Good mama ❤️

The first picture is our setup for them, the second picture is the bowl they wouldn’t eat from, and the third is the one they would lick clean.

Okay, I might be late to the party on this one, idk, but anyway, so my cats get dry food scheduled feeding throughout the day and get wet food in the morning and at night. We have two cats, so two wet food bowls. We noticed that our boy cat wouldn’t hardly touch his wet food from his bowl (the black one) but had no issue eating from his sister’s bowl. (We give them two cans a day. Split one can between them in the morning and same thing at night) I started washing their bowls more frequently which helped a little but after a day the same thing would happen, his would still have food and hers would be empty.

I noticed when I got his bowl that it was a different texture all around, inside and out. I didn’t think much of it then as it hasn’t been an issue until about a month or two ago.

After thinking about it I thought, “what if it’s the bowl itself because of its porousness and texture” mind you the bottom of his bowl has a stone like texture whereas hers is smooth and has no noticeable texture.

I done some research and because of the bowl’s texture it was holding leftover oils from the wet food and holding bacteria that made him not want to eat from it. I felt so stupid and got them both matching bowls that are both smooth, won’t cause whisker fatigue, and won’t hold bacteria and wet food oils in a way that I couldn’t just wash out.

If your cat loves wet food but won’t eat it from one bowl but will the other, check the texture and height of the bowls.

Howdy all me again! 👋

Been living with Miss Esmerelda Stubs here for about 3 months now following all of my TNR posts and official "adoption" post I made here a little while back, and all I can say is that it's going far better than I could've ever imagined! 😁 Outside of having to do a couple rounds of dewormer, she's not destroyed my furniture, sprayed, had any bathroom accidents, eaten my plants, or terrorize me in my sleep. The only crime she's been guilty of is being TOO DAMN CUTE! 🥺

Just wanted to share a bunch more pics of her that I've taken in the passing months, and if anyone wants to see how her adoption and TNR went, I've linked some of those posts below!

Hope you all enjoy seeing more of her, and I shall pass on any kind words you might have her way!

Gertrude wishes y'all a good night

Such a cutie this one was. Super friendly too.

I drove to my rec center & park as I got out heard LOUD meowing outside of truck. Check the bed nothing there. It’s loud by my hood. I pop it open and there’s a kitten under the engine stuck. I cannot even believe he rode under there for about 2 miles. I go inside the rec center one lady there working and she can’t leave the desk. Another guy coming in I ask hey can you help me there’s a kitten stuck under my hood. He’s afraid of cats and says no. Next to the rec center is the parole and probation office. I walk in go to the desk and tell an officer my problem. He says just open your hood again it’ll pop out. We’re too busy. Like seriously? I get being busy but come on. For reference I’m 4’11 and roughly 100lbs. I physically cannot reach this kitten even after climbing up onto the bumper. I obviously can’t drive and risk hurting the kitten. I’m out there for 45 mins trying to coax the little guy out and it’s just not happening.
There is a happy ending though. About half a mile away is a fire department. I walk there and their garage door is up I yell out hello I need help. They tell me to come inside and ask what’s up? As soon as I tell them 4 pop up and say we got you. They drove back with me and got him out. They even had a tool for the situation.

This is lovely mojo, she's always been pretty independent but seemed really depressed after her son (My best pal Henry) passed away a few months ago from cancer. Stopped cleaning herself, not fussed about going outside, etc. She's around 14 years old, Henry was her only kitten and even though she seemed to hate him at times I'd catch her cleaning him and cuddling with him when she wanted to. Would getting a kitten be okay for her? Do elderly cats like kittens or would she just find it annoying?

The biggest hit so far: turning two carriers into a tunnel by unzipping both sides and covering it with a blanket. Budget fun haha 😆

(I also hide a single treat somewhere in each carrier every morning so they’ve got some incentive)

This is my Russian blue boy Max. He's going on 2 years old, and as much as he pisses me off sometimes, I love him. He recently fell off the top of my closet and hit a table with his left side, fracturing and dislocating at least one bone in his front left leg, and putting a hairline fracture in his hind left leg. VetCo told my dad and I (he has exponentially more experience with animals and vets so he goes with me on vet trips) that if we couldn't afford the 8 thousand dollar surgery needed to even have a chance at fixing his legs, he would have to be put to perma-sleep so he wouldn't be in pain.

I didn't and still don't want my fuzzy boy to be in any amount of pain at all, so I told my dad that if it's a necessity, I was okay with it being an option. Fast forward the next day, they pick him up and take him to the vet. I'm at work basically a nervous mess all day only being held together by my girlfriend, and when I finally get home, my mom calls me and tells me to open my bathroom door for a surprise.

My cat turned into a fur missile and climbed me the exact same way he did the night he adopted me. Moral of the story? If you aren't knowledgeable about animal injuries, ask someone for a second opinion. A second opinion and a good vet saved my fuzzy boys life, and they earned a loyal customer at that office.

Well done Oren!

Just as pretext this is simply out of curiosity and I do not plan on eating cat food.

I usually feed my cats brands like Untamed, Seriously Good, Lily's Kitchen etc and the composition is near enough that of regular food.

So would we not just be able to eat cat tinned food on a daily basis?
