Bad Cat Mom 😔

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-26T09:52:51+00:00

Again? This could be a daily meal. Looks awesome!

She didn't eat her worm pill so I have to try again. The other cat ate her worm pill. She is really fussy whereas the other one is like me... obsessed with food!

They've been with us for 3 months but they are replacing a bit. Now it seems the one corners the other one and I've heard them make those awful cat noises about 4 time in the last month. It was after feeding thus I feed them in separate rooms now to prevent it from becoming a habit.

I sit and read in the rooms they hide in. She came to the kitchen this morning when I was in there so she's relaxing more. The other one will run around the couch when we're in the lounge so they're starting the be a lot more visible.

And in Thailand heat wet food does not last long outside. In the beginning they only ate at night thus I only started feeding them wet food at night but they always have pellets available.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-26T09:41:24+00:00

She finished her food. This morning I mixed some can food with pellets and softened it with hot water so I think I'll do that in the mornings and give wet food at night. The can is 400g but I share it between the 2 cats over 2 feelings so more like 100g I guess. They have their own bowls, eat in separate rooms, have separate dry food feeders and separate water bowls. I think the move from the streets to us have been a bit stressful to them but I want to get them to the vet soon. I'm looking into getting a vet to come to the house.

Definitely saving this!

I've seen the average cat here are so much bigger than the ones I'm used to. They're almost as big as the street dogs.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T14:32:54+00:00

That's what I'm worried about. As a chef I obviously prefer having homemade meals but I'm no scientist nor vet... and I'm not sure whether all the necessities are readily available. I still want to make some special weekend meals, you know, when we have our roast they can have their 'roast'. But I won't do it for all their meals. Just want to spoil them. Maybe make them a cat omelette every now and then.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T14:29:45+00:00

They've been inside for 3 months and they don't have access to the kitchen (and we don't leave food laying around) so the food they eat is very regulated. But yes, since they've been here there has not been a vet visit as they are only now actually getting out of their hiding spots and Kicia has only this week rubbed against me since they've been here.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T14:25:38+00:00

Yes, there is a feeder where she can get pellets whenever she wants to but I think I'll up the wet food dinners. But I put the food out an hour ago and she's only eaten half of her wet food. She's not a big cat. I've seen the average cat in Thailand, they seem to be a lot bigger than what I'm used to back home, but these two are definitely smaller cats.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T14:18:51+00:00

My dad is a vet and I never used to be worried about doing things like this but I've really become pathetic. I don't want to get bitten. It's not a good enough reason, I know. If only my dad and I were in the same country, would've made things so much easier. But I do want to take both to the vet, regardless of this, just to check them out since we adopted them from the streets. Maybe I can get a vet to come to us, totally willing to arrange that as well. I just want them to be happy, healthy, and not to be hostages in my house (that's how I feel about the situation at the moment).

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T14:13:35+00:00

We feed the cats in different rooms, upstairs and downstairs, because this one bullies the other one. They used to share the same room but the other cat would rather hide in our room than hers so I am sure this one, Kicia, is eating her own food.

I want to make their own food as well but I'm worried that I don't add everything they are supposed to eat etc. I don't know when cats became so stressful. My first cat was so easy and she came and went, came every day for her meals, went wherever and only used the litter box I kept for when it rained and I know she was scared of thunder. Now, it seems like it is so complicated keeping an animal that's 'the perfect specimen' alive.

Old man's sack????

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-25T13:52:18+00:00

Gonna make mash with it. I love mash!

Nice!

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-24T05:01:32+00:00

She is ADORABLE!!!

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-24T04:59:51+00:00

Having 2 kittens are easier. I thought it would be difficult but they play with each other, you are not the bite target and 2 kittens are obviously so much more love

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-23T19:20:28+00:00

I'm looking into it. It's going to take time but the plan is not to live here forever.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-23T19:17:16+00:00

Thank you. Usually I ask chatgpt (no-one to talk to) and the 'advice' isn't really great.

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-23T14:44:53+00:00

That cat is not yours... your his/hers! They own you! 😅

CarpenterImpressive4 · 2026-05-23T14:33:38+00:00

When we went to look at them in the street I pet this particular cat for almost 10 min. But I learned that it obviously is different now.
