My neighbours always keep their 2 cats outside and they are covered in fleas so I put some Advantage flea repellent on them. I didn't even ask my neighbour's permission I just did it lmao. It was 80 bucks for 4 doses (my 2 cats + 2 neighbour cats) so they are secretly welcome.

i know you mean well, and honestly i do think any owner that lets their pet(s) socialize and can afford flea treatment(s) should administer it, so i'm not trying to scold you or anything, but some cats can have adverse/allergic reactions to advantage flea stuff, either on their skin or by ingesting it, so i'd personally recommend that you tell them you've done it. worst case scenario, they'll be mad at you, but better safe than sorry on behalf of the animals imo.

I thought the same thing but the one cat is really covered in flea sores so I decided to take the risk. I got this stuff from the vet and not the pet store where they sell low grade stuff that are more likely to cause reactions. I've seen both the cats and they're doing good luckily. Hopefully their skin can heal for a bit now.

my grandma pointed out how grades are going down and she said that if i spent as much time studying as i did drawing then i would get good grades like my brother. he doesn’t even study, he spends his whole day coding on his computer. WELL IM SORRY THAT IM NOT AS ACADEMICALLY GIFTED AS HE IS. i have three classes that all use a lot of math, you know that im not good at that.

ugh, how can someone let it get so bad that their cat has sores? we took our poor late cat to multiple vets when he developed a skin condition, and i spent £600+ of my own money over the course of a few years for his initial checkups and monthly steroid when our current vet figured it out. the occasional flea treatment is much less in comparison, and while i get it can be somewhat expensive (we don't do it as often as we probably should, but we do do it asap for all of our cats as soon as just one of them starts scratching too much), it's better than the alternative of them developing a flea allergy or skin condition because of it.
is there anything your local cat charity or similar can do? i might be a bit wary of reporting the owner(s), since the risk of the cats getting sent to a kill shelter is arguably worse, but having someone potentially come to see their living conditions might spook them into taking better care of them. idk. it's fortunately not something i've had to contend with. if you can see the cats yourself regularly and keep an eye on them, that's definitely good though !! i love cats, so i really admire you for looking out for them even though they're not yours <3

I'm glad your kitty is doing better now. It can be hard to tell they have fleas until it's bad, especially with fluffy kitties. The fleas are bad here where I live. You can see them in the grass jumping around unless it's snow season.
Luckily here in British Columbia all the shelters are no kill so I could call but I've already called about my other 2 neighbours and I'm probably starting to sound like a whiny noisy neighbour lol. Also the dad that lives there is terrifying and has a temper problem so I don't want to talk to them. I'm not even gonna tell them I did it lmao. I'm glad you understand though. They had a 3rd cat that was eaten by a coyote so now I let their cats sleep in my place. I was feeling a little guilty about my decison but with both cats sleeping in my house I had no choice cause it would be a never ending cycle. Imma just keep watching over the cats cause I'm too scared to confront my neighbours lol

oh, god. i already have my junior cat on a tight leash, and she's only allowed a few backyards over from our own. (i wanted her to be strictly indoors, but i still live at home, and my parents were largely uncooperative.) if i lived anywhere with coyotes or similar though, i'd never let her out of my sight, that's horrible!

I've got a training course for the next two days and it's going to put me so behind in work. I did a 12 hr day today and even that's not enough 
I'm stressed about every project rn. I'm stressed about my team not having enough work to do. I'm just stressed about everything lmao

I wasn’t exactly in the right either because I went and spilled something she told me in confidentiality (supposedly) because I found out a few others were aware.
Weirdly enough, when the rumors started spreading she immediately came to the conclusion that I spilled the beans. How about the three+ other people she told?
Still, she lied first and it was all a huge mind game to see if she could trust me.
Kinda just wish they'd send back this extremely delayed package right now, like... It's just some small stuff but it's been stuck for a over a month due to incorrect invoices and stuff and they do like 0 **** on trying to get it out.
I finally wrote out my list of all the reasons I want you quit my job (8 phone memo pages long).
Now to see if I actually go throu with it and tell my boss I want to quit. I'm aiming to quit by the end of October, but I'm sure she will say somethin like oh can't you stay until December whatever cause we're going to be short staffed ALL OF NOVEMBER. But I'm tired of waiting for a good opportunity to quit. We're short staffed, we have newbies, someone quits, there's never a good time to quit. I don't want to deal with the holiday stress rush. I'm done with this place. Nothing changes. My boss cannot keep people in the back, we've had so many people quit in the time I've been there. She makes bad decisions, stresses everyone out. I'm tired of being the reliable one. I'm tired of the double standards and hypocrisy. I'm tired of dealing with peoples moods and them taking it out on me. There's so much more and I'm so very tired of it. Not to mention I have back and knee pain everyday. I did not have back pain before this job.
