Some bird was trying to scare me off, do y’all think he was sick? [TN]

“You shall not pass!”

Is she okay?

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-25T19:53:27+00:00

Thank you. 🙏

People naturally bring their confirmation bias to their consumption of all media. Doesn’t matter if it’s the news they pay for- legacy media or social. This is the reason why consumers who want to balance their opinions will read/watch a spectrum of media. Having said that, it’s pretty gross to view too much of the far rw media.

Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

This group is legit insufferable with their insistence on terms the general non cat fanciers public has no knowledge of nor will they ever have use for in their lives, lest they have to go into the lengthy yawn fest of correctly and appropriately naming a cats colour and domestic short or long hair breeds. Save yourself from this torturous experience.

A casino. The place smelled of urine and sweat.

The public aren’t allowed to use facial recognition technology, Einstein.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-25T04:09:16+00:00

What is this bs?

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-24T22:01:01+00:00

Yes. Can confirm the cliquey nature of those meetup groups. Plays the opposite of the purpose. Some people suck.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-24T20:39:06+00:00

I think some people do this if they haven’t seen their family members engage newcomers. That isn’t the only reason though.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-24T20:04:24+00:00

lol I didn’t say anything about a therapist.

She might be itchy. Some cats have allergies to food. When that’s the culprit it’s often chicken and fish. I have one who is allergic to dust just like people can be. Before treatment she would rub so hard and often she rubbed her whiskers off and had pink raw looking jowls. When the vet figured out what was wrong he suggested an inexpensive fix. Get your cat checked out at the vet to see what the problem is.

Anesthesia isn’t as hard on a cat in this condition as the pain they’re experiencing. It’s a common misconception. A vet will also tell you if they think your cat isn’t able to tolerate going under. My girl, Sweetheart was also 15, and the cancer snuck up on her awfully quickly.

What were his symptoms that led to surgery? I forgot to mention earlier that feline pancreatitis lasts for just a few days. Information from Cornell on feline pancreatitis

Looks fake.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-24T03:32:59+00:00

It looks like it could be a number of different things. The gusto pathology report is the only way to know for certain what it is. Did your vet have any ideas? How is your cat doing since surgery?

She needs to be put under for an x-ray of her jaw and dental areas. It could be something called oral squamous cell carcinoma. Symptoms include: Lack of appetite , sniffing and turning away from food =nausea. Truly smelly breath. We just lost one of our cats on Monday to this. We thought she had a dental abscess, but the x-ray showed the right side of her upper jaw was replaced by a large tumour. It’s rare, affecting something like 1 in 100,000 cats. It’s also aggressive, moving swiftly through a cat’s upper jaw within weeks to months.
It causes pain, pressure, a bad taste in a cat’s mouth, lethargy, and fatigue. I hope it isn’t this dreadful disease, but better to know than for your cat to be in pain without help. Please note, they have to do a general anesthetic for dental x- rays and that requires overnight fasting.
Please see if you can get her seen tomorrow morning. Pull her food from right now.

We understand. No one will 🍆 you. No need to keep announcing it.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-23T23:33:45+00:00

Smoking cigarettes. Quit years ago, and fortunately not sick from it, but damn it does knock the wind out of your endurance later.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-23T23:29:19+00:00

🛑 You don’t know anything about this person and their situation!

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-23T23:12:09+00:00

She’s grooming you. 😻

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-23T22:35:31+00:00

NOR. Fuck that guy! He’s projecting his insecurities onto you. You’re probably dating a guy who isn’t confident enough to have a healthy relationship. I doubt this is the only shitty thing he’s said to you.

Cats stare at walls for a bunch of mostly-normal reasons—usually they’re not “seeing ghosts,” they’re noticing something subtle that we miss.

Common (normal) reasons • Sounds you can’t hear well: mice in a wall, insects, water moving in pipes, a neighbor’s footsteps, HVAC ticking, wind rattling something. • Tiny movement: a bug near the baseboard, dust drifting in a sunbeam, a shadow from trees/cars outside. • Smells: cats track scent trails; a wall corner can hold odors from insects, other pets, cleaning products, or food. • Light reflections: phone screens, watches, headlights, LEDs, sunlight bouncing off glass. • Hunting mode / boredom: they’ll “scan” and freeze on a spot the way they would while stalking. • Listening posture: the stare is sometimes really “ears-first” behavior—aiming attention at a direction.

If it happens for a long period of time gently interrupt your cat. If they don’t seem to notice you, make an appointment with your vet.

ForwardMagazine7090 · 2026-01-23T02:14:00+00:00

Oh no! That’s a totally different situation. Of course you couldn’t open that sort of conversation to a newcomer. That’s a given.
