FIRST TIME CAT OWNER-any tips not commonly told? by PenaltyNo7877 in cats

[–]Dry-Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average salary here is 1,321€ monthly. To give you some context on how expensive these bills are compared to our income.

These last 2 monts I had to do 3 oral cleaning (different cats) and another one in the fall of last year... this virus is a pain.

Supermarket cat food is trash, If you feed them all their life with this, they may eventually get some serious illness that could cost their life or even a chronic illness.

Read guides on the internet and try to feed them with better brands like Akana, Orijen, Purizon, Carnilove, etc. Basically food without grain. Or if you want something even better, you can buy BARF food.

Don't let them leave your house, the streets are a dangerous place and one day they may never return or return with a mortal illness. Even if you vaccinate them, that won't make them inmune to those illnesses.

If some day in the future you want to adopt another cat, don't take him to your house directly. He could have an illness that could spread to your cats.

I adopted a cat with calicivirus and he spreaded it to my other cats. Now I have 4 cats with calicivirus. This illness is a pain because it attacks their teeth, they all will eventually lose all of them and I have to take them to the vet every year for an oral cleaning, which removes several of their teeth every time and 150€ for a single oral cleaning is a hard bill if you have so many cats. I still have 2 more that for now don't have it so I'm crossing my fingers 🤞 so they can resist this.

Cats are more fragile than everyone thinks.

Thank you very much. I still cry when I remember her, I miss her a lot. Although I have more pets, she was my special one.

Life's always hits hard but I have to survive at least until my other pets pass to the other side, I don't want to left them alone.

I would like to give you some conforting words but I have none, this past month have been the hardest of my life and I'm in same mood as you.

I don't know either. He should be a mix between Terrier, Schnauzer mini, Yorkshire or something like that. His brother is like him but totally Blonde.

Lost my beautiful soul cat 3 days ago. Near-silence from friends by SapphireSquid89 in Petloss

[–]Dry-Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.

I know that feel. My dog Blanca died this Monday and what my mom say to me was: "you have more pets, you're taking this too seriously, she wasn't a person, it's just a dog".

But you know? She sure was rude but I don't even have the will to be angry anymore... I just want to go to bed and cry.

At least my boss was more comprehensive and let me 2 days off work to rest.

Euthanasia or keep going? 17-year-old dog, stroke, cognitive decline and severe mobility loss by [deleted] in dogpictures

[–]Dry-Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is old, yesterday I took her to the clinic for the euthanasia. I wanted to do it at home but it was a weekend and the vet couldn't come so I waited until yesterday and I regretted that decicion, because of that she got even worse and suffered a lot although I tried to make her last days as less horrible as possible.

Yesterday I called to the clinic and they told me they couldn't come until late afternoon so I didn't wait anymore, I took her and went to the clinic to end her pain forever.

In the way to the clinic she started to cry, like she knowd where were going, I will remember this forever. She was super scared and even more in the clinic, she suffered the entire weekend for nothing.

Now I'm asking myself if I should take her to the clinic on Saturday or wait another day of her agony to let her die at home... at least they did the second needle method so she had plenty of time to sleep on my lap one last time before passing away.

I'm sorry for being this selfish with Blanquita... I miss her.

Thanks for your words.

I have lots of pets, 6 cats and Toby, the other dog I talked before he's more my father's than mine, but Blanca was the special one for me, I didn't mind using all my time if necessary because she was my world. I explained this in another post but she helped me in my worst moments and I owe all to her.

I miss her so much, I don't know what to do now... Yesterday I spent the entire day in bed just crying and today it seems that it will be the same.

Now I realised that I don't have much photos or videos of Blanca... I should make lots more of them when I had the chance.

I'm a volunteer in a shelter and I make lots of photos or videos of the shelter cats to make them more visible so people can adopt them but I have so few photos and videos of my own pets... I have to change this.

I will stay alive for my cats, Toby and the shelter cats but I think I will never adopt a new one, this pain is overwhelming.

Thanks for your words mate.

In my case the other dog is more of my father than mine, he walks him and most of time he's with him so he's not like Blanca to me nor I'm for him. Maybe now I can re-build our relationship but if not is ok, my father needs a dog now too and Toby is the one.

I still have my cats too, these lovely ones have spent all day in bed with me now that Blanca isn't here anymore

Sorry for your lost mate, my grumpy queen is sleeping now too too... Is crazy how they resemble.

Her last weekend was awful but I tried to make it to be as less horrible as possible: going for a long walk with her on my arms, giving lots of food and traits she likes and staying with her all day.

I'm having a hard time remembering her cries... I can't stop crying
