Too many critters

[henry0reilly]

Does anyone else have a spouse that tries to "rescue" every unowned domestic critter they meet?

We currently have 10 cats and 5 dogs.

Never mind the photos, are you sure you even posted in the correct forum?

No.

No.

Another man of few words, but has learned the secret of punctuation!

No wife and as much as I love animals (and wayward women), you can't save them all. You have to choose your battles carefully.

There's a lot I could say about p**** and b******, but I won't.

Thats 9 to many cats and 2 or 3 extra dogs depending on the breed.

Unless you got plenty of cash to get everything fix and enough for the food, then it's a very rough time trying to get rid of them. I have 5 cats inside..all fixed and had 3 outside that were fixed. There are 4 more..a momma an 3 little 1s. Don't know what to do with them. Going thru 30lbs of food every 2 weeks and surely can't afford to get tgem fixed. Kinda at a loss as to what to do. Humane society around won't take them. So tempted to drop them off at Humane society the night before they open with a big bowl of food and water.

I have a daughter that way. 4 cats and a friggin' rabbit. The best part is she is now at IU Southeast and the animals are still here.
My mom is the same way too. At one time she had like 30 cats she was taking care of.

You can put 'I sell stay cats.' in your signature line.

Well yes… we run a horse rescue and have taken in 2 extra dogs in the last 2 years
8 horses and 5 dogs. Last dog is a 2 year old mastiff.
Would not change a thing. But I’m nuckin futz
We really don’t don’t thru that much dog food a month but horses are another story.

A mastiff is dang near a horse! Good on you to take in animals that large.

You had it backwards. We had 5 dogs and 10 cats. And yes. I was the only one in the house not shooting blanks. It was too ooooo much.

Wait, are you feeding the outside cats? If so, you're probably actually feeding coons, rats, mice, and squirrels too. Outside cats can fend for themselves. If you're putting food out for them, ween them off. They'll be fine. Or they'll go somewhere else to find another sucker to feed them.

Lol late on the reply...some of tge outside cats are ours and fixed. We have had them as babies and are not "skilled" at fending for themselves. The momma wasn't very good at doing that. It has been a few months since anything has wondered up on the porch besides the neighbors dang cats.

you know that the "crazy cat lady" thing is real right? its called toxoplasmosis. if you google it you will never touch a cat again.

If you love your animals, keep 'em at home.

Don't do it they have camera's and you will get in trouble for dumping them... even though they were probably dumped on you. See who does adoptions at your local Petsmart. See if you can get them added to the list. I'm telling you these groups are over full. There are some cheaper places to get them fixed. Le me know if I can try to help you find a place at a lower cost.

I think the song is about boy soldiers but any time I can link a primus song into INGO is a good day.
