It is astounding the lengths indoor cucks will go to in order to facilitate their cat to shit inside their house instead of letting them go outside in the backyard or porch

>>5008658
>instead of letting them go outside in the backyard or porch
don't forget the neighbor's garden lol

>>5008658
It is astounding the amount of seethe that comes from outdoor faggots when people plant lilies and own dogs

>>5008661
>don't forget the neighbor's garden lol
that's why I use permethrin

Keeping any animal indoors is nasty.

>>5008779
That's why your parents kicked you out as soon as they could

I've adopted cats that were rescued from a breeding mill situation. Sweet animals. The vets think they might be sisters or mother and daughter. I've only had them for three days.

One is a Siamese and one is a Ragdoll. Ragdoll is very social and affectionate. She wants to around people and close to Siamese. Siamese is more standoffish and a little skittish. She seems to be quite tolerant though.

When I feed them, the Ragdoll eats quickly and then moves on to the Siamese's plate. The Siamese eats slower, looks up a lot to check if the Ragdoll is coming, but she always seems hungry. If the Ragdoll comes over, she will surrender her food.

They both lay on my couch. The Siamese will lay away from the Ragdoll, but the Ragdoll will often move to join the Siamese. Sometimes, the Siamese will tolerate it or move if she gets annoyed but occasionally, it will lead to hissing. It doesn't seem to escalate past that though.

Should I do something? Are they still getting used to their new home or does the Ragdoll's behavior need to be corrected so she's not bullying the smaller Siamese?

>>5009427
just shoot the one stealing food(with water gun), otherwise let them fight to their heart's content

>>5009427
you can feed them in separate rooms

he is too shameless

Why would anyone want a cat with long hair? I have a brittish shorthair and he sheds so fucking much i cant imagine having to deal with a long haired cat that would also have to address he/her getting piss and shit on their fur

>>5010057
If you prefer having outdoor cats or live in colder climates. Aside from that it is purely for aesthetic.

My cat's had scratching fits for a while where he'll fuck up his cheeks, vet's always said he couldn't pinpoint anything but recently it's gotten pretty bad, socks are pretty useless too so please help me solve it.
Can this be allergies? He's had a polyester smol cat house thingy for a while too, but probably longer tbf, and in general it seems like his health and disposition noticeably declined after our other cat passed away (about 3 and a half years ago), though this one isn't young anymore either, going on 14. I also sorta remember having gone to the vet with him for some reason long, long ago and there was something to do with mites which helped whatever it was at the time, but for some reason that wasn't something the vet's thought of so far.

What could be going on? Please excuse my shit memory.

My cat won't make it, she got liquid in her heart and her lungs, the vet said 2 weeks, but she isn't eating anything.. I think it's the first time I saw my dad crying. She lived 15 years

>>5010108
Meds won't help anymore? Mine had some liquid at least in the lungs but meds sorted that out pretty quickly.
Wishing you strength.

>>5010108
Hope the best, if my cat makes it to 15 years I'd be at peace even if it'd be very depressing for a while

Anyone here got a catio? My mom's been trying to get me to build her one and I'm looking for designs to base it off.

>>5010129
Use case?

>>5010134
torment my indoor cat by giving him slightly more access to the outdoors

>>5010136
Respectable. I reccomend looking into this as it is the same principle and design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_cage

>You have DEDICATED PLUMBING FACILITIES..... in your HOME??? JUST GO OUTSIDE IN THE DESIGNATED SHITTING STREET!

Yeah I know I took the bait but whatever

>>5010129
I'm pretty sure you can buy them for reasonable prices at big box stores

>>5010192

which for cats is nonflush sand pit of clumping granules that track all over your house
if only cats weren't retarded and could be trusted to go out just to take a shit/piss and come back like dogs do, best compromise is putting the litterbox is a catio

>>5010203
are you illiterate

>>5010110
>>5010112
She got liquid in both her lungs and heart, I wasn't there at the vet, but dad told me the vet said it didn't worth getting treatment.
She looks very tired, will only lick the liquid of her wet food and immediately starts breathing hard, won't allow anyone get closer, won't get aggressive, just leaves the zone. This is so fucking sad bros

>>5010192
>he conflates the stupid notion of humans not having plumbing as somehow comparable
Bait or not, you should have kept your mouth shut so no one realized how retarded that line of logic is.

Should I be ordering food/supplies on chewy to stack rewards and shit? I noticed things are priced about same as Amazon but with more perks

>>5010260
it is literally the exact same: an indoor, dedicated facility for evacuation of the bowels in a controlled environment that eases cleaning and improves hygiene
>WHY NOT JUST LET THEM SHIT OUTSIDE?
DO YOU? THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID YOU DUMBASS

>>5010663
>misses the fucking point again
Humans shitting in the street is not compareble to animals shitting in the street, you knuckle dragging retard. Making the argument that by me saying you should not over engineer a ridiculous system for an animal to shit in your own home is the same as me saying that you should not be able to shit in your own home using plumbing is fucking moronic.

>>5010673
you're insane, it is comparable, especially for cats with predictable lavatory tendencies and that are very prone to illness or hazard when let outside.
you're just a toxo schizo.

>>5010673
Animals shitting in the street spreads disease. Toxoplasmosis is the second leading cause of deaths from foodborne illness and has caused an unrecordable number of miscarriages and mental illnesses.

You only have these three options
1: You engineer a species specific toilet for your pet
2: Your pet shits in a designated, frequently cleaned spot on your property
3: You take your animal for a shitting walk, they take a crap on some of that useless, never-traversed front grass, and you bag it up. Feed them metamucil so their shits dont leave smears.

>>5010678
>you're just a toxo schizo
>says the anon who want's his cat to shit in his home
How can someone be this retarded? This must be just bait at this point, a faggot like this can't actually exist

>>5010680
Point 3 applies most of the time anyway, but I am not sure you can really do that with a cat

>>5010683
Cats can't give you toxo if they dont catch it, and they only catch it from being let outside so toxo-infected rodents actively seek them out.

>>5010685
Cats are terrified on walks unless it's one of the "cats of the future" (special breeds selected for more docility/less fear, not your typical shelter mongrel) so it's basically 1 and 2 for cat owners

>>5010057
Because they're fluffy and i like hugging my fluffy cats.

>>5010865
also, i shave their asses and brush them. never had piss and shit problems

>>5010865
>>5010866
Is brushing regularly enough to avoid smells stuck to the fur?

>>5010881
they smell like nothing specific to me, if I hold them after I use deodorant or perfume on myself, they also smell like it for a while. i do bathe them once every 3 months, then they have a specific odor to their fur for like a couple of days which is neither pleasant or unpleasant

>>5010683
>you're a scat fetishist if you want to use the toilet instead of shitting outside in the street

This is emotional abuse. Kots are dignified, sophisticated creatures, and it isn't fair that we dress them up and make them look silly.

>>5008658
sorry, but i dont want my pets to get run over or poisoned by psychopaths. Or snatched by some random person.

>>5010964
he seems to be enjoying it

>>5008658
Not everyone has a backyard.
I had to move litter box inside because my senior cat developed health issues and didn't go out anymore.

Does this look like chin acne or ringworm? There is this outside cat that we believe have ringworm that we feed, and sometimes he'll dart in the house cause he loves us and we have to get him out. I'm not afraid he could have got ringworm from him being in contact with stuff, but he does have bad chin acne issues that flare up sometimes. The circle just worries me.

>>5011011
>I'm not afraid
I'm afraid* anyway I'm praying it's not ringworm cause that seems really annoying to treat. We can't take the one outside that has it to the vet cause it's not ours but we feel really bad for him

>>5011011
>>5011016
Sorry for all the posts, but just looked into lime sulfur spray and stuff like that and since the cat will let me pet him a lot outside while he eats soft food, maybe I should get some spray and apply that all over his body. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. I also realized there isn't much someone can tell from the picture I posted, but whatever. I just feel like shit cause I hate the idea of an animal suffering from itching all the time.

>>5009823
Handsome lad

how to maintain blinds with a cat in the house? This window is in a corner by a shelf, she likes to parkour on the wimdow to get to the shelf

>>5011192
get curtains :D

rocky first meeting, but they're bros now

Now that the dust has settled, what the FUCK was his problem?

>cat has ibs diagnosis for the last 5 years (16 now)
>goes on 1/4 pill of cerenia + 1/8th of mirtazapine after i leave for vacation for a few days and she starves herself
>will only eat friskies with proviable probiotics in it, quit prescription canned wet food entirely won't even touch it even on the mirtazapine just yowls and wont stfu even if you leave it out all night
>triggers flareup at some point from eating too much
>now has had 5 days of straight watery diarrhea
>stopped both meds after day 3 of shits
>explain what's going on to clinic, vet tech (not even vet) recommends ultrasound + fecal exam
>very clearly explain i have a incontinent cat that's shitting water and i need to do something asap

i literally just spent $300 on this fucking asshole and i cant even get the vet to call me, at what point do i switch vets. should i even keep going to this clinic? they're a cat only vet practice too

the annoying part is the vet freaked out when during the last flareup i was giving her 1mg prednisone every other day (quit eating prescription dry kibble, only ate friskies) for 4 weeks saying that she was going to get diabetes like that.

it always feels like she's guilting me for not "caring" enough for the cat when im literally dropping $2-300+ per visit (most egregious with her not wanting to renew my prescription for her food until she got a ekg back in may...$900 to be told she has a heart murmur that's normal for her age). im probably at $3-4000 spent in the last 2 years there

Uh oh. She is getting cuddly.

I love when my dumb cat falls asleep in an awkward pose

My cat started to notice a pattern: I would leave him alone if he started making angry noises at me. So, he now preempts these noises when his intuition (often right) tells him that I'm about to grab him, just to force him onto my chest in bed.

It's annoying, but I'm also proud of him. The part that sucks is that this intensifies.

Yeah, I have a cat that never sleeps with me, doesn't tolerate sitting on me, and runs away after I pet him. But at the same time, he cries after me, asks only me for food, never disturbs my sleep, and is very respectful otherwise.

Am I an asshole for not talking to my cat? I spoil him and treat him well but never talk to him

How do I bond with my new cat? I give him water, play with him, feed him but most of the time, he goes to sit across the room from me. He won't come into my room either.

>>5011982
you're not supposed to adopt strays retard

bros... my kot caught me watching huskylust's vids again. she stared at the screen for a while, then looked at me and took at a nap on a chaor.

how do i assure her she won't be replaced by a dog? as much as i love cookie and the svelte and curvy shape of a lean female working dog, dogs are almost as much work as human women.

>>5012115
gib belly rubs

SHE LOVES MICROPLASTICS!

>>5012115
why does she look like one of my cats?

>>5012305
also, he does this when I pet him sometimes

>>5012115
Watching WHAT vids? Anon i dont like what google is showing me

Have any of your cats had ringworm? How did you treat it? Im 70% sure my cat has it vet wanted to charge 250 just to test for it using an antifungal shampoo

>>5012364
I've never had ringworm in my cats, but saw it plenty in the shelter I worked for. You treat it with a combo of topical (shampoo, lime sulfur dip) and oral antifungals from the vet.
>test for it using an antifungal shampoo
Do you mean the $250 includes testing for ringworm via a culture and the shampoo to treat it? Or the vet is just going to charge that for a shampoo alone, and if it clears up, declare ringworm that way?

>>5012376
The test was just to determine if my cat has ringworm i paid 40 dollars for an antifungal shampoo. He has a bald patch on his ear.

I know I'm overreacting but I want to vent.
A while back I found a 4/5 week old kitten, Bean, after a big storm. He's now 11/12 weeks old but he has been a menace from the moment I brought him in.
Ever since the beginning Bean ignores any toy that's not a Go Cat Mouse or Bee (and even then he refuses to play with them half the time), constantly attacks any exposed part of my skin, I give, gets destructive with furniture, the whole nine yards. When he does decide to play he can easily go for over an hour, and will bite and scratch when I have to stop. Even if I pet him in his sleep he'll wake up and immediately start biting. I'm covered head to toe in scratches. I redirect and he kicks the toy away to bite me more, I try to ignore him and he bites harder, I yelp and walk away and he waits until I come back to bite even more. I know a big part of this is that he didn't have a chance to socialize with his liter.
I did some research and spoke with multiple fosters for a local rescue and ended up adopting a 3.5 month kitten, Shadow. My hope was that they could play and socialize with each other.
Shadow is an angel. He's never once bitten or scratched at me, he plays with any toy I give him, he always wants love and pets, etc.
The problem is that they don't get along. They'll hiss and run away from each other. I know they probably need more time, but now it's even worse because I have to divide my already limited time between 2 cats, trying to keep them separated, and it feels like no one is happy here. I feel so sad that I can't fully give either cat what they want and don't know what to do. I have a vet appointment on Tuesday and will ask for their advice...

>>5012384
Domesticated animals are not programmed to like humans. They have an extended socialization window so they can adapt to humans.

Cats suck at this because they're kind of dumb and therefore more under control of their instincts, dogs are great at this because they're very smart. If you want cats with good temperaments you need to adopt kittens from a reputable breeder, not Nth generation feral mutts that are essentially the cat version of a shitty pajeet street dog - not the original wild animal, and worse than the modern domesticated one, a purely degenerated and inferior animal adapted to an inferior environment that breeds inferiority.

anon with retarded cats here
I was doing some cleaning and I found an old toy - one of those fishing rod looking wands that you can attach a mouse or whatever too. Haven't used it in months with them because it's in a room in the house I don't use often. It looks like one of them bit through the plastic wire and a good chunk of it is missing - only issue is I have no idea which of them could have done it and if they ate it or not. One of them had been puking a few weeks ago but that's stopped. Tore up the room looking for the spare piece but couldn't find anything. Any advice? Black cat has a history of eating things but both have looked fine to me recently, both eating and pooping as far as I can tell.

>>5012383
Ok. The price for the ringworm culture is within the range of normal. Can you get a clearer photo? Is he an outdoor cat?

>>5012388
Fully indoor kitten hes 3 months old, I have lotramin ultra i put a little on his ear as I bathed him yesterday with that shampoo. It sucks it had to be on a bad spot for showers. I took him to a different vet few weeks ago where they said he had a yeast infection in ear and gave me tresaderm drops to put inside his ear for a week, it cleaned out his ears nicely no more gunk but I noticed he was still pawing at ears then brought him to another vet to have him checked out again with this patch on ear and they said it could be ringworm but I didn't opt for test to confirm it. Could that thin patch be a yeast infection and not ringworm

Post cat tummy RIGHT NOW

Stupid fucking glitched out Cuckchan won't let me make a thread, and there's not currently a bunny thread, so I'mma ask my question here since rabbits are essentially vegetarian cats.

I lost my pet recently, and I am really struggling because of it. He was a dwarf European rabbit, very fluffy, kind of a lovable troll, would almost never let me pet him, but he was starting to warm up to me.

It's particularly hard because I feel like I might have accidentally let him eat something poisonous to him. If anyone knows about this, please tell me, but I left out some corn chips, which are usually fine if he eats them as an occasional snack, but I failed to realise they might be dangerous because I prepared a dish that had onion powder on it and the chips were eaten on the same plate. Small chance they might have gotten some of the powder on them. Would that really have done him in if it was such a small bit, though? Not sure.

Anyway, my state is horrible on pet owners' rights and taxidermists aren't allowed here to preserve him. There's a place in Ohio that could do it, but it's so expensive that I feel like I shouldn't. He looks dignified, like he's just chilling out as usual. But I'm not sure what to do with his body now. Currently he's in a cardboard box in the bottom of my freezer so he doesn't decay or anything.

So if I were to leave him in the freezer long enough, would it eventually eliminate all the bacteria that would break him down and cause him to decay, thus preserving him on my own? Or will I need to eventually just dig a nice grave site for him and just put him in the ground and let nature take its course?

>>5012396
does this look like ringworm or too early to say?

>>5012386
If there was several bouts of puking and then nothing, and now that's stopped and they're eating and using the litter fine, no lethargy or abnormal behaviour, it sounds like they successfully passed the ingested plastic bit. If you want to be absolutely certain and want to shell put the money, could get ultrasounds to be sure.
Should probably start keeping anything potentially dangerous to ingest away from them.
>>5012396
Looks like it could be the start of ringworm to me, yes. Don't use human medications on your cat - use a vet-prescribed antifungal wash and pill.

>>5012459
the vet suggested i use the shampoo and i ordered a conzol lotion that they prescribed. i also ordered a bottle of lime sulfur dip. with all these i hope its gone fast. how crazy am i going to have to be with the disinfecting my room, bedding,surfaces,floor and toys?

>>5012459
forgot to mention here>>5012461
vet said that oral medications can be tough on the cats liver and advised against it for now since i wasnt paying for test

>>5012423
Cats are way smarter and cleaner than rabbits, it's bigger than the cat/dog gulf sis.

Have you considered just pouring a metric assload of natron (sea salt and baking soda) into a box, burying the rabbit, and then keeping that it a little pyramid in your backyard

Maybe you could wrap it in gauze too like a king tutencarrot

>>5012459
yeah gave the vet a call earlier and they said the same thing. thanks anon.

>>5012465
Hmm, a pyramid for the little man is not a bad idea...

>>5012462
Alright, that's fair. 3 months is pretty little. Hopefully it clears up with all the dips/shampoos/etc. If no improvement get the culture...doesn't look like yeast to me, but it's nice to rule out ringworm.
Definitely keep things clean, launder fabrics on high temps, but beyond regular hygiene upkeep I personally found ringworm didn't need as thorough sterilizing as, say, coccidia. If you can keep kitten in one room with minimal stuff in it it's easier.

>>5012547
thanks for the information, with dips in sulfur and special shampoo how long should it take to clear completely?

>>5012566
It can take a while, 4-8 weeks. You should start seeing improvement on half that time though.
Boosting immune system with bovine colostrum and the best food you can afford (wet, not dry) will help, with preventing reoccurrence as well.

>>5012569
thank you and i should be doing the dips and shampoo applications for 4-8 weeks? also, i give my kitten good food, i buy that expensive hills kitten food

>>5012115
schizo-san…

thoughts on cat water fountains? are they a meme?

>>5012600
My cat drinks a lot more after she got one, just make sure get one with a filter, and change it every month and change the water and clean the fountain at least weekly sometimes the motor top. I have a stainless steel catit fountain.

>>5011274
He wanted to be Ratchet

>>5012628
is that real???

>>5012572
Yes, do the shampoo and the dip twice a week each.
Hill's isn't that great quality and you could probably find something better (free of grain, rice, peas, for example) at the same price point. Whatever you do feed, wet is best.
Hope kitty clears up quickly!
>>5012600
Cat-dependant. Helps a lot of cats drink more, some don't care. Stainless steel is the way to go for less scum/bacteria buildup. Doesn't hurt to have one though. Bonus: ambient water feature noise.

My cat is acting strange this morning. He's just laying down. Usually he's pretty jumpy and active. I tried petting him, and when I got to his belly he started pushing my hand away. I threw up some yellowish liquid, not foamy, with a bit of hair in it. He does get hairballs because he does most of the grooming for him and his brother, his brother is long-haired. He's just laying in the corner now. He's usually a heavy purrer, but when I pet him he's just making a whistling sound. He's making biscuits and doing cute hand stretches at me, so I don't think he's super in distress. I assume it's some sort of stomach discomfort, but I'm concerned whether I should take him to the vet or not.

>>5012787
Start by calling the vet maybe?

I have a indoor plant that has little rocks all around it and one of my kittens keeps stealing the rocks and batting them all over the house. It is very cute, but I'm concerned it may scratch my hardwood floors. How do I deter him from this behaviour? I have tried putting toys he likes close to the plant, but he just ignores them and goes obsessively after the rocks.

>>5012792
Tinfoil around it until he stops trying.

>>5012790
He's letting me touch his belly and purring again.

Cats and cat owners are disgusting.

>>5012799
>>5012790
I called. They didn't seem too worried. They said they do walk-ins 9-11am, not appointments until next week. They said if he's still acting funny to bring him in tomorrow morning, that it's most likely general stomach discomfort. Gave me an emergency number just in case.

He started moving around a bit more earlier. Looked like he was looking for food. He wouldn't eat wet food. He did eat a churru about an hour ago and kept it down. He goes back and forth between letting me touch his belly and not. He hasn't jumped at all today. He peed. Still purring. Just acting super lethargic, sitting in the corner of my room.

Sorry I really love this cat and just trying to get as much advice, providing as much info as I can.

>>5012845
Nobody here can diagnose your cat, you should just listen to the vet and go if it continues >>5012824

>>5012851
I know. I'm just worried and hoped to get some good perspective and info here. I don't use reddit and everything on google says my cat is dying so I'm a little on edge.

>>5012859
Totally understandable, but if it ate something, and kept it down I wouldn't be too worried. Might just be a stomach bug. Keep an eye on him and wait for tomorrow

>>5012385

Cats are good pets with huge potential. Feral mutts will be excluded from the gene pool. The future is purebred.

>>5010129
I don't have any good pics but my in law built a large one with some wooden pillars and chicken wire. She then made a little bridge from the back patio to the run.

It looks bad imo but she built the whole thing by herself in maybe a weeks time with scrap material. If you invest more time and money to properly measure and cut things you can probably get something better.

The bridge is definitely a highlight. Relatively easy to build and it allows you to place the catio wherever you want + the cats love it. And it allows for a walking path underneath.

>>5010351
I haven't gotten much from their rewards but at least for fancy feast the per can price is cheaper than anywhere else. I also really like their option to add one-time purchases to an autoship for stuff that I don't necessarily need at that second.

Holy fuck /an/ jannies are actual psychos get help

Just fucked my cat god it was brilliant. He was yowling and roaring loud enough to wake the earth. I got some premium cat food to reward this new stage of our relationship but he keeps running away from me but no doubt he'll get used to it soon.

>>5010881
Cats don't smell unless they have dental hygiene issues or are ill. Even long-haired cats. The dogfuckers on /an/ don't seem to understand that cat piss is not a cat, just like a pile of human diarrhea isn't a human.

Cute peaches 'n' cream.

Any update from anon with his sick cat? Did you go to the vet

>>5013198
He has a wide range of emotional states

Anyone have experience with Savannahs? Especially with higher serval content. Getting one next year.

>>5013320
He's good. Perfectly normal today. He ended up normalizing in the evening. I guess it was just an upset stomach.

>>5013712
His brother is ominously staring us down while gooning.

See >>5012899

Door perches are surprisingly useful for the cats.

Why is my cat aware that I take a shit and patiently waits outside only to always spook me? Why do they scare their owners on purpose?

>>5013327
he laughs in earnest like an old man. i love him

>>5011072
I agree. I just got a really nice pic of him exploring his new cat tree :)

>>5014249
hes very well mannered, however quite loud

>>5014286
that bald spot on his nose, did he have ringworm that caused that?

>>5014305
I'm genuinely not sure, I've always known him like this. If you're wondering why I don't know, its because this is actually my cousins cat that I ended up adopting because he became obsessed with me and she travelled too much to take care of him. He's turning 14, but I've only had him fulltime a few years now.

>>5011192

thoughts on viva la kitty brand cat food?

I got my male kitten neutered yesterday afternoon. 9 more days of cone wearing to go. He's doing well tho, taking his medication.

>>5014688
Never heard of it, i like Tiki cat

>>5014708
i thought cats dont need cones for regular neuter?

>>5014709
its a petsmart exclusive, maybe i'll try hills cans

>>5014710
They can still lick the wound open. Every cat i've spayed or neutered has worn a cone for a minimum of 10 days.

>>5014712
>minimum of 10 day
fuck i was thinking 3 days tops is fine

>>5014713
I wish it was 3 days. I took 3 days off but have to work this weekend. I don't have anyone to help watch him and my other cat so i'll have to separate them while im gone.

>>5014715
you're probably fine removing cone while hes under your direct supervision

Where's Rupert? Is he okay? I haven't seen him visiting boards in a while.

What do you feed a nursing cat?
Basically, had cat essentially demand to live in my house despite me already having three big dogs about 2 months ago. In typical cat fashion, she was pregnant. She didnt look it, but apparently was. I fed her pic rel for the entire time shes been here and still do. I get the different flavors and stuff but theyre all nutritionally similar from this line.
Is there something better or more I should be doing during the nursing period? Open to suggestions and price isnt really an issue. Even if the bag is kind of expensive, cats eat so little compared to my dogs that its whatever.

Why are they like this?

Why bother in life

I'm gonna have to put down my beloved tuxie tomorrow, she's at the end of a long battle with cancer. She's such a good kitty, she was always so affectionate and sociable and loving. She loved to weave between my legs and hug me with her tail, and whenever she wanted my attention, she'd put her front legs up on my leg (that's actually how she first got my attention at the shelter, she picked me out and not the other way around). Now she spends all day lying around, she seems so sad and she can't even purr without coughing. I know it's her time, but that doesn't make it any easier. This is my first time putting down a pet, I'm gonna miss her so much bros. Please pray for her.

Kitty keeps playing with his water bowl and splashing it around instead of just drinking it
I assume he needs to be entertained more but he doesn't respond to my attempts to play half the time

>>5015179
Try playing tag with him, run away after tagging him and hide to encourage him to hunt you. like make a big show that you are coming up to him and tap his forehead with the palm of hand

>>5015190
Tried running up to tag him, he yowled at me. Never seen him do that before
I don't think I'm meant to have a pet

get a cat fountain, sometimes they do that because they have a hard time seeing the water line in a still bowl.

>>5015203

Please help

>>5008656 (OP)
Someone posted this picture in a /diy/ abominations thread and it blew me away how many people reacted to it like it's a litter box on the diner table next to grandpa eating his porkchops, and not clearly just a cheap work bench in the basement made specifically for making changing the litter box easier on the owner.

>>5015179

Kitty playing with water bowl can also be a sign of FLUTD.
Same happened 2 my boy kitten.
Dead at less than 2 years old.
Keep an eye on litter box for urine activity or lack of it.

My kitten has gotten his core vaccines, do you guys continue to vaccinate your cats?

>>5015288
I never got the first ones. I found you cats in a wall of a house I was about to demolish, if you get sick I can put you right back in that wall. Only warning

>>5015210
Cats have a blind spot in front of their snout and below it.
If the water is still, and its a bowl that is just kind of plain inside the cat has a hard time judging where the water level is. A cat fountain makes a little bit of noise, and the rippling on the surface is something they can eyeball it.
Or if its like my cat he drinks from the little ledge the water dribbles down, like he's drinking from a faucet.
It encourages your cat to drink more water which is always a good thing since the most common problem with cats are kidney problems and blocked bladders, usually because they're not getting enough water.

What do you call the part of a cat's face where the whiskers come out.
Its not their lips. Its not their nose. Its not really their cheeks, and cat's don't really have a muzzle like a dog.
So what the fuck do you call it?

the entire vet industry is based on how much $$$$$ they can extract from gullible pet owners. The only good thing about the vet industry is they have a very high suicide rate.

I'm about to lose my 5th cat in just over a year. All of them were old, the last one is 18 years old, just lost my 20 year old 2 months ago but with him I knew it was his time for weeks if not months before he finally stopped eating and decided to not let him degrade and suffer.

I noticed my last cat stopped eating most of her food a few days ago and immediately realized it was happening again because I had seen it happen with all my other cats. Now her breathing is labored, took her to the vet and she's anemic but no fluid in the lungs, even the vet is unsure what's happening she got antibiotics but I know it's not an infection. She barely moves now, lays on the floor after using the litter box and I haven't seen her drink water in days so I'm giving her subcutaneous fluids.

The worst part is I noticed her not eating her food on Friday, took her to the vet on that day but now I have to wait for the weekend to be over to take her back to the vet to figure out what else I can do but I know there's nothing else but I still have to, it's just delaying the inevitable that I will have to put by last baby to sleep again and I just can't do it anymore... losing so many animals in a short span of time, and now my dog is also 15 years old and survived cancer 2 years ago which thankfully hasn't returned but he doesn't have much longer to live either and then I'll have no animals left.

I guess I'm posting this because... I just don't know how I can get more animals again. I've had so many in my life not just the 5 I've lost lately, like dozens of cats from my childhood to adulthood all of which are gone now, but I haven't got a new animal in well over a decade and I just don't know if I can despite how much I love having them and know there's so many that need a home... it's just hard and maybe I just need time to move on and take in another one.

Anyways thanks for reading my TED talk I just don't have anyone to talk to about this and I'm bummed as hell right now.

MY cat is the most beautifulist in the whole world.

>>5015569

How do you stop them from just jumping in while youre not playing attention?

What's the best grooming routine for helping a long hair cat that has some matting already?

>>5008658
I adopt outdoor cats by baiting them into my house and then train them to stop wanting to go outside and prefer the indoors. It takes about 2 months for them to forget they ever wanted to leave, and then I take them to a shelter in another county or adopt them out through a neighboring town's craigslist.

>>5015716
To be fair thats because they are too disorganized, self interested, and bad at planning to create a reliable source of clean water. We take the lower castes over here and even when they have a homogenous living space free of white oppression they dont maintain a thing.

Water can be filtered by stacking rocks. Literally, stacking rocks. Big rocks on top to sand at the bottom. A cheap iodine tab finishes the job. Anyone who has no clean water source at all deserves it.

My cat shoes just died in my arms.

I'm still in shock and unable to process this. Like I said earlier, she stopped eating Thursday, took her to the vet Saturday, they told me to bring her back monday if she didn't improve which I was going to do in the morning. But Sunday she declined RAPIDLY. I was considering taking her to an emergency vet but they wanted over $250 just to bring her in and euthanize her so I thought she would make it through the night and I would take her to my normal vet early in the morning.

But about 3 hours ago she abruptly jumped off my lap where she had been laying almost all day and ran to the corner of my room, I checked on her and she was breathing with her mouth open, struggling to breathe. I didn't know what to do and there was no way she would make it to the emergency vet so I just held her in my arms sobbing as she stopped breathing after a few minutes, that's all I could do. I've never had to see one of my animals die like this, the dozens of cats I have owned over the years, all of them passed at the vet with euthanasia.

I feel broken right now, I've always struggled with losing my animals but this is the worst it's ever been, seeing her struggle to breathe like that, watching the life fade from her eyes with no comfort was the worst experience of my life...

To make matters worse, her sister, socks, just passed away last September. She died under similar circumstances, but I was able to bring her to the vet for euthanasia and had time to process what happened to her and her sister to comfort me after she passed. Now I have no cats left, the others I had died in recent years too from old age and cancer.

anyways thanks for reading my TED talk again sorry it's an essay I'm just broken right now and need to cope somehow... pic related is Shoes just a few months ago, she seemed like she would go on forever at some times... I've had many cats live into their 20s. She was 18 years old, born around late 2006.

>>5015713
How bad is the matting? If it can't be brushed out with a detangling comb (starting slowly from the fur ends and working towards the skin - pinch the fur close to the skin for you're not pulling as you brush) then you'll have to shave it off, or cut it if you can safely do so without risking cutting skin. After that, prevention is just regular brushing and catching matts before they get too big to brush out with the matting comb.

What's with some whiskers having a hard bit / ball-like on the end like this? Instead of it thinning down like normal whiskers?
I only ever found this post about it online, I can't find anything more on the topic. It's not cutting or melting

What could this be? It's a hard lump smaller than a green pea above her shoulders / on her lower neck. It's irritated because she scratches it but apart from a scab and sometimes a bit of superficial pus when she opens it it doesn't seem to be fluid-filled. She's had it for some time now and it's not growing or causing her pain as far as I can tell.

>>5016154
Had something similar on my kitten, a baby lump with scab over it. I'd scratch the scab off and itd still be there days later. What fixed it is when my kitten got ringworm vet prescribed an antifungal shampoo. I scraped the scab off one more time and thoroughly gathered him up and the next day the lump was gone. Maybe one of the non prescription antifungal shampoos on amazon will work

WHY

THE MOMENT I PULL MY DICK OUT

WHY
THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS ONLY ME

>>5010066
Anyone?

>>5016154
If it's lasting and occasionally has pus, you should take her to the vet and get a culture done. Many things it could be, especially if it doesn't heal. Stop her from scratching it, with a cone or sweater or something.
>>5016288
That's pretty bad looking. It definitely could be allergies, but it's more likely dietary than environmental, you could do an elimination diet - foods with a single protein source and free of grains and legumes.
It could also be an overgrowth of bacteria or yeast. Are food and water dishes cleaned daily? Use stainless or ceramic instead of plastic. Check around his claw beds, is there similar gunk?
Could also be his teeth - check them for tartar buildup, redness around the gums, abscesses. A dental may help.
Did you bring up that a mite treatment seemed to help last time? Is it only around his mouth? Could have the vet do a culture.
In the meantime, get chlorhexidine wipes and regularly, gently wipe around his chin and mouth; keep his bed, food, and water dishes clean; keep him from scratching with a cone. The soft ones are more comfortable and are still effective.

>>5016316
>diet
Most of his teeth had to be removed years ago. Somehow always had bad breath compared to our other cat, eventually we noticed issues in some way coming up and it had to be done. Even if I was young and more inexperienced, I concede my failure and guilt in not dealing with it in time.
But yeah has to be soft food these days. Also not the best digestive system and not the strongest lower body anymore so he had the shits pretty badly for a good while too, eventually we tried just sticking to one brand and luckily at least that's been fine since.

tl;dr 1
We don't have much wiggle room with regards to diet, but I'll see if there is something better we can find and that works.

Dishes are cleaned with every portion. Hasn't consciously gone for water in a long time, but we try to put just a bit of water in the dish along with the food. We used to use plastic but have switched to stainless a while ago, hasn't really fixed it. As I mentioned he has this mini cat house thing (dunno what to call it) which we could try doing away with for a while, timeframe might line up with when the behaviour started but I'm not too sure.
Sleeping so can't check his claws right now but they might have some gunk. What then?
The mite treatment was targeting I think a flare-up around his ears and/or neck. It was very long ago, sorry.
I'll look into the wipes and the cone. Even if the cone might not make the pain or whatever go away, at least it will protect him where the socks were ineffective. Any recommendations on material etc.?
My deepest thanks for your help.

Ok there is some gunk to the claws, but it's pretty close to the root. But also overall he's more disorientated these days and ends up (stuck) in places where he shouldn't and also can't into grooming anymore.

What's the best wet food i can get my kitten? Fancy feast? Hills?

>>5016344
Depends on your budget and what's available in your area. A lot of people will sing Tiki Cat's praises as the best brand, but it's fairly expensive. Personally I've found Weruva's various labels to have a good cost/quality balance for my cat.

Fancy Feast is probably the "least worst" cat food you can find in a grocery store. I heard Hills isn't great.

Is it possible for medicine to cause congestive heart failure in a cat? We were giving ours an anti-bacterial medicine from the vet and suddenly he developed heart failure. The vet said it's in an advanced stage but then why was it never detected in the other checkups years prior?

What kind of dry food do you feed your cats? I feed my boy Hills’ Perfect Weight but after some research, I am trying to find the best one that is also inexpensive per pound. I have been looking at Cats for com as a resource on what to look for.

I feed my cat wet food from Tiki and Fancy Feast every other day, other wise he gets dry food for both meal time.

>>5016344
I had the prescription Hill’s wet food for my other cat before he passed and the cat refused to eat it. He greatly preferred Fancy Feast pate instead

>>5016640
I've heard the big costco bag of cat dry food is good. They dont have kitten food so I'll hold off for now

My Kot

>>5016787
he looks tired

>>5016798
He's 16-18 and has semi failing kidneys. Also it was a hot day so he was just hanging out after he was walking around outside a lot

While I'm at home, pretending to work, my cat is the single most tired resident

>>5016640
I feed my cat minimal amounts of dry food, like seriously an 8th of a cup a day, just as extra in case he's acting hungry even after having all his wet slop. Since I give him so little I just buy Tiki cat's stuff. A small bag is like $40 but it takes me over a month to go through it.

Dry food is basically unhealthy as a rule so it barely matter what brand you get as long as the cat enjoys it.

Just ordered a pack of 24 cans for my kitten, did I fuck up? 29.48 dollars

I finally figured out the exact position in front of my basement window to put a chair on so that my arthritic cat will actually use it to climb up and down to the window instead of jumping 5 feet and shattering his spine

>>5016327
Given his age, disorientation, poor digestion, and weak lower body, I'd say get a thorough check up - geriatric blood panel & check kidney and liver function, and that he really needs a clean, high protein diet change, though I know you say you don't have much wiggle room there. Not sure what you're feeding now.
No recommendations for the soft cone's material, any that fit and keep him from scratching so much until it hopefully clears up with the chlorhexidine.

>>5016853
Blood has been good, not sure if we did kidney and liver too but I'll bring it up. Thank you for the recs.

>>5016821
my nigger in christ, you paid 30 bucks for 2.5kg of THE worst cuts of chicken and fucking liver, likely at a 4 to 1 ratio of chicken tendons to liver.
meanwhile fucking chicken breast, no skin no nothing pure muscle most expensive part of a chicken, is like five - ten bucks in muttistan. beef liver is about eight for the higher grade.
if you want to feed it expensive good shit buy real meat and cut it finely so the kitten doesnt choke, and there is always chicken hearts stomachs livers whatever in the frozen aisle.

>>5015714

I started most of them pretty young, the few that did sandbag or were fussy about the harness grew out of it pretty quickly when they learned it meant fun outside time. You can put it on, carry them outside, bring them back in and take harness off, and repeat. You can lure them to walk to you in the harness with a favorite treat.

I adopted a 9 week old kitten about a month ago. I love the little fucker but he has a habit of biting and sometimes full on pouncing on my arms/legs, biting down hard. I don't use my hands to play and give him plenty of playtime and toys but he still does this shit. I know I should have either adopted two kittens or an older cat to avoid all this but the person I live with is retarded and refused to get anything o other than a single kitten three months old or younger. What can I do to train my kitten to stop biting/pouncing me?

>>5017639
yeah, probably. I guess what I really meant was fur pattern. My other cat has a distinct pattern, which is why I'm curious in the first place.

>>5017112
Bad. Pretty much all dry food is bad, as are the big name brands.
>>5017643
Sternly say ow and withdraw, walk away and ignore him for a bit. Re-engage with a toy. He will eventually grow out of it, it just takes time. He's just a little baby suddenly separated from his family and any others of his species.

VET ASAP. You cannot get medicine or help from internet strangers.

>>5017671
I think if anything you'd only be identifying his genetics, various black/white fur patterns aren't really classed as a breed necessarily

>>5017757
There is no definitive ranking of the smartest cat breeds. Still, there are about 20 breeds that are widely regarded as the most intelligent because they meet the previously mentioned criteria/benchmarks. If your cat isn’t on that list, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not smart, it simply means that they are not among the top 20. Among the top 20, certain breeds stand out, such as Abyssinians and Siamese.

Below them are Oriental Shorthairs, Balinese, Cornish Rex, Tonkinese, Turkish Vans, Burmese, Savannahs, and Bengals. Highly energetic, driven cats with a clear sense of purpose and alertness.

For the following category, we can put cats like the Maine Coon, Sphynx, Ocicat, Russian Blue, and Devon Rex. Smart, trainable cats that are affectionate and responsive but with a more relaxed energy compared to the upper tier.

Below the upper echelon (left vague since the topic is focused on the top breeds), we could place cats like the Chartreux, Korat, Egyptian Mau, Japanese Bobtail, and Turkish Angora.

Next: American Wirehair, LaPerm, and Pixiebob. Somewhat rare, intelligent in bursts, but often more independent or subtle in how they engage.

Then, Cymric, Kurilian Bobtail, Nebelung, Singapura, and Manx. Cats that may not stand out as cognitively exceptional but are clever and adaptive in quiet, understated ways.

Here are several breeds that are left over. They’re not dumb; they just aren’t at the top of feline intelligence: Exotic Shorthair, Himalayan, Selkirk Rex, and the Munchkin.

What's the best kind of rug to put around my sweet kitten's litterbox so it doesn't track those fucking littler pebbles around my house

You can get these plastic mats that are textured to rub the litter off their paws.

Alternative to a mat; change the litter to pellets. The wood ones are cheap. Scooping it is a little different from clumping litter, and few cats don't like stepping in it, but it doesn't track around the house.

Yeah, that's why I say a few cats don't like it - most of mine did fine, but I also had one who started to pee outside the box because she didn't want to step on the pellets. I didn't find it that hard to clean, just different. Still think it's worth trying.

3 days isn't really long enough to tell if it's anythign other than just being on edge due to new environment. with that said, one car will always be more dominant than another in a shared living environment, and it's not always the bigger/older one. some cats just don't want confrontation so they cuck to the little one. mine are like that. they get along for the most part, but the little one does annoy the older one about once or twice a day. bullying is only when one is doing something problematic like rough play when the other one doesn't like it. hissing here and there is just a cat telling the other one to fuck off, usually before it gets to that point, some cats listen and fuck off, some are hardheaded like mine. try feeding them separately though, or at least reinforce constantly to the stealing one that it can't do that. it's pretty common for cats to do that if you don't intervene.

could be gum/tooth irritation, ear, flea/mite, anything. if it's digging that bad it's vet time though.

I've always had cats that prefer dry food. they only eat a spoonful of wet a day and all they do is lick the gravy anyways. they all lived long lives. mostly purina pro plan.chicken & rice. the main issue with dry food is overfeeding. they will blow up quick on dry if you don't measure it out..back in the 90s, everyone fed their cat the cheapest kibble they could buy and most cats seemed to live to damn near 20 years old.

>>5016821
I've used that plenty of times. the dry version too. no issues.

Contrarian

If you feed your cat/furbaby poorina you do not care for their well being. Simple as.
Imagine trusting a label that was created and paid for by goyslop producers to trick edgy teens into buying their goyslop.

They killed my hummingbird. I don't care how cute they are, I'm killing them. The neighbors have been feeding these little freaks for years, and in the span of my living here they've gone from three cats to nine.

Imagine thinking Purina is poison but feeding your cat raw chicken from a factory farm like it’s artisanal. Most commercial cat food is formulated by actual veterinary nutritionists not some guy on Reddit with a dehydrator and vibes. You’re just buying into a different brand of marketing.

>>5018352
Sure, and the outrage still stands. I'm so angry at these things, and the worst part? When I try to chase them off my lawn, the momma cat stands her ground and hisses at me. I'm not going to get my arms slit up by some fucking cat, but it only makes me angrier.

if you call your cat your "furbaby" you should kys

>>5018354
Is the craprina furbaby father imagining things? The only one feeding factory produced goyslop is the poorina plebs!

Let's all trust the purina pro certified and sponsored purina pro veterinarians to make me feel good about the goyslop I feed my furbaby! Trust the soientists!

>>5018359
>edgy teen easily triggered by more caring furbaby father.

I will keep my sanity, thanks.

>anti-goyslooper who thinks slapping “not purina” on a label turns Tyson scraps into cuisine.
Keep trusting your vibes-based vet school of TikTok. Meanwhile, my “soientist”-approved cat is thriving while yours is one kidney stone away from a GoFundMe.

My cat literally eats plastic and hummingbirds

Similar to a 4chan janitor the purina shill does it for FREE. Kek

Keep posting, king. The vet bills are gonna be epic.

Purina shills on suicide watch!

Purina truthers on victory lap mode!

This destroys the purina shill

Cheap and low quality cat food will give your poor furbaby cancer. I'm really sorry.

>>5018384
>posting fridge rot pics like it’s evidence
Meanwhile, my cat probably jumps higher than yours.

>>5018385
You haven’t recommended a single food yet. Just cope. No brand, no formula, no nutrient breakdown.

I’m here slurping embryonic sludge in solidarity with my thriving furbaby who hasn’t coughed up a kidney crystal in his life.

>purina shill has illusions of grandeur.

It happens when you do it for free too long.

White cats can't jump

>>5018388
Yes. I am glad you admit that.

>marketing victim’s brainworm prognosis too advanced
>no proof, no recs

>purina shill thinks anyone not buying shitrina buys factory farmed chicken for their cat.

This is your mind on purina approved and certified cat food. Kek

>imagining your own argument
My cat eats WSAVA and is healthy /end

looks like someone frequents tiktok like a 15 year old girl and believed the purina hoax from a year ago or whatever. lmfao. I have been feeding my pets purina for years and never had any problems. meanwhile, I have family members who feed their dogs and cats expensive shit they see on tv commercials and boutique shit recommended by their vet who gets kickbacks, and their pets have an average lifespan of 5 years. who knows what's anecdotal or not... but I know cheapasses who feed their cat different brands every month, whatever is on sale. off the wall flavors taht shouldn't even be sold for cats, and their cat lives at least a decade. people need to learn what anecdotal evidence is. also, 70% of cats are overweight, so of course they are gonna die prematurely. mostly from kidney failure. they will still probably live 10 years. one of my cats was fat as fuck at 5 years old but he went on a diet and now he maintains a healthy weight, it's like he reverse aged in terms of energy.

>>5018408
all dogs and cats die from cancer or renal failure. your point?

Greentexters ain't even human.

New rule: if half of your posts are greentext, you lose human status.

Feeding your furbaby purina is animal abuse on the same level as TNR.

Sorry shills!

Clockwork and project harder

This is your brain on holistic cat food marketing

Clockworked and my point is proven! You have done a beautiful job tonight. I sincerely thank you.

Is that someone responding to every post I make or another cat getting cancer from purina? Strange...

It almost always is. Why can't nice things be posted instead.

>>5018476
I'm sorry I needed to speak the truth about catfood.

>>5018476
Schizos cant handle when people have different preferences

>>5018448
tnr isnt abuse though

>>5018476
vg, v, pol, gif, to a lesser degree ck and g - all these boards have dedicated schizos hellbent on farming (You)s and turning threads to shit.
and so long as the jannies are literal fucking discord trannies this is not going to ever change, especially when the shitmaggots collaborate with each other as is self-evident in most vg threads.
this is inevitable when the jannies are doing the needful behind closed doors unsupervised and are completely foreign to the board populace and culture.

Thoughts on buying one of those vacuum grooming kits?

>>5018602
how does your cat react once you turn on the vacuum? there is your answer.

>>5018054
I put the litter box inside of a wide cardboard lid, and that is on one of those big rubber mats with all the little rubber finger-things.
But yeah, you're going to get litter tracking.
Try using less litter in the tray as well. As long as you're cleaning it daily you don't need much more than an inch or so of clean litter. Less litter in the box, less to get kicked out.
I know with my cat, he likes to bury his turds 6 ft under, if there's too much litter in his box he'll just shovel it out to make his field latrine.

>>5018384
I forget the brand or "flavor" but I remember splurging for the fancy-shit wet food for him as a treat, and when I opened up the can I was a little pissed off because it looked and smelled better than the can of dinty moore I was going to have for dinner.
Another just had big chunks of mackerel in it.
Kind of resent whenever my cat ends up eating better than I do.

>>5019243
>Kind of resent whenever my cat ends up eating better than I do.
cope. fur babies end up with all the benefits and none of the obligations of human slaves. know your place and keep toiling for our food pissant.

How long can I leave wet food on a dish before it'll get my cat sick? How long after putting it out should I toss it?

you are all invited
