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 pls
building manager said no to cages so im pretty sure i won't be able to put up netting over the railings as well

i 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

Too 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?

>>5100401
Update 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.

>>5100401
if she isn't acting skittish and hiding you're probably good to go
the cables are probably copper and rubber? copper is safe and the rubber probably didn't get digested(got pooped)

>>5100462
She'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.

Revenge

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.

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.

>>5104012
Yes if they clearly don't mind
No 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 problem
I 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.

Thanks, 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.

Never owned a pet before but I gave into my partner wanting a cat. Brought her home on Monday and she's scared of everything but us. She barely eats and doesn't want treats, only pets and snuggles. We got her in a separate room but it seems that when we leave she just hides.

Should we be spending time with her if all she wants to do is get pet and sleep? I don't seem to see her want to explore the room that much, and she constantly gets spooked by sounds and toys. What do?

>it's another episode of my cat being so terrible at killing a mouse the only way he gets a kill is giving it a heart attack from chasing it around the room for hours

>>5108207
That's normal behavior. Cats are extremely autistic and don't usually handle being rehomed very well, the fact that she's actually coming out to see you for attention is actually pretty good by most standards. Just let her hide and don't worry about her refusing to eat/poop, in a few more days she'll become comfortable enough to roam around and in a few weeks she'll start acting like she owns the place.

>>5108219
Thanks, I guess I'm just overly worried. Should we still be hanging out with her or just leave her alone?

friend is offering a kitten to me but i have an adult cat already that's FIV+, but they told me this kitten is not going to be given to a shelter if nobody gives it a home, and it's going to be forced to be an outside cat. it's weighing on me heavily because risking the kitten to get FIV if it doesn't have it from birth already means I willingly gave it a disease, but the other option is to let those people abandon it and it get injured or sick or FIV anyways if it doesn't go to a home.

and like i said there's a chance that the mom cat had FIV already so maybe the kitty already has it, but they're not going to be able to test the mom and the kitten cant be tested until it's 6 months old or something like that.

any suggestions?

Cat is keeping his mouth open slightly with his tongue out when sleeping suddenly, and drooling all over his front. Even awake he seems to have his mouth open a little bit all the time.

Dental issue? He won't let me look and he hates having his mouth touched.

>>5109117
If he does it for a few days I would assume he's having some kind of tooth pain that's making him not want to shut his mouth

>its another cat leaps from the bed head onto my feet at 3am episode

>>5109117
Go to the vet asap fren.

after learning about non-recognition aggression my estimation of the intelligence of my feline friends has reached a new low

>>5109313
I have siblings that hate each other now because of this, they used to be snugly pair and now they just hiss and avoid each other. They don't fight but they don't like each other any more either.

Is 16 a normal age for a cat to have somewhat reduced muscle mass in it's hind legs? The weird thing is her behavior hasn't changed at all and she still jumps on and of furniture dozens of times a day without hesitation.

Just gotten a 12 week old Sphynx kitten about a week ago, best cat I have ever come across in terms of temperment and personality. Now though I am starting to think about his diet and what to feed him and I am unsure what to go with. The breeder I got him from was a very sterotypical fancy cat breeder with an incredibly thick Polish accent who insisted on that he be fed raw minced beef exclusively. However, since I have gotten him he won't always eat the mince all at once which leads to the mince oxidising brown as the day goes on which then makes him not want to touch it. I switched to dried as a result and he has eaten it well enough, but he has eaten less and less to the point of me putting mince out this morning which led to him devouring it whole.

So he can eat either but he prefers raw meat over dried, but online I keep seeing contradicting info on whether a meat diet is good or not. I personally just want to give him the best food possible so he can stay healthy and price isn't too much of an concern but I am based in the UK so brands are different than the US. I am considering Purina One dried and then mixing it with a rotating selection of cooked meat minced up so he gets a variety of tastes (chicken, beef, pork etc).

>>5109313
Does this apply to people too as well as other cats?

>>5109117

just got back from the vet, either massive dental disease or a tumor. A good chunk of his jawbone was missing. They'll do a surgery later after the infection is under control.

I don't like the sound of this, he's 12 1/2 though. I feel so bad for the little guy, I can see he's in a lot of pain. I don't know why I didn't notice it before now.

Every single morning, without fail, this dude comes up to me and sucks and nibbles on my ear
It's deafening, and he kneads me while he does it. He'll do it for basically as long as I let him. He's only about 6 months old so not sure if he'll keep doing it or not

It's very cute but honestly kind of annoying, but I never have it in my heart to stop it, love him

Stay strong frens
It's been a month for me as of tomorrow, my boy was 17
Home feels entirely different now, our routines and rituals gone
I miss giving belly rubs and chin scratches
I just miss him in general

I think my cat missed the litterbox today. I caught him standing right next to his litterbox pawing at the box of fresh kitty litter next to it and when I went to check on him I realized the litter mat was wet under him. I think he was still trying to bury it and got confused lol.

I don't know how the hell he managed that, it's not like the litterbox is too small for him. At least it was entirely on the mat and didn't get on the floor underneath.

I really miss my cats.

Try ghee instead of sugar if it's available where you're based. Nothing more fattening than that, it's almost on par with lard

Kek what

my prickly but sweet 13-14 year old tortie just left for the other side. Lung Cancer or tumor around the heart, didn't know she had it. I woke up to her making a horrible pained meow and struggling to breathe. Took her to emergency vet and they told me. I had her put to sleep. I can't believe she's gone just like that.

My british shorthair has never liked being picked up or cuddling. He’s super affectionate when he wants to be and loves being pet, but for some reason he has always fought being picked up and doesn’t like being in laps. Is it just because they’re a big breed? Or is my cat just not into that shit?

>>5110065
You have her a good and full life anon. She was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have her.

Texas anon here. So it looks like we might be moving up north to MI. Was looking at rentals and most places just don't want pets, period. Meanwhile every other place down here allows it. Do northerners just leave pets out to freeze to death?

MI = democrat state = co-opted by cultural marxists (semite culture) and muslims (semite culture)
Both hate pets almost as much as donald trump (semite president)
Enjoying caring for animals is distinctly central asian/european. All other cultures see animals as disposable tools.

>>5110301
indians too. only rental we found that allowed pets was a tiny duplex. "oh, but pets tear stuff up" is the only excuse we get for landlords not allowing it.

Any tips to help my cat? He's an unholy terror that needs 5 pills+liquid a day to not die and every single one is like pulling teeth. He won't tolerate a purrito because we did that to him as a baby for medicine and if he sees me with a towel he will run off and hide under the bed 100% of the time. I am by my self doing it most of the time as well. And he's too smart for hiding it in food to work either, he always eats around the pill.

My cat would come up to me purring and try to rub his face on my face. I'd pet and scratch him but would avoid the face rubs because it was annoying.
And then one day while trying to play a computer game, he jumps in my lap starts rubbing his face on my face and I couldn't stop him because I was at a critical point in the game. Afterwards, I began aggressively face rub him with my face as a "how do you like it" kind of thing. And he started purring louder than I've ever heard him.
So now when I give him my undivided attention petting sessions, I include face rubs.

Crush the pill real fine and then mix it in some food. You'll have to figure out the proportions so that he doesn't detect the medicine and refuse to eat it. And he'll have to eat it all to get the proper medicine dosage.

Feline anons have any of you had any experience using this product in picrel from my understanding the 0.075% pyrethin is a highly dangerous pesticide and neurotoxin to cats (the dog version of the same soap has 0.15%). My white kitty (I mention its white because of the higher chance of skin issues) has a small flea problem because of an outdoor stray that passed some to him. I can't afford a vet consultation or any high end flea medication they would offer and I would like to get to work on dealing with these fleas ASAP because they are fucking me up as well. I'm just incredibly worried that I'm going to poison my cat. Are all of the stories about how "it killed my cat/made my cat disabled" just user error of people putting tons of the soap into their cats fur, not rinsing it out properly, and/or letting them lick themselves during the bath? If I follow the bottle directions properly and don't allow my cat to groom himself during the bath is it really as harmful as everyone says? Of course not medical advice or anything, I'd just like some input on these flea soaps.

pyrethrins, with an r at the end, not pyrethins my bad anons

>>5110963
I use Advantage II since it's simpler and easier than a bath. You just have to apply it at the base of his neck close to his skin so he can't lick it. Its active ingredients are imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen, so the only real concern is using it on pregnant or nursing cats.

Somehow my indoor only cat got fleas and I used only 2 (monthly) doses and that got rid of them. Your flea infestation sounds pretty heavy though, so you'll probably need 4 or more doses.

>>5110969
I'll head to the store later today and see if I can find some, thank you anon
My legs are getting destroyed by these fleas, I hope your recommendation and some flea killing room foggers work.

>>5108975

>>5110963
In addition to >>5110969's suggestion, I'd offer-
Wash everything. If there are spots where the cat spends a lot of time, and they're washable, give them a run in the laundry.
Vacuum/clean everything. Vaccing in addition to the foggers is very effective at breaking an infestation.

>get 12 week old sphynx kitten
>clingiest thing in the world that wants to play constantly if he isn't demanding head rubs
>screams if I am not in the same room as him
>decide to get another sphynx kitten that is 8 weeks old to keep him company and because of how amazingly loving they are I just want more
>the 8 week old is exactly like the 12 week old, but now at the age of 14 weeks the eldest doesn't meow or like being pet anymore
Have I fucked up? He doesn't hiss or run away when he see's me but he now only tolerates me petting him by rubbing his cheek when he's lying on his bed briefly. He play fights with the other kitten constantly, is this because I have gotten an extra kitten or is this just what happens when kittens reach the 14 week mark? I know I shouldn't be worried but it is almost like an overnight transformation in personality and I keep thinking about whether it is something I have done to cause it

Just to clarify further, I practically had to scalp him when he wanted to be pet before I got the other kitten and he would be demanding me doing it for like an hour before falling asleep. He used to suckle a lot too and screaming was he default for everything. Now though he will duck if I try to fuss his head and doesn't really sleep on my lap at all, often lying on his blankets instead where I can a gentle cheek rub in before he starts to nibble or turn his head away

I'm losing my second cat in a row, lost one thursday to lung or heart cancer and now I'm going to lose another one to oral cancer soon. this is one top of another cat with abdominal cancer that's still hanging in there. Do I just have very bad luck or something causing this?

If there are any fellow bongs in, vets will be trying to drum up business before the animal prescription price changes. I got called today asking if I was interested in getting a special priced dental check up with a further discount for being a member. It's not really malicious or anything just don't get anything you don't need. I was in for an annual check up for my pair less than a month ago and their teeth were fine.

I've been noticing small cat turds in random places in my home lately. I can tell they aren't intentionally trying to go outside the litter box. It seems more like they're using the litter box, but a small piece gets stuck to them, and then gets dislodged as they walk around. What can I do about this?
I have two cats: a skinny male and a chubby female. Not sure if it's just one, or both of them doing it.

I love my boy, even if I have to accept I got fucking fleeced by answering a fucking newspaper ad advertising Maine coon kittens.
I wouldn't change anything though. He's been very healthy, very happy (for the most part) and actually wants to spend time with me. I just wish I could find toys he actually likes, other than the wheel and sleeping in his cat tower he doesn't really engage with much I try and get him.
I've also been fighting hair knots with him. It's been pretty bad, I don't know if he's not grooming himself or what but it seems like they just started cropping up in the past two months

my kot passed away today. I never understood how truly gut wrenching this would feel.

At least know they are out of pain and if you believe so, waiting for you in whatever life comes after this one.

My cat is about to turn 20 years old and has been absolutely unbearable for the past 4. Yowling 10 times per day for a minute straight, often in the middle of the night.
Doesn't even go outside to piss or shit anymore, which wouldn't be too much of a problem if she wasn't MISSING the fucking box 90% of the time. I had to put adult diaper craps around it to soak in the piss to avoid completely destroying the woodfloor.
I'm so mad and angry and I'm genuinely forgetting all the good time I had with this pet.

>>5111565
>I wouldn't change anything though. He's been very healthy, very happy (for the most part) and actually wants to spend time with me.
that's the most important thing really. i'd rather be fleeced and end up having a good cat, than get a proper maine coon that ends up being an asshole. I have two maine coons but they also happen to be good cats which I'm glad of. funny story, their breeder ended up getting scammed as well and it's what caused her to become a breeder who is now pretty reputable. she still has that cat who is now old and who's still her favorite cat

I could never imagine going to a breeder, all my kots have been strays that just showed up at my door. CDS is very real.

If you really wanted a specific coat or breed it makes sense, but yeah if all you want is a mutt you really don't have to spend money.

this pretty much.

My cats are similar with how they don't seem interested with any of the toys I get them. My wife's friend gave us a toy her cats like though and ours love it too. It's just some little Christmas tree stuffed with catnip, nothing really different from dozens of other toys, but for some reason these guys absolutely love it.

How do I spoil my cat in his final days? He's only 12 but has oral cancer and is getting the trip to the other side on Tuesday. He's on pretty heavy pain meds but can still get around. He drools all over his front though. I've tried to give him human food in the form of some chicken breast I got from the deli but he didn't touch it. Catnip maybe?
