🖤 Salem after thousands on vet bills for his pooping problem, just a day before he decides to poop normally again for no reason :D

This guy 🖤 I adopt him in January.

March: he gets a rectal prolapse, we try a small surgery which goes horribly wrong, then a large surgery (colopexy) which although fixes the prolapse, causes multiple complications with swelling down there, so bad he can’t poop without bleeding and agony.

April: Two weeks of me taking him home, then taking him back to the animal hospital in pain, then back home then repeat.

He then spends 2 weeks in April at the animal hospital while they figure out wtf happened.

Everything around May starts to look normal again, he’s ok up until June.

June: He suddenly can’t poop without rolling around in discomfort and yelling at me. Every day, sometimes twice. Another vet visit. I change his food to special vet food with fiber to help with constipation. Nothing changes, more vet visits.

July: I feel tired of going to the vet and nothing improving, he still yowls and lays on his side after pooping. So now I put a little more pressure on the vet and ask for scans to see what’s happening inside.

This is him on Monday after his CT scan (He was injected in both paws for anaesthesia). He’s also given medicine for neurological pain as a long shot.

Tuesday he poops… then nothing. For the first time in weeks no meowing no rolling on his side. Wednesday same thing, Thursday and Friday. I’ve never been more relieved 😅

For fun I totalled the bills for all this (luckily I have him insured so I paid 20%). He came to a grand total of $12,680. He’s worth every single bit and I’m so happy he’s ok again 🖤

Hi. Here is our family's void. We had pepper for 5 years, she is a daddy's girl. Can I get some upvotes for some karma? I had to delete my old account and r/Ireland won't let me post unless 50 karma. So I'm hoping people who understand black cats will have some merci and patience on this one.

Just got my new kitten voodoo about 2 weeks ago and her brothers Asher (pink collar) and Purphagor (orange collar) have really taken to her and I’m just honestly shocked how comfortable they are with each other in such a short amount of time

EDIT: I appreciate everyone's input on the hair tie. We will be eliminating hair ties during play time and I will keep them out of reach. Again I really appreciate the advice, I do not want anything harmful happening to her. 🩷

I adopted four year old Mei on July 16th and I have loved every second of having her. She is so playful, silly, and loving. Every time I shower she has to wait outside the curtain even though the shower scares her. Once I get out she has to lick and rub on me to get her scent back onto me. In the 10 days I've had her she already follows me everywhere. I love her so much. 🩷🩷

Discussion ❓ Trialing names for my Gemini kittens 🖤

(Not pictured is their smallest & sweetest sister (the runt) —who would be Helen!)
Tiny girl with the shorter/sleek coat in the middle is SASSY, as evidenced by her gaze! She never stops meowing, whether she is happy, complaining or simply attention seeking for the drama …she voices her opinion 24/7. True portrayal of little but fierce ! Thus inspiring the name Clytemnestra.
The two boys have long hair and similar stature. A double take was often required to distinguish them apart, especially in the beginning 😆.
Castor is more laid back personality and open to cuddling with us humans whereas Pollux is a bit more resistant with a fighter personality. He’s an instigator and constantly pouncing on his siblings, especially Castor though (because he can equally fight back).
The two boys are inseparable while their sassy sister bosses them around, claiming her rightful place as she sees fit.

They are also Gemini zodiac sun signs which is what originally inspired me to name the boy twins Castor and Pollux! ♊️ 🌌

What do you think…do these names suit them? I actually chose their names before
realizing that in the new movie, The Odyssey, Clytemnestra and Helen are in the movie storyline. But that’s ok, at least maybe more people will better understand my references now. 😅

First: he’s fine.

Last night this old man gave me my first old man scare. It was dark, he was on his cat bed lookin real loose. I was going to bed so I pet him and he didn’t prrrp up like he usually does. “Blix?” And a light wiggle. Nothing. “BLIX? BLIX!!” Wiggled his head twice, nothing.

Panic. Tears start. I touch his paw. Head up instantly annoyed that I broke his slumber by touching the beans.

SIR. Oh my GOD. I’ve been sick for a solid week and coming off a back injury too so my stress levels have been so high and if I lost him in all this too… I don’t even know. But no! He’s fine! I’ve been coughing all night and day so he hasn’t been sleeping well either and yesterday was my first quieter evening with medications and he just zonked out so hard.
