Juno bit the vet tech today during her yearly appointment today as the vet was trying to administer her rabies vaccine. It was so quick I didn't even see it happen. I feel bad but I don't know what I could have done to prevent it. Afterwards, someone came and told me they were reporting Juno...

I adopted Juno during the first year of Covid. I was in a new job and maybe "misunderestimated" how much I would eventually have to travel when (three years later) things got back to normal. I'm now in a phase where I have to travel two to four times a month. If it's just for a quick overnight...

Based on what I've read about other people's cats, I kinda feel like my cat Juno is not "classically" very intelligent but I'm curious about how common or uncommon the following response is: We play Find the Treat where I hold treats in my fists and she has to touch which fist she wants me to...

Does anyone else have a kitty adopted during covid that is seemingly more shy than she otherwise would be? I adopted Juno at 4/5 months during the pre-vaccine days, when I hardly had anyone over. When she met me, she seemed very bold and not shy at all by temperament, but her whole kittenhood...

Everything I read says cats tend to view direct eye contact as threatening, and that if you're going to make eye contact, do the show blinking thing. But Juno will look straight into my eyes, without blinking, for extended periods of time while purring and cuddling in my lap or on my chest. It...

https://www.popville.com/2023/04/carjacking-capitol-hill-cat/ This is my literal nightmare. Every time I take Juno in the car, I play out in my mind what I would do if I got jacked. I sure hope they find Milly. I just can't imagine how devastating this must be. I came home and gave Juno a big...

I thought I would turn this exercise around. If Juno had to answer this question, I think she would say: I like that my human sleeps with one leg bent like a flamingo. It creates this little triangle that is the perfect size to snuggle into for a nap!

Full disclosure: despite the title, I'm the one looking for empathy in this thread. Juno is my first cat, and I'm a little bummed that she's not so great at showing empathy when I'm at my lowest. Had a very bad day today, very visible to her, and it's just nothing. Nothing different. She just...

So I know about the primordial pouch and my cat seems to have a pronounced one. But I've always seen it described as relating to the stomach, particularly near the hind legs. But Juno has a lot of extra skin even up at her front legs. It's enough that it almost looks a bit like webbing. Is...

I know this is a common question but I'm still hoping for some advice on what to do with Juno for an upcoming 2 week trip. The longest I've been away before is less than a week, and I've taken Juno to my mom's house. But now my mom is traveling with me. I don't have anyone who can take her, or...

I think Juno just ate some dried grass while out on my deck (she usually just chews on it without eating it), and it seems like she got some stuck in her throat. She's gagging and wretching, like she's trying to expel something, but only saliva comes out (so different than vomiting from grass)...

I will start out by saying that I know my gray/blue kitty is a DSH. She was born feral, so there's no realistic chance of breed, and in any event, she lacks "smile" and emerald eyes of a Russian blue. But she certainly looks to me like she has silver tipped fur. Where her fur is shorter (around...

Does anyone brush their cat's teeth once a week or less? Does it seem to help? All the internet recommendations are to do it three times a week at least (if you're gonna do it), and for various reasons, I don't think that's for us. (I've tried before, when Juno was a kitten, even working up to...

I've always hated it when a giant house fly gets indoors and buzzes around everywhere... until tonight. I was playing laser with Juno and suddenly the red dot lost all interest. It took me a beat to realize she had found REAL prey to chase. Man, watching her chase that fly all over the house...

Let me start by saying that I know it's pretty normal/common for cats to be afraid of fireworks (though not so much as dogs), but I've never had a cat before, so I don't know precisely how much fear is normal and whether it's a good idea to try to get my kitty used to it. This Fourth of July...

This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone here have Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds or other gauze chiffon venetian blinds (pic below)? I installed some before I adopted my kitty and I've got the sense that kitty could ruin them with a single misplaced claw, but I'm curious if anyone else has...

Until now, I've been able to take Juno to my mom's house when I've had to leave town for work. But in a few weeks, I need to be out of town when my mom is also away. I'll be gone Tuesday afternoon to Saturday evening. My mother can visit Friday and Saturday morning only. So I found a cat...

I adopted Juno as a kitten during the first year of Covid, so it was just she and I for more than a year. Since then, I've taken her to my mother's house about 9 times in the last year, including various holidays when I'm there with her. She seems mostly comfortable there now and she likes my...

I've got two back-to-back international work trips coming up, separated by about four days. My mother, who lives nearby, is going to watch Juno at her house (I can't ask her to stay at my house for a host of reasons). She's watched Juno several times before and Juno has gotten more and more...

I live in a condo in an urban area, and I have a 4th floor deck with a little suction cupped bird feeder, right on the other side of where my kitty has her perch. In days gone by, the birds would come and provide Juno with entertainment. But I took the feeder down last spring when there was an...
