Just slightly overwhelmed

before I got a cat I would have said this dude is crazy. But, now, I get it. I too want to save all the kitties

Last year we lost two cats, and somehow gained three. It would have been more off it could have been.

I feel for him, that's gotta be tough. I took in 10 strays, I can't even imagine having nearly three hundred of them.

I wonder why he didn't do something earlier? I know getting them fixed is expensive (it's going to be around $200 each for the 10 I have) but neither is 28kg a day for food. At least in my case I can keep the girls separated in the house as we slowly afford to get them done.

Sizzler ,

Wow, you can get them done for free from charities in the UK.

There's a few places Here in Canada that can do them fairly cheap, but nowhere close to where I live, and they usually have a limit of one cat per year.

Sizzler ,

I just had a quick look and yeah seems like you know your local situation. That's really stupid for the local environment but someone's gotta get paid.

Ya, looked into a while back when I was still trying to make friends with these strays... the best deal I can find in my area is $150 plus tax for males, and $210 plus tax for females.

I don't have much coin to spare but there's just no way I was leaving those strays to fend for themselves and make things worse, so I'm squirreling money away to get them done in batches. My neighbor is chipping in $200 so that'll help too.

Bonus is now the neighbors are calling me the cat whisperer because the strays all come running when I'm around lol

Cat ladies are no match to this man.

I bet you there are plenty that are, but either way, if it were a woman this story was about, she would 100% be framed as a "crazy" cat lady, but it's a man, so it's the situation that is "crazy", not him..

That was a joke. I think you are looking for something that's not there.

ShareMySims ,

I understand that you were making a joke, and I went off it to make a serious point about the framing of the story.
I'm not the one "looking for something that isn't there".

You're seriously claiming toxoplasmosis gondii is a gendered issue? We need some kind of lemmy award for most bizarre takes.

ShareMySims ,

No, I'm really not, but good luck working on your reading comprehension. 👍

quindraco ,

Yeah, you really are. Good luck learning what crazy cat person syndrome is as you continue to spout off about it. 👍
