I need advice regarding items that come up missing in the middle of the night

@DeWayfarer when I got a pet bunny, all three remaining cats were feral born, but one came in as a little kitten from outdoors (black female). The other was a long time black feral male but quite friendly to humans. Third.... he wasn't born feral but spent alot of time outdoors because successive owners outright hated him (big cat, was trained by first owners to hide and jump on their backs, and he did it with claws from hidden spots) and kicked him outdoors homeless.

I had the bunny in a big dog cage, with kitty litter on either side. She could hide in the middle out of range of any swipe, and plenty of places to hide. I was slow to clean up after her poops to let the smell overpower the cats litter smell. They all got used to her, except the jumping cat who I did not really like. First time I introduced him he tried to kill her. Only time I ever heard that rabbit make a noise was in the middle of the night when it attacked the cage, but I lept up immediately from the couch, other two cats sitting on the couch with me. That bad cat died from a stomach ulcer from local city water a week later (lots of people were getting it, not me because I didn't drink the water and I switched the survivors over to bottled water like me).

I would have to sit each cat down and pet it saying Nice Nice, then take their paws and pet the bunny saying nice nice, then them again, on repeat. The black male cat liked delivering live mice to me. I kept one he found in the winter time in a cage for a week until it died..... gave it plenty of food and water, had no injuries. Guess being around cats freaked it out.

@Motzu this cat was a hunter at birth. Her eyes weren't even open when she ran directly in to me!


Don't judge a cat by its upbringing! 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's quail that she's staring at!

Must mention that she as well immediately understood what the litterbox was for. I only had to show her once.

@Colonelmustardseed I found fly infestations are solved by covering every source of light, including windows, and then opening the microwave. The light turns on, flies enter microwave. You run it for a minute, open it. They fly out, but die in a short while. Repeat. Much quicker killrate than flytape. But still use flytape.

I had a fly infestation as a kid (can't remember why, was in the basement) and also as a kid a cricket infestation (they fell from the sky like rain in central valley, california and infested everything indoors and outdoors). I would get sent into the laundryroom, told to kill all the crickets and would just swing a wooden broom at them for hours waiting for their sounds to stop.
