and know him well enough you should get all the answers you need from his facial expression/reaction.

> 4 years ago

take a jacket incasre it's cold. I don't think an outdoor stakeout is a good idea what if a neighbour spots you and calls the police?. What makes you think he is cheating (you can pm me if you'd rather)

> 4 years ago

Once you think about it his (maybe cheating)three things happen

1. you thought it you don`t trust him
2. if you ask him trust is gone ,because you did not .
3. the fact that you don`t trust him it`s over if he is or not .
