>>5099980Russian White got you beat
>>5099989this cat is judging me and i don't like it
I lost my 15 year's old cat a few months ago, the house was way too empty, so I ended up getting this little devil. I've raised half a dozen cats, but they were all dames, this is the first boy I've got, and he's absolutely insane. I play more with him in a week than I've played with my old calico throughout her life, and it wasn't for lack of trying. Named him Charlie (no, not for Kirk)
gib apartment balcony catio ideas plsbuilding manager said no to cages so im pretty sure i won't be able to put up netting over the railings as welli was thinking of some out of the box idea like having an outdoor table and benches or something where i can attach netting to the legs and have the cats wander underneath. i don't have any furniture on the balcony so could be win/win

the most powerful thing is when I get close to my cat and she head bunts my forehead with great forcemakes me feel so close to her and nature generally, it's hard to describe>>5100054he's a cutie
Help I think my cat is becoming vegetarian
Cats dont know about the silly images we create of them.
>>5100351>he doesn't know
>>5099866Too silly, possibly.
My 6 month old kitten ate some cables. Threw up some and pooped out some. Next day wouldn't eat the whole portion of her food and started acting lethargic so I took her to the vet the same day. They did some xrays and the impresions were:>Radiographs do not show evidence of retained wire fragments or complications associated with linear foreign body ingestion at this time. Findings suggest successful passage and/or removal of ingested material.They gave her an IV and Cerenia and sent her home saying to bring her back in two days. I got her some wet food they recommended and she ate about 2~3 spoons of it but didn't want to eat any more. She peed yesterday but no poop, neither today so far although she did drink a bit from her fountain. Gave her food but again barely eating. Has anyone gone through something like this?? When should I be concerned and take her to the ER?
>>5100401Update I got a syringe and gave her some water to drink and some wet food mixed with some tuna water to eat. She drank about 1/2 tsp and ate about 1 tsp of food. Some minutes after she pooped solid and peed, then an hour later she pooped soft stool. She's a bit more energetic now and she's been more vocal (she's a very talkative cat). She's still kicking her mouth a bit from now and then which I've read could be a sign of nausea. She has her meds in about 2 hours. Still feels like an improvement.
>>5100401if she isn't acting skittish and hiding you're probably good to gothe cables are probably copper and rubber? copper is safe and the rubber probably didn't get digested(got pooped)
>>5100462She's been mostly sitting on the bed on top of blankets. She pooped again very little and gooey. Now she's just very nauseous. I tried moving her from on top of the treadmill and she gagged, she keeps licking her mouth. I'm thinking of giving her the Cerenia an hour early to control the nausea and avoid her vomiting the little food she's been able to keep down today.

>>5100354No such thing as a cat too silly

I want to make my office smell nice, but I don't want to use candles since my PC is in there. What are some cat-friendly ways to keep a room smelling good? I've heard to avoid oil diffusers.
>>5101250Probably a flower, or you can just throw catnip all over.
What does he want ?
>>5101261I feel like unless you have a whole ass garden in your office it's not going to smell like anything unless you put your nose up to it.
>>5101272He doesn't know what he wants. But he's pretty sure you have it
>>5101272Revenge
I have a cat. She's about 4 years old. She was always good with other cats (due to my living situation, she had been through multiple introductions, all went well, the cats were great together, even with kittens.) 2 months ago, housemate got a 3-4 month old kitten. I did introduction same as always, and it all went great on paper. My cat was fine with the kitten... Until kitten started pouncing on her. It's very obvious a play pounce, and naturally, older cats don't necessarily like this. But normally, in my experience, kitten take the hint after being hissed/swatted/growled at. The kitten was around siblings and mom so it's not like she doesn't know cat language - but for some reason, she really doesn't get that the older cat is not interested in engaging.The older cat is fine with the kitten. Doesn't love her, but she can tolerate her playing, hanging out or sleeping nearby without issue. She only had a problem with being pounced at - but the kitten consistently keeps doing it. The kitten is not aggressive, this is very obviously play, but I fear it's going to cause the cats to become antagonistic in the future. Still, it's like the kitten cannot comprehend it when my cat says "I don't like this", and keeps at pouncing at her until she runs off to a high place. I keep having to separate them to give my cat a breather, which has never been a thing before. I try to play and tire the kitten out, but she completely ignores toys if the other cat is around, clearly preferring a wrestle playmate. What can I do to fix this behavior? I've never dealt with a cat who couldn't understand a single "fuck off" from another cat.
>>5101300Well then do that. Nothing is stopping you from realizing your dreams bro.
Sometimes my cat follows me into my room when I'm trying to exercise and he always stares at me like a maniac while I'm doing it
>>5101379just tell him that not everyone has a natural 4 foot vertical jump
>>5101379this cat is larping as Al Jolson in the jazz singer
>>5101352I don't have the time nor the inclination to dedicate to cultivating a garden in my office :( Are those Yankee Candle scent bead things OK for cats?
>>5101379Same, but for showers
>>5101379: â—‹
I wish I wasn't allergic to cats so fucking bad
>took my cat to the vet for his yearly check up>vet said she may have heard a heart murmur in one spot>recommends I get blood work done to check>extra $500>everything comes back fine except for the heart test>enzymes slightly elevated>recommends a chest x-ray or ultrasound to confirm >another $150 for either or $300 for bothI just want my little dude to be okay but it feels like I'm being taken for a ride. He just turned eight so I'm getting worried about his health. Gonna have to wait until next month because it's so expensive.
i started feeding my 13 year old very chill cat raw meat because she was thin and seemed to like it, and now she's the most fucking annoying cat in existence. won't stop begging for food a single goddamn second. every day every single time i walk by the kitchen. i'm considering killing her
>>5099846handsome
>>5100046holy fuck that's cute. he's got a little eye-cover so he can sleep good.
are you cat faggots playing that new cat vidya game?
this is my life now
Putting my cat down tomorrow morning. It sucks. He’s not even 12 yet but the last two years he’s been diabetic and nothing has been helping and there’s nothing the vet can do for him anymore. His back legs have nearly entirely given out on him and he can hardly walk anymore. I’ve had him since he was a few months old, and when he was young he was an expert food thief and loved stealing pizza the most. I got a pizza tonight and have been letting him eat a ton of it cuz it’s his final dinner. I hate this. It really sucks but it’s for the best for him.
>>5102939I'm sorry for your loss anon :(
>>5102939It already sounds like you gave him the last meal he deserves, I'm sure you gave him a good life too.
Cat's feeling sick. Probably nothing serious, but there's no worse feeling than that dread in your gut while you impatiently await the vet appointment.
>>5103127wants the pepperoni
What do u think of cats in pants? LOL
>>5103323
>>5103323Moar
>>5103327
>kot see me sitting at the computer and thinks sleeping in my lap is a way better idea than eating>have to stand around phoneposting if I want him to eatstop getting on auschwitz mode
My cat turns 15 today. She's so old.
>>5103350
>>5103323I had a cat growing up that loved doing this when she was a kitten but she grew up really big and stopped being able to do it.
>>5103437I'd be worried about them leaving their scent or having an accident in there.
>>5099846Sexy cat.
>>5103451Genuine question what about sphynx cats are attractive to you
>>5103323>>5103326>>5103327>>5103350>>5103374>you man my nuts were in there. get out of there
R8 the loaf plz
Sphynx cats are constantly cold, perpetually hungry and act like they're on catnip 24/7.
>>5103721But they are fun to pet. Like big scrotum
>>5103707good loaf
>>5103707bread>>5103724chicken leg
>cat always trying to sleep on my lap while I'm at my computer>cute but I don't want him sleeping on me all the time>build him a little bed on the side of my desk for him to sit on>he likes it>now he won't sleep on my lap he just wants to sit on his bed and stare at meI accidentally replaced myself with some scrap plywood I found in my shed
Kots wearing funny clothesy/n?
How did they teach the cat to do that?
>>5104012Yes if they clearly don't mindNo if it's obvious they're not enjoying it
I have a 3-year-old British Shorthair that's been with me for a month now (he needed a new home). I've kept him in my bedroom so far and he's gotten used to it, but how do I introduce him to the rest of the house? I'm worried if I just plop him down in another room he'll end up panicking and go back to hiding like when I first got him.

I want to neuter two semi-stray cats from my neighborhood that I take care of, any tips? Do I just let them chill in the basement for few days until they're fine
Interested in getting a cat maybe but there is one big problemI own like 30 tarantulas, and i've heard anecdotally that some cats get their hunting instinct activated when they see the spider in the enclosure and then next thing you know you have an injured cat, and a dead tarantula at best. At worst a dead cat and a missing tarantula.Is there a way to get them adjusted to seeing them, or like.. idk a way to train them not to have a massive hunting instinct. Idc if they go after little bugs or anything else in the house, I don't want to kill their drive, I just don't want the risk of them targeting my spiders specifically. And yes I could keep a special room for just the spiders but I don't have the space for them in an isolated room other than my bedroom.
>>5104076Creepy
>>5104076how does a tarantula kill a cat?
>middle aged cat has pea sized lump under a nipple>take to vet>it's probably a malignant tumor>few months left if not removed>gotta pay 3k to remove her entire mammary chain>might need to bring her back in a few weeks to remove the other side for another 3kHug your kot tight today anon
I bought a mouse-shaped laser pointer because I thought it was cute and now my cat seems more interested in trying to play with the laser pointer itself rather than the chasing the laser dot
>>5104141Damn that's a lot of simoleons
My cat has started attacking shadows a lot. Is he bored or retarded? He's not spending a lot of time outside at the moment because it's been too cold.
>>5103369We said goodbye to our boy yesterday, 17 years oldIt doesn't feel realPicture isn't greatBut it captures the intense energy this guy always had
I love my cats and they bring me joy
>>5104416Both my dog and cat figured the clicking sound=red dot.
I love my cat, but holy shit, he needs TO STAY OUT OF MY FACE. EVERY TWO FUCKING MINUTES WHILE I'M USING MY PHONE, HE WALKS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
>>5104834He's trying to save you, why are you ignoring him?
>>5104834Mine does that as well. It is obnoxious.
>>5104735No matter how many pets you've had, it always hits as hardRest in peace
Anyone else smack their cats butt like a drum?
>>5104975Yes.
Why are kots so funny bros?
>>5105837They are cute and cool but extremely stupid
>>5105840>WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK
Getting a kitten soon. Is feeding them a cooked meat diet ideal or is there something else I should be looking at? Also what can I do to maxmize placidness? Catnip is an obvious one but in my country we can't get stuff like melatonin over the counter without an insomnia prescription.
>>5105981>can't get stuff like melatonin over the counter without an insomnia prescription.Scratch that, cat specific melatonin is available via amazon
>>5104141Might just be a fat lump or hair ball in the intestines. My elderly cat had it once and it went away after a few days.
Do standard issue tabby cats have any stereotypical personalities like oranges?
>>5106154They're good hunters.
I'm gonna miss her so much ):
>>5103209I'M BACK BITCHES AND MY BABY BOY IS BACK HOME AFTER 10 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL.MOTHERFUCKER SURVIVED AN AKI-INDUCED STAGE 4 RENAL SHUTDOWN.BY ALL LOGIC, HE SHOULD BE DEAD.CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?
>>5106426HELL YEAH

What a silly creature
>>5106426HELL YEAH!!!
Do y'all brush your cats teeth?
>>5106536>>5106510>>5106431HELL YEAH>>5106456Thanks, anon, I won't be taking him for granted ever again. It's been one of the most insane weeks of my life. Your girl was beautiful, and the world's a little less bright without her.For reference in case anyone else finds themselves in my shoes: My cat is only 6 1/2 years old, and I suppose some underlying kidney issues started to show themselves. He came down with a case of pica, and unfortunately the type of litter he decided it would be a good time to start eating was his Breeze pellets, which are fucking massive clay chunks. Those things blocked up his stomach and fucked up his kidneys enough to send him into a stage 4 shutdown. By last Monday, my vet was telling me that I should be making euthanasia plans. Decided to hold off a little longer, and somehow by the next morning, his kidney functionality to return enough for anesthesia.Ended up doing biopsies on some liver cysts, which luckily ended up being benign byproducts of the kidney damage, and verifying the blockage had passed through to his colon, which is likely what restored partial functionality.From there, we needed to restore kidney functionality as much as possible. We put him on epogen to restore his blood's anemic levels (Supposed to be around 40.0, started at 22.0, began epogen at 18.6. Life-threatening is ~10.0), monitoring his white blood cells, which are still high and indicate an ongoing infection, and lowering his creatine levels (1.0-1.8 is normal, he went in to the vet at 12.0, last bloodwork had him at 3.8 and trending downward).After nine days of stool softeners, laxatives, and waiting, the vets finally just enema'd him twice to force the pellets to pass. By Sunday, his anemia levels were down to 14.5, which caused the vet to look for donors to do a blood transfusion, so we can buy a bit more time to see if the epogen starts working in a few weeks.Final cost: ~$7,500, and that's with the vet capping my bill.

i sang to my boy in a louis armstrong voice and he geeked out like i became a demon
I found a backup of one of my old phones and it has pictures of my old cat that died 10 years ago on it. I think it was lymphoma that got her at the respectable age of 16.
>>5106584Thats an expensive cat
>>5107400lost mine to CKD 3 months ago as of yesterday, same age yours passed at i feel empty without her, i try to think of it as entropy taking it's course but that doesn't help(Verification not required.)
>>5106025Pretty!
