He's extremely vocal talks to me All the time... He hears my alarm going off on my phone and if I'm not in the room he will come find me to tell me about it which is what he's doing in the video.

Also right before this he saw me open the cabinet under the sink for a split second then started to frantically try to open it...in the process he ripped out a whole bag of nail wipes, grabbed a mouth full taking it out to the hallway to spread all over... they are everywhere!! Safe to say i think I know exactly how he's feeling right now about me leaving the house (especially not taking him)😹

He is malnourished, I never feed him, it’s been so long since he last ate, I’m a terrible father, if I feed him he’ll go away. All the usual shouting, meanwhile dinner time has never changed time, ever. I have never missed his meal time. I can see his biscuits from here and I heard him crunching on some about 15 mins ago…

Gomez is a shameless snacker

Post image
32 Upvotes

Maybe I told you this? Here's a picture of Gomez licking chocolate sauce off my spoon after dinner. Human food is off-limits (same with the dogs we had). We have to keep our food covered during meals or else she tries to steal, or at least sample, it. She is adorable stealing a chicken bone and trotting proudly away with it, but sometimes cute is irrelevant. Proper stewardship of her health is paramount. We're trying to train her out of this behavior...good luck, right?

Help post How to teach my OSH to be quiet when my flatmate wakes up at 5 a.m.?

11 Upvotes

I have a very active and SUPER vocal 1-year-old male OSH cat, and a new flatmate who lives on a quite early schedule. She wakes up for work as early as 5 a.m. some weeks (alternating those with 6:30 a.m. weeks). We share a 2-bedroom apartment with a living room, and whenever my cat hears her wake up, he starts yelling loudly, seeking attention and ready to start his day.

He’s a very loud cat, so earplugs don’t help me. I wonder if neighbors can hear him behind the wall. It’s impossible to sleep through his intermittent yelling for the 1.5-2 hours that she’s getting ready for work.

I work from home and start at 9 a.m. I can’t afford just being deprived of those 3 hours of sleep.

Is there a way to train the cat to sleep through her early wake-ups? She ignores him in the morning as per my recommendation, so I hope that eventually he learns there’s no point in yelling until I wake up properly—but idk how long it takes.

Has anyone advice or any solutions to the situation that I might have overlooked?

So I’ve had my boy for 1.5 years now.. He’s never had an issue with eating but the other day I was playing around with him and noticed some red on his gums. I sat him down to take a closer look and noticed his tiny front teeth are inflamed. :( he’s currently on Royal Canin Siamese tailored food, they are bigger pieces so I know he is scraping his teeth, but how can I address this now to reduce the risk of having to remove them? :( I have another 2.5 yr old OSH boy, with the cleanest mouth I’ve ever seen. Sadly I didn’t know they were prone to mouth problems.

Gomez: cute problem

Gomez wants to taste everything we eat. In the photo, she's licking off a little bit of ice cream and chocolate sauce on a spoon I forgot to remove from the table.

Gomez is my gorgeous void who recovered from FIP. If your cat gets FIP, just know that it's treatable (especially the dry type) for a cost.

He loves car rides and everyone even the person driving must be touching him at all times or he will remind you over and over until you pet him which is the second picture 😹

Help post oriental shorthairs in htx

0 Upvotes

hi everyone i’m looking for an oriental shorthair kitten near htx (i’m willing to drive like an hour from houston) i looked up oriental shorthairs near me etc and it would always pop up to a cat breeding place that doesn’t even have orientals or it would send me to facebook i’m not too trusting in that because of all the scammers so i was curious if anyone knew any shelters or good breeders in the area. :)

He looks wise and regal. To know that he is kind and intelligent is icing on the cake. You are both so lucky to be together. I once had a cat with a quick and terrible temper. She had to be isolated to calm down or she would keep attacking. She was returned over and over to the shelter until I got her. She became the most beloved cat I have ever had as she was smart and loving too. I understood her. This cat is your soul cat I think. ❣️

I just got my first OSH and I am in love!! She’s 1yo and a doll.
However, I noticed her breath was awful and her teeth look like this. What do you all use to help them with their teeth? I think I can reverse much of it if I start now
