“Obligate carnivore” is a broscience myth. Cats can go vegan with urine monitoring (which you should do at the start of any kibble diet). Since cats can be vegan, and live longer as vegans, feeding your cat is animal abuse at every stage of the process.>feed cat poison>WHY THEY DIE? MEAT IS NATUUUUR
>>4879719let me guess, you're one of the guys in the other thread saying shit like meat is poison, causes cancer etc
What do you guys consider non-negotiable rules for cats. For example>no climbing on the counter
>>4879696Nothing is surprising for the bro
>try to integrate new kitten with existing kitten>end up giving new kitten away to friend as they aren't getting along>existing kitten is now hissing at toys similar to the ones the new kitten was playing withwill he stop doing this? he had never hissed before we tried to introduce a new kittenit seems like he hates feather toys now and although I'm not going to get any more of them and has never hissed at us, I fear he may start hissing at usI just want him to be happy
found my cat just sitting in the bathroom sink, staring at me, so I turned on the sink for her
>>4879820
>>4879820she wanted to drink water?
>>4879826yes. clearly sink water is better than the filtered water in her bubbler
>>4879489Seethe about it birdfag
>>4879719Kinda true nglIt takes almost no effort for your cat to go vegan. Either you are a good person and care about murdering animals, or you are not and so not. So what makes you different from someone who cheers when their husky kills a cat?

>>4879481How do I make this retard stop over-grooming the tip of his tail? He doesn't show any other signs of stress, and he's been doing it for months so it's not a matter of it having gotten anything on it. Do cats get fungal infections that make them itchy in certain spots or something? He's sweet and perfect in every other way but sometimes I'm just sitting there and this sopping wet tail slaps me in the face, or worse some litter sticks to it and he's walking around with that shit
>>4879481Please post cats standing.
>>4879947that's clearly featherless biped, a human
>>4879719>feeding your cat is animal abuselmao, talk about a freudian slip
>>4879820>>4879821>>4879826>>4879832the cat needs FRESH water in his water cup. a water cycling dish with dirty water is useless. change the water cup/dish every day
>>4879973To add to this, sometimes it helps to keep the water cup away from his food bowl and/or elevate it. They can sometimes be prissy about drinking where they eat - something to do with dead body contaminated water instincts
Would it be unfair to adopt a cat or two when I know my future is unstable and I'll be moving a lot in the next few years?
>>4880000
>>4879973probably why the bubbler has a filter then. only reason I got the thing was because she was getting finicky about drinking still water even if it had been mere hours since filling the bowl. not like I can just leave a sink running. so in other words, it's that, or risk her not drinking because I'm not changing the bowl water hourly>>4879981due to the bubbler pumping water up, it's already higher up than the bowl so unless she's flicking food everywhere, it's not ending up in there. side note, she has drank from sinks various other times in the past, before the bubbler, just sitting in the sink and watching people walk by is new behavior
>>4880026
>>4879820>>4879973>>4880026Cats like running water. I have a fountain coming in today that's open top (to prevent whisker's fatigue). I also have multiple cups of water around the apartment so they can drink from there, all away from the food.
>>4879719Stop shitting up this thread, you already tried shitting up this board with your kot hate thread.

>>4880154there's opinions and then there's being a retard spewing shit about how eating meat is animal abuse, how meat is poison, schizo shit about jews in the government etc etc
we love cats here
>>4880188I see nothing wrong with his statements.>If you're rich enough to do the kibble companies job for them and pile on the supplements while a vet nutirsh fag monitors your cat for $1000 a visit, your indoor cat can go vegan. The only real downside is if they run out of vegan food you'd need a really fucking long transition period or the shock of having to digest a bunch of meat again would fuck them up, and feeding your cat would be a nightmare of mixing supplements, foreign "superfoods" and industrial plant paste 3 times a day. Is that not how vegan humans live as well? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>Weed - yeah, he's right, this plant does legitimately threaten the pharmaceutical industry because it is several dozen non-patentable medicines that you can grow in your backyard, and "marijuana toxicity" is misused to refer to harmless marijuana intoxication in animals. but it's spreading in legalization and you can already buy CBD pills for your cat. THC unironically is not far off, especially for cats, because they metabolize it better than dogs and tend more towards ataxia and sedation when started off on high doses, while dogs tend more towards paranoia and diarrhea even on lower doses.
>>4880188see >>4880154
>>4880188>Killing animals is animal abuse according to a vegan? No wayThe founding principle of veganism is literally that all animals are of equal worth except for humans, which are worthless, so bad they're too unclean to eat, so they can only eat plants harvested by abused third world child labor.
>>4879737>no climbing counters/curtains/people>no begging or stealing human food>no antagonizing the dog/fish>no sleeping on PCs/keyboards>do not play with the toilet paper>no scratching rugs/leather/wallsI don't have many rules for cats come to think of it. As long as they piss in a box I'm usually OK with what they dog>>4879938Allergies? Neuro disorder? Is it bleeding or damaged at all? I knew 2 cats now that looked very similar to this guy that wouldn't stop chewing themselves - one fucked his front paws up so bad he had to be euthanized. The other just chewed on his right knee all the time and had to live with a cone on, until he switched to chewing on his tail and they amputated part of his tail. But one night he got the cone off and it was just not good, ripped his own belly wide open and had to be euth. Don't know why they did that, vets chalked it up to neuro since they showed no signs of stress or pain and tests came back clear. I always wondered if it was a breed thing or related to that sort of chocolate color.Not to spook you because your guy doesn't seem to be that bad off, just a bit of a wet tail. But there may not be any explanation for it.>>4880002IDK if you know the state of animal overpopulation in the current year +4, but it will not be easy to re-home them or even drop them off at a shelter anymore if that's what you're worried about. People have been actually having to euthanize their healthy family pets because shelters aren't doing it anymore.Now if you're just worried about moving with cats, they'll be fine with moving around. They didn't become one of the worst invasive by not adapting to change.
I wish I had a cat but my wife's allergic.

Is this a rare genetic phenomenon or is just a random tortoiseshell pattern? There is a kitten outside that looks like this. Complete with the little black patches on the body that makes it look like it came out of a chimney....I kind of want that kitten even if it has 2 other siblings and I already have 3 cats. And the mom is so friendly too. Sucks.

I know there's a lot of F.U.D. and r/cats seething around vegan cat foods and sperging about muh nature muh obligate carnivore because of taurine and arginine, which is stupid because that's like saying humans are obligate liver-vores because of our vitamin and amino needs, but this vegan cat food 100% works.https://www.veggiepets.com/vegan-cat-foodThe same logic that says you can't have a vegan cat also says you can't be a vegan human and that humans and dogs are obligate carnivores. Obviously, that is false. With advanced nutritional science any animal can be vegan. Meat is outdated. Stop fucking murdering animals.>inb4 doomsday preppers: i murder animals all the time in case walmart runs out of vegan foods! and this is totally animal abuse even though i am murdering animals to feed my cat! durr i wont give money to le jews! i wont depend on le globohomo durr! i would rather murder my fellow sentient beings and sully my soul in the eyes of God and be punished than spend money that might go to one single hebrew black person bla bla bla *right wing idiocy*Nope. Get. Your. Fucking. FACTS.https://vegan.com/info/cats/https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/sep/13/cats-may-get-health-benefits-from-vegan-diet-study-suggestshttps://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/15fotv7/yes_vegan_cats_are_a_thing_and_there_is_some/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9860667/If cats can not just survive, but thrive as vegans, they do not have to eat meat (and neither do you). Therefore your choice to feed your cat the products of animal abuse was not necessary.Murder is outdated. Either you are a good person and won't support the systematic torture and murder of sentient beings, or you're no different from a chinese cat torturer.
>>4879524>retarded vegansDidn't you know why veganism, aka respecting all life correlates with higher IQ? For the same reason the chinese are high IQ but don't respect any life. Either you respect life, or you don't. It's that simple. Dumb people are inconsistent. Smart people are logical. Which one are you?You can not logically pick and choose which life you like. Life is life.
>>4880734Logical people are far more likely to join cults than illogical ones. Also people that get educated in using reason will reason for deeply held convictions that they had prior to their education so everything is fucked regardless and you can´t trust anything or anyone including yourself.
>>4880742>you cant trust yourself!>the issue: “killing and suffering are bad”Veg/an/a opponents btfo themselves every time
>>4880733Cats should only eat bug based kibbleVegans are complicit in murdering bugs for plant agriculture anyways, because bugs cant suffer. Everyone wins. Besides, dont cats already live in pods and own nothing? Eating healthy and cruelty free worm chow would be an upgrade.

Moved out and adopted my first cat since I was never allowed to have any pets. This is HachiSome observations: He only licks his food so I’ve had to mix his pate with water to make soup in order for him to finish his bowl. He tries to bury this soup.He is neutered but still has the sack. Will he have the sack forever? He doesn’t play with wand/feather toys and he’s Not very food motivated.Doesn’t like boxes. Pretty chill but I don’t understand what he’s trying to say to me when he meows but he Likes to cuddleHe tries to get in front of me when I walk so I end up accidentally tripping over him/kicking him. He doesn’t mind.
>>4880993Looks like a true fellow. Introduce him to things he may not understand yet like being carried/chilling on your shoulder, or being inside box. Cats are all different. Some love being held others don't. Gotta love them for who they are. :)
What do you call this pose?

>>4879481Sneed Cat
>>4880993I think the soup thing might be over-kill, he's an adult ass cat he must have eaten enough food to survive this far. They do tend to 'bury' their food to 'save it' for later. >Will he have the sack forever?It takes time for the scrotum to shrink in size, but so long as there wasn't any abnormal skin stretching like testicular masses it should reduce down to size over the course of a year. It is very gradual. He is pretty cute, glad you found a cuddly one.>>4880977My brother has a ratter cross that single handedly killed 150 rats and mice in a neighbor's barn in about 2 hours that their ~200 cats couldn't. I love cats, but they are more of a deterrent than control.

One of my cats (neutered male) keeps fighting with a neighbor cat (neutered male). They are literally tearing each other apart. He has had 4 serious wounds this year, and the neighbor says their cat comes home bloody and injured as well. Neither cat will tolerate staying indoors full-time, so we are at an impasse. I chase their cat away when I see it, and they do the same to mine. He went out today for the first time after two weeks healing a shoulder wound, and I heard them yowling at each other after sundown. I was able to get outside fast enough to bring him in before a fight, but I don’t know what to do. Is there a way to get them to stop fighting?

I tried searching why do cat collars have bells and I got the wrong answer. I get that it alerts prey so your cat doesn't come in contact with some diseased animal, but wouldn't it alert predators at the same time? Most cats that would be wearing a collar live in places where they wont harm the ecosystem and they wont be hunted, well by cars at least. On my cats collar, I taped up the keychain so the nameplate doesnt rattle. So why have a bell on the collar

>>4881511I hate outdoor cats as much as the next guy, but can you coordinate what times y'all let your cats out so they are out at different times?

If it goes outdoor unsupervised though, there's only so much you can do as it will likely find food elsewhere. >>4881614That is literally why anon, idk what to tell you. The main reason people get collars with bells is because they think it will stop their cat from killing birds. Whether it's a good or effective tool is another thing entirely. >>4881661Wet cat food, pate stuff should be easy on him.>>4881748marbled rye with a lot of flour on it

>>48819271) Cats would taste horrid due to their mostly carnivore diet2) Cats carry a LOT of parasites that are zoonotic to humans, that do not only reside in the intestines and may be in the muscles and fat3) Cats, especially in America, are very likely to have loads of medicines and vaccines in them not suitable for consumption that either have a long half life or no known half lifeI'm all for making the most of invasive, but don't eat cats.

>>4881942Such a beautiful culture
>>4881933I have actually eaten mountain lion. It's fucking delicious. Nam vet relatives tell me both dog and domestic cat taste like "shit - even if a white man cooks it" so maybe it's because pumas are more muscular and have better diets, while dogs and cats are habitual garbage scavengers.
>>4879938a lot of that is boredom. Cats are indoors all day while youre socializing at work or out and about and they are very intelligent animals. Maybe leave boxes and bags around with hidden crumpled paper balls for him to find in a different place every day and redecorate his favorite areas every now and then with a new setup to jump in and explore. just grocery paper bags and boxes are often more entertaining then expensive toys.Turn tv on for birds to watch or dog walk videos and they are very engaging to cats.

I have a question. Why does my new cat just randomly grab me and then bite me. He will be purring away and I won’t even be touching me and then paws grab whatever body part he’s gonna bite and then he brings it to his mouth.
>>4884048If it's only a gentle bite, it's because he's a retard and doesn't know a better way of saying 'stop now'.
>>4884059It’s usually a gentle bite but I’ll just be laying in bed under my blanket not touching him and he will sneak under to bite my knees

Under good enough lighting I could probably find some faded scars from one of my previous, feistier cats, but my current cat is a wimp who knows his place.Though ironically probably my worst scratch ever was from my current cat (not on purpose of course). I just picked him up one day, his back paw slipped out from my hand, and he raked the back of my right hand while squirming around unsupported. One of the cuts got me pretty good and left a big scar because work was keeping it from healing properly.

why does my boy yowl a little bit after he's eaten? it ends pretty quickly and I always give him some pets just to make sure he's okay. he's perfectly happy and healthy, I'm just confused at his little ritual.

Well, fuck. Found adult roundworms in the kitten shit. One of the kittens (I have two) has a potbelly, the other has a scabbed nose. Both of the cats are active and energetic. I am so fucking terrified that I have contracted worms from these little fucks. Love them dearly. Have nuzzled faces with them, pet them frequently, I push the one guy off my pillow when he sits on it. What the fuck do I do now? I have been scratched and stepped on by these little idiots so many times it's impossible to count. Obvious answer is the vet. But what about my personal safety, and that of my dad who's in the same house? I'm staying with him briefly, and the litter box is adjacent to the kitchen which we pass through daily. I'm terrified I've stepped on an egg or otherwise ingested one.

>>4879481>male cat (12 y/o)>female cat (7 y/o)the male cat has started spending more time in the neighbour’s house the last couple years and only comes in here once or twice a day (sometimes never). what does it mean if when he sees the female cat, he’ll walk up to her but then awkwardly stand a few metres away rubbing on stuff and then walk away?I think the female cat is afraid of him because when she sees him she’ll get in a corner or under something so she can hide, and she’ll let out a gentle hiss or nervous meow (not an agressive meow or growl).I’m pretty sure the female cat is the only other cat he ever sees, and they’re obviously familiar with eachother. I think he wants to be friends with her or play with her, but she gives off threatening energy when he’s around
>>4884779also I forgot to mention that the male cat is obviously a lot older and they didn’t grow up together.the female cat went missing for 12 months a few years back and was very guarded and defensive for a while after she came back
>>4884688He looks kinda doglike with that one downward facing ear, it's cute
>>4884687Nearly all kittens have rounds or hooks. Hooks are invisible to the naked eye and can infect you via extended skin contact. fwiw, I have lived with cats my entire life even as an unsanitary child and never contracted hooks. Never tested for rounds but I imagine i'd see some evidence by now. If you're worried, you can talk to your doc. While contracting worms is a non 0 possibility, I think it must be rather low for adults who live somewhat hygienically. >>4884779>rubbing on stuffterritory marking>>4884627Did he learn that yowling after eating gets him attention?>>4884428I fucking love this cat's ears.

Is there any hope this little shit will chill the fuck out with age? She will be 2 months old this week. I'm sure most of this is normal but this cat is just at 1000% 24/7. I play with her as much as I can to tire her out but shes still hyperactive. My other cat is pretty taciturn and rarely plays with any toys, and definitely won't play with the kitten.The kitten pounces anything that moves, and even things that don't. She already seems to be getting bored of the toys I've given her, but she also is an ADHD fuck and plays with several different toys at any given time.Will getting her spayed when shes a little older have any effect? I remember long ago having a real ornery son of a bitch male cat that mellowed out when his balls got removed.
>>4885701She'll probably mellow out at around a year old
>>4884902that's because of the hematoma he had, at least the vet managed to stop it before it complete ruined his ear
Is feeding your cat on 12 hour increments ok? Say one half of the can at 7:30 and the other half at 7:30 pm, or is that too long a time space?
Question guys. I have a 4-year-old perfectly healthy cat. Today he won’t jump up, he sort just pulls himself up surfaces if they’re low enough, but he can jump down normally and walks without a limp or anything. He’s also eating and acting normally. Should I take him to a vet, or just watch him for a couple of days? I even tried touching around his back legs and he didn’t have a reaction.
>>4880188>jews in the governmentit's not even a theory anymore at this point
>>4885552Post about it on Facebook, Nextdoor, etc, explain that the cat will have to be moved if the owners don't keep it in at night, say because you let your dogs out and they almost killed it a few times. Outdoor cat owners aren't going to give a fuck about their cat bothering you, but it may put a fire under their ass if they know their cat's life is in danger. It may still not cause any change though. I would try bringing the cat to a shelter instead, because you're asking a domestic animal to survive in the wild in a new environment away from the humans that took care of it. It's basically a long drawn out death sentence.>>4885701>Is there any hope this little shit will chill the fuck out with ageYeah but it will take a couple of years lol. >Will getting her spayed when shes a little older have any effect?Very little research is done on spaying felines. I do know that their heat cycle is long as fuck, you're looking at around a month long heat. They have a chance with every heat that an ovary will crystalize which increases with age.>>4885835For older kittens and cats that should be fine. If it was like a 2m old I would be a bit worried but most people do the 12h feedings. If you're noticing clear vomit, it might be from stomach upset from empty stomach and then increasing increments may be needed.>>4885946Cats rely on different muscles to do different actions. One of the first signs of osteoarthritis in dogs for example is trouble walking UP stairs, but not down stairs or even walking in general. I would make an appointment to express these concerns. If it is some muscle atrophy, you'll want to find out why. If it's joint/bone, I imagine you'll want to slow the process down as much as possible and to do that requires early detection.
>>4886007>For older kittens and cats that should be fineShe's 11. I still have dry food out for her all the time but I think her teeth are too sensitive because once I started giving her canned tuna she doesn't even look at the kibble
my cat licked one of my sun chips
>>4879481
>>4886026Well did you let him or her eat it?
>>4886152yeah she liked it
I love my cats bros
What's the worst thing your cats have ever swallowed and did they just poop it without consequence?I think my cat just swallowed a part of this silicone mouse (the nose) and I just hope she poops it alright.She's still playing and running like she always does but I can't seem to find that part of the silicone mouse.
>>4886258Apparently it's not toxic but I'm still a bit worried. I know cats eat all kinds of shit all the time but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be a little scared
my cat has a quiet / shy personality. what does it mean if he doesn’t like being petted during the day, but during the evening he loves being petted?
>>4879481I don't know if this is an issue with my cat or my fridge, but it appears my cat has figured out how to open my fridge door and get inside. I've ordered some childproof locks to hopefully prevent this from happening again, but jeez.I guess it's appropriate that I named him Beerus after the Dragonball God of Destruction.

Is there a reason Ragdolls have suddenly boomed in popularity?
>>4886548Ideal cat. Their huntingand fighting instincts are useless and needed to be nerfed. One day feral mutts will go extinct and only based purebred kots will remain.
I'm taking my cat to the vet after work, she's still losing weight despite the wet food and now her breathing is labored. And she still has the excessive drinking/urine issue Iade a post about a while ago. She doesn't even purr when I pet her anymore. I'm expecting the worst
>>4886548they are very soft and cuddlyand tolerate almost everythingalso a status symbol
>>4886548My friend has a ragdoll. When we visited we literally passed her around us like a joint for cuddles and not only did she not give a shit, she purred the whole time. Ideal kot.
>>4886556Good luck, cat friend. Hope for the best, but if the worst must happen, be happy for the love and happiness you guys shared. Easier said than done, I know, but it's all you can do.
What's the best cat breed and why?
>>4886548Ideal cat. Total removal of vestigial and non-contributing wild instincts. Total dependence on mankind.
>>4886620Ragdoll. The ideal cat.I've only seen people complain about how they're too friendly, want to interact with people instead of sitting alone being aggressive, and can't survive being neglected outdoors. Big fucking deal, all cats should be treated like ragdolls demand to be treated.
>>4886509Orange>>4886548Most ragdolls I see are moggies with a color point. Even a lot of breeders are just breeding moggies so you have to do some homework. But I imagine it's because tiktokers and streamers tout them as the perfect cat.>>4886020Just make sure she's eating enough in wet food then. If her teeth are sensitive, have you thought about a dental? At 11 it might be one of the last times she'll be able to get one done.>>4886258Not mine but a foster ate string, cats are known for that and it makes their intestines squish like an accordion, very deadly. Had one that was adopted and then ate a ton of foam and had to have a surgery to get it removed. Watch for signs like not eating/pooping, being lethargic, seemingly in pain etc but that looks so small I think you'll be OK.>>4886556I hope everything goes well.
>>4886644>Have you thought about a dental?She had her teeth done 2 years ago, after I took her there because one of her top fangs fell out. I'll ask the vet to check her teeth
>>4886644>OrangeI don't think so, it's very yellowand besides, that fluffy hair is very specific and identical to my cat, it can't be a coincidence
>>4886644>but that looks so small I think you'll be OK.She's still behaving like she always does, pooping normally and eating normally.I'm not even sure if she actually ate the toy's nose but I'm not going to play with her feces to find out.At least I know it's not toxic but that's it.
>>4886492Yes, it's a four-star dragonball keychain I found online. I thought it was appropriate.

>>4886707Put that fish back in water asshole.
>>4886707Anyone else have a cat that will actually try to sleep in their lap? It's one thing for a cat to sit in your lap and get attention or maybe just relax there, but this is the first cat I've known that will actually just curl up and sleep there.
I lost my baby yesterday, congestive heart failure. She declined over 2 weeks to the point she was struggling to breathe and I couldn't go on anymore watching her suffer. RIP Socks, survived by her sister Shoes. She was 17 years old and the sweetest cat I've ever had, not a mean bone in her body. She was super talkative too, always had something to say and you could have conversations with her. Her sister is completely different personality wise. It really is true what they say though, no 2 cats I've owned have ever had the same personality, they're all so different and special, makes it that much harder when you lose one...
>>4886582She died on the way home from a heart attack. I think her body couldn't take the stress of the visit and blood tests/fluids.I didn't expect her to die like that, its soul crushing. I miss her so much already
>>4886810RIP little buddy and sorry for your loss. One thing I've learned lately after losing 2 cats to heart failure is to recognize the signs better, the moment they stop eating normally and if you see their lungs moving far more than usual they need to get an x-ray. But from what vets have told me, there's really not many solutions to heart failure in cats, and the therapy that they can do such as lasix, removing fluids, etc. is only temporary, expensive and requires hospitalization for days. I had one of my cats die just last month of heart failure too, the thing is I had noticed her breathing was different for a few weeks, but I did nothing because I didn't realize this was a sign of serious danger until she collapsed on the floor and started writhing around. I rushed her to an emergency vet and had to euthanize her.
>>4886802my cat sleeps on my lap pretty often, sometimes curls up, sometimes sprawls out or just lays in a line down my legs
Polydactyly needs to be bred out of existence
>>4886804So pretty
I think it's funny how human babies evolved to sound like cats just so they'd get some attention.
>>4886896whyi think it's cool
>>4887106It's genetic freakeryImagine if aliens used us as pets and bred us to have 7 fingers
>>4887109
>>4887110Our goal should be to preserve the natural state of a species we turn into a pet. It's too late for dogs, but at least cats are still pretty close to their African wildcat origins.
>>4887112>It's too late for dogsIt's not, because dogs were never actually modern arctic wolves. They were pleistoscene scavenger wolves that looked more like a poofier dingo. The mostly original cat-tier genetic stock is still mucking around in australia.And like cats, they make for unpredictable, destructive, aggressive, and generally awful pets.
>>4887122DINGO STOLE MY BABY
>>4887125Dingos are literally what cats would act like if they were that size.You know, the pet that will try to eat living tissue off your hand if you pass out.
>>4887109they occurred naturally and it doesnt seem to impair themyou could much apply this sentiment to breeders responsible for pugs and scottish folds which are genuinely made to suffer for the sake of looks
>>4887128I do apply that logic to dog breeders. It's absolutely fucked up. Toadline bullies are the next step.
>>4887126>You know, the pet that will try to eat living tissue off your hand if you pass out.confirmed never owned a cat
>>4887154No, you haven't. They will even try and kill and eat you when you are awake.Most of us cat owners still have the scars.
Some cunt dropped a kitten outside. It's bone thin, like three weeks old and I have no money for kitty milk. Nearby vets and shelters want nothing to do with it because I live in the third world.What do I feed it?
>>4887171Do you truly want to know what the closest available substance to kitten milk is

>>4887205Yes. You probably went "ow!" and that taught the kitten.
>>4887211damn that is really cool.
why do cats like sinks
>>4887180It's dead. Thanks anon. You were so busy being a witty faggot, you let a kitten starve to death. Hope your faggot cat dies.
>>4887317if you're real low on money I don't think you'd have been able to feed the starving almost dead kitten multiple times a day in the first place. side note I have to wonder what kind of 'third world country' you live in that has multiple nearby vets and shelters

>>4887290Maybe they find it cool on their bodies.
>>4887569Yeah I didn't expect her to die like that. Really the vet should've offered to keep her overnight but he seemed eager to get us out the door. She was on oxygen for like 5 minutes but he charged us for an hours worth, between that and the lab work he wanted $1k. As soon as she was taken off oxygen and put back into the carrier she relapsed
>>4886651>one of her top fangs fell out.Her actual long canine, or the tiny incisors? The tiny incisors are often the first to go - very short roots.>>4887490You gotta cook it till it's pink I think.>>4887171I'm assuming it's dead but there are recipes for kitten milk. But ironically the recipes probably cost more than milk replacer. They usually require Pedialyte and Eggs, or Corn Syrup and Yogurt and Goat's Milk, etc. At bone thin, it was probably already dying.
>>4887761Hmm, it sounds like your vet needs to be murdered painfully.
