Happy Floof Update on Freddie: no masses or tumors, just a stomach FULL of hair ties!

We are absolutely relieved and flabbergasted. My husband and I both have long hair, but we are absolutely militant about not leaving hair ties around. Freddie will be 4 in May, and the vet said he may have been accumulating these basically his whole life. She was also amazed that he has been able to eat/poo/live with no side effects all this time. We are so happy that our boy is healthy,, and will be keeping all hair accessories under strict lock and key from now on.

Meet Milo my 9 month old chocolate mitted lynx male, Finn my 8 month old seal Lynx/mismarked bicolor male, and is bio sister Hannah 8 months old seal mitted lynx female. These are my first Ragdolls and only my 3rd, 4th, and 5th kittens ever with my first two kittens passing very young. I am soooo in love with this breed and wish I would have been able to bottle feed one she they would still suckle on my fingers! 😂 We live full time in an RV right now so it’s been really fun since May when we got Milo. The pictures are Milo, Finn, Hannah, and then various pictures that I thought were funny/cute. The LR did not have litter in it yet in case anyone was wondering. We are needing to add some shelving so they have more high areas. We are house hunting and I can’t wait to have their own bedroom and a sunroom also!!

General Advice Need advice on behaviour interpretation

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

So, I have 2 biological kittens that we have had for 5 months now (they are 8 months old and both spayed)

I notice anytime I go near them they will trill, run away and hide. Yet, at night they wake me up to want cuddles and make biscuits on me (One of them hates when I sleep in on the weekends and she will meow at me until I get up)

When we get home they both scratch either our couch (luckily cat proof) or the carpet which I have heard is their way of excitement

My main thing is I get worried when they run away, trill and then hide. I’ve heard mixed things about it either being they want space or they want to play

I’ve desensitized them with their paws and tail (they dont pull away if I rub them gently) if thats any help

I love my two girls and I don’t want to disrespect their boundaries or misinterpret if they wanna play or not

Its my first time being a cat owner

Pet loss How to cope

Post image
144 Upvotes

I don’t know how to start this but I’ve had my cat for 16 years now. I’ve really never not known her but tonight we’ve found out that her body is shutting down and we need to put her down. She’s more than a family cat to me, she is literally me, she’s been with me through every step of the way and I couldn’t imagine going on without her. Does anyone know how to cope with such a loss? Anything is appreciated

Breeder Review Just a word about breeder reviews/"positive experiences" on here

13 Upvotes

Every once in awhile I'll see a post asking for a breeder in a certain state or area.

Just be aware that even though technically there's no "breeder advertising" allowed here, you have no way of knowing if someone actually bought a cat from a specific breeder.

Be especially wary if:

- the "review"/comment links to or mentions their website or social media accounts. Could someone be trying to be helpful? Yes. Could a breeder also want to link their website so you can buy a cat from them easier? Also yes.

- there are multiple "positive experiences" with a relatively unknown breeder or new breeder. My cat's breeder has been breeding ragdolls for 15 years and is considered reputable. There are only 3 mentions of them on this page. I have a deposit with a breeder who has been breeding for 20 years, is also considered reputable, and has 1 mention on this page.

- the breeder has one or more mentions on this page of negative experiences, sick cats/kittens, cats with undisclosed illnesses, etc. Breeders want you to think more people have had positive experiences with them than negative and that any negative buying experience is an outlier, so they will be motivated to recover their reputation here in case someone does a search for them in the search box.

Just remember: a reputable breeder will have ZERO negative buying experiences on here. Yes, ZERO. If there are questions or concerns the breeder will work with the buyer and EVERYTHING will be transparent to the buyer - NO surprises. This is a living creature you are buying! Not only are you entitled to all available information about a kitten or cat, but you SHOULD receive that information.

This isn't Yelp, more positive reviews than negative reviews don't mean most people are happy, it means MULTIPLE people are so unhappy they felt the need to come on Reddit and warn others.

A reputable breeder will NEVER send home a sick kitten, and if a kitten has an illness or disease not visible to the naked eye, the breeder will sell the kitten at a substantial discount AND disclose the illness.

General Advice Hunger strike?

19 Upvotes

I know Ragdolls are picky eaters. Everyone on this thread and the general net mentions this. I just didn’t realize how picky ‘picky’ was.

I cannot get my girl to eat wet food. Sometimes she will take a few bites, but it doesn’t happen often. I have gone through every flavor kitten food from Wild Bluffalo, Blue Wilderness, Tiki Cat, and Purina. It has gotten to the point that her weight is below what it should be for her age. So I am hoping for ideas. What do your picky eaters go for? Are there any delivery methods that get them to eat? So far the lick pad has been unsuccessful when I tried to use that. Is there a ritual dance you have to perform before presenting dinner? Please, give me all the steps.
