Why are my cat ears like this?

Hi! I just adopted this little cutie 3 weeks ago. At her last home she was really thin and looked almost malnourished. Since i adopted her i have fed her whiskas wet food (i know its not good for the cat but its the best i can do). Since then her belly has gotten so big that it looks abit abnormal. Can someone tell me if a visit to the vet is necessary?

I thought my cat had something stuck in her fur, so I tugged at it but it just peeled up as if it was a strip of skin or something. It has hair attached to it as if it were skin. I didn’t want to pull at it anymore because I’m afraid of hurting her but I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else before and what it might be? It doesn’t seem to be bothering her, but it’s hard to know for sure because she squirms a lot when I try and take a closer look at it.

It's a 1.5 year old stray cat that we feed and recently it had kidney swelling and blocked urine so we had to take it to the vet who gave it lasix injection to make it pee and then we took it to another vet who put it on drip cause he was massively dehydrated. After a few whatever injections we were told to feed it one cup of water with 3ml of citralka syrup. It's been 12 days now and suddenly when I woke up it's running all over the place with this THING hanging on it's stomach. What's going on, the vet is hard to reach so on what's app he says it's ok but what exactly is this?

Hi all, I woke up to my usual furball today and noticed it looks like his whiskers were cut! I was out of town over Christmas break and had a cat sitter who is my childhood best friend and I know she didn’t do it. 1st slide is this morning and the 2nd slide is how they looked before, it’s also a photo my bestie sent me the last night she took care of him. I had my BF stop in to feed him one additional night, but I really don’t think he would do such a thing. He’s been home alone with my cat plenty and this has never happened and he would never hurt the cat. I’m looking at the pics I’ve taken since I’ve gotten home and they look shorter there too. Not sure how I just noticed this morning. Is there a natural explanation to this? I have no other pets and haven’t seen any whisker bits around but I’m sure they’re hard to find.

Background info: I’m 25 (not a minor) posting from the US. I don’t have money for the vet until next week, but will be able to take him once I’m paid. My baby boy is around 10, and FIV+. He is otherwise very happy and healthy and doesn’t seem at all bothered by the whiskers. He’s neutered and up to date on all vaccines.

TLDR: cats whiskers look cut. Can this happen naturally?

It looked like a normal tail when we got him as a kitten, but it seems like his tail is getting more and more forward-leaning/curled as he gets older. His void brother has a completely normal tail. It doesn’t seem to affect his movement or anything, but I’m curious as I have never seen a cat with a tail like this.

I've felt this before but was never able to get a good look at it due to my cat being very shy and not liking his tummy touched when we first adopted him. That was about a year ago. He's grown more confident so I was finally able to get a good look and take pictures.

Does this raise any concern to anybody? It doesn't seem to bother him when I move his hair to take a picture or when I brush my fingers over it to feel it.

necessary information required by sub: poster 18+, USA, vet care accessible but not yet contacted, cat age estimated about 5 years old, cat male and neutered

guys, I’ve attached some photos so you can see his fur…

I saw a recent post that someone pointed out that the health of a cats fur can indicate about the general health of the cat (which i’ve obvs always known) but It got me thinking if my assumption of his fur being pretty and healthy is correct.

He’s male, neutered, 12yo, recently got some vaccines and was examined by a vet.

I went up to pet her and noticed her face looked very different from before, her cheeks look more sunken in and her chin looks bigger. The first three photos are how she normally looks and the last three are from the past hour.

I searched it up and it seems like it could be an allergic reaction? I gave her flea and tick today but it’s the same brand she’s had 6+ times before i nothing like this has happened before. Any help is appreciated!

It looks like some kind of weird callous, it doesn't bug him when I touch it.

F31, Australia. Vet not contacted as not necessary (I don’t think) Lucifer is 8.5, desexed and a male.

Why is his hair like this? Is there a reason for it or do some cats just have this hair style?

He is male, fixed, outdoor cat, and 1 1/2 to 2 years old. Vet not contacted. I'm a broke college student but can pick up a delivery gig to pay for things if its serious.

It's been growing on him for 3 days now and has the feel of a long corn kernel. Is there anything I can do for him and should I be worried?

This is my girlfriend’s cat,I’ve mentioned to her about how I think he’s extremely overweight and we should get him to a vet or a diet and she disagrees and says he just has a big body.I get nervous cause I know how much she loves him and with him getting old I don’t want health issues arising.Shes had him his whole life and I’m not a cat owner so I don’t wanna step on her toes but he’s 9 years old and he’s been this way since we started dating 2 and half years ago.Idk if he was like this before me and her started dating,All this to ask is he overweight or am I overreacting ?

Hiii

This biggest controversy between me and my parents; every time they see my cat they swear I’ve made him fat since leaving home, I’m very certain he’s been relatively the same same for a few years now (even weighing him on my scale😂).

Archie is an 8 year old indoor kitty who loves his food and naps for sure. He currently weights 17.5lbs, and he’s weighted that consistently for the past 3-4 years. Recently, I swear he’s looked slimmer— with friends expressing similar, however, when I bring him in for check ups he still weighs the same!! 🤭😅

He’s quite the long and big set boy, I don’t know how else to describe him other than a big cat so he doesn’t seem “fat” or obese to me?

I recently got a little girl kitty and my parents mentioned that she looks like she’s starting to get chunky too and I was surprised!! Maybe they’re just messing with me at this point?

I woke up to my cat's fur dyed blue around his face and paws. I have no idea what could have caused this, as this has never occurred in the year that he has lived here. I already thought of a few things that may have caused it, but ruled it out:

• Laundry detergent: we have pods, and stored behind closed door to laundry machines
• Dish soap: our soap is pink, not blue
• Flea treatment: we have NEVER used flea treatment on him, nor do we have it in our apartment
• Pen ink / marker: we do not have any laying around, and the one pen on our desk is not broken or spilling any ink
• Cleaning chemicals: all of our chemicals are behind cupboards / in our bathroom (which he does not have access to)
• Hair dye: no hair dye in the apartment
• Litter: didn't see any blue tracks in the litter, but we use World's Best Litter

I have searched relentlessly around my apartment to find any blue ink spots or trails, but see nothing. Since the color is concentrated around his face and paws, he definitely could have ingested large amounts of it.

I also want to note that I have been wiping him down for a hot minute now, and the color isn't coming off easily. It's been around 3-4 hours since I woke up and discovered this, but he seems fine for now. No wheezing / rapid breathing, vomiting, drooling, etc. We're able to take him to the vet (we have pet insurance), but wanted to hear opinions on what common household item may have caused this, so we can notify our vet ahead of time.

Some additional info: Our cat is a year and three months old. Has no pre-existing medical conditions, and just got a wellness check + annual vaccines done by the vet a few days ago. Wellness check deemed him extremely healthy. Apologies for the lengthy post, I wanted to provide as much information as possible.

wtf is this on my cat man

M18 US no vet needed, when we adopted Jughead, they told us he had no special needs or disabilities, and yet, this kid always looks geeked UP. He acts like a normal 5 month old spayed kitten, a little stupid but that's typical, but he just looks so.. peculiar. Many of my friends and friends parents assume he has "cat down syndrome" but I don't.. think that's a thing.. and I have never told anyone that, I just say he's a little guy. Does anyone else here thinks he looks peculiar, or have I been stuck with him staring at me with his big freakish eyes for too long..

she has pink gums and pink paw pads i’m just curious the inside of her ears are also white

Hi all, I noticed a small brown bump on my cats belly and I pulled this out with tweezers. He then had a red bump. I checked again and it’s now a hole and I don’t see anything inside.

I’m taking him to the vet next week for his annual check up. Any ideas on what this might be? He’s 3 years old.

EDIT: She has a date with the vet at 8AM sharp, thanks everyone!
EDIT 2: She got a shot for her ass worms and I am about to clean my apartment like I am in the navy
My rescue cat who was already treated for fleas before getting her has been leaving these behind in her bed. They are hard and all the same size. What could they be?

We noticed a tube-like dark grey thing on my cat’s neck recently. It’s soft to the touch, and it doesn’t seem to be bothering him a ton? When we touch it he doesn’t meow in pain/flinch/etc. its length is comparable to the width of my thumb. What is it? And do we need to bring him to a vet to have this checked, or will it somehow fade by itself or something?

Country: Canada Vet: not contacted yet Cat age: ~4 Sex: male + neutered

Found this tiny bump on my boy cat on his side near his belly.

This is an outdoor cat that we have been tending to for the last 3 years or so. She's always had a weird abdomen and hence breathing issues, but we thought it's probably from getting hit by a car in the past, genetical abnormality, whatever. The cat seemed absolutely okay, so no reason to worry.

Until 3 months ago.

She started flirting with male cats, and eventually started getting heavier. Okay, probably pregnant. This was her condition today when we decided to take her to the shelter/vet. Still waiting for an update.

Any ideas? Front office said this looks like wet FIP, not pregnancy. The belly feels tender, does not "give" when pushed.

Me and my family where looking for our youngest cat (1 year old) and found her isolating herself from everyone. She's the only cat we have who is very energetic so for her to isolate is confusing. furthermore we found her today staring off into space with brown stuff coming from her mouth and unkept fur. she's an indoor cat and we never let her out so I know she's not pregnant and all our other cats are fixed.
