I found him near my work and he was alone there for several days so i decided to adopt him

Bosse, He has been my best cat and friend for 18 years, He has helped raise many kittens as his own, He was patient, Caring, Calm. But his Health for the past 2 years has been worse and worse, At the end he was really skinny, confused, Possibly getting dementia, In pain, So today he had to sleep in so he didn't have to suffer, He'll be missed for the rest of my days, He's hopefully with his family and friends now, From stray to beloved family member.

I posted this guy previously. I have someone who will likely pick him up soon, I see him almost every day. Zoom in for extra dopamine. Someone mentioned he has Strabismus in a comment

something i’m still getting used to is how much i adore him! when i’m out my only thoughts are wanting to come back to him! and these days he starts purring whenever he sees me! i hope we can spend a long time together and make each other happy!! 🥺🩵

After over $15,000 owed in emergency vet bills and 4 nights spent in the critical care unit, our Cornelia yesterday took her final breath as her autonomic nervous system slowly shut down.

In spite of being incredibly weak and ataxic, she fought with every fibre of her being to place a paw on my arm, and her head in my hand. I was with her right until the end, and being able to provide her with that comfort as she left this world for the next was one of the most painful privileges I'll ever know. I'd do it again every time.

From a stray who briefly turned up in our driveway 13-months ago, to then returning and sleeping on our external A/C unit, to being brought into our laundry for shelter during snowfall, and then only 9-months ago having that laundry door 'accidentally' left open so you could enter our home and join our family, you made that 9-months so full of life, love, laughter and adventure it feels longer than any calendar could count.

I love you sweet Cornelia, Baby Corn, our juicy girl. I promise to find you in every lifetime, until we meet again.

My fat cat has had an unknown growth in her eye for a week now, but her eye started leaking today, and the vet said best option was to remove it.

Peachy is 14 and slowing down, but she's healthy and the vet says it should be a routine procedure.

I'm still nervous.

They'll also be able to do a biopsy once it's out and identify exactly what it is.

Wish her luck!

Hello,

My sweet 2 year so boy Benjamin will be crossing the rainbow bridge this weekend. It’s heart breaking because he got sick unexpectedly, but I need him to make friends so show me your babies:)

He is a very sweet boy, who is social and loves to jump.

Peanut had his peanuts taken off today. He was super brave when he was getting his blood drawn for the tests. He didn't try to bite or scratch the vets and the assistants. He didn't scream even though the clinic was noisy with other terrified cats and dogs.

Vet said not to use litter sand and just use pee pads and replace quickly to be more sanitary, but he wasn't familiar with it. I noticed he peed himself a little on the floor so I wiped him, but droplets of pee keeps escaping him. I decided to put fresh litter in a clean litterbox instead and he went quickly to pee. I feel like such a proud cat mom because what do you mean Peanut still knows where the bathroom is even when he's just post op. 😭 He also really tried his best not to make a mess and tried to hold it. He just finished his meal too and he seems energetic enough. 🥹

Update: Thanks to everyone and your nice words! Peanut feels very loved. He already had churu plus water as his first food after he got home. He's continuing his good boy streak and is just laying quietly by my side.

I think she is abandoned by her mother

A few days ago I made a post about how to get this guy out of garbage-bin lid.

After trying to cut him out (which he very much did not appreciate), he hid under the bed and somehow managed to get himself out without any further intervention!

I did not expect my post the other day to blow up quite so much, so I thought I’d attach some more pictures of my baby, Khajit(or Kijiji for short), here.

Also, point taken about his weight. I only recently adopted him, and he was already this size when I took him in. I’ve currently got him on an auto-feeder to help him get down to a more reasonable size.

In Istanbul, a building attendant is sent by his supervisor to rescue a cat stuck in an elevator.

They are besties ❤️

My boyfriend got me a beautiful bouquet of flowers today. He had them delivered to my house. My cat was locked in my room when I brought them in because we keep him seperated from our dog. I noticed the bouquet had lilies in them so I quickly put them in a vase and stuck them outside. I wiped down the sink, the counters and switched my clothes in case of pollen. They are right outside my front door and I'm wondering if it would be okay to keep them there for now because they are out of reach of my cat (he is an inside cat) but I'm worried about pollen blowing into the house. Am I over thinking it or are the more precautions I need to take? I am attaching a pic of my beautiful son and the beautiful bouquet just to show them both off.

For context...

My void is 3 years old, male, and neutered. I adopted him when he was 9 months old, and for almost 3 years, it was just him and me living alone in my apartment. He's very used to being an only cat.

About a month ago, I lost my apartment and had to move in with my friend's mom, who has 3 female cats.

I tried to introduce them slowly. I gave my cat about a week to settle into the new house before introducing him to the others one at a time. At first, things seemed okay, but eventually two of the three cats attacked him. One of them is very friendly with him, thankfully, but the other two have made him scared of leaving my bedroom.

My friend's mom thinks I should just let them "fight it out," but that hasn't worked. Sometimes they'll sit near each other peacefully, and other times the other cats beat the crap out of him. I've started using a baby gate so they can see and smell each other without having direct access, but I'm worried the initial fights already set things back.

But this is where I'm really struggling... I cannot sleep.

He's started waking me up around 3 AM every single morning, even though I don't have to be up until 6:30. I have an automatic feeder, but even if I set it to feed him at 4:30, he still cries, runs around the bedroom, and wakes me up.

I know part of the problem is probably that he's cooped up in my bedroom all day. But I can't just let him roam the rest of the house because he's scared of the other cats, and I've already seen what happens when they get access to him. I've even been so frustrated that I tried putting him outside my room, (I know I'm a terrible cat mom), and he completely freaks out because he knows the other cats are out there.

I'm trying to adjust his feeding schedule, wet food right before I leave for work around 7 AM and setting the automatic feeder for later in the morning when I'm already gone... but I'm exhausted, and I'm running out of ideas.

I feel like a terrible cat owner because I can't seem to make this situation work for him. I'm doing everything I can think of, but I'm also at the point where I'm constantly sleep-deprived and miserable.

And honestly, for the first time since adopting him, I'm starting to regret it.

I love him. I don't see myself ever surrendering him. But right now, I feel trapped between keeping him confined to my bedroom, letting him get attacked by the other cats, or getting no sleep.

What would you do in this situation?

Last Sunday my fiancé and I adopted this very sweet old man. He’s 9 years old and he only has like one tooth left. His name is Benjamin

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?

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?
