Quite possible. Maybe a vet could provide some insight, eventually. Thank you for the feedback :)

That is true! Another reason why it's hard to know what breed she is!

Thank you for your reply and explanation :) From memory, I think her color is mostly black when longer, but I can't be certain. I'll have to ask my grandmother for more information. Here's an older picture with her fur slightly longer than it is now. Plus she was younger at the time, about 6...

Hello! Just an update first: I posted a few years back about the premature passing of my cat. In today's news, I've been watching my grandmother's cat due to undisclosed circumstances (there's a chance that I might even keep the cat due to grandmother's old age, but that's not certain). This...

I think owning a ferret is illegal in my state :flail: But I'm not sure. It is something to think about, however

I tried volunteering several years back, but it didn't really work out for me. Maybe one day, I'll try it again. The post is pretty insightful. I think my problem is that I try to keep my grief at bay by pretending as if I'm over it, but when grief comes, its hit is almost drastic; and I am not...

Not sure if this is in the right section, but here goes. I made a post last September about my cat's passing, and despite it being over a year later, I still can't seem to move on and get over her passing. To add more to the problem, I've been unbearably longing to get a kitten, but can't due...

What a lovely story :3 I can't say that I had any "familiar" stories. Ones closest I can get is when a few times my pets got sick and I kept hearing in my head, "Their time is almost up. They won't be here any longer". And sure enough... I think that's a parental pet instinct, and I think many...

A few times I had dreams about one of my other cats that passed on almost a decade ago, even years after his death. In those dreams, although I was there playing with him, being happy, there was the feeling of longing of wanting to be with him one more time overall. Rarely, but I still get...

So I've been watching videos by a popular Japanese youtube channel, and they provide very useful information about cat products and food. The video (included below) mentions that even cats in Japan live longer than cats in America. I can assume cats in Japan can live longer than 18, even 20...

Yeah, my mother's cat, female, who is such a sweetie. She doesn't mind other animals, so I'm sure she'll be fine once I get a new kitten. I remember when we got my mother's cat, my cat did not like her, but she at least tolerated her. For a while, my mom's cat really wanted to be friends with my...

Of course! It won't be for maybe a couple more months, but I'd be glad to

Exactly :)

Probably, haha. My mother both had male and female cats who sprayed, but more male cats sprayed more than female cats. One female cat my mom had only sprayed when stressed out. For my cat, she never really sprayed, but she did crap and urinated on beds when she felt stressed or threatened...

Indeed. Anyway, thanks for all of your responses! We shall see what will happen once I get another kitten in the future. Already got potential names chosen and everything

My mom loves cats, but prefers female cats. She just had a lot of bad luck with male cats, and even one of her female cats sprayed as well. Anyway, would it be wise to ask a caretaker if a kitten has had a history of spraying, or is kitten age just too soon to tell?

Interesting responses. I have told my mother that both male and female cats spray, and that chances of spraying decrease if cats are fixed before 4 months, but that was dismissed, because my mom claimed that some cats are just territorial, regardless if they were fixed before 4 months, and the...

So I want to get a kitten. From experience, I found male cats easier to take care of than female cats, but my mother doesn't like male cats, because, from her experience, they sprayed all the time. I don't think my mom wants me to get a male cat, to be honest, even though I told her that chances...

It's honestly going to be months till I can get a new furry companion, since my cat died, but I've been pondering if I should get a male kitten instead of a female kitten this time. I had male cats before, and they all were fantastic cats, but my family overall dislikes male cats (and male...

After growing up with pets and seeing my family spend thousands of dollars on them due to chronic health problems, is pet insurance worth getting at all? I wanted to get insurance for my cat before she passed on, but I couldn't, because she already had a pre-existing illness. And my experience...
