“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
>>4884063How old is he? My mum's cat sort of grew out of chasing people's ankles at 1 AM.
