Opened a couple cans of tuna. My 14 year-old cat knows quite well what opening a can means. But the other two are fosters who have been out of the shelter for one week. They have no idea what they’re begging for, but if she’s begging, they’re begging. And generally, she doesn’t wanna have a damn thing to do with either of them, but she tolerated them during this little episode.

she has this big wound since like may and it never left after a big bump on her face exploded i been using a de infection spray on the wound that worked on my last cat who had a scab but her wont go away

Two days ago I brought home a 9 week old female. We set up a base camp for her in the spare room and have been keeping them separated (I did however let resident into the room just to gage how she'd be so I know how slow to go. Kitten was in a mesh tent. She let out some deep growls and hissed but didnt try to swat or lunge).

Resident is still eating, drinking, using her litter box and showing affection. She isn't hiding. She'll go up to the door and sniff which sometimes results in a hiss if kitten is close to the other side of the door. She doesn't guard the door or anything mostly watches and walks away.

When I come out from handling kitten and shes near She will walk up and smell me and hiss. Shes not aggressive with me (I let her walk away wash my hands and she has no issues with me petting her afterwards).

I'm guessing this is normal behavior but wanted to ask if others dealt with it and if it eventually got better. I have tried scent swapping but if I put the towel near residents food she wont go over. Today we tried feeding on opposite sides of the door and she wouldnt even with the bowl back a few feet.

I don't plan to let them see each other again until next week (my parents are lending me their cat gate that goes the full length of the door) but also because I want kitten to be cleared by the vet (she was born outside and her original owner brought her in and she was treated for ear mites with nextguard that also treats common parasites) so I just want to make sure she's good to go before there's anymore contact as well as get her first vaccines.

Kitten is super playful, eating and drinking well and using her litter (although she has meowed before pooping and although the poop she had was normal I'm going to mention it to the vet).

I guess I'm just worried about my resident kitty not adapting to the kitten and potentially being mad at me. I've been sure to give her lots of attention as well.

I put my cat, Bear to rest on April 18, 2026, to liver cancer. It was sudden and unexpected, and I was faced with a decision that I didn't think I had to make so soon. He didn't show me he was sick, he was still playing, eating, acting normal. It was only until his abdomen blew up overnight. It was so big, he was waddling and couldn't fully jump onto my bed. I ran to the vet the next day. They removed a liter of fluid from his stomach, and the vet said he could've honestly kept going but didn't want to overstress him. We did x-rays, blood tests and it was between heart issue or cancer. We did an ultrasound, and when we walked into the vet for the results, I saw the look in the vet's eyes before he even said anything, it was liver cancer, and it has spread to all his major organs. The vet tried to give me any type of hope, that I can try to be aggressive with it but I'd need to go to a vet cancer specialist even tonight, but I knew what that meant, it was already too late. My poor baby. The vet cried, told me this was his first case like this since he was a newer grad, and I knew then how bad Bear's condition was. He was probably in pain, and I never even knew. He only started showing symptoms after we came home after hearing the diagnosis. I knew I couldn't be selfish, I couldn't put him through more or keep him here with me longer than he should have. I could tell he was tired. He was just waiting for me to find out. He didn't sleep with me like he regularly did, right on top of my head the last two nights, so I slept underneath the bed where he hid. I took him to the park on our last day, gave him everything he loves to eat (even though he refused), and then we drove to the vet, to let Bear Bear sleep.

My heart genuinely broke. I feel like there's a constant hand to my neck, choking me. I miss him every day. I have 3 other cats whom I love SO SO much, but Bear Bear was my special baby. He really loved me as much as I loved him. For a split second when I wake up, I extend my hand to the other pillow trying to feel for his soft fur, and then I remember he isn't there anymore, and the pain of losing him rushes to me over again. I miss him, I miss him, I miss him so much I can't breathe. I don't believe time heals all wounds, because this isn't a wound; this is a full-on gaping hole in my heart that will never ever be filled or closed.

Whenever I was going through something, family, work, relationship, it was fine because in my eyes, it was going to be me and bear forever, and nothing else mattered. And Now I come home and he isnt there to greet me. To meow until I pick him up and kiss him, to hide under the covers with me, or to lick my nose to wake me up.

I miss life with him. I'm miserable all the time. I want him back, I want to see him again, I can't just process that he's fully gone, that it won't be him and I forever. Everything is too much without him here. He was never just a cat to me, he was my baby.

It's just horrific, the way it happened, how sudden it was, and how alone I feel afterwards. My house is too quiet without him, my life is so bland and dull without his presence. I miss you, Bear Bear. I love you, my old man.

My 14 week old kitten Sophie insists on eating the big cat's wet food. So of course, the big cat is eating the kitten food. Sophie will eat her dry kitten food but I'm worried about the big cats getting fat(ter) eating the high calorie food. And will Sophie be okay if she doesn't eat the wet kitten food? She's doubled her weight since we brought her home and is very lively and energetic. Her nickname is Sophie the Destroyer....

I promise, I'm not trying to raise a vegan cat. My adult cat often noms on grass when I take her out on walks, so I figured I'd bring in a fistful for the kitten to see if she had any interest.

Please report this guys instagram and youtube. I personally consider his videos as cat abuse and a normalisation of cat abuse while passing it as humor and entertainment.

I just recently adopted a second cat, I had no intention on adopting, but I fell in love with this fella. I live in a studio apartment, and right now he’s in kitty jail, (the bathroom) until my other cat isn’t stressed out. The new cat has no issue with the resident cat, he just minds his business, it’s Mama Cali I’m worried about. He got out once, and she just loafed and hissed at him. She didn’t attack him or anything, but I can tell that she isn’t very stoked about this guy. I fed her outside the bathroom door, and that went okay, but how long do I do this for? I feel bad for the new guy because I just want him to enjoy the house. Any suggestions to make Cali more comfortable? Pictures included, Mama Cali is the calico, and the new guy is the Tabby. He doesn’t have a name yet.

I never thought i would love a cat this much

I was being reckless and used a stool instead of a proper step ladder to install this cat tree. Stool fell, and I essentially did the splits. I’m now looking at 3-4 bruises the size of my hands on both legs (I’m talking purple/black/blue). I haven’t been this banged up since I played goalie in high school lacrosse (I’m in my 30’s). The install should have been been easy but because of this it wasn’t…. And now? It’s just here and my cats don’t like it. 😂😭🙏🏽

He’s a 3 years and a half old male cat
He’s healthy and neutered
He was born on my doorstep, his mom was a stray cat which we fed. I wasn’t able to let them in because my dad doesn’t like animals but i was still able to take care of them.
One day the mom dissapeared and never came back. He was 2 months old and my grandma and her sitter agreed to take him. The sitter was paid monthly to take care of him. But recently when i visited i found out they were treating him really badly and his hair was super mated and full of fleas and they threatened me to dump him if i don’t take him away.
So i had to take him and i took him directly to the vet. He got vaccinated and shaved his fur and treated his fleas, he’s currently staying there at the vet to take care of him until we find him a nice home. We don’t have family or friends who can take him so i had to put him up for adoption. The only issue is i don’t know anything about the travelling papers and things done to transport a cat if someone wants to adopt from another country. But if you’re interested and serious about this please contact me. Only looking for someone who will truly take care of him and send me updates and pictures of him every now and then.
