    Potentially dumb question

    I was thinking the same thing but you know how it is when one of our babies is older/more fragile...you wanna bubble wrap them lol. Though I am a little salty that she's admitted to refusing care for him; even the $80 medicine that would make his paws feel better. I know I am struggling right...

    Potentially dumb question

    Can a cat who potentially has feline HIV live with other cats? My moms cat, whom we've had for a few years and rescued from the streets has a condition called "Pillow foot" and the vet said it's a sign of HIV. But, since the two cats (mine and hers) live together no issue, I figured it was fine...

    Just an observation and worry

    Always! Now I probably would never be able to afford it without a go-fund-me type thing because flat broke and this vet is a money-loving jerk most the time. (I swear he throws a dart at numbers and whatever it lands on is what he asks for.) But of course, if it came down to her needing it, I'd...

    Just an observation and worry

    Touch her paws and you will lose an eye. (Touch her in most cases and you will lose something. She's a love-bug but only when she comes to you.) I cant explain it, of course. He has all his toe beans fully formed but those claws just aren't there. Funny; we don't pay attention to cats' teeth...

    Just an observation and worry

    My moms cat (the one she's STILL threatening to get declawed for kneading) is missing most his back claws. He's got all his beans but not the claws. The vet says it's possible they were torn out in a fight since he was a street cat or, it just wasn't born with them. But given he has foot issues...

    How long do they live? Does breed matter?

    That cat is beautiful! Yeah that sounds like my girl; apparently indestructible. Easier said than done; she's even slipped her *whole body* from the shoulders down through a collar on her neck because she couldn't get it off over her head. So we've decided none of our cats wear collars cause...

    How long do they live? Does breed matter?

    Oh gods the one thing I'd never do is keep a cat indoors. (Especially mine since she's a nightmare 95% of the time. Maybe if it was from birth and the cat didn't meow or claw at things it would work...) Do you have a good harness idea? I've tried ones made for rodents; tightened them so tight it...

    How long do they live? Does breed matter?

    No other vets at all. (Unless I was to pay to surrender her to the SPCA and deal with them shaming me on FB for abandoning her. You know I reached out to them when I was 18 and explained that I was in a not-ideal place and that no people shelters would let me keep her and rather than help me...

    How long do they live? Does breed matter?

    The vet is charging us a few grand for basic tests. We didn't take her when she was poisoned because we didn't have the 5-8 grand he wanted and she went down-hill so fast that we honestly just made her comfy and expected her to die overnight. Nope; she worked her remaining half tail* off and got...

    How long do they live? Does breed matter?

    I don't know where this belongs but life-span is tied to health, right? But seriously. I KNOW I mentioned a semi-feral senior who was PTS almost 2 years ago at age of 16 (I think. He was old as dirt.) But that's not a common thing here. So how long are they supposed to live? My annoying but...

    Do your cats cling to you too or is mine just super attached?

    It's like "DON'T TOUCH ME!" "But you're sitting on my head!?" I could eat her omg she's so freaking precious.

    Do your cats cling to you too or is mine just super attached?

    No complaints this time. Honestly I love being her human and favorite. Today my brothers GF went home and when her mom picked her up, she of course had brought the GFs younger siblings with her. They love and rescue many animals; especially cats. They had my moms cat on cloud 9 with attention...

    How to stop a cat from kneading?

    I've been through 3 and none of them helped.

    How to stop a cat from kneading?

    Teenager? Dude I'm 25. Life's just not on my side about things right now. I've been looking for work since 19 and nobody will hire me because they can't take advantage of me like they do my now 19YO brother and cannot afford to go back to school. Back to the cat... He usually doesn't knead me...
