i am at my threshold with it. having a big heart sucks!

okay 2 years ago I was on my back porch and I felt something on my leg. look down and it was a huge orange tomcat. I instinctively reach down to pet him and he let me bet him. I still have leftover cat food from my cat who had passed away at the age of 22. it was winter time and it was cold. so I set up a shelter on my back porch and I fed him.

well little did I know that he brought with him a mama cat and her two baby kittens. so it being winter what do you think of that I did?

well before you know it the mother and daughter were pregnant again. the daughter it being her first left the babies out rolling around in the cold freezing rain in the dirt screaming but they're placenta still attached that I had to fix. I ended up having to bury one of them I finally got her to take to them. but since her mother had kitten she was trying to feed her mother's kittens and leaving her newborns alone.

anyways I got all eight kittens hauled off. I didn't commence to running off the mother and the daughter. neither one will go near a trap I don't care how many times I tried it I don't care what I did. the pamphlets and all this little online is bs. it doesn't work in real life. when a feral cat won't come anywhere near you and runs at the side of you. when you don't feed them to get them hungry and then put chicken and tuna in a trap that they won't go into. I don't know what else to do so I just run them off I just kept running them off running them off running them off. hoping we get through their heads.

well solely over time Fred the orange cat started coming right inside the door and bad weather. and then he brought home Casper little orange mini Me Fred was grooming them Fred was playing with them they were sleeping together and I looked at Fred and I said yes we're keeping them. he looked at me like yeah.

Fred got neutered. was waiting for Casper to come of age to get neutered ..the mini me. unfortunately he got hit by a car he's buried next to my Stella.

but before he died, the daughter came back and had two babies on my hot tub. and I noticed that Mama was hanging low so I just kept trying to run her off and run her off and she went into labor and had the kittens elsewhere thank you Jesus.

daughter she was scared shitless of me so she just took them babies and ran great thank you.

then I get a text from my very awful neighbor stating that there were a mama cat and two kittens in the hot heat they look very hot over on the side of the fence or driving her dog's crazy and I was like well they're not mine I don't know. what to tell you. went to a doctor's appointment came home and all the sudden the kittens were on my back porch.

awful convenient timing don't you think?

they were still nursing and the mother had them somewhere in the backyard not far from the porch. so I was like okay you know as soon as they're old enough they're gone.

went outside one day and there was one on the back porch and he was skin and Bones I could I mean just two way too skinny because the mama cat has a history of having babies and leaving them on my porch for me to deal with and going off and doing her thing she does not teach them to hunt she doesn't teach him nothing she just drops him off on my porch.

so I started feeding them thinking okay I could probably get home off here in a little while they're at that age where they can be easily more easily adopted so.

but now Fred my very first tomcat the one I decided to keep. he is now acclimated to human life a little bit more. I never had to teach him or little baby, oh yeah from Mama's last litter that she abandoned at 4 weeks old and left out in the middle of the yard with a huge upper respiratory infection starving dehydrated wouldn't have lasted the night in the cold yeah I have her now too.

they've never used the bathroom in a litter box they automatically go outside thank you Jesus okay?

but I was sitting at my crafting table last night and I turned around to see Fred spraying one of my paintings. of course my first reaction was like oh hell no and I jumped up and something that he is always retained from being feral loud noises scare him and he ran out now here's the issue. I don't want him back in the house if he's going to be peeing everywhere I don't.

I didn't ask for none of these animals. I didn't want none of these animals. I still don't want these animals. but I love little baby and I love Fred to a point. Fred is very capable of getting along on his own. he was 4 years old when he showed up on my doorstep. little baby is not. I've had her since she was 4 weeks . i am all she's known as me feeding her and being inside. she's more of an inside cat than he is.

because trying to keep down on all these cats coming to my house for food when I originally started feeding him and I realized she was having babies I brought the food inside. I put in a pet door. I taught him how to come in and out told him about a tv. tell him about how laughing is nothing to be afraid of. etc etc. now he seeks me out for lovies. everyday.

question now that you have the backstory. oh and don't let me forget to tell you that I sit here and do without because I pay for the cats I pay for the vet bills I pay for the food I pay for the toys I pay for their medicine I am taking a negative for myself for these cats.

and I am fed up with the mother cat she's got to go I don't know how to catch her if anybody's going to give me the regular run of the meal shit you can Google go somewhere else because I've tried it it don't work. there are nobody within 100 miles of me that can help who would deal with such things like this. I know cuz I've tried. for years you find a solution.

now Fred's pissing in my house and I'm absolutely not going to have that because that's another expensive with the enzyme stuff and the cleaning stuff and he's pissing on my stuff I'm going around with the damn black light I refuse to have my house tore up and I refuse to have my entire fucking life dedicated and and revolving around these feral cats that I didn't fucking ask for.

now is there any advice that anybody can give me on how to deal with Fred how to catch the mother how to keep the other feral cats out of my yard if they do decide to come around. or do I just need to find a home for little baby and kick Fred out the door and say oh well cuz I'm at my wit's end with it and I'm seriously looking in my inner soul right now because everything in my body is going against not being the one to care for them because I have such a big heart and I've invested so much but I'm I'm a person can only take it so much. I only have so much finances.

I have severe PTSD anxiety depression and touches of agoraphobia not to mention Graves disease and a rare sleeping disorder with a partridge in a fucking pear tree.

my mental level can only take so much stress and the cat situation has got me on overload. so before you chastise me and tell me this or tell me that come to my house and take care of the situation living my shoes for 2 years like I have dealing with what I've been dealing with paying for what I've been paying for and then and only then can you chastise me. what I really need is advice and some support and some more advice and some suggestions thank you

How can anyone say AI is helpful?

i, like everyone else, have jumped on the AI bandwagon. I have tried chat gpt, gemini, perplexity, co-pilot, and whatever else you know available language model is out there pretty much tried.

and I find that almost every single conversation I ever have with an AI model ..when it comes to finding out information, finding answers, doing tech work that I'm not familiar with, trying to figure out something that I'm not an expert at, I come away from the conversation angry, frustrated, pissed off to the max. oh! And completely without any help or a solution to the task/question that I came there in the first place to get help with.

i find that AI :

-repeatedly forget any comment i said 2 seconds before

- give me false information/"hallucinate" or guess answers instead of actual looking through the web.

- consistently throw in unwanted information, hyper fixate on a tangent, do exactly what was asked not to do.

- act like it is a person or a friend. it is neither

- act like it has been to and graduated with a PhD in psychology

- waste more time trying to "baby" me or stroke my ego

-go around in circles

and this is just the beginning of it.

here is the definition of learning..

learning

Synonyms of learn

transitive verb

1

a(1)

: to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience

learn a trade

learned to play chess

(2)

learn to dance

c

3

intransitive verb

learnable 

ˈlər-nə-bəl  

adjective

learner noun

AI is not able to do any of that because they don't have a memory. you cannot learn anything if you don't have a memory. you cannot carry on a constructive conversation about a problem to find a solution if you don't have a memory.

now if I want to have my ego stroked, if I want to have somebody baby me or make me feel like I'm the most special person in the entire world (and I say all this with huge sarcasm by the way).. if I just need a recipe for a cake then yeah I think AI is all right for that.

but I have never been pushed to such a negative mental state as I have in my conversations with AI over the frustration, the redundancy, the complete lack of even trying to look something up rather than guess, I mean come on it's a fucking computer program and it's lazy?

and I see all these rules out here going oh and I taught me this or AI help me with this and I'm like how ?why?

I know this AI bricked my laptop. by following their instructions, word for word. because I was having problems. with my laptop.. I was like I don't understand where these programs are going? they're disappearing. they're like everyday things that I do on my computer you know? I turn it off and I come back on and it's telling me oh there's no program for that. like what are you talking about there's no program? but I used to do that ..how come it's not here?

an AI had me do this little button pushing scenario on my laptop to bring up this menu and it told me to turn this off or turn that off or whatever and then it asked me to access something that needed those things turned on but now I couldn't access because I turned it off.

and you know what it did it apologize and told me that maybe I needed to take a break and that it wasn't going to give me any more information!

why is everybody else having these wonderful experiences with AI when all I have are the most horrible negative come away stressed out headache frustrated and still have no solution? what are people using that it's leading them to positivity and solutions and helpfulness and efficiency? because I have yet to experience that on a global number of AIs!

  • Will try to keep this to the point. i am a newbie with all of this stuff. Here is a list of what I am experiencing. I have router logs, Wigle, SSA Outdoor, WiFi Analyzer, Wireshark, Kali Linux and a mode monitor for packet sniffing, and more. But I am just learning because of this..

2 phones Samsung Ultra 25 (Verizon) & Motorola MOto G (Total Wireless), Spectrum Wifi, Google home, Spectrum and now tp link routers.

System functionson phones affected:

-calls in and out, dropped calls

-texts in and out

-system notifications

-app notifications

-caller ZID names changed

-5G and full bars only emergency dialing

-actons frozen

-settings changes

-charging

-apps deleted or wiped of accounts

Every account I have affected:

-no notifications via email, app or text

-constantly logged out

-constantly haviing to change password

-unknown devices in account, sign out right back

=settings changed ( paskey deleted, ermail verification deleted etc)

-stuck in loops where apps cease to work or get logged in amd bam right back to start

-photos, posts, emails, texts, history erased

-apps deleted

WiFi affected:

- sdecurity cameras no vidfero no event on timelne, no error notifications or alerts

- cannot log devices onto iwifi, constantly kicked off

-15 new networks surrounding me and i live in country with only 1 neighbor close enough to be in range of device wifi scans or my router

-devices buffering when i have high speed and device speeds are high

-passwords wrong whenI 100% know what it is and typed with out errors

-new networjks with same strength signal as my wifi

condstantly having to reconnect devices, change passwords, reset network

- constantly having repeated malfuctions of equipment, get replacement and then it malfunctins all over again

-stuck in constant loop of trying to connect and have dfevices work properly

-files erased off laptop, other lkaptop charging cord disappeared now charging port damaged

- online orders cancelklked withoiut my knowledge or approval

I am obviously out matched here. What little info I have been able to get and retain is of no help with the police. They do not believe there is a crime here. but I do have proof, the lkittle I have managed to hoid onto. It is a repeated pattern across everything digital, cellular and online and I need helkp identifying hoiw, what they are possibly using or doing. All I need are names iof anything that ciould be used to accomplish the above things being used to make my life hell.

Anything, and I mean anything I do , change, rebute catch is immediatiely sabotaged toi the pio\oint I cant communicate submit or send.

this is 100% in real time.

Not asking for a hero. Asking fir a how or why list soi I can then goi research each answer to either verify and oir get proof of and stop.

In yur best expert opinion what do yu think it is that they are using?

Side note..today when trying to contact SimplSafe support through their app the call logged as NC DPS on the cller Id. Call dropped then my screen glitched to where I was looking at my opened gallery app tht had a banner at top that said outgoing call and a minute timer ticking. WhenI pressed back it took me to an opoen website that i had never seen before, was stuck in this loop for a few seconds before I got my screen back and things were familiar. what would enable them to be viewing my phone on screens I wasnt actively using as welklk a running banner iof my current activity on my phone?

Please search yur brains for what in your best opinion it is or what it is they are fdoing exactly.

I cnt fight a war with identifying the tactic and line of attack
