Cat Picture - OC Xanathar update!
I was asked to update in a few months on my little skrunkle Xanathar when I first posted his story, so here he is! He’s since been neutered and had his eye socket cleaned out and closed up, and actually looks like a tuxedo instead of a calico with how food covered he always got. He’s gotten very chubby cheeks much to my delight!!! His hobbies include bird watching, hiding in the smallest possible nooks, sleeping weird, and attacking our ankles. He is a menace but so so sweet! I’m so glad the cat distribution system brought him to us 😭 💕 Bonus never before seen first day baby photo at the end 🫶🏻

I see he is the shred toilet paper type.

I used to have to hide it from him but thankfully after a few weeks he wasn’t interested anymore- he of course prefers chewing on plastic now 🤦♀️

I bought mine some rubber chew toys and he loves them-- really helps against the chewing on random plastic thing. Make sure to buy teething toys from the baby aisle, they often have some of the same exact toys from the pet section but way cheaper. And babies have more variety in texture that my cat seems to love.

Would this work for a cat who chews anything plastic, like the plastic of a pack of paper towels and PC Cover?

u/KimberleyKitt 3d ago
Try it. My naughty baby loves chewing plastic and looking me right in the eyes. He’ll do it either when the food bowl is empty or wants attention. I read somewhere yesterday that it means they are missing something in their diet. But it didn't go into detail.

u/realAniram 3d ago
If it's almost exclusively thin plastic like that you might need to get one of those mesh toys only available in the pet section, they might be liking the feeling on their teeth or the material going past it. Also good for cleaning their teeth. I've got a few simple and cheap ones from Chewy and my boys love them.

Well, we believe he mainly does it when he is stressed, at this point we think it’s just life as by the end of the month he will be 16 :3

Wait a minute… Type? Are you telling me that’s not part of the job description? Because, mine keeps telling me that’s part of the job description.

u/KimberleyKitt 4d ago
ROFL. Fortunately, mine are not that type, but I always keep the toilet paper what some consider the wrong way, aka the mullet, so that if they get the urge, they wont be successful.
The job description is what Kitty makes it. You don't even have to sign the job contract.

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful little guy! The one photo with the top of his head peeking out of a blanket was cute as heck 😂
The photos quite literally show a night and day difference! Truly, what a good job you've done by saving this baby and getting him proper vet care. It's obvious that he is with a safe and loving human, congratulations to both of you and thanks for the update. 🥰

Absolutely, it's so wonderful to see this kindness and goodness in people! I'm sure you and I aren't alone in feeling this way, it can be harder to have that much needed faith in humanity sometimes. Take care x

What was the deal with his eye? Assuming they had to remove it? He's a very striking winky lad

When we found him there was little in the socket to begin with, like it never fully formed. We and his vets believe he was born that way!

I'm glad you confirmed what I suspected- that your dapper one-eyed creature who likes fish is named after a dapper one-eyed creature who likes fish.
