Bankrupted casinos. You didn’t think he could bankrupt a country ?

Yeah there was a whole list of things and the fine for not cleaning the items. So you had to make sure you got it super clean or you would get all the fines.

Of which amounted to something close to $1000.

I spent 2 days cleaning it when I moved out to make sure I didn’t get any of the fines.

You can basically get black listed as a renter if you don’t clean well.

Aka wage theft

I moved to Chicago a few years. I go to rent an apartment. It has a “move-in” fee.

I’m like what’s that.

Oh it’s $500 that you don’t get back.

I say. What about the deposit? They say. Oh yeah we don’t require that. Isn’t that great ,?

I’m like. So move in fee is my deposit but it’s just guaranteed I won’t get it back.

Them: well it’s different. It’s a move in fee. We don’t require a deposit but if you don’t clean out the apartment to this list of specifications, we will charge you per item you miss.

Example. Refrigerator not cleaned :$150 Floors not clean : $200

Etc.

So I was super unhappy about this and complained to anyone who would listen. To which my new Chicago neighbors and friends were like “that’s how it’s always been here,”

Bro. Y’all getting fucked. Hard. Non refundable deposit where you still have to clean out the old apartment.

Wtf. Should be illegal.

Maybe the extra weight would strain his heart…,… What a shame that would be.

I’ve been arguing that people think chatgpt is legit like a fortune teller. They ask it questions about the future and believe that shit.

I actually semi agree with this post.

But parents also need to make an effort.

I got all 3 of my nieces a tablet over the years for bdays. I set them up. Turned on parental controls before I gave it to them. It was pretty easy.

Both images are AI. Just pointing that out.

You realize it’s just stolen free 3d models that are slightly altered and smoothed so they look like blobs. ?

Have you actually pulled up the meshes of ai 3d models. ?

I suggest giving that a try.

Ai is just theft. It can’t be better than a human. It can only steal from humans and slightly alter so it looks new when in fact it’s just mashing two things together. Two things made by humans.

If you have ever done 3d modeling yourself you will understand how absurd it is to believe an AI could do anything of quality.

Probability models are not able to do anything complicated that requires constant adjustment and novel thinking and problem solving.

“Ai” is literally just probability models.

Jesus.

Happened to me a few times. I think it’s an app bug.

I think this got posted to wrong post. ?

They do discounts for feral and community cats. Although Noir meets their definition of community cat , I don’t want to release him back outside. He’s basically starved.

I’m going to foster him for a while at least. Get some weight on him.

That’s very helpful information. Thank you. Yes the local shelter has discounts for feral and community cats.

I was also under the impression that neutering was less risky than spaying. Wouldn’t require as much recovery time.

Also The services are discounted at the local shelter.

I’ll give them a call Monday and see what they suggest and the cost. I need to now also get Paxtons vaccinations (boosters?) done. They are expired. I’m making that a priority too.

I felt like I had to take Noir in. Or maybe he would have died. He’s just so skinny and was injured.

But my beloved Paxton is stressed with an un-fixed male around and I don’t want to do that to him. He didn’t have the best life before me and I try to pamper him.

I’m not sure if I can separate them. I’d have to lock Noir in the bedroom 24/7. He’s now getting much more active and isn’t going to like that. But I’ll do what I can.

Tomorrow I’m also going to trim both of their front claws.

I already do Paxtons so he doesn’t get caught on furniture and blankets. We will see how it goes with Noir. That should also help lower risk to everyone including whoever vaccinates them.

Well when it’s said after only a brief introduction, it can’t be about her personality or intellect.

Yeah good point. He could be hiding pain or disease from me.

I’ll try to keep them apart as best I can. I definitely share your concerns with transmission of diseases.

My Paxton used to be my cousin’s cat and I messaged her to ask about his vaccinations.

And she’s like “he has all his vaccinations, he had them when I got him”. And then I asked how old he was when she got him and she said he was a kitten (he’s a purebred or something. She bought him).

But my research shows that 1. Rabies vaccination isn’t given to kittens. 2. Cats need boosters of the distemper. Which he has not have. And 3. The lukemia one is only given if there is a risk. And it’s also not given to kittens.

So now I’m thinking. It’s basically like he’s not vaccinated.

So I also need to get him vaccinated. He’s healthy so he’s ready for vaccines now. So that’s happening next schedule date I can get him in.

I guess I’m asking like. A month of recovery is reasonable to set up an appointment or should I wait 2? 3?

Has anyone had a cat in this state ? How long should I wait before I even try to get it scheduled cause if I bring him in too thin they will tell me to wait. I may as well wait the appropriate time the first go.

I realize all cats are different. I was just looking for a ballpark number or any other info that the vets said regarding when it’s appropriate to fix a cat that had been malnourished. Maybe 6 months ?

I have no clue. That’s why I ask.

I’m unemployed and living off of savings.

I’m just trying to do what I can. He seems to be recovering and I watched some videos from vets on how to check body temp, anemia, lyphnodes (sign of leukemia). Stools for parasites. Check coat quality for signs of leukemia and immunodeficiency.

Loss of appetite can be a sign of many problems but he doesn’t have that.

I think he did have a fever when I brought him in and had it for 2 days. But he’s up and walking around fine.

His gums are a little pale but darker than they were. So I think he was anemic but recovering.

His breathing is normal. Heart rate normal.

Vision fine. Hearing fine.

Eating . No vomiting. Could be drinking more but that’s always an issue with cats. I do have a fountain. That helps.

I made him a blended food for the first 3 days. Canned food mixed with a little water. Blended to soup. He liked that. It’s a suggested food by shelters for underweight and dehydrated cats.

I checked his claw , eye, and ear reflexes. All fine.

Eyes are clear and reactive to light .

His bottom is clean and systems work fine.

Though his stool is soft but not runny. This could be from the de wormer.

I have some experience taking care of animals and I’ve always put effort into learning basic medical care so I can spot a problem before it gets bad.

I’ve had a lot of different animals over the years. I currently also have a ball python. There aren’t too many vets for snakes so you have to learn basic medical care when there isn’t professional service around.
