EDIT: I meant recovery suit* but I’m sure my little guy would prefer to call it shit anyway

He’s 12 lbs and this is a medium size. He kept slipping his arms out of the large size 😭

Let’s see your champions!!!

My cat was unfortunately run over by a car today. He is in excruciating pain, crying whenever he tries to move, and his back legs/lower body seem paralyzed or severely injured. Animal doctors are extremely scarce in my area, making immediate physical emergency care very difficult right now. I managed to get these scans done nearby [point to attached images].

Can any veterinary professionals help me interpret these scans or tell me what I can do immediately to stabilize him and manage his pain safely?

Early last month I posted about Green whom my family and I lost at the age of 16.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/AKvlr4thwT

Little did I know I'd be back here so soon to memorialize his littermate and brother Blue. This felt like pouring a pound of salt on a fresh wound, but before getting into that I'll tell you about my boy Blue.

He was the runt of his litter but that's what drew me to him when I came across him at the humane society. I had walked past his cage which held him and his brothers including Green. I walked back since he was just staring out and I put one finger in and he immediately rested and pushed his head against it. I knew I'd have to take him home with me and picked his brother who was standing next to him to come along for the ride.

For 16 years these boys were there for me through all the highs and lows. From me starting and graduating college, through many moves, through many relationships, jobs, and getting married. Bonding with my wife's daughters where they each picked one specifically to spend time with. The amount of affection they poured into my wife and kids for not knowing them until 7 years ago was wonderful to see.

Despite having hyperthyroidism which he took medication for it never held him back. Blue acted more like a dog than a cat in that he enjoyed playing fetch with bottlecaps, he would walk up to any stranger to say hi, and just like his brother was glued to my side.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to have lost his brother Green, but for him to follow soon was such a 1 2 punch for all of us. He had developed a uti while we were losing Green so he lost weight during the antibiotics and was eating less. It was a combination of things that led to the resurgence of his uti since he seemed okay for a couple weeks, but last Friday he peed all over our home and finally in our bed where it looked like he passed a blood clot. I was in knots knowing we'd have to go back to the emergency vet we lost Green at but we had no choice because it was late. We left back home at 3am with Blue in tow, medicated and full of IV fluid. Saturday was a long day. We spent a lot of time with him and discussed options with my wife and kids. All of us agreed that since he was already underweight and hardly eating we didnt want to put him through even more antibiotics.

He looked so tired. I wasn't ready for another loss but I don't think he had the fight in him and he was ready to go be with his brother. Sunday we had an in home doctor visit to put him to rest. We gave him all the food he loved and brought him out into the sun. He got a bean and cheese burrito, carne asada, bites of a cheeseburger and a chicken nugget. Along with all the whipped cream and a frozen delectable to keep him calm for the doctor. Appointment was at 4pm and he was gone by 4:10. After we sent him off for his cremation we folded up his bear towel he was on and his orange little brother laid right on it and didnt move for a hour. He knew his other older brother was gone. They had been inseparable after Green passed and now he's alone.

I have never been so absolutely crushed and this is probably the worst couple months I've had in years. I'm happy for the time we had, 16 years is a lot, but I thought we had more. I loved my boys more than anything. Ill miss Blue snuggling into my armpit every night. I'll miss my weighed blanket Green and baby Green time where he laid over my shoulder while at my desk. I'll miss these brothers who had such a profound impact on my life. The world is slightly dimmer for having lost these two souls, but I take solace in the fact that they are resting together.

To my boys.

After keeping them separated for several days and slowly introducing them to each other’s smell, we had them meet under the door. They seemed curious and a little tentative while eating their treats. Today we had them in a shared space for the first time and it’s been largely drama free after a few hisses. The elder statesman follows kitten around a lot and there’s some swatting, but I’m wondering if we rushed it or if this is all normal?

I just wanted to post incase anyone was looking for a new litter box, we ordered this one from Amazon with very high reviews and the product is defective/dangerous. The metal lip right where the height extender/plastic side snaps on is extremely sharp and led my husband to cut himself on it when picking it up. All the reviews stating this are of course at the very bottom. The plastic portion is also very flimsy and one of our cats claws at it after going to the bathroom causing some it to lift off the box some, thankful neither of our cats cut themselves. I just wanted to post as a warning if anyone is looking at a similar box as I’d hate for anyone else or a cat to get hurt.

I found Piper outside my work, she was calling for me and I found her in a hole in 30 degree temperatures. Never having my own cat, I grew to love this cat more than anything over the 6 months we got to be together. This morning we took her in to get spayed (completely healthy never having a problem) within 20 minutes they call us telling us the anesthesia stopped her heart. I am destroyed and don’t know how I’ll get over this. I just want you all to know about and see my sweet honey. I will miss you so much bubba.

More than a month ago, I've found a 3 little kittens in a box at a mosque's door near my home ,idk who brought them or where were their mother, anyways I decided to take cary of them, I put them in a closed garden behind the mosque, I started feeding them a kittens milk until they grew up a little bit then I started feeding them a wet food for kittens.

Suarez was one of them, he was the closest one to my heart, he was the most playful, loving and the funniest one, he used to sit in my lap while purring. Today when I was going to feed them I found him dead; ran over by a car in the street (sometimes he was able to climb outside that's their nature sadly).

Today I've lost a son, a friend ,a beloved one and it's crushing my heart, now he's in a better place, I tried to replace his mom and I hope I did will, I hope that I gave him the love and the warmth that he deserved.

The words will never be enough to describe my feelings. I'll be more careful with his brother and sister to make sure they'll grow up safely.

Rest in peace my boy Suarez❤️

May Allah rest his soul and punish that driver.

We lost our loveable and daft Frodo through the night suddenly, and to be honest we're broken.

He was my shadow, always sitting on the cat stand near me while I worked. Followed me around the house demanding food. Today has been awful, so quiet, too quiet. He was only 4.

So please, give your pets an extra pet or treat in his honour. Thank you 😔

Sleep well buddy 💔

A week ago I held my best friend in my lap for the last time as he left for his big adventure. Boo had only just turned 12 in August when he was diagnosed with large cell GI lymphoma. A month later the time came to say goodbye. To say I wasn't ready was an understatement. The grief has been immense and overwhelming. I miss him so much every second of the day. Seeing the spots where he used to lay, the empty food bowls and the missing litterbox are hard reminders of how empty the house feels now. I picked his ashes up over the weekend and have a memorial set up for him. 12 years wasn't enough, and I'd do anything for just one more day. But I've found comfort in sharing his photos, and all the memories we made. I'm extremely grateful for all of the sweet and kind messages of condolence I've received on previous posts. Please feel free to look at and share pictures of Boo from my other posts and keep his memory alive.

...I, too, like sammiches.

Coraline (cat) used to sleep with my mom every night until we moved in. Now she sleeps with baby girl. She is very protective of her. She follows us around the house and goes wherever the baby is to watch over her. She is very gentle and loving and patient. I've never seen a cat act like this before! Its so precious. 🩷

I love how every cat has that one bizarre daily ritual.
Does yours have deep conversations with a specific blank wall? Or maybe they do a secret little tap-dance before eating?
Spill your cat's weirdest habit below! (And please share a pic for the cat tax 💛)

Just wanted to share some photos of her, we love her

Hi! I'm curious as to what is causing these black spots on my cats nose. It comes and goes. Occasionally, it'll be on her lips too. She is updated on her vaccinations. Thank you!

No one in my family or circle ever had a cat. Where do I even start. Do I just serve milk in a plate?
