An example is he will not sleep by me, yet sleeps by my wife.

He will not play fight me.

He will occasionally sit by me if cold.

He just is my wife's cat, but of course I just happen to do a lot for him 😂 in comparison.

has anyone else’s kitty done this? is it a cough or wheeze?? i couldn’t find any videos to show her vet, i recently took her into the vet last monday and they said her lungs are clear when they took a listen. the frequency has decreased since it was supposedly her litter irritating her lungs

No. I am not giving him alcohol its a joke. Saved someone a post.​

Should I stop?

I know the title sounds odd, but I’m at a loss.

I, 18M, adopted my baby, Félicitte, around 4-5 days ago now. She’s 1.5 years old and genuinely means the world to me. I’ve tried to do as much research as I could before I even adopted her (best litters, foods, etc) but I’m still at a loss for some things.

Mainly, how to “train” her, I suppose.

Shes gotten into things before, knocked over containers of food, torn up my carpet, used my shoes as a scratching post (despite having multiple) and more.

The thing is, I’m not sure if I should punish her for these things, or more specifically how to correct her into not doing them.

Usually I’ve just resorted to working around it, such as now even if I know I’m only walking away for two seconds, putting the food I’m about to eat up higher. Or hiding the shoes in the closet and shutting the door. She’s allowed to go basically wherever she wants, including one of my desks, I just want her to stay off of my work desk. She doesn’t care and hops up there anyways.

But when it comes to other things I’d prefer her not to do, how should I correct her? Is it my job to work around her or her work around me?

I know some people may think I’m ignorant for asking probably such a simple-minded question, but I want to do what’s best for her.

i walked away from my bacon i was about to cook for literally a minute. when i came back, there was a a small piece of raw bacon on my floor, and i can’t find the rest which makes me think he ate it all. i am so worried.

Found randomly when petting my cat and just wondering what it us/whether to panic? Doesn't seem to cause any pain when I touch it, doesnt seem sore and she hasnt seemed to notice it. Is in her armpit kinda area. She's 10 and an indoor cat so i doubt its a tick as it doesnt look like one but I'm just worried.

Please help, do I try and remove it, take her to the vet, or just leave it?

So I got this scratch today from a stray cat when trying to feed it some leftover chicken.

So some context, 2 cats from our little community of 4-5 houses(its like a closed off area with around 5-8 cats living) come to our house by jumping through house roofs and spend their lovely time meowing at out door for food.. they have been doing this for about 2-3 weeks by now i think. So today I was finishing cooking some chicken when i noticed some leftover chicken+bones that I didn’t use and noticed the cats outside. So i just went outside and they ran to the stairs, where i fed one cat and it took off with the chicken. The other cat tried to grab it? I think or it tried to smack the meat out of my hand which resulted in this scratch. It also then ran off with the chicken..

At first I wasn’t really concerned , but then I checked online and it kinda scared the shit out of me.. so yeahh.. it’s been like 1-1.5 hours since.

Hello, a cat has been coming into our yard. For the past two or three days, it’s been a white male stray cat. He’s very timid—he won’t let us get close and runs away, but he keeps coming back and meowing in a very sad way, as if he really has a problem or is in distress. And if you could just see his face—he looks so sad. What could be the reason a male cat is so sad? And can a cat’s emotions really be reflected in his facial expressions ?

If I get the chance, I’ll take a photo or record a video and upload it here.

Hello! I have a 4-month-old male kitten named Milo whom I rescued about two months ago. When I found him, he had several health issues due to the poor conditions he was living in. He was underweight, had ear mites and diarrhea, and was suffering from an eye infection.

I haven’t vaccinated him yet because I wanted to get his other health issues treated first.

Thankfully, everything else has cleared up, but his eye condition just isn’t improving. If anything, it seems to be getting worse. My vet initially prescribed eye drops, but they didn’t seem to help. During our second visit, he suspected feline herpesvirus and gave Milo five shots over five days, along with eye drops twice a day. that was around 4 day ago.

I called my vet to explain that I still wasn’t seeing any improvement. He told me to continue using the eye drops twice daily for another week and said that if Milo doesn’t get better, he may need surgery, which is very scary to hear.

The problem is only affecting his left eye. There’s a small, circular area of bluish cloudiness, and the area behind it seems to be pulling inward. From my research online I discovered that the eye drops contain dexamethasone, a steroid that can be dangerous if a corneal ulcer is present. However, my vet never performed a fluorescein stain test to check for an ulcer.
Now I’m terrified that I might be giving Milo medication that could actually be making his eye worse, especially since it hasn’t improved.

I’m getting a second opinion from a different vet today. I’ve already changed vets twice because I’m struggling to find answers, and I’m just so worried about him. He’s still such a little baby.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

He loves cuddling nonstop sometimes

But this yes

I recently neutered my cat (male, 10 months old, vaccinated) on 17th of October and he didn’t immediately recover from the anaesthesia so the doctor gave him a respirator booster, anti vomiting and few other medications. The pre surgery blood tests were normal.

From 18th onwards he was fine although he had become a bit dull, we assumed he was recovering from the surgical stress.

From the evening of 22nd Oct, he started occasionally refusing food. He was still walking around but mostly sleeping.

On 24th we decided to take him to the vet since he started refusing even his favourite food. The vet recommended some medications like Feline Revive+, diarest cool and another probiotic. When we fed him these he started vomiting bile. So same day, in the evening we took him to the vet again and they gave him some more medications (IV drips, anti vomiting etc). After bringing him home we suddenly saw a rapid drop in his activity. He was mostly sitting like a loaf, not moving around much, not even sleeping and looked very confused. He vomited twice that evening when we tried feeding him.

At around 3:30am on 25th oct, we decided to take him to the hospital because he was very weak. Upon arrival, the doctor did a snap test for parvo (Feline Panleukopenia Virus) and it came out negative. He was severely dehydrated so they couldn’t collect his blood sample and put him on fluid therapy.

Later that morning they did a CBC and found his WBC and platelets extremely low
WBC 0.38,
PLT 29,
PCT 0.06,
TOTAL BILIRUBIN 1.08
Direct bilirubin 0.5
They recommended a few more virus pcr tests in the evening and the blood sample was sent to the lab for examination. They found his intestine enlarged and there was blood in his stool. He was still receiving fluid therapy.

Today (26th October) his condition has deteriorated further
WBC 0.26,
PLT 6,
PCT 0.01
There is also inflammation of the stomach. The vet recommended pancreatic tests and those came out normal. Later in the evening the pcr tests from 25th came in and he tested positive for FPV (CT value 22.27). He has vomited today and there was blood in his vomit. He is continuing his fluid therapy.

We believe he had contracted FPV recently but the surgery gave the virus a chance to attack his system. Before the surgery he was a normal, playful kitten. Is this the right assumption?

We are currently just praying for a miracle.

Based on your experience, is there a chance of survival for him or should we prepare ourselves mentally for the inevitable? Should we euthanise him because he is suffering a lot or is there a chance for the virus to break down and his body to fight it back?

I’m so sorry, but if i was this cat, I’d run away too 😩
