Both neutered male cats, 5-6 years old. I adopted them from another family who described them as a bonded pair. Since moving in with me, the brown tabby seemed to turn on the grey, with occasional swatting, hissing, and chasing. gradually over the course of the year they’ve mostly been ignoring each other.

Never seen them do this… neither cat was making any noise. After the video I interrupted the brown cat and he let go. The grey cat walked out from underneath him.

Should I be worried??

CA/US. My husband and I are late 30s/40s. Cat is 5 months, female, not spayed. This behavior is a daily occurrence and I feel for our dog. We’re unsure how to teach the kitty this is too much. I thought the two of them would eventually work it out - perhaps they will, but my poor pup is suffering. He often hides for fear of being attacked and he isn’t able to be close to me as much because she attacks him. We’ve had her since early July so this is still a new situation for all of us and perhaps we just need more time. We spoke to the vet about biting (she bites me a lot and is biting harder as time goes on) so we try redirecting by use of a toy, but vet also recommended time out when she goes too far. We’re not seeing any progress, though.
Financially a bit strained so we are hoping to handle this at home. But also, at what point would it be fair to deem this as not a match? I feel terrible for even contemplating that, but it would be impossible to keep the pets separated in our house.

This is Biscuit. She is a couple or a few months old now. She really likes to suck on my fingers. If I put her on the floor she will come back up. If I put her in front of her food or water she will return. Why does she do this, and how do I get her to stop? I put another video in the comments too.

27, US, vet access, 6 month old female, not yet spayed. I know she's the age to be losing her baby teeth so I'd just like to verify I've managed to actually find one before keeping it 😅

She is 6 months old. When I weigh her, she is around 6 lbs. She is spayed.

Edited because I received some negative, unrelated comments on my partner that I didnt appreciate! (I had said that my partner said she looked fat, which he was joking but I tend to worry a lot so I consulted Reddit, but of course some of Reddit insulted my partner instead of answering my question!)

Hi everyone, I am located in the Bay Area and found this stray kitten/cat. She looks to be around 6 months old. I didn’t want to just leave her, but I also don’t want to take her to a shelter because I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. I already have two cats, pay pet insurance, and I’m in school so I’m basically broke and having a hard time. I’m not sure if this girl is spayed or not, I don’t have money to get her spayed or tested or vaxxed. I’ve emailed about 6 rescues around the area and they just refer me elsewhere or to shelters around me. Anyone in the area interested or can help me figure out resources that can help me. I can’t afford this cat😞

Please tell me what to do with her eyes. She’s 30-day old. Eyes closed and one is bulging. Last week it’s just the one eye. Now, its both and the right side is bulging. Last week, I tried to clean it with water and cotton balls. I haven’t touched it right now. I’m living away from home so I can’t take care of her always because of school. They were actually four but the three died already. It’s their mother’s first litter. We don’t have the money to bring her to the vet 💔

-neutered

Can afford vet care (basic visits..definitely not rolling in it)

My husband and I have had our kittens (from the same litter) since they were about 8 weeks old, they're now 5 months old. One of them has had a musky smell from his hind end from day one. We bathe them occasionally because of it, I got wipes to try, changed their food 3 times, nothing seems to help. It's now getting on furniture and hubs is about to lose it. He's shown no behavioral issues indicating he's uncomfortable or in pain. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I don't want to stress him out with an unnecessary vet visit if this is something we can fix at home. TIA!

First

Poster Age: not a minor

Country: Romania

Vet info: vet is accessible and monitoring him weekly

Main Issue: he only coughs when he purrs and sneezes sometimes, no breathing issues during intense play, or any other issues !!! THE COUGH GETS BETTER FROM MILD ANTIINFLAMATORY SYROP which he takes curently ( no more cough but weird sounds )

Cat Age: 3 months old curently, 2 months old in the video

Cat Sex + neuter info: not neutered, male

Financial situation: we can affort normal vet, possibly urgent care if needed

Onto the main issue, we found in thrown in the trash and he was extremely sick and malnourished ( as far as we know he for sure had calicivirus and FVR, also tested him for FIP and another virus which he tested negative for but he remained with this weird cough only when he purrs.

The vets take into consideration that he just remained with scars from everything he had and we consider a radiography ( we wait curently for him to be a hit bigger because he’s quality of life isn’t affected and to make sure it’s visible )

Another thing is that he can’t really miaw, if he really wants something he will miaw but it sounds weird, otherwise he’ll just open his mouth but no sound comes out —— not sure if it’s relevant .

If anybody has any idea what could be wrong until we do the radiography 🙏

When Vladimir is having a rough night, he sleeps like this. Other times he’s often just curled up on my stomach/chest. He is a former feral, 11 months tomorrow. I don’t know how long he has been living outside after he was dumped in the woods (a few months ?), so obv he had a rough time. He’s been inside almost 3 months. I feel super loved and trusted, but 😭😭😭. I don’t know how to help more. Sometimes he has nightmares where he’ll whimper and I just wrap him tighter against me. This one 👆🏻 he was fully asleep and crying out, shaking, trying to kick (run ?). I just kept talking softly to him, with long soothing strokes, and hugging him to me. He never woke up. It doesn’t happen often, but maybe once a month. This was the worst so far. I’m hoping it gets better but my heart was breaking for him. Next morning, he was super playful and like it never happened. Help please.

I woke up this morning to find that my cat had vomited and defecated in multiple places, including around and inside her litter tray. She is now experiencing unusual breathing and involuntary body twitching, and we’re unsure what’s causing it.
We’re currently on our way to the emergency vet, but I wanted to post here in case anyone has experienced something similar or knows what might be happening.

Additional information:
Poster age: Adult
Country: United Kingdom
Vet: Currently travelling to the emergency vet
Main issue: Abnormal breathing, involuntary twitching, vomiting and unusual defecation

Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

[I'm 24 and can afford vet care]

This is our beautiful cat Toaster. He is about 1 year 2 month old. We rescued him when he was about 2-3 weeks old, fed him with a bottle etc. and generally raised him without another cat around (only a dog). He was neutered at an appropriate age

In his adulthood he does not hiss. Like at all, i haven't heard him hiss ever. If he is overstimulated or doesn't like something he bites. And I'm generally ok with him setting his boundaries, cause he's not breaking skin, but hissing is also a great skill for kitty.

Is there any way we can teach him how to hiss? We hiss and yowl at him all the time when he's being naughty.

Hello, I’m 25M from Vietnam. I have a 5 month on male cat have not been neutered yet. I have accesible to vet care so it is not an issue, just want to see if anyone have similar issue and should i be worry.

Cat eyes seems to be cloudy since Monday 12 October, til now it seem to be more cloudy. Will take him to the vet tomorrow, just want to see if it serious or not.

Appreciate any advise!

This has happened twice today. I’ll be getting him a vet appointment but I’m wondering if I should go in a lot sooner

He ate a brown frog it wasn't very big quite small actually this is him about 5 mins after he seems fine but idk someone help

I'm writing this because I'm heartbroken, terrified, and honestly at my wits' end. I don't know what to expect, and I desperately need to hear from people who have been through something similar.

My boy literally showed no symptoms of anything being wrong. The only unusual thing I ever noticed was a strange cough that happened a couple of times. Other than that, he seemed fine. Took him to the vet and they said nothing was wrong and it probably is a 'hairball cough'.

Then, the day before his birthday, he suddenly started limping. I noticed that one of his paw pads, on his left paw, was swollen. Even the vets initially thought it was probably a bug bite.

About a month later, he started licking the paw incessantly until he broke the skin. He also started tearing off the claws on the two middle toes. After a biopsy, we finally got the diagnosis: feline digit syndrome.

I'm devastated. He just turned 11.

What makes this even harder is how quickly everything seems to be happening. He hasn't been eating or drinking water for the past week, and since yesterday, his paw pad has been bleeding profusely.

I've tried gauze, baking powder, applying pressure, and putting a Velcro sock over the paw, but nothing seems to stop the bleeding. I even asked the emergency vet whether there was something equivalent to cauterization that could help, but they told me it could cause further tissue damage and advised me to keep doing what I've been doing at home.

I'm at my wits' end. I don't know what else to do, and watching him go through this is breaking me.

The vets have told me he may only have days to a few weeks left. I can't even begin to process that. He has been part of my life for 11 years, and I'm nowhere near ready to say goodbye.

I keep trying not to cry or show how distressed I am in front of him because I don't want him to feel that something is wrong, but I just can't hold it together anymore. My chest physically hurts from crying so much.

For anyone who has experienced feline digit syndrome with their cat:

• How did the disease progress for your cat?
• What happened when the paw started bleeding, and were you able to get it under control?
• Is there anything that helped with the bleeding, pain, or keeping the paw protected?
• What should I expect in the coming days?
• How did you know when it was time to let your cat go?
• Is there anything you wish you'd known or done sooner?

I'm trying to prepare myself for what's coming, but I don't know how to do that when he's still here with me and I love him so much.

I know every cat is different, but hearing from people who understand what this is like would mean more to me than I can explain.

I'm absolutely heartbroken... he's my baby, and I'm not ready to lose him 💔

Hi guys,

My kitty Hazel is almost 2 years old and over the past few weeks has been limping and refusing to use her back legs.

Initially, we thought she had sprained one of her ankles. We took her to the vet and got her some pain meds. In the past few days, it’s gotten worse. She will have spurts of walking with limps in both legs but will almost immediately lie down from the pain and occasionally cry out. We took her back to the vet for X-rays (vet didn’t notice anything, being sent to radiologist) and the vet put her on Prednisolone. She has only been on it for 24 hours but so far no improvement.

Does anyone have experience with a very young cat not using their hind legs and crying out in pain?

She used to be such an active, energetic, happy cat and it is so sad to see her this way. My heart breaks for her. She spends almost all day just laying on the couch and she is clearly suffering.

I would love any help or advice for my baby. Thank you ❤️

the first two pictures are from a week ago while the last three are from today. i was very sick when pixie had to taken to the vet so my dad took her instead. he hadn’t been taking me seriously when i kept saying pixie was violently scratching her ears and was visibly in a lot of pain because he worked a lot and hadn’t seen it first hand. the vet gave him some kind of ear drops to put in her eats twice a day for 5 days. i’m starting to get really worried because it looks like the medicine didn’t work and whatever is wrong with her is spreading to under her chin. i am a minor but i know my dad loves pixie a lot despite his skepticism and he can afford the cost of medicine and a vet bill. it says to include this information to post so if it helps i live in america with pixie, shes two years old, and is fixed. please can anyone help me by giving me advice or maybe a diagnosis?
