I love how autistic cats are. They will leave any soft blanket or expensive cat bed to rot, but god forbid there's a paper or any box in close proximity. They'll claim on it in 0.001 nanoseconds and just sit there proudly.

They should make cat crates that open and close from the top. Cats seem to be more comfortable with that?

Be careful with some of these. I know someone whose cat pushed its head through the top opening somehow and almost strangled itself during a car ride to the vet (the cat was uninjured). I think what happened is the person didn't close the zippers completely so the cat managed to push its paw through and then opened it enough so its head could fit.

He has been diagnosed with chronic kidney issues for a couple of years now. At first it was found out on a blood test, you have to check the “BUN” and “CRE” values. His BUN value stayed around 35 for a couple of years and we switched to Royal Canine Renal to protect his kidneys. But around the end of last year, he started to vomit a lot. Like, a lot. Yellow bile was coming out with lots of fluid. And this year his symptoms got even worse, he was throwing up about four times a week and losing a lot of fluid each time he vomit.

>>2114827
Thanks nonny. Actually our vet told us that the treatment for chronic pancreatitis can counteract with kidneys so all we can do at this stage is help him with IV fluids and medicine to help nausea and vomiting. Our last visit to the vet was pretty demoralizing. Our vet told us if he did an endoscopy to see if there is any other serious disease that’s not showing up on ultrasound it could kill him or harm him even more, and even if he did an endoscopy he will most likely not find out anything other than pancreatitis and kidney disease that already shows up in blood test and ultrasound. So we are taking him to the vet every other day for IV fluids to keep the fluid level up (helps his kidneys) and he gets steroids and anti vomiting meds. That’s all we can do.

I have chronic illness myself so I understand how he feels. My little baby.

Is my cat weird for not liking boxes too much? Once I set out a few big boxes for her to use, and she didn’t care for them at all. She only once sat in a cardboard crate for a little bit and that was it… Mine seems to prefer windowsills/ledges. She loves to balance on things…

My cat is such an angel I want to get another one, but I also know it's a shot in the dark whether they would like each other or not. and I don't know if I wanna deal with teaching another kitty to not claw on the furniture and to leave the plants alone.

We're getting a kitten/cat in 3 weeks, does anyone have any tips or tricks to getting them settled for the first time?

No. 2141568

>>2141549
if the kitten is really skittish, i'd recommend dedicating a room to have him/her acclimate in (larger bathroom, small guest room, etc) especially if you have other pets, for about a week or so. i'd also leave some dirty laundry in with the kitty so he/she can get used to your sent too!

some cats are entirely fine though, my son was young when we got him (and his sister) and they were running around having a blast the second they entered my apartment. i also have a pet rabbit, but he was bigger than them at the time so they're not afraid of him or see him as prey now that they're older.

sorry for the slight sperg, but congratulations on the kitty!!

i posted about finding a cat on my worksite a few weeks ago and we've finally got some news on it!
i contacted a local rescue and they put up traps around the site with cameras. they ended up seeing a cat on the camera taking the food but not going in the trap, which is good because this is a mom cat and she's currently lactating which means she has kittens somewhere around here. so they're monitoring her and waiting for her to bring her kittens out to the food so they can hopefully trap the kittens first and then the mom.
all my fingers are crossed!!!!!

I can't find anything on google about it, maybe i just don't know how to write it properly. When i pet my cat on the head and neck her ears shiver. It doesn't happen all the time but she had cluster of days when it does. What do you think it can be? I don't know if it hurts her because she's so polite and never gets angry when something hurts her.

My cat used to be a very silent purrer but he has gotten a bit louder since my roommate moved in for some reason. He is also sort of slowly starting to figure out the whole kneading thing, he used to only do it one or two times when we cuddled and then look confused at what he was doing kek he is turning 2 and finally realizing how to cat and not be a cuddly plush running on kibbles and love

I hope I can ask something about cats here. I recently introduced two cats to each other because I moved in with someone who has a cat and I brought mine.
>her cat
>male, two yo
>got fixed quite early and is like a baby
>very playful but not cuddly at all
>never lived together with another cat

>my cat
>female, 7 yo
>got fixed late and is very mature
>very cuddly and a bit playful but shy and reserved
>lived her life with quite a lot of cats

You see they are as different as can be. At first it was catastrophic, the male cat would follow her around all the time and she would scream and punch at him but he didn’t care at all. I separated them but after two days my cat didn’t want that at all anymore so only separate them if things get too heated. Now after two weeks it’s a lot better. They chill on the same sofa and give each other kisses even! Very cute. But he still doesn’t understand her social cues and annoys her quite a bit. Is there anything I can do. What should I do when he follow and chases her? Any idea? I’m sure she doesn’t suffer but sometimes it’s stressful.

>>2169704
Two weeks is still pretty early. It takes a cat about one to two months to fully adjust to new surroundings. What’s most important is that there is a safe place for your cat to go to when she is feeling overwhelmed and can’t be bothered by the other cat. This could be your room, a porch, sunroom, etc.

I thought cats only puffed up their tails when they got scared but I just learned they can do it when playing too. Mine was doing that just now, and I ended up looking it up because nothing I was doing could possibly be scaring her (I was using a toy she's had all her life, nothing was new). Now that I know she isn't bothered I can say it's very cute and i like smoothing her tail back to normal after.

I literally chase my cat down when he puffs (we call it his blushing tail because it gives away his strong emotions) to smooth his tail down because it’s so fun feeling to do. He lets me but I can tell he’s mildly annoyed and confused by it. But I can’t help it because it addicting. They need to make a fidget toy that feels just like smoothing down a puffed cat tail.

I've had a couple of rough nights with a lot of mental struggling, so my cat refuses to leave my side when I try to sleep. We usually do some cuddling when I go to bed but he usually either finds it a bit uncomfortable or too warm after a while and leave to either sleep somewhere else or at the foot of the bed, but now that I've been struggling he's stayed close entire nights. I even woke up in the middle of this night because he had crawled under my arm and fallen asleep with his belly up. He makes me feel so loved even when I feel the most alone

My little cat loves to be serenaded. If I sing to her she instantly calms down, starts purring, and eventually falls asleep. If I stop, she wakes up and does something else, but as long as I sing a lonnnngggggggggg made up song to her, she snoozin and kneading in her sleep. Does anyone else have a cat that loves to be sung to?

They also bury their waste on their own and you don’t have to worry about the weather when they’re going potty, have very specific body language to show you if they’re happy or upset or just teach you boundaries in general, are low maintenance, can’t physically kill you except maybe via bacteria which is eliminated when they get vaccinated as babies, have saliva that makes their fur smell like your house (which is great, if you do clean your house obviously), and they hug on you when you’re sleeping or sad. I love that they domesticated themselves, and somehow became one of the most easily cared for, yet one of the most loving companions you can have. I also love how they can be independent and you don’t want to worry too much if you leave them at home for long periods of time. I love them.
