i see so much debate and discourse online on whether to feed cats wet food for water intake or dry food for their teeth, but is there a reason why people don’t usually do or suggest both? like feeding dry food for breakfast and wet food for dinner, or viceversa?

also, is there a comprehensive guide of main benefits and/or ingredients to look out for in each kind?

ETA: what do you look out for in terms of benefits in each (e.g., hairball control, urinary prevention, specific dental, weight management, etc). my cat isn’t picky so i just want what’s best for her since she’ll eat anything

trying to decide on an insurance plan for my 4-year-old (almost 5) cat in manitoba (canada).

she has tartar issues on her teeth despite dental food, water additives and brushing, and will be needing to have a tooth extracted due to a cavity. would this count as pre-existing if she needs any extractions for any other teeth? and would it qualify for coverage under furkin’s “surgery” section?

i like furkin’s coverage of vet visits and the lower premiums, but would go for the dental coverage bit in trupanion if this one tooth extraction won’t make any future ones ineligible.

also, if i get insurance before scheduling her surgery, would trupanion still cover it though direct billing? or would furkin cover any of the surgery costs (e.g., aenesthesia, surgeon itself, potential bloodwork, etc)?

I’m looking to rent an apartment in winnipeg, but as a newcomer, I don’t have anyone in the country that could act as a guarantor for me.

I know in some provinces there are “third-party guarantors”, does anyone have any experience with them here? Or do you know if they’re even allowed?

Would also appreciate any other ways to go around this issue.

i recognize that this may be a bit of dumb question, but i recently set up a payment plan for a purchase for the first time, and i’m having trouble understanding how it’s processed with the way it’s showing up on my “activity” tab in my banking app (TD).

i made the purchase on june 24th for $260, which is obviously showing up there. on june 26th, i set up the payment plan, and this is where it gets confusing, because it’s showing up with ANOTHER charge for $260, and then a credit for that same amount (plus the payment plan fee of course).

i would’ve thought that the initial $260 would be credited, not that it would be charged AGAIN before the credit, essentially doing nothing for it to be taken off my balance?

also, for reference, my statement will come out on the 6th, so the period isn’t over yet. am i reading it wrong? should there be another credit to cancel out my original payment?

i’m about to enter my first year, and one of the first-year courses for my major only has morning slots for fall, and only one shows up for the current spring term, which is also in the morning.

i can’t make morning classes work like at all. do these tend to change? as in, how likely is it that next spring/fall it will be in an afternoon or evening, or even online asynchronous?
