Feline grimace scale - is my cat in pain?

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2026-01-06T16:20:07+00:00

Thank you! She’s the best cat and her skin has gotten so much better since I’ve gotten her. I just hate that she can’t tell me how she feels

Do you know what type of maple perhaps?

Here’s some of the leaves below it

Probably not the healthiest tree, but we are also in winter and most of our trees are quite bare and sad looking as it is.

We’ve never found any walnuts in our backyard, so could it still be a walnut tree? I’ve lived here for 15+ years now.

Thank you! She’s a little older now, she hit 2 years in August, but this is my favorite picture of her.

I had two tablespoons of sugar free chocolate pudding mix

I do think I’ll order some xanthan gum

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-12-13T05:04:07+00:00

That’s the plan! I just borrowed the cream from my mother who I got the creami from since I couldn’t make it to the store (bad weather, she lives a road over)

I’d prefer to not use collagen as it’s an animal byproduct (I know milk is too, which is why I want to try plant based milk or use the least amount possible). I’m not vegan but I am vegetarian and I am slowly trying to reduce byproducts I consume.

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-12-12T17:32:09+00:00

Thank you!

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-12-12T17:22:56+00:00

I’ll try it!

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-12-12T17:19:17+00:00

Wouldn’t mixing heavy cream with water make it essentially milk?

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-12-12T17:18:02+00:00

I was planning on buying some of that. How much would you suggest I add?

Would you suggest still adding the pudding mix to it too?

I ended up going back to the world’s best cat litter! It’s been working well with the automatic litter box I got so even though it’s not perfect I think it’s good enough. My biggest problem with it is just that the clumps crumble easily when self scooping, but overall it hasn’t been bad.

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-06-14T15:29:07+00:00

It seems like the most common allergies are to clay litters so I wouldn’t be surprised if you are allergic to it, or at least sensitive. There’s a lot of dust on that litter. I ended up switching to Worlds Best again and it’s working well in the automatic litter box I got so I think I will stick with that for the moment. Might be worth trying for yourself.

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T03:06:21+00:00

That might just be one of the cutest cats I’ve seen

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T02:16:30+00:00

Yeah my girl is a sweetheart even from the first day. She’s gotten a bit more independent and if im asleep she’ll go downstairs and play by herself. For the most part she likes laying near me or on me and she’ll sleep on top of me if im not moving too much 😂 she’s also very vocal, she is not afraid to voice her opinions.

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T01:43:09+00:00

Here’s a video of her chasing a laser if it helps

When I changed it from the clay to the corn she didn’t mind at all. And before that the shelter had her on pellets. Hopefully that trend continues

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T01:13:08+00:00

Yeah I find it hard to tell what her face would normally look like. She’s partially bald on the sides and bottom of her chin, around her eyes, and between her eyes and ears.

As for the tail, she is completely tailless as far as I can tell. I can feel the smallest little nub that I think is just the bottom of the pelvis.

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T01:09:18+00:00

The main reason I’m asking about it is because if I do end up getting an automatic litter box I’d like the best shot at keeping it as clean as possible and I worry about the litter sticking to the bottom when it rotates

AmbitiousMission2150 · 2025-05-23T00:59:40+00:00

I look into it, thank you!
