HELP. Desperate to fix my cat and getting to the point that I wonder if I should just get rid of her. I've had my cat for about 10 years now and we've been nothing but nice to her. She gets all kinds of toys, treats, and attention. She's friendly and cuddly but has developed some bad behaviors. A few years ago she started peeing in the bathtub regularly (and rarely, other places) and eventually started pooping in the tub too which now happens every single day. I keep fresh litter in the box and she poops and pees in both the box and tub as soon as I change it. Trying different litter and litter boxes did not change a thing. If I leave water in the tub she just goes on the bathroom floor. Also she throws up anywhere on an almost daily basis no matter what she's fed and we have tried many different types of food both soft and hard. I've spent hundreds getting all kinds of vet exams, tests, and meds only to be told she is "normal". I've also tried tons of products like litter attractors, calming stuff, enzyme cleaners; nothing helps. Cleaning up after this waste factory is getting really exhausting and at this point I'm starting to consider there has to just be a better cat out there that's not so disgusting. Is there any way to fix her or is she too far gone? Pic sort of related not my cat but looks similar.

that sucks OP
ideas:
-a different vet?
-a large rubbermaid tote as a litter box?
-sanitizing with bleach?
-multiple boxes out at the same time?

Your cat literally had every single sign of being ill. Bullshit you have gone to a vet, or you live in some trash third world country (which I cannot help, sorry).

Have not tried a different vet. Thought about it but I've already spent roughly $300-400 total on multiple vet trips and I'm getting tired of throwing my money away when I might just be told the same thing. I've not tried that sort of container as a litterbox but I've been changing the litterbox about once a year for a while now, getting a larger one each time. Currently using the biggest covered one I could find. Unfortunately I can't fit multiple litterboxes in here or I would. I live in a tiny studio apt and I just dont have the floor space for that. And yes I have drenched the tub in bleach and several other cleaning chemicals multiple times. I use an extra strength enzyme cleaner when she does it. Also tried leaving strong smells around the area (burnt incense, orange scented spray, etc). No effect.

Russella spp.
Can't get any closer, really muddy genus. Could call it R. Emetica and no one would argue. Peppery hot if you taste it. Poisonous.

I usually don't visit /an/, but I've come for help. I've very recently become a beekeeper! (Hooray?)
So, I built my own Top Bar hive from plans off of the internet and two days ago, I captured a swarm of honeybees off of a friend's back porch. I put them into a cardboard copy paper box and transported them to my empty hive. Now I'm panicking, because I never saw the queen when I was capturing the swarm. The bees stayed in the cardboard box during the capture, none of them were trying to fly back to the spot they had swarmed on, and they're actually building new comb in my hive as of right now. But the problem is, I'm afraid they might be queenless. I'm totally clueless on how to spot the queen, as I've never done it before.
What should I do? Should I buy a mated queen and insert her into the hive? Should I just let nature take its course, wait it out, and hope for the queen to be in the hive?
>pic related, it's the swarm in the box the day of the capture

the queen is notably larger. just let things run their course.
>>
The queen is a little bigger but will be hard to spot in a big clod like that. If they don't have a queen they might disperse or slowly die but they should be fine.
Give them a couple weeks to let them settle in and check back. Try not to micromanage too much.

That's a big swarm

I want to put an uninflated soccer ball inside that horse's rectum, then inflate the soccer ball up with a hand pump, then feed the horse lots of hay doped with capsules of various-colored food dye and glitter for several days, then when its intestines are at maximum capacity, deflate the soccer ball and record a video of the rainbow horsie taking the biggest and most colorful shit any horse has ever taken.
There is a snake in this tree and my cat wants to fight it for taking his bird.

Saw this guy crossing the road about a 1/4 mile down from my driveway. Ran up to find it before it got into my forest. I'm not in the mood for a pregnant rattler to give birth to 30 baby's- too dangerous. Neighbor has lost a couple hunting dogs this year to rattlesnakes.

Lol.
State report says theres a massive rise in poisonous snake population due to people collecting kingsnakes for pets.
I have diamondback and timber rattlers, copperheads, cottonmouths and coral snakes.
Along with kingsnakes, corn snakes, mud snakes, rat snakes, racers- the list goes on.
I only kill rattlers, copperheads and cottonmouths.
You'd feel a lot different if you had someone in the yard that you loved and these guys were crawling around.
Or are you part of that group that petitioned to save that pit bulls life after it mauled its owners infant to death?

My dog really likes ice cubes, and she loves them so much she will barely chew them. Only enough to be able to swallow them. I only let her have 3 or less an evening, but I'm just wondering if this is unhealthy for her and if I should stop.

I've never posted here, but I don't know what else to do. Earlier today my young female cat came inside, and she clearly had gone through something. she was favouring her right leg and acting lethargic(?), traumatized. we thought it was her being screwed by a male stray, since she is not spayed. the reason being is I and my family dont have the money to do it. we've always found a way but lately money has really been scarce. it's really fucking with me because she is laying in the hall and she is clearly in pain or something. small quick breaths, her eyes are lidded, she sighs and sounds raspy. I don't know what the fuck to do, I cant take her to a vet.
dont have a pic of her but she is some kind of forest cat mutt so pic kind of related

Surrender it to a humane society so they can take it to a vet/euthanize it if the injuries are too severe.
>>
>>2177086
op again, sorry for being vague, i don't think it's that bad, or at least it doesnt seem it. the worst part is I dont know if its that serious or not. the quick breaths were temporary. I just have no idea what happened to her. she had some urine on her behind, which may have been when the male had its way with her if thats what happened. I also considered getting hit by a car, but if that was what happened it was very minor.
I'll keep this updated.

Are there poisonous snakes in your area?
This is hatching/birthing time for most snakes in the U.S.
Search OTC medication use for cats. DO NOT give it advil or ibuprofen they will cause death, but aspirin can be used on cats if extremely careful with dosage.

Dogs that are really attached to their owners do this. They do not want to die in front of their owners so they leave to die. My doggo did this a few years back. Best friend I ever had.

Hey guys I have a problem. I had a cat whom I loved profusely. We were partners for a long time. I had him for a couple years now. He was healthy, I took him to the vet to check if he was healthy every two months or so. And out of nowhere, I found him dead the other day lying on the kitchen floor. He was physically uninjured. And I felt a weird smell when coming inside the kitchen. Is there any posibility he died from being exposed to gas for too long? What I mean is. How can i tell if he died by that cause? Is there any way of telling? I will take him to the vet in a couple days for confirmation but I just felt like asking here beforehand.
