Men are such a locked up caste that we are not even allowed our very natural companion animal.

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

there was a stray kitten outside that i tried to bring in. i left tuna to coax it out until it was close enough to grab with some leather gloves on. it proceeded to completely freak out. i was hoping it would calm down somewhat after being restrained but it started fighting for its life. it ran away after that so i just left the tuna out in case it decides to come back. i feel really bad that i frightened the poor thing, i should have used a towel and had a cat carrier ready nearby. if it dies from its various wounds then one of its few experiences in its short life will have been getting terrorized by me

i’m sorry little kitten, i didn’t mean to scare you

the cage i got, hopefully it’s the appropriate size. i really have no interest in catching adult cats, kittens only, so this seems better. it’s maybe a bit narrow but the one i was renting took up the entire back seat, i’d worry about the activation pedal being too stiff or the door coming down and crushing the kitten
>>
>>5146283
throw a towel or blanket over the top and sides so only the opening is visible, otherwise it'll try to get the food from the other sides. you might also want to have it ready to go and deploy it when you see the kitten, so you dont end up catching a possum or similar. tuna is good luire since it's got a strong odor but obviously you're going to want to get some actual kitten food, and get ready for some vet bills because he's probbaly gonna need fecal tests for parasites and, topical/oral anitibiotics for the wound care, and maybe some gabapentin if he's too schizo to treat.
also some churu/similar treat tubes, since those are like kitty fentanyl and most sins will be forgiven with a tube of goo.

>>5146307
i have a camping tarp! i’m just keeping the whole setup along with the bait in my car near where i saw it. i’m mainly using tuna right now since it’s a strong scent, i’ll give it kitten food if i manage to bring it in. i was hoping to see if there’s any humanitarian group that handles the medical side of this but i’d be able to swallow some vet bills if need be

and yeah i’d much rather use the trap after spotting the kitten again and then monitoring the situation to see if it goes off successfully. i don’t really want to set it up blind, too many other critters that could potentially end up in it. some of the tuna i left out last night was gone so i filled it up again in the same spot, it could have been anyone who ate it but if it’s the kitten then maybe i can establish a pattern and see it show up again

My two year old cat just died because of it, Pyothorax.

he always had runny eyes, so I would clean him up and eventually would get better for months.
I woke up one day with him with eyes closed due to the crusty eyes, cleaned him up and got better, 15 days later out of nowhere started breathing with difficulties, and ended up vomiting his dinner from the day before,
Brought him to the vet clinic in urgency as the poor boy was still energic enough to move and meow.
at the end he had fluid in his lungs, they tried to drain it and give him antibiotics but he sadly passed away, it's been about 3 days now and I've haven't been able to get some proper rest without drinking myself into oblivion, he was the friendliest cat ever, fearless and would hop on anyone's laps for cuddles, If I had the cautiousness of just bringing him to the vet earlier, to realize see what exactly was his continuous respiratory issue rather than expect it to be just some inherited breathing weakness perhaps the most gentle cat I've ever held would still be snuggling to my feet.

the regret is literally unbearable.
the guy literally jumped in my life out of nowhere, I found him as a stray who literally hopped on my laps while I was at work, he snuck in the office and came to get some cuddles and food, was rather dirty, brought him home and had him as a clingy housecat for 17 months.

I'm not going to lie and say that it gets easier, because it's always going to hurt. But it'll hurt less. You can't hurt yourself this much anon. Not when you've got so much to love to give. Take some time. Grieve as hard as you need to. But don't punish yourself. Your cat died well, knowing comfort and love. There are many, many worse ways to go. Remember the good, and not the bad. Do you have any more photos of the guy?
>>
>>5146006
biggest issue, very very little of them.
I never planned to keep him but ended up with him around for several months.

I had already 3 cats before this one.
Basically I picked them while doing firefighting operations elsewhere, these were stray kittens that would be left to die all young siblings who didn't seem to have a mom anymore.
In the last years whenever there was a dam around our offices (we usually feed those strays), we would neuter the cat after finding a house from the kittens and occasionally find a house for the mom as well, sadly the older males rarely find a home so they are left as they are.

this one was different, an older male cat seems to have brought him in close to the office, and the orange cat following this older guy (who died a winter ago most probably) hopped in the office in an incredible manner, almost like he was a dog, and behaved in such friendly way.

came to get food and cuddles, I was sorta captivated by his personality and brought him home, was planning to get him cleaned up, get his runny eyes fixed for good with an antibiotic and find him a home, but never got to, especially because he was already a young adult, he should had been 9 or 10 months old when we found him, his runny eyes would re-appear every few weeks to months for a couple of days that's how I lowered my guard, in the end he didn't have any virus, just a bacterial infection that stuck with him lifelong.
his personality was just amazing, always wanting cuddles, almost overly clingy , always playful, incredibly smart (I taught him to use the toilet, the other cats are still unable to) could open the doors, then he barely ever meow unless he was sort of "thanking for the food", lastly he immediately bonded with the rest of the cats at home.

He was never meant to stay, that is why I have like 10 photos of him at best, but losing him cut so incredibly deep.

dealing with this for the past week
took cat into vet because she had what i'd call labored breathing
they said she has pleural effusion (fluid around her lungs or in her chest or something)
and instantly the vet was telling me that it's terminal and recommending youth in Asia -- despite not knowing the cause

the vet was a bit of a karen and wasnt speaking with confidence, it was the first time she ever saw my cat too and jumped to this idk it really didnt seem right, plus it blindsided us, so we dipped out and went to the ER

they did all sorts of tests, racked up a ~$3k bill... echocardiagram, blood test, thoracentesis(removing the fluid) and then sending it off to be analyzed

heart came back good, blood was good, and the fluid had some atypical things in it, they suspect could be cancer but i dont know, they play the odds and just go down the list of most common diseases

so that's where we're at and have been, she doesnt really move all day, she has a little box fort we made her that she stays in, she's still eating although not as much, and still isn't breathing so great-- but it fluctuates, it hasn't returned to 'normal' but rarely gets open-mouth bad if she isn't disturbed or stressed in some major way

that's another catch-22 is how stressed she gets from having to be placed in the carrier and taken to a vet... the juice may not be worth the squeeze seeing how they can't do much unless we want to get all sorts of other screenings and tests or whatever which could lead nowhere or to even more daunting treatment, it just fucking sucks

Rules are clear, if you want to ask 4chan for pet name you MUST go to /b/ and let them decide. Don't settle for anything less than quads.
Honestly though, don't stress out about a name right away. Just hang with the animal and a name will present itself.
I remember getting a cat and going back and forth on what to pick for a name, but I had been reading a clockwork orange at the time, and the phrase "Kots and Koshkas" was stuck in my head, and he was a little punk ass gangster of a kitty, so I named him Koshka (I didn't know at the time koshka was a more feminine form, I thought it was "cats and kittens" from the context).
Either way, we all know the only time you will call your cat by its ACTUAL name is when you're making a vet appointment.
Otherwise it will be the same ever-evolving embarrassing baby-talk string of nicknames.
I am also of the opinion that your dog gets your last name, while the surname of every cat is officially "The Cat."
