God fucking dammit. I wanted to make a question, but there are no cat general. Fine, i'll create one edition

My cat will turn 5 years old this month. She never purred. The only time i listened to her purring, was when she fell from my building and disappeared for 3 days. When we found her, and brought her, she purred very loud for some days. She was 1 yar old then
But lately, in the past months, she purrs a lot when i pet her, give her food, or hold her like a baby. Why is this?

Cats have personalities and internal thoughts. They can ponder and learn and grow like we do, and they can decide the change their mind about things. If she never purred its cause she never trusted you. If she does now it means she's warmed up to you. When she was gone for 3 days she probably developed a new appreciation for you.

I have a long hair cat. My gf usually brushes the mats of his belly with a metal brush and it's rough going. When she's not around I "brush" him with the back side of the tv remote. It's so smooth so it feels good and he thinks I'm the better brusher. Anyone have more cat hacks to share?

"differently balanced" that's a fucking new one lmao
given that this is a tiktok-type video it's obviously not showing the many times it most likely stumbles and falls, which will naturally lower its quality of life
it also looks like a fucking zombie and i have no idea how you can look at this day in and day out and not get sad

My friend and his gf are the types to take in foster cats and bring them to vet every other week because they like pissing money. Anyway, they adopted a wobbly cat that no one wanted and while he is adorable with a cute personality it is really sad to see. Sure you get some good laughs when he falls in the water bowl or tumbles down the stairs, but he's less than a year old and this is all he has to look forward too. Sometimes he falls while taking a shit and gets covered in it. By the time he's old he will be a miserable pile of arthritis and bruised bones. I genuinely believe killing him is the humane thing to do.

>ah yes i know what i will do to show everyone i am a good person
>i will make my severely uncoordinated cat run in the kitchen
greetings from kazakhstan

breeding and keeping severely disabled animals is animal cruelty
>>
>>5121750
not putting these cats down is supremely cruel
give yourself vertigo and imagine that never going away

and social media freaks are seeking them out. is someone breeding them? are white women this desperate to pretend to be compassionate?

Some questions
Do male and female cats/kittens act differently? Like is one more aggressive/calm etc. They'd be neutered if that matters
I've only been around elderly cats and either were chill but I think that was just nature by being older. but I'm not sure about how younger cats/kittens would act

And at what age are kittens fine with being around steep stairs? I'm worried about them going through the railing similar to image related and falling down. The older cats were smart enough not to, but we still put up a barricade to stop them looking out in case. Wondering if you'd need that with kittens (even thought they could jump over that compare to elder cats)

We also used to have food/water/litter downstairs and upstairs so they didn't need to walk down/up every time if they didn't want to. I assume kittens would be ok with that in one location?

Just trying to learn what having a kitten is like compare to the older cats that I'm used to. I don't know what habits/environment I'd need to change for them

Females are generally more independent and less close than males, males need their daily rubbing and will come get it and then sleep on your head
Depends on the cats ofc but it tends to be true for mine
