Given what's happened, he might want to get a check-up; I have no idea what could have killed multiple cats over a few weeks, but it might affect humans too. And then he should probably have the place fumigated, mop all hard surfaces with disinfectant solution, clean carpets with an antibacterial carpet cleaner (they do exist), and wipe all other hard surfaces with disinfectant wipes. Some of that isn't expensive, but the fumigation probably is; although a few packs of DIY ones (Raid, although more expensive than Hot Shot, is less nasty) might be sufficient, if he can hold his breath for a couple of minutes and go somewhere else for a couple of hours. Sir , the man can't take care of a cat and you want him to do as you suggest ? , is that realistic ? . Someone needs to go inspect that house he’s living in, Rick has admitted that the house is infested with rodents. |

Olivia Rodrigo added 18 more arenas to her tour. London UK she has the 02 arena (Capacity 20,000) for 4 days now. Her tour was only announced 2 days ago (I counted 75 concerts now). Looks like Olivia had Madison Square Gardens for Apr. 5, 6. She was nice enough to give Jackie a chance to take Midison Square Gardens for the 8th and 9h but like usual Jackie sat on her butt so Olivia took those two days also. Madison Square gardens capacity 19,500 and its in NY Jackie's own territory. I sure would like msims to explain if Jackie's and Olivia's careers or equal why isn't Jackie at least getting one arena.
Maybe I was wrong and Olivia isn't 2 years behind Billie Eilish but much closer. Although it doesn't look like Olivia was able to get any Wineries like Jackie.

Jackie isn’t on the same level as Olivia Rodrigo , I just want her to find a niche where she can make a living!

I have owned cats for years and the first thing that comes to mind is the feline leukemia virus. It is highly contagious among cats and pretty much a death sentence. It is also highly preventable with a vaccination, but I am guessing that was never done. If a cat had it, you should get rid of all objects (blankets, beds, toys, food bowls) before having another unvaccinated cat. Honestly, if someone is financially unable to take care of pets, they should not have them.

He's not stupid (fairly smart, actually) nor mean nor careless, just challenged dealing with people. And sometimes with new situations. If two animals died near in time to each other, I'd ask myself if there was a common cause that needed to be remedied before getting more. But everyone isn't me. |

Honestly, if someone is financially unable to take care of pets, they should not have them. There are mandatory vaccinations for cats in Michigan (and a cat obtained from a shelter would have had them), but as far as I can tell, feline leukemia is not one of them. (it isn't in Maryland either, I think, because a friend's stepmother's cat had it) He can handle feeding them and taking them to the vet occasionally. He can probably handle disinfecting and/or replacing various things (not all at once). He probably cannot do every last thing that is optimal to do, having very minimal contingency resources. But animal control referring him for prosecution is crazy. Doing an autopsy/necropsy and requiring any needed remedial actions before allowing him to get more cats would be sensible. |

They usually don't start having problem till later on in life. Where it seems dogs slowly go down hill cats seem healthy and then completely go down hill in a months time.

If two animals died near in time to each other, I'd ask myself if there was a common cause that needed to be remedied before getting more. But everyone isn't me. But apparently the vet said the last cat died from fleas...that doesn't sound like he was very aware of his cats physical condition at all. It doesn't sound like he needs to be in jail, it just sounds like he needs to not have any more cats if he can't take care of them. If he can undergo some sort of mandatory training on how to properly take care of cats and is able to execute that..okay. Otherwise...um...no. |

rickolsen: Animal Control just took Mayham. They couldn't catch her when they took Zeke and Rouge. I caught her last night. She said she doesn't think I'll be charged with Animal Cruelty. She also said I might be able to get another cat after I get my house cleaned.about an hour ago
God Bless America!

Generally, legal requirements are for something that might present a danger to people - hence rabies and leash laws. I don't believe Rick was intentionally cruel to those cats - just that he was financially unable to get them proper vetrerinary care. I'm curious as to whether he ever took in strays. If he did, one could have the virus and infect the others. |

That's inexpensive and it's giving a home to cats that would otherwise eventually be put down. I can't say whether he got a stray a long time ago, but I don't know that a virus would linger for years. |

I can't say whether he got a stray a long time ago, but I don't know that a virus would linger for years. Even if they were vaccinated at the shelter, they have to be given a booster every few years. If one of his cats had ever gotten out and came back, he could bring that back with him if he came in contact with strays. If not that you have to wonder if there is either a major biohazard or something leaking cabon monoxide or some other gas in his home. |
