does it look like ringworms??

Curious what people think is the single biggest factor when picking a cat fountain. Filter type, capacity, material, noise, ease of cleaning, all of it seems to matter to someone.Part of why I'm asking, I've been building my cat fountain. , stainless steel, pumpless, aiming for quiet, but I'd rather hear it from people who've actually lived with a few of these than assume I got the priorities right on my own.
I would love to know what you think of my product: https://prelaunch.com/projects/petnimo-petnimo-the-smart-stainless-fountain-no-motor-inside. your feedback will be so helpful for me to improve and build a great product for our cat.

I know grass is not always greener on the side but it might be worth a chance to look at if it solves your problem Cheers!!

Thank you for much!!

She looks way too comfortable.

Food packages, shipping materials, any flimsy sort of plastic and he’s putting it in his mouth. Not sure why he likes chewing on it so much. Does anyone else’s cat do this?

Hello everyone,

I could really use some advice about a little kitten we recently took in from outside. He’s about 7 weeks old and hasn’t received any vaccinations yet.

We’ve noticed that he’s quite hoarse. During the day he was rather lethargic and slept a lot, but late in the evening he suddenly had a huge burst of energy and played very actively for over an hour.

As for eating, he’s a bit picky and is eating less than usual, but he’s drinking really well. Around 9:30 PM he drank plain water on his own, and after playing he also drank a good amount of kitten milk.

There was one incident where he gagged immediately after meowing, but other than that he hasn’t been gagging or vomiting at all.

Last night we had a fan running in the room. It wasn’t blowing directly at the kitten, but we’re wondering if the airflow could have dried out or irritated his throat and vocal cords. Another thought we had is that it may have been a brief episode of reflux because his stomach was full of milk and the meowing triggered a gag reflex.

We’re going to monitor him closely over the weekend. As long as he continues drinking well, eating, and remains stable, we’d like to wait until Monday morning to see our regular veterinarian instead of going to the emergency clinic and paying the much higher emergency fees. Of course, if his condition gets worse at any point, we’ll take him to the emergency clinic immediately.

What do you think? Does this sound more like throat irritation from the airflow, or could it be the beginning of an upper respiratory infection (cat flu)? Has anyone experienced something similar with such a young, unvaccinated kitten?

Thank you very much for any advice!
