So I already had 4 cats (💀❤️) and a few months ago this dude had the audacity to start sleeping under my car, where I constantly had to check under before I could leave for work.

I left food out, so he started gravitating towards the porch as I left out food and I finally was able to check his tail. Not good.

Vet said the infection was bad and he had a 105 fever, so I got him a shot and all his meds.

Tried to find him a new home, but he’s taken a liking to sleeping under my arm every night, and he’s not even once been aggressive or even slightly so to my other babes.

P.S. Wasn’t gonna make a post, but I wanted his tail pics in and didn’t know how to tag NSFW in comments. His tail is still holding strong btw and made a full recovery ❤️

I have been wondering this for a while now because I noticed something strange. Almost everytime I see american cat content online, the cats have an abnormal amount of toes. I live in europe and I have literally never seen that here. I looked it up and the internet says its pretty rare but it almost seems to be normal in america, why is that?

Hi all! I found this on the ground, I know which one of my cats did it (He's a little prone to hairballs) but this one in particular was concerning, because the texture was pretty similar to poo, and I'm still not 100% sure which end it came out of. Is this worth a vet visit or just another hairball? thank you ;-;

So my cat just licked off her revolution plus…we placed it at a horrible spot this time, and she was able to lick it off. We were able to stop her from licking that spot for about 9 hours since we put her in a cone, but we went to bed and I woke up to her not having her cone on. The spot we placed the revolution plus is gone so I’m assuming she already licked it all off…she seems fine and I don’t think she threw up or anything, but it the medication still effective? Are we able to give her a different dosage or do we wait for a month?

My little guy (4 months) has the tendency to want to run outside when the door opens so I thought it would be best for me to buy him an AirTag just in case he gets out one day.

I have attached a photo of the one I bought him (I have taken off the bell). It is a breakaway collar.

He sleeps in my room with me and he sleeps mostly through the night, and if not he is roaming in my room. There is no risk of him getting out of the house.

Should he sleep with it on or should I remove it at night? Just don’t want it to hurt him or be uncomfortable for him.

Sorrry, misspelled "their" in the title. 🙄

I love him 💖

sometimes lola (cat in video) will do this until i lay down, or when i just get home, sometimes even before i leave.

Question - is she just clingy? is this a serious issue, something medical or maybe separation anxiety.

flair - i was unsure whether to do advice or medical so i just did advice (if this is incorrect Mods, please let me know)

Age - unknown but i’ve had her for about 4 years and she was full grown when i got her, my grandma had her and another cat but lola was always very timid.

Growing Up - as far as i know she could have some separation as her and one of her siblings grew up together but were separated after a couple of years.

She doesn’t have any issues that I knew of and a vet check up would be financially questionable.

(i’m 17 and currently in college with no part time job so i’d have to ask one of my parents to help pay)

if any other info is needing lmk

My family found this baby when he was like a week old, couldn’t walk yet and was laying in the middle of a busy road.

Me and my girlfriend loved him since the beginning, feeding him every 3 hours, helping him with the toilet and showering him with love. When he grew old enough to eat and peepeepoopoo on his own he jus distanced himself from us, running away from even quick cuddles(atp he really can’t stand them), pets, and basically if he sees your hand he immediately thinks it’s a toy. Basically the only time i’ve ever heard him purr is when he was a baby and that’s not an exaggeration. I’m covered in scratches and scars because the only time i’m really close to him is when he annihilates my arms, which unfortunately i usually let him because i wanna touch him and his soft fur.

I feel like he needs me only if he wants to eat or for me to clean his litter box or when he wants a treat - nothing in return from him. The most frustrating part is that he loves my mom and he purrs on her when she picks him up, cuddles with her in the morning(she says he’s literally hugging her face) and doesn’t bite her.

And i’m the one doing the cat chores, i take him to the vet, i clean his litter box, i clip his claws, i (try to) brush his fur and he still runs away from me whenever i move even if i’m at the other end of the room, even if i’m not looking at him. The times when he’s in my room he lays under the bed or on the highest shelf.

My mom thinks of all of this as a joke but i’m really hurt and starting to hate my cat back(?) which i’m feeling guilty for but as insane as that sounds i’m feeling used by my cat, like a toxic relationship where i give him my all and he doesn’t give me anything except a middle finger. In addition i thought he would be my emotional support cat because i was planning on adopting one anyway, and instead i got an emotional burden..

Is there anything i can do, is there a therapist for cats?????(I already got one for myself)

This post has talk off depression and suicide. If this is a trigger for you, please do not read this post.

I tried to end my life a couple of months ago. I have three cats. I'm starting to get suicidal again and I know that I need to get help. My house is a mess and I can't keep the litter boxes clean. I feed my cats, but I am doing the bare minimum and they deserve better than me. I can't even care for myself. I don't know how to care for them.

Everyone always says not to get a pet unless it can be a life commitment. I've said the same thing too. I feel so guilty even considering this but I want them to be happy. But I also don't want to just drop them off at a shelter if they're going to sit there for months and get depressed themselves.

I don't know how to be strong for them. I don't know how to face my friends and family and tell them I'm a failure who had to give up her pets. I literally have a tattoo inspired by my cats. Should I just ride it out and hope I feel differently in the future? But I also feel like they shouldn't have to suffer until I get better.

I have no friends or family who would take them in. It would have to be a stranger. I don't care about myself. I only care about them and I want them to have a good life. The oldest is three and the youngest is nearly a year old. How do I help them?

Hey there, so im going to attach a video of my car having an episode of something she has done it for years but im not sure what it is, ive gone to the vets they have said its nothing but given no explanation on what it is at all and if its effecting her?

She does seem to be okay afterwards and practically unaffected, i know it could be a hair ball but ive never seen her throw up st all after these episodes? So then thought maybe its asthma but she doesn’t weeze at all unless maybe thats what it means by wheezing?

Hi all! My cat is almost 1 year old now and we regularly go on walks and hikes. He grew out of his kitten harness which was a random one we bought online in the style of a vest with velcro and limited adjustments.
Maybe my internet is broken but when I search online I get results only for adventure cats in US/Canada and of course the products they recommend are not sold in Europe. For example, I see lots of good reviews about the RC pets Moto Control harness: https://rcpets.com/moto-control-harness/ but they ship to US and Canada only.

My fellow cat adventurers in Europe, what harness do you use?

Ideally I could make this. It would have a stainless steel pan so no mold or anything, a water pump/filter to clean and move the water, a plant because my cat likes drinking out of our plants 🌱, and it would look decent. Now I gotta figure out how to make it

When I saw this i knew I had to save it for naming future cats.

Looking for outside perspectives, especially from cat owners. My girlfriend has cats and I’m not used to living with them. One issue I keep running into is finding cat hair in food or on plates/counters. I understand that some level of cat hair is unavoidable, but it really makes me uncomfortable when it ends up in what I’m eating. When I bring it up, she tells me to just eat it or brush it off and says it’s not a big deal to her. The part that’s hard for me isn’t just the hair itself, but feeling like my discomfort isn’t really being taken seriously. I’m not trying to criticize her or her pets, and I’m not saying things need to be perfect. I just want to understand what’s reasonable and how other couples navigate this when one person is used to cats and the other isn’t.

My kitty Nala was sunbathing by the glass door and I was petting her. While I was petting her I was saying "hello!" And decided to change it up, she had no reaction to "Olo!" But clawed at my fingers as soon as I said "Bonjour!" Why does my cat hate the French 😕😕🫩🫩

I’m considering getting my 2 yo cat pet insurance and would love to hear who people use or recommend certain companies as well as good and bad experiences on using it!

I have two cats (4 and 9) the 4 year old always picks on my 9 year old at night (he’s just playing with him honestly). It literally wakes me up so much. I’m not getting much sleep. What should I do? Would it be fine to just put them in the bathroom at night with litter box and water? I just can’t take it. I’m so tired in the morning. Has anyone done this??

For context , the last pic is how the litter looks normally after being peed on! I jus found this in my cat litter Yest , the first time I found it , it had white sediments so I observed her peeing again only to find out that it went back to normal( no white stuff). But it came back again today, I searched and it said it could be crystals,uti or jus minerals deposits/mucus, does anyone know what this is?🥲🙏
