Would it be weird to walk/bike in my old neighborhood? I don't like my current one.

So My current place and the place I lived before were just kind of shit for walking and biking. Cramped streets, absolutely no little parks or scenery or dirt trails. Sandwiched between two major roads. I would like to go for daily walks but it's just stressful here and inconvenient. And I was harassed at my nearest park. I've been basically couped inside for the past year and a half.

My parents have a house in a really nice neighborhood, there's a little park and dirt trail there and there's not much traffic. Always felt really safe and comfortable and even though there were houses it just felt more spread out and natural. I used to bike there every day when I lived there and it was really good for my mental health and creativity. It's about a 5 minute drive. Would it be weird for me to just stop by the neighborhood in the mornings or something? I can't help but find myself really, really missing it to the point it showed up in my literal dreams.

Anyone else have a 2 week long period?

Hi I got my IUD a month 1/2 ago and I started my period which was great, but now it's been going for roughly 14 days. I don't have cramping and other period symptoms and I'm not bleeding that much anymore, just enough it's kind of annoying but not bleeding through clothes.

And yeah I know I should talk to my doctor but this is the US and blood letting is not too bad of an alternative to debt sooo, has anyone else experienced this?

Family, last update for a minute!

Babies and mom are all reunited and doing well now, she is eating, unsure about nursing (but it has only been a day) but she is letting them cuddle and calling to them, so I think everything will be alright. She's also not being aggressive to me, no hissing, she's let me very lightly pet her back in the crate. So I'm hopeful she may be able to be adopted out at some point!

Reintroducing mom and babies, they're being aggressive, what do I do?

Had babies for a few days, just caught Mama and reunited them, but they're being aggressive towards mom! What can I do at this point? It's 2am I don't want them to fight while I sleep

First off, thank all of you so very much for your kindness and advice through this entire crazy process! I went from a kitten and mom, to mom escaping, then caught two babies the next day, and tonight I caught the last one of the litter ( I put the trap inside a box with sardines if anyone is curious)! There's still work to be done catching Mom again, but at least I can say there will be no more nights lying awake and terrified that the babies are cold and alone and hungry.

They already have a loving home prepared, I myself will keep one, probably 2 honestly. And my grandma is ready to take the rest when they're 8 weeks old. Next stop is vaccination!

I'm sorry everyone. I feel I've failed myself the cats and all of you. My first tnr effort went as horribly as it could have possibly gone and I'm starting to wish I had never messed with it.

I made a post that I had caught a mom and one kitten at my workplace. 5 weeks old. That I was going to catch the rest of the litter. I took the day off work but sat there all morning holding a string with a trap to catch the remaining kittens and it wasn't working. I thought I could bring the mom back out to use as bait. Well, she got away and ran off into my neighborhood when I brought her to my car. It was a wire dog carrier and I didn't realize the bottom had gaps wide enough for her to slip out, the blanket was covering it. But she found out and she ran and I'm so fucking mad at myself.

I messed up so much. I should've had multiple traps and I should have waited longer to trap them and I should have just left them alone and I didn't. And now we might lose the kittens too. I'm still setting food out for them and in the trap but I don't think they'll use it in time. But I'll keep trying. How do I forgive myself now? I have the one kitten and I'll be taking care of her with help so at least there's that. But God I'm just so upset. I'm sorry everyone

Mostly my fault for not getting a second trap and underestimating how fast they are. Mom and one baby went in the trap together. She has three more kittens (about 5 weeks and I think starting to eat now.) they were next to mama when she got trapped and are pretty wary of it. Want to reunite them asap. I got canned tuna and sardines cause I hear that's effective. What else can I do now? they're at my work so I can't sit there for several hours with a string unless I stay overtime. I only have the carrier the kitten is in now and I can't move it without mom flipping out

Sorry for the frequent posting, I want to make sure this adoption process goes as smoothly as possible after mama cat moved them the first time, I don't want to risk losing sight of the kittens now.

I posted a couple days ago the kittens are 4 weeks and I didn't know where they were. Well, I know now! I was setting out food for mama cat and just happened to check the feeding location midway through the day. I heard rustling noises in the boxes and supplies behind it and well low and behold it was the little calico I swore I would adopt and her siblings toddling around. Ironically the Same place they were when my boss first found them before disturbing them.

So now the question is should I give them wet food at 5 weeks or wait until mom does the weaning for me? I plan to start interacting with them every day I'm there so bringing them in is easier, but I don't want her to get nervous and move them

I've posted here a couple times about my workplace litter, I've been feeding mom, don't know exactly where the nest is though and I usually am not around the feeding location when she shows up, very skiddish, and it's halfway across the property. I have a plan that I'll start putting the food in the (not set) trap a week in advance so she isn't wary of it when it's time to catch her. What do I do about the babies though in terms of catching them?

I have a vague idea where they could be, I might set wet food closer to them, but I dont know where the location is or when she's going to bring them out

Sent my friend a custom gift a MONTH ago. It said it delivered to the UK the 15th but he still hasn't received it? He said the neighbors would have brought it if they got it, what the hell is going on
