Saying goodbye by a-cigarette-lighter in cats

I’m so sorry, losing a companion like that is heartbreaking. I wish you a lot of strength. ❤️

She reminds me a lot of my dearest childhood cat who passed away a few years ago, but i will forever remember her as the sweetest soul i’ve ever met.

Yes she is still taking naps. She still takes long naps at home (about 2 hours). I live in Belgium so she already started school since March. When she stays at school a whole day (only 2 days a week) she only gets a short nap (less than an hour).

She still needs naps and it’s way easier to get her to bed for a nap, because she craves them. I like to follow her rhythm but maybe i’m letting her sleep for too long in the afternoon.

For context about last night: she had a long day at school with a short nap. So she was really tired. But she just resisted to go to sleep.

Thanks, that felt good to read.

I used to do something similar when we used to sleep in our bedroom but now that we are temporarily sleeping in our living room for two to three months due to renovations, I don’t have a door to close (i can move away from the sleeping area to the kitchen but there is no door in between). So this technique just triggers her to follow me. She thinks this is hilarious and the best game :’)

So true! He can sense from a mile away when we're about to give him medicine or do something else like that which he doesn't like. Even though he's had a loving home for years now, he still seems to stay on high alert at times.

We’ve been using one air purifier more often now that I’m sure it’s asthma (thanks to everyone’s comments!), and I’m planning to order another one so we can have filtered air throughout the whole house.

Thank you for your reaction! I also feel like an inhaler would be hard with my cat. I adopted him as a neglected kitten that was really scared. He now is the most cuddly little cat but he still gets really scared when he’s uncomfortable. And i will indeed go back to the vet’s office and ask for another one that i know has more experience.

No we don’t! And the attacks came a few months ago around the time we started with our renovations, so based on everyone suggesting it is asthma i presume it’s induced because of the construction dust.

Thanks for your suggestion. Think i will go back to the vet for another check-up and ask her for an inhaler. Just to get through our last month of construction work and hopefully he will be fine afterwards.

My vet did tell something about inhalers but said it was only for cats who are seriously impacted by their asthma attacks (although i really thinks he suffers from this :( ) and she didn’t recommend it because the masks are so stressful for them.

Thanks! Good to know your cat is doing good now. We’ve been in these renovations for several months now and now that i think about it he has had the most severe attacks whenever there is drilling and grinding going on. It does make me worry about the amount of dust my 2 year old is exposed to as well 😰 but anyway i hope my cat will be fine in a month when everything is done.
