I truly second this. Cats don’t understand their body is causing the problem, so they avoid the environment where the pain occurs. If they keep going for soft surfaces, get a new box and put a sacrificial towel in it with litter underneath in a different location than the old one. You can slowly pull back the towel when they are being treated for the problem, and then make slow adjustments to put the box back in the old location.

My cat did the same thing, and I was losing my mind before I realized it was an infection and she was peeing blood. Afterward treatment, I bought a cranberry supplement for cats, urinary food (doesn’t have to be the super expensive vet stuff, retail is also fine), and added wet food to her evening meals. She hasn’t had an issue since (8+ years).

Straight shot to the soul

Voluntary treatment needs to be accessible to all before involuntary treatment is considered.

If anything, it’s click baity enough to draw in a skeptic and convince them to read the article and take in perhaps a new view point.

Okay yes, BUT , in Canada, that deductible is sooooo much lower. I paid a $100 deductible. I can change my plan anytime, and I pay under $40 a month. US healthcare IS fucked.

I also really liked CeraVe products, but recently found out they are on the Boycott-Divest-Sanction list for Israel-supporting companies, if that matters to your political views.

Tingly. That’s my closest word for the feeling.

Thank you for providing some real life numbers and experience.

$8k of unexpected costs can be a lot for some people, and feel like a steep price for some holes to be dug. Doing these surveys does require skilled labor and a host of professionals to analyze and produce reports.

It sounds like much of the agony comes from administrative hold ups on the government’s side, which is where my attention would be focused if I was an impacted citizen. Permitting shouldn’t take years to complete with proper reports.

No, I’m saying that it is up to the buyer to be aware of the risks they are taking with a purchase and that they accept them when they make that purchase. Just like any house, you get an assessment beforehand to make sure you aren’t buying a lemon. They wouldn’t pay $300k for an assessment; that is to dig their entire property. They might pay $1-2k for an archeologist to dig a soil pit and make a determination based on the findings. That is what reasonable risk avoidance looks like.

I’m also not advocating for the homeowner to liable for the entire price tag. I’m just in the camp that this was a foreseeable potential outcome.

It’s not about knowing, it’s about risk.

I live in an earthquake zone. I know before I buy a home, I should consult an earthquake map to see my risk of liquifaction or amplification and make a judgement based on that.

When buying a property, it is in the buyers interest to look at KNOWN hazards, assess the risk and make informed decisions. Archeological remains is a known risk of that area, just like flooding might be because of the lake front.

To add:

Niagara Region's own mapping tool shows that almost the entire region has "archaeological potential" — denoting the likelihood of Indigenous ancestral remains and artifacts being
