The neighborhood cat passed suddenly... Apparently he went to take a nap this morning and just never woke up. I saw him last night and he was rambunctious as always. I'm not sure what could have caused him to pass, but him passing so suddenly is so upsetting.

Rest in peace, bubs.

Cats tend to have weak hearts. Heart attacks aren't that uncommon with them.

>>5136427
I wonder if it was that, since my neighbor didn't think he was poisoned. He was so young too, definitely not older than 5. Poor darling...

My guy likes to knead around while holding his rat toy in his mouth and meowing. He does it whenever I leave his object impermanence

>>5136527
I had a cat once, I was moving across the country and didn't have any choice but to get him a harness and leash since I was going to take him on the plane with me.
I decided I would get him used to the thing before zero day.
He was fine with the harness (even though it made him look like a fat guy wearing a baby-t). The minute I attached the leash to the harness his consciousness left his body and he became 18lbs of inert cat matter that refused to move.
I figured if I dragged him a little he'd get the picture and go along for the ride. He did not, like channeling ghandi and his passive resistance the little furball let me drag him across the kitchen floor, outside onto the deck, across the deck, and into the grass.

I saw a couple at my pet store today walking their cat around with them on a leash. I think they were trying to do that "take the cat to busy places when they're young to socialize them" thing so it grows up friendly and used to people, but I think their cat was too old for it and it was just scared the entire time and not having any of it. I felt a little bad for the cat but it was kind of funny watching it try to hide around the store as they were walking around.

I got an eviction warning for feeding the (fixed) stray cats. The slumlords are claiming I'm damaging their property. Life sucks.

>>5136615
If I take my cat lut on a leash for too long she wants to live outside and gets incredibly sassy and violent when I inevitably have to pick her up and walk her back inside. Often times she gets violent. I can pick her up and do whatever when she is inside no worries, but once she gets a taste of freedom she goes insane. Haven't taken her out in a while because of it. :(

>>5136615
I'm thinking about buying a harness to take my cat for walks. But they're an adult and they're also a scardey cat. Would they adapt or would it be constant torture for them? My biggest fear is walking into someone walking their dog

>>5136712
Put the harness on them and see if they move around normally after an hour or so. Then you can add leash. See how they react to gentle tugging on the leash. Then you can bring them outside and see if they just freeze or actually wander about.

>>5136541
Nah don't think so. He'll even be right in front of the bathroom and see me enter it, keeping the door opened, and he'll still go get his rat (always the same toy too).

Unequivocally based and true OP

I'm going to have to fly with my old cat INA. few months. I'm scared she'll howl the entire way and I'm worried about sedation because she's 15. what do I do to make it easier for her?

>>5136762
Cat distribution system at work

>>5136805
I'd suggest taking her on a car ride to see how she handles long trips beforehand. I guess a plane ride would be pretty different but it'll still give you an idea of what she'll be like.

My old bastard howls nonstop for like 15 minutes when I get him in the car but eventually he gives up and just stays quiet for the rest of the trip.

>>5136762

>>5136805

>and I'm worried about sedation because she's 15
Don't worry about it, I had to fly with my cat and I asked my vet if there was a kitty-cat xanex I could give him, an the vet told me to just get some children's benedryl. Call them to double check the dosage if you don't feel comfortable doing the body weight conversion yourself. As long as there's no asprin in the pill its perfectly safe and it will just conk them out the same way it does to you or me.

Anyone else's cats insist on drinking water from the sink? He drinks out of his bowl occasionally, but he will NOT drink out of those little cat drinking fountains, we tried two different models. He absolutely loves drinking tap water straight from the faucet though. Even on our sinks that are less convenient to stand on like picrel lol, silly kitty.

>>5137310
>he will NOT drink out of those little cat drinking fountains
There are different kinds of cat fountains, and depending on the cat some prefer one style over another.
Water out of the tap is also just cooler and fresher.
Seriously though, a cat that figures out of faucets work is a nightmare, I had one cat who would do it and for 15 years I'd be woken up in the middle of the night to a dripping or squealing faucet.

>>5137297
Depends on the desk cat. Mine insists on sleeping directly on my keyboard, forcing me to turning it off and typing with the On-Screen Keyboard instead.

My kitty is coughing a lot and has been spending most of her time under a table the past coupe of days. She seems to be interested in getting pet on when ever I go check on her, but every once in a while she'll gone on a coughing fit. She was eat and drinking water earlier yesterday. Should I take her to the vet or just wait it out?

I think cats are stupid.

Sneezing or actually coughing? if cough it's worth a check at the vet.

a week ago, this crazy mofo showed up in my backyard. I waited a day to see if mama showed up but she never did. So i took him to the vet, got him his shots and flea medicine(he was pretty infested), and now I have a cat again. Haven't had one since 2015, but can honestly say this little dood has brought a smile to my face every day since. I thought he was going to take a while to warm up to me being a stray, but after only two days he is all over me, taking naps on my lap, headbuttin me, and just being super affectionate in general. So much so he sleeps with me now, where as the first two days he slept under the bed. I got him a little cat bed to put on my desk and he just hangs out with me all day as I do my work. I named him Gio.

Sorry for your loss. Put my cat down recently, and am not in a position to get a new pet right now. Makes me sad.

I have spent over 1500$ at the vet in two months trying to figure out my cat's runny diarrhea and weight loss. It briefly firmed up but went right back. I don't know how much more I can take financially. I hate having to make decisions based on money but at some point I'm going to have to just let it happen.

>Was going to take it to the pound, decided I'd take it in instead so they don't put it down if they can't find a home.
>Have cat for seven months, sleeping on the end of my bed, chasing butterflies in the bushes, etc.

I can't deny someone their cat, but I'm really struggling to give it back. The only thing that convinces me to do so is that I'm assuming she's just going to get tired of the cat at some point and give it back anyway.

>>5138398
What do they eat? If it's wet food, try adding a little bit of raw pumpkin puree (like half a teaspoon mixed with 5 oz can) - make sure it isnt pumpkin pie filling.

When is it the right time to put down a cat? Why should humans be the one to make the decision? The clearest sign that a cat is ready to pass on is when it decides that itself (either through instincts of it's own agency) by no longer eating or going off to die someplace secluded. Is it an evil act to put it down before then or one of love?

>>5138451
Can you go into more detail? Age, circumstances?

>>5138561
>When is it the right time to put down a cat?
When they no longer have any quality of life. There's a number of things you can consider like if they can go to the bathroom without soiling themselves, if they have any enjoyment in eating, are they in constant pain, etc.
>Why should humans be the one to make the decision?
Because they are a pet. They wouldnt exist without humans, and generally if a human is deciding to end the cat's life it is because they have agreed to care for the cat and have its well-being be their responsibility, or they are in a position of culling unwanted and harmful population.

I'm thinking about taking her to the vet next week (or sooner if she shows any signs of discomfort) but someone here might have some info on this.
Would dehydration cause a cat's usually high-pitched meows to turn kinda raspy or am I looking at something else like an infection or just the cat equivalent of puberty (she's 2)?
So far she's eating and drinking as usual but the heat wave did hit her particularly hard, her coat is quite a bit thicker than my other cats.

My cat's like this minus the weight loss. He's probably allergic to something in his diet and his gut biome is fucked because of it so just get him an equivalent to [pic related] and give him some probiotics. If you're lucky his shits will firm up quite a bit within a month or so.

Stop putting clean laundry where he can get it.
You might need an additional litter box.
And when you change the litter do you ever scrub out the litter box itself? Just get some bleach, a scrub brush, and some dish soap and clean the little box once a week. Sometimes the piss and shit smell sticks to the tub and the cat doesn't like it.
You could also try different kinds of litter.
Also wash your clothes with a little bit of vinegar and lemon juice, if the cat can still smell its previous bathroom adventures on the clothes or the basket (even slightly) its going to reinforce that it is an acceptable place to poop.
The unfortunate truth is sometimes with pets you have to toddler proof things, I just cope with the fact that I can never have any component with the thin wire because apparently that shit is cat spaghetti.

I finally had to make the end-of-life appointment for my 14-year old boy. He's been sick with kidney disease for a couple years now and finally stopped eating last night. I couldn't even get him to take any treats this morning.
My wife and I have had him since we were just dating. He's been there for two apartments, two houses, two dogs, and a cross-country move. I'll miss him and it will be weird not having him around, but letting him starve to death would be selfish ane cruel to just have a few more days with him.

I never paid pet rent when I was renting. The only people from the apartment management company that ever came into my apartment was maintenance when something broke, and I had a good rapport with them so they weren't going to snitch. A quiet and well-behaved cat can be easily concealed; I even knew a girl in college that managed to keep one in her dorm for a full year.

>One of the vets I spoke to today said I should consider euthanizing her
I lost my old cat back in September, 16 years old.
She'd had a medical issue about 4 years prior, stopped being able to walk with her back legs. Vet charged me 600$ to tell me to put her to sleep. It took about a week and she was back to her old self.
In the end she declined in about 2~3 days. Those were still the hardest days of my entire fucking life. Cats don't die with dignity, and they do not find comfort in your proximity in their last hours.
I don't know what to say when people bring up pet euthanasia. We already take so many decisions over our pet's lives, and ending it ... I'm afraid I'd take that decision to spare myself rather than the pet, I think. And it feels like a weakness. But still, having lived through it, Jesus Christ... She died in my fucking arms, I felt the life drain out of her.
Ffs I loved that beast. I'm sorry, that's all. I'm really sorry for you and Aki, I hope she does better. DeltaCortef® is 20$ for a hundred doses here in Leafland, although those are pills, I think they are more effective in injections.

>>5139405
Fingers crossed for you, hoping she turns up soon.

>>5139564
I've already had two cats die in my arms. The first after a long and happy life, the second taken entirely too soon from her heart failing while I held her as she struggled to breathe. The one thing I don't want is for Aki to die afraid, and I feel like taking her to a vet to euthanize her would all but guarantee that.

For now I am pretending like I can save her. I'm giving her new food, I am trying to make sure all her needs are met, and give her as much attention as I can. I am using four criteria to gauge her level of... closeness to death. Can she still purr, will she still lick my hand, will she still drink from the bathroom faucet, and is she still murring at me. Last night, all but #3 was gone and even picking her up caused her to start unintentionally growling. She then threw up the new food I was feeding her, and has reverted back, so I may have caused it just by trying to feed her too much too quickly. Mentally she is still 100% there. Like I said, I'm lying to myself saying I can bring her back from the edge, but I don't think I can cope with the reality that these are my final days with her. No animal has ever loved me as hard as she has. All I had to do was look at her and she'd purr for hours. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. I honestly might just follow behind her.

He's had a brain thing that was keeping him semi-unbalanced for the last eight or so months, and now he's having trouble standing up steady.

Sorry to hear that.

It hurts. It hurts every time. But, you are able to gauge their health better than they can, and have the ability to do something about it.
My best advice for getting over the pain is the take some memories and lock them away in your head. Some core memories and thoughts of your little guy or girl of them at their best, and at their happiest. When you miss them, and you will miss them, don't think about how they're not there.
Remember how much you meant to them and that you gave this little tiny creature, that would be lucky to have survive a scant few years had you not been around, over a decade of love and warmth and happiness.
And they gave love back.

Hold onto those memories, really think back on them and have them in your mind so solidly that they won't fade for years, and treasure them. When they've passed on, they're not entirely gone if you remember them, so remember the best of times, and not the end.

>>5139730
She just barely turned 7. She didn't have enough time.

>>5139732
>7 years
And she loved you for all of that time. No matter what, you'd have to say goodbye, eventually.
Even humans wish to be able to die in the arms of a loved one. Euthanasia lets your pet do just that. It's a last act of being there for them.
If it's their time, it's just their time. Doesn't mean it won't hurt you to see them go.

I'm sorry, friend.

She is laying with me, purring. She always purred with me. All I had to do was look at her and she'd purr for hours. I will never know a love as deep as hers ever again. That's why I'm struggling.

>>5139489
>IBD
Can't you give her corticosteroids or is it not effective?

>>5139738
She has been on steroids for over a month now. Even chemo pills. She has lost all of her meager weight in that time. There is nothing left but skin and bones.

I don't know how she's still alive. As long as she can purr... I can't let her go.

>>5139742
You're going to hate me for saying this, but if you have to see her when she can't purr, it's already too late.
She's purring because you're there, not because she's feeling great. Quality of life isn't a binary yes/no answer. You might need to make that call.

>>5139489
Nothing wrong with going to a different vet for a second opinion.

>>5139747
This is a specialist in internal medicine saying it. I already went through two normal vets.

Thanks to whatever one of you bastards suggested a detangling brush for cats. My old lady actually loves it and brushing was always a necessary evil before

My man got hit by a car three days ago. He's been playing outside every day for the past 10 years, suddenly he did not return to me.
I will always love him

>>5139890
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm struggling right now. Aki is straddling the line. She is abhorantly skinny, and often hunched over looking uncomfortable, but other times she acts as if everything is normal. She's purring endlessly like she always does, reaching out to me to pet her, turning over and wiggling...

I don't know what to do. 4th of July is tomorrow and my local vet will be closed. If something happened, I wouldn't be able to easily find someone to come put her to sleep, and I don't want her last moments to be spent afraid in a cold sterile room.

But she's still playing, and begging for attention and pets. I know the odds of her recovering are slim, but I can't stand the thought of killing her.

I don't know what to do.

>>5139912
That's a nightmare situation, anon. We can't take that decision for you.
For my boy, the decision was taken out of my hands. I'd give everything for a few more days with him.
Had I been in your situation I would not know what to do. I would regret putting her to sleep, not having more precious time with her, giving her more precious time with you and in this world. I also would regret letting her suffer more than is needed.
I don't know, anon. Give her my love.

I just let my sweet old lady go Wednesday. She had been off her feed over the weekend and hardly pooping (but lots of gas like usual) and she acted completely normal until Tuesday night aside from not eating, when she started pacing the house continuously. I had taken her to the vet Tuesday morning and she had elevated pancreatic lipates but didn't appear critical, no blockages, no other abnormal blood markers. Wednesday morning she wouldn't respond to me, ignored being pet, had 0 interest in food, and just settled down on the back of a couch next to a window to look and sniff. This was a cat that followed me around like a puppy, would talk continuously as she walked (or ran, it was so funny to hear little meows as she flounced around), and demanded to be in my lap at all times when I would sit down, even interrupting feeding to come sit on me for a few minutes. She told me it was time and sadly I had just moved so I didn't know a vet that could do home appointments so I took her back to the urgent care from the day before. I held her from the moment we got into the room until she went. It will hurt, terribly, but if you're lucky she'll tell you like my Bailey told me.

Aki update. I no longer think she is at immediate risk of passing. She flits between periods of almost normalcy and periods of looking very uncomfortable. These uncomfortable events seem to take place after she eats or drinks, making me think she might just be very nauseous due to the medication. I am trying to get her some anti nausea medication. In her semi normal periods, she plays with toys, runs around, and purrs for hours on end. If she really was dying, I don't think she would be trying THIS hard to be her normal self. She is still criticality skinny, but having stopped the chemo medication and hopefully with the anti nausea medication I can work on getting any bit of nutrients I can into her. She still devours cat treats regardless of how she feels, and goes berserk on churu, so I ordered some veterinarian nourishing churu to supliment.

Picture is her from today on my lap, purring her head off. I don't want to have unrealistic expectations and am still treating every encounter as if it might be her last, but I'm no longer panicking every time she looks uncomfortable.

>>5140303
>f she really was dying, I don't think she would be trying THIS hard to be her normal self.
Anon that is what cat's do.
They're creatures firmly planted in the middle of the food chain so hiding any kind of illness, injury, or weakness is instinctive for them.
Its an important reason why you should always take your cat in for annual checkups because by the time they show signs of something wrong its often too late.

>>5140303
Anon, Aki will always be Aki no matter how hard she suffers.

>>5140377
I... always take her to the vet
I take her constantly. This is the third vet I've taken her to. I don't understand the implication here.

>>5140409
Yes and I am trying to be extremely cognizant of that. I was just trying to give an update based on my observations. The internal medicine vet agreed with my assessment and conclusions for what it's worth. I'm going to pick up the anti nausea meds later.

>>5140438
>I... always take her to the vet
I meant that more as a general comment to anyone with a cat.
I just meant that "a cat trying hard to seem normal" is pretty typical cat behavior. Wasn't trying to imply you weren't taking care of the cat, sorry.
Hope your dood feels better.

>>5140440
She seems even better this morning, mrring at me and crying to be let in to get faucet drips. This whole thing has made me extremely aware that my time with her is short and she could go down hill in an instant so I am trying to be vigilant and explain in detail everything I see to the vet. I'm just glad I didn't have to say goodbye to her this weekend.

Sometimes they won't like cheaper cat trees because they feel wobbly.
I know I have a 6ft tall cat tree, but I had to used some 20lb dumbbells to secure the base so the cat felt better climbing up it.
It might not be a terrible idea to drive some screws in the bits to make sure they're nice and tight.
A cat typically wont climb up into something if they don't feel like it is secure.
Also location is important, but it in a corner of a room with a good sight-line of as much as possible.

>>5139985
Looks like my Nikolai.

Started Aki on a new medication and now she'd drunk as fuck.

My cats love eating rabbit. I could only get to the store one day a week so I bought them a whole bunch! Had to mix it with some stuff they didn’t like or I’d have run out though ):

>>5140594
Lucky kots, you should post pictures.
In a pinch, try ordering tikicat from PetSmart.

My male cat kneads and drools on me in the morning. I don’t mind it when his nails are trimmed but I can’t find my clippers.

I find myself with an issue. I'm moving a cat from an outdoor life. Farm house doing cat work as pest control. Too an extremely small apartment for about 3 months till arriving to the proper home after that 3 month period.
Bigger home I doubt it will be an issue since it will be bigger than the old farm house, but I'm dreading the small apartment period.
Any suggestion?

>>5140687
Patience, lots of play time (gocat wands with the mouse attachment were a hit with all my feral rehabs) and patience. You'll have to see how the individual cat handles things, but 3 months isn't too bad.

>>5140687
Provide them with large amounts of catnip, valerian, silvervine, spider plant, and indoor toys and climbing areas.

And then never do that barn cat shit again. Barn cats have never once exterminated or prevented a mouse infestation. Mice evolved to live alongside cats and only totally naïve, lab reared rodents show total aversion to cat urine. In the wild mice that live near cats have more frequent litters and are more attractive to other mice. It’s just an excuse to avoid keeping a litterbox and coming home to ruined furniture and curtains.

>>5140689
>coming home to ruined furniture and curtains
Never understood that, people just let cats scratch anything?

>>5140690
Historically most people either treated cats like wild animals or like smelly houseplants and it was common to believe they weren’t actually domesticated companion animals, leading to most cats being destructive and skittish indoors. People from less advanced cultures still have issues like this.

A cat with a friend and stuff to do doesn’t destroy much just like a cat that’s groomed often and on litter other than walmart’s cheapest doesn’t smell much.

I want to try and change my 2 cats' litter to wood pellets to save money but they aren't having it at all. I bought a 3rd box and filled it exclusively with the pellets, and they haven't touched it at all. I also tried slowly mixing the pellets in with the clay litter to try and teach them what it was. Any tips?
Buying a house soon and my monthly bills (mortage, insurance, utilities etc) are going to effectively triple so I need to tighten the belt some and not having to pay $20 for a bo of litter every other week would certainly help

>>5140703
Crush the pellets and also Sprinkle Cat Attractant. Take it one day at a time.

>>5140703
Some cats are really really picky about their litter box. And cats in general don't handle sudden changes well.
I wonder if you couldn't SLOWLY introduce the new litter by mixing it with their old litter.
Start with a 90/10 split with old litter/new litter, and gradually increase the mix over a few weeks.
What I've always wanted to know is how big of a sandbox would you need to build for a catio, or whatever, that could just naturally produce the waste.

Both my cats got diagnosed with cat leukemia which has no cure. It could have been prevented if I had the doc give them the shot years ago, somehow they didnt receive it. Now they will wither and die.
Feels like I signed their death sentence personally and I was supposed to care for them. There isn't enough talk about how keeping an animal isn't just giving head rubs and food.

>>5141097
I am so glad to hear it, she looks such a sweet little queen.

My relatives cat was missing for a while a few years ago, turned out she had been trapped in a shed a street or so away. She was thin as a rake too, but was fed back up.
She remained rather clingy and sticks to the house and its yard now.

>>5141154
She only goes out the back garden which is "sealed" and she can't get out. During the heat, a window was left wide, and she jumped out, for an unknown reason since she's timid and usually shows zero interest in going out the front. After that she couldn't jump back in since the ledge is too high for her. I've installed netting now.

>>5141166
>>5141167
Thanks. She can go back to her favourite hobby of sitting on me.
I do wonder what she was up to while I wandered around calling, maybe she did get trapped.

a group of middle aged women have started appearing in my neighborhood and feeding every fucking feral out there

>>5141190
Are they doing TNR or just feeding them? We used to put out a little food for our neighborhood strays so they'd be comfortable enough around us to easily trap and get them fixed.

>>5141097
I am very glad to hear this.

>>5141196
does it matter? TNR doesn't do shit in a city like this. they're just going to attract more cats.

>>5141190
Just be a snitch, Anon. Most cities in civilized countries outlawed the feeding of stray animals.

>>5141190
What are the consequences of this?

>>5141297
The cats multiply, the coyotes move in, the huskies get fatter, and pitbulls lose interest in toddler flesh

Feeding ferals is fine as long as you also get them fixed.

>>5141310
You’re never fixing them all or only feeding the fixed ones

The right thing to do is to move them to an enclosed pseudo-wild cat preserve and adopt them out as they socialize and get comfortable entering and spending more time in buildings. They were gonna die in the wild anyways.

If not possible, euthanize them, but a preserve only needs a tall fence and a staff building

Cats are solitary mesopredators
Dogs are apex predators
Horses and donkeys will defend themselves against predators
Mixing these animals is ALWAYS fraught with risk and it is ALWAYS your fault, idiot.
>my cat killed my other cat!
There were signs you were uncomfortable with admitting to. Cats do in fact kill other cats. They are solitary. Their response to a cat they want to leave that won’t is murder.
>my dog killed my cat!
There were signs you refused to believe. Dogs are predators. Cats are like half their diet in the wild, you retard. Cats sporadic scent trail breaking grooming behaviors and preference for high spaces protect them from being sniffed out and caught by canines.
>my horse/donkey killed my cat/dog
Yes they do just do that.

It is always your fault.

If you put the other animal down for this, you will be condemned to hell like someone who kills a cat for eating their favorite mouse would be.

>>5141541
okay
my cat was most likely killed by my dad's hunting terrier
the dog's usually in an enclosure when i let the cat out but for whatever retarded reason this time my dad let it out before i've put the cat back in, my mom called me because she heard loud barking characteristic of when the dog is chasing something, and when i managed find the dog and return it to the enclosure it was all bloody over its head
the cat has been missing for the 2nd day now and i'm losing all hope after looking everywhere for it

i usually never cared about family pets which were usually just my dad's hunting dogs or random outdoor barn cats he picked up and i always just had a sense of duty to care for them rather than affection but this cat was different because i was forced to keep her mostly indoors cause of the retarded violent terrier (and before you mention how retarded is to bring a cat to a terrier household the cat, like the terrier, was brought in by my dad, and i was against it because it was a retarded idea and i didn't want to take care about yet another animal) and i probably never was and never will be ever attached this much to an animal
i have failed her, she wasn't even 2 years old

>>5141544
>If you put the other animal down for this, you will be condemned to hell like someone who kills a cat for eating their favorite mouse would be.

i know it was just following its instincts but i don't care
i was ruminating on strangling it to death if the cat didn't return but i'm too emotionally drained to do that anymore so we'll most likely give it away hopefully to someone because i can't stand it being around anymore

>>5141547
was bound to happen eventually with that setup. you weren't forced to keep it mostly indoors, you were forced to keep it indoors full-stop and you didn't.

>>5141544
>donkeys will defend themselves against predators
A good Donk or Mule murders for fun. That's why they're good animals to keep with a flock since they're territorial an will happily stomp the shit out of anything that looks at the flock sideways.

>>5141551
i said the same thing multiple times myself
even when i didn't let her out at all in the first year someone from my family inadvertently did while the terrier was outside and i'd find her being chased up into trees with the terrier waiting below
it was just a terrible household to bring a cat in and my dad is an irresponsible retard but i shouldn't have let her out either, if i just managed to get her inside sooner or just didn't let her out in the first place that day she'd be still alive

>>5141547
Yeah, in my family, dogs and cats do not exist in the same household. Even dogs people think are devout samaritan jews like goldens will eat a cat if they are hungry.

Under no circumstances should a hunting terrier and pet cat use the same yard. A hunting dog is often adopted to keep cats out of a yard. Cats once threatened by predation rarely return. They are small and unusually tasty. Their entire lifestyle centers on eating and not being eaten. If your cat is alive they aren’t going to be eager to come back.

>>5141553
your dad made an honest mistake
irresponsible is bringing an ill fit pet into your parents house

if it makes you feel better your cat did that to hundreds of other animals and doesn’t feel there is injustice

>>5141553
>>5141555
I'm not going to be like the other brutalist anon. I'm sorry for your loss. I know you are angry right now, but taking it out on the dog isn't going to solve anything. All you will feel is emptyness from taking a life. That isn't what your cat would have wanted.

My suggestion would be to try to find a place on your own. I don't know how old you are, but just make that your goal.

When I finally got a house, I got two cats to keep me company. It has been wonderful, both caring for them and them caring for me.

Some problems you can't solve immediately. Don't let your emotions cause you to do something you can never take back. Be strong, and know you can make things better in the future for another animal that otherwise would never have the chance to be happy.

>>5141557
why the fuck would that make me feel better, honestly i was not expecting that the cat general would be full of amoral "uhhh cats kill birds and mice so it's okay if they get murdered by dogs" naturalists
i fucking hate the dog for doing this even if it was in its nature, terriers are a fucking shit breed only eclipsed by shitbulls and i will get rid of it one way or the other
our late dachshund while still having a high prey drive literally let kittens sleep with him and would just chase cats that weren't ours

>>5141618
no i don't want another cat
i didn't want this cat either but it was thrust onto me so i had to care for it and i failed and she most likely died young in the most horrible way and full of fear
the worst thing is i can't find the corpse anywhere and the thought she's still alive but dying somewhere injured or is lost and vulnerable to wildlife predation or death from hunger is completely fucking me up
she was not a true outdoor cat and was maybe out for 3-4 hours at the most each day

i don't want to be this much attached to an animal ever again

>>5141634
I'm sorry you feel that way, but you may be correct, animal ownership might not be for you.

>>5141634
If you harm that dog I will support your father in beating your ass for being such an entitled loser you brought your pet prey animal into your parents home and killed their hunting dog for doing what all predators do to prey animals.

You are a massive loser. You moved back in with your parents. You shouldn’t have owned a pet in the first place. You should have surrendered your cat to a wealthy stable individual who could have cared for it properly. YOU are the one with moral agency here therefore it is your fault you threw your cat to an animal that was guaranteed to try and eat it. You decided to take the risk of alternating usage of the yard with a hunting dog in the first place, knowing well enough that cats can live indoors perpetually. It was all YOUR idea. And you did it because your entitled loser self felt entitled to owning a cat even as a homeless bum living off his parents charity, and that entitlement extended to thinking your cat needed access to your fathers land as well.

If you steal from your father and kill his dog for natural behavior after you carelessly fed your pet varmint to it, why should he house you? Why should he ever help you again? Can you imagine doing that because his honest mistake led to his dog killing your carelessly loosed pet rabbit? Because you brought pet mice and budgies to his home and his cat ripped them up because one day he made an honest mistake, and you, the mooching guest, the failure and leech, set the critters loose without making sure your entitlements were safe in HIS home?

Cats are edible. Owning one means it is your duty to protect them. You failed because you wanted the cat to yourself no matter what and put your short term emotional preferences above the cats long term need for safety and security. Never own a pet again, you homeless failure.

People who do not at least mortgage property should not be allowed to own animals.

Guys i brought my pet corgi and ragdoll cat with me when i got fired for smoking pot and moved back in with my dad and his pet tiger ate them both when i didn’t check if it was locked up before letting my r/pets upvote generators out the door. Please console me and approve of me plotting to kill my dad’s pet tiger.

>>5141716
you are making up a lot of assumptions for someone who doesn't even have the reading comprehension to understand that the cat was brought in by my dad and that i was specifically against the whole idea because i was anticipating something like this will happen and that taking care of her was thrust onto me because if it was up to to my dad she wouldn't have survived the first week
i also said we're gonna just give the dog away because this was really the last straw and they were already problematic before this event (why do you think the dog was even kept in an enclosure in the first place? we live on a farm with no immediate neighbors)

anyway i'm done posting here, i wish i never posted in the first place

>>5141727
>im a loser who lives with his parents and a dog that could eat cats
>hmmm heres a cat
>i should keep it
Sorry the dog is based. I have owned cat eating dogs and they’re very nice and friendly when owned properly, but they still eat cats. I have also owned dog eating cats (mmmm chihuahua) that could probably kick your ass. Never at the same time. Maybe you shouldn’t own pets at all. Get a job and a house loser.

My trans roommate killed himself and left me an absolute nightmare of a tomcat, so i’ve been giving it his old estrogen. 0.25mg each morning. The cat is now unbelievably affectionate and well behaved. Better smelling as well. Though his nipples are more prominent and he is now a certified tail scratch slut. Did I just stumble upon a little known cat hack?

>>5141776
hes right tho everything eats cats. haitians? check. mexicans? yep. truckers? definitely. chinamen? that’s vietnamese actually. dogs? all the time. yotes? yip. owls? yeah. eagles? daily. bigger cats? its possible.

its not like a dog that eats a cat has issues that extend outside of cats unless you also expect to free range chickens (and have a chicken poop covered dog)

Somehow I doubt a drug designed for humans is somehow also just fine for a cat a fraction of the size. Fuck off.

Chillax homo. It’s the same chemical they give cats with estrogen production problems and I’m well under the usual dose. He’s started to really like hanging around the neighbors female husky ever since starting it and I have more than enough DIY medical experience (thanks, tranny friend) to do kitty blood panels.

Ever since starting this he’s been super nice instead of super mean and he’s following and snuggling the neighbors husky girl. This cat is 100% experiencing gender euphoria after years of being a frustrated, confused eunuch.

Got a kitty about a year and a half ago. He's around a year and a half old too. Friend found a stray/possibly feral kitty behind her home and asked if I'd take it. No details other than it's pretty young and willing to snuggle
I wouldnt mind taking it but I have no idea how my cat would deal with it. He's very aggressive when he plays and I don't want him to claw/bite the shit out of the kitten. I dunno if I have the space for another kitty and food/litter but I feel like I gotta at least take care of it until I can find it a home
They're both males so I dunno if that makes it more or less likely for them to hate each other

It's anyone's guess. They might be bros, they might hate each other. The main thing is to give them both their own space to start out. When I brought home a new kitten to replace the one that died, I had her in her own room, and she stayed in there for two weeks while I took and swapped blankets that had the other cat's smell.

Thankfully for me, the kitten was like "And this big cat is now my favorite thing in the world" and my older can just couldn't say no to her, but they're also both Maine Coons so the level of being able to be okay with things they don't like was high from the outset.

Basically look up guides on how to introduce cats, and have a way for them to be separated.

Why are you interrupting his work? He is VERY busy.

Kotsitting my friends young kot at my place. Wanted to just see how it is because if I ever got a bigger mammal pet it would be a kot. She is very affectionate, cute, always wants to sit on me or sleep next to me, which is lovely. Still seems to be a lot of work. Its a smallish apartment and I basically had to ban her from the living room because she got excited there and scratched the floor up in places, also started to set her sights on the sofa and kitchen furniture. She would be great if she wasn't so fond of scratching stuff. Kinda changed my views on ever getting a kot, don't want to do any declawing brutality.

In addition to the other post, have an exit plan. It's possible that your new kitty isn't going to ever play nice with your older one.

My cat will yowl and demand to be let out if I don't give him some time outside. He's always supervised, so I don't have to worry about him getting hit by a car or attacked by a predator or anything. But he does like to try and attack the birds who eat all the seeds we leave out for them on a table in the garden. Today was his first successful hunt.

Are you a person, or a cat? You are the responsible one. He can yowl all he wants, if you don't let him out, he won't go out. He does not have thumbs.

Be a responsible owner. If you feel he has to go outside, make a small netted off area so he can't harm anything.

>>5142051
You can choose to be happy for the cat, or sad for the bird. Nothing about the world will change, only your own mind.

If your failson decided to pick up hunting as a hobby, would you jail him as a result? No. Fuck off, retard.
