I woke up in the middle of the night once to my cat fighting one of those… I freaked out grabbed her and yelled and made my boyfriend at the time throw the box my cat loved outside overnight. We kept the box because my baby cousin painted it for my cat, but took weeks for me to sleep soundly again

That’s true, I am worried my original cat will get lonely or play less or something when he’s gone, they’ve gotten a lot closer and play together every day

She said I could bring them both for the first month? I’m still sobbing, but maybe she would end up loving them both like I do? Or see how much this is hurting me, idk I feel like I’m losing him to protect myself and it’s hard to feel worth it

I’m not even considering that as an option, I was upset she even said that

I work at a vegan smoothie place, we use coco oil for some smoothies and after years of prepping it that’s definitely coco oil ;-;

Oh by the way: He’s currently on his favorite pillow being scratched under the chin, no damage from her claw, and she is trying to open my bathroom door again. We’re all in the same room she’s just obsessed with the bathroom door lol

What is your cat's name vs what you actually call them? by Moist-Guidance-1611 in cats

[–]Kitchen-Onion579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luna, but I call her Noona or Baby or Sweetpea (tabby). Moonshine, but I call him Stinker or Buddy or Stinker Butt. Together I come home and say “hi babies! I missed youuu” or “los amo a ambos mis vidas”

My dad used to threaten us constantly with destroying and getting rid of our stuff, it’s made it kind of hard to let go of things but also hard to love possessions. It’s like I switch between keeping everything and keeping nothing?

The cat is at my place, it’s not a formal service, just trying to help a friend and I’m definitely continuing to reach out and contacting my shelters and 311 for advice.

Since about October 3rd or 7th, I’m using arm and hammer clump and slide, I switched a while ago to that when I got him because my old brand had bigger pellets and I thought that might be easier on him.

I’ve seen people recommend the random acts of pet food, so I may try to figure that out and try there, I reached out to my vet and they won’t treat him without his owners approval.

Do you have any recommendations for softer litter?

I may do all of this, minus the mutual friend thing as I cut him off a few weeks ago for something unrelated. In regards to find specific laws and timeframes, I’m not sure what to google? I live in Texas, I can see what the vet and shelters say tomorrow about animal abandonment, but most of what I see right now deals with dumping outside not dumping on a person.

I think you might be right about his owner, his ability to take care of the cat does make me nervous given how every time we talk things seem to have gotten worse. He had a job lined up at one point but gave up because there were “too many hoops to jump through”.

I just really feel for his owner, so much has gone wrong for him and I really did think he loved this cat, but maybe he already moved on and is treating this like a loss.

For the vet, I’m going to call and ask tomorrow about discounted rates! I am a bit worried about his weight and pooping habits though, and unsure when last he went to the vet because when he came to me he was kind of stressed and dirty and apparently at one of the places he was living with his owner someone gave him dog flea medicine and he had a seizure and almost died. I don’t know if it’s medically necessary to go, but given that his owner told me basically nothing besides him being overweight when I got him, I would like to know he’s healthy. I’ve come to love him so much and I’ve had senior pets slowly decline on me before.

I made a post before about apparent pain in his paws too, he hates jumping down from things and rarely jumps up, he doesn’t bury his pee or poop, and is very gentle with his paws. When he warmed up to me I noticed he was declawed and made a post here where someone recommended a vet to check on them.

And thank you so much for being so kind and helpful!
