seasick, I think you're taking some of the comments out of context brother (and to be fair, I can kind of see how you could have; ) no need to get bent out of shape though. These guys are just offering advice and opinions; and you know what they say about opinions, right? Opinions are like A-holes. Everyone's got one. Also, just want to point out that this IS a thread about your home/family life and growing. Expect comments bro!
There's no need to close this thread unless it start taking a nose dive; so let's keep a karmic vibe in here and everyone just chill out. No need for this to get out of hand; seems like a simple misunderstanding and ultimately I think everyone is just trying to look out for the best welfare in the situation.
Next person to raise a stink will get a big furry paw in their mouth (and did I wash after using the litter box? You'll soon find out.)
Good day fellas!
