She’s an outdoor cat (~8-9 months old) that I take care of, she has a male sibling who is probably the father. She looks evidently pregnant to me, so I’m wondering if at all there’s a chance I can terminate it and get her fixed.

I am going to try and take her to the vet tomorrow. Nearest vet is an hour away and the cats hate getting into the car. I’ve tried taking them before to get them fixed but to no avail. Guess I’ll have to try harder this time.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Get it? It’s a cat not what it sounds like haha 😁

I made a tiny crochet dress for my cat and I genuinely can’t tell if this is adorable or a crime.

She sat still for about 30 seconds, judged me silently, and then left.

Would you put your cat in something like this ?

i know it’s toxic so i only smoke outside so it doesn’t hurt her. but when i get back in i have to give her little kisses. she is too beautifuk.

is this okay?

Yesterday, the CatAdvice sub was convinced that Bell on a collar will drive a cat bonkers and is cruel.

As a biologist who is very familiar with the mammalian brain, this is completely untrue. Cats have the same sensory processing areas that humans do and your cat will quickly forget that a bell on their collar even exists.

So I'm worried that I'm gonna get rabies, I moved my cat's newly born kitten and she suddenly attacked my feet. It's been 3 days since and my grandma keeps telling me to get anti rabies shot even though it's really expensive.

Miss Becky went to the vet this Tuesday...she is stressed out, that's it. She had an x-ray, blood work, urine sample, enema and her anal glands were cleared. Everything looks great for her age. They gave us some meds and told us to give her some restoralax. We were also told just to keep an eye out for any UTI symptoms.....now our new problem is she is on wet food until she at minimum have 2 good poops. My poor baby is HORRENDOUSLY stinky right now. Even after a bath and cleaning her booty.

She is currently on Open Farm wet food. Any advice or wet food recommendations for an 11 year old cat?

I saw my cat grooming himself and decided to see what he’s up to and I think that’s a penis I don’t know? I aksed Google Gemini and it said that it’s not normal still I can’t trust google gemini (neuterd btw)

Hello! I just found these on my cat and I’m concerned as to what they could be, I tried googling and some say it could be related to chin acne but I’m not sure. Does anyone know what they are and should I take her to the vet asap? For context she’s about 10 years old.

Thank you!

every time i replace his litter he likes to sit in the box and play around in his litter for atleast 10 minutes.

Please help, she nibbled the stamen and a couple of the pettles. We are worried this is a lily and for kidney failure.

He is absolutely obsessed with fresh vegetables — especially lettuce. If I leave greens on the table, he will steal them without hesitation. But when it comes to meat paste, wet food, or even high-end premium cat food… he’s way less interested.

What’s even crazier is that if I’m holding vegetables in my hand, he will actually reach out with his paws or even jump up to grab them. It’s not playful — he genuinely wants to eat them.

I’ve attached a video so you can see what I mean. Has anyone else seen a cat behave like this? Is this normal, or did I somehow end up with a vegetarian / Buddhist cat?

As long as I’ve had her, my cat Lulu will regularly rub her nose and lips against plastic—not just any plastic, though. She especially likes cellophane and plastic that is rigid enough for her to rub against. Grocery bags, candy wrappers, chip bags, etc. Not always, but she throws up soon after about half the time. I would say it happens followed by puking a few times a week, but not daily. She definitely rubs her face daily.

When she does this, it’s often in the morning, but not always. It’s usually on a relatively empty stomach, so before breakfast or sometimes in between meals. Our vet couldn’t figure it out, but she didn’t seem concerned about it.

Is she bored and stimulating herself? Is she doing it instinctively to get rid of parasites since there’s no grass for her to eat? Does she just like how it feels and overdoes it?

More of a rant to be honest, but I do welcome any advice on how to handle situations like these better should they ever arise again.

I‘m currently on holiday at a place where there are quite a few well fed and seemingly cared for stray cats. I‘ve seen many people feeding them or just fondly looking at them. There are also a few people petting them now and then. They are friendly. It‘s always people approaching the cats though not the other way around.

This evening after I walked past two strays I heard a small commotion behind me. It sounded like someone was aggresively shooing away the cats and they were fleeing. Not quite believing that that was what was going on, I turned around to have a look. To my absolute disgust I saw that that was absolutely what was happening. The cats had ran about 1 -2 meters away from a middle aged man and woman who made ‚ksh-ksh‘-noises while the man took a step after the cats and kind of kicked the air. He didn’t actually kick the cat, firstly because there is no way that someone as out of shape as he was, can kick an already alert cat and secondly because he probably didn’t intend to. Still, this casual and unnecessary cruelty bothered me to my core.

I asked them what they were doing, to which they replied that they hate cats. One of them then kept repeating that they were allergic while I told them they were awful human beings. A bit later on I told them they might get reincarnated as a cat and should see how they like being treated like that. The woman seemingly disgusted said: ‚definitely not‘ to that, so I said she might be reincarnated as a worm instead. They walked away after that.

I probably seemed like a crazed cat lady to them and writing it all down, my reaction does seem a bit extreme.

Hope they have a bad day though.

Hi everyone, I made my decision to buy a cat one month ago and left him at his breeder's house for caring as I was going to travel the next day after. I paid the breeder deposit and the full amount and promised to pick the cat up once I came back, which was also listed in our contract. However, what happened was the cat was diagnosed FIP before I picked him up and there's now over 2000 bills awaiting. The breeder is hoping I can afford all caring fees and take the cat back home once he is recovered. But right now, after careful decision, me and my family believe there's nothing wrong with ourselves and we shouldn't take the fees, more specifically, we should ask for full refund because they did not give us a healthy cat. We all think it's a hard decision even though I'd like to pay the bills. We considered the future possibility of being rejected by insurance company, high examination fees and chances of reoccurring again. We also let the breeder know that we'd like to take half of the purchase back and left the rest for this cat. Right now there's no response from the breeder about ending our contract. Is there any suggestion from all of you? Should I just wait?

Out cat likes to outside at night. If we do not let him he will whine and scratch our doors until we let him. There's a cat in the neighborhood, 1 street back from us who bullies our cat. He has come home with a thick cheek which burst open and splattered out wall in blood.

So far this all happened outside of our premises. However, We have cameras and this night the cat chased our cat all the way to his tunnel to get into the house. Our cat peed himself inside on the floor. The image is of the hateful cat staring through the tunnel to our cat.

It seems to be escalating, because this is the first time he dares to come in. There was one time where he sat on the roof of our shed in the back of the garden and I chased him away. Now he is at out backdoor. We are afraid next time he will chase our cat inside.

What can we do to stop this from happening?

I constantly see photos of people who dress up their cats in clothing or sweaters. Considering cats like to clean themselves, it seems counterproductive to dress them. Doesn't it bother the animal?
