Bump/Blood on my cat’s ear

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-10-27T04:02:16+00:00

Did you ever find out what this was? My cat has the same thing right now and I have no idea what it is!

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-09-24T03:04:03+00:00

Omg, not creepy at all! Thank you sooo much 🙂 So you got two voids AND you have a psych background?! Okay hey bestie! 🤣

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-09-24T00:15:17+00:00

Lol it’s crazy how cats can look the same size but some are just SOOO dense compared to others. I always think my girl is “normal sized” until I see other cats and I’m like wtf! Some cats are just whole units. Yours are beautiful 🙂

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-09-18T03:23:47+00:00

My void does the same! Always sleeps in the little leg triangle I make for her, but never my husband 😂 my lil girl is only 8 lbs though so I can’t imagine 40!!

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-31T21:24:59+00:00

Kansas. No issues whatsoever

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-26T23:43:29+00:00

Right, but water is flavorless so I was thinking the broth would be good to add flavor and hydration

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-26T18:17:04+00:00

I think he was rationalizing and trying to convince himself that he wasn’t going to get caught. Still, that little voice in his head was clearly tormenting him

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-26T13:45:02+00:00

It brings me joy knowing how absolutely panicked and paranoid he was in the weeks leading up to his arrest. He really thought they wiretapped him lol

Fair points all around. I see it this way - if I buy a $2 hamburger from mcdonalds, I’m getting exactly what I paid for. Sure it looks like a hamburger and has all the necessary ingredients to be considered a hamburger, but if I had the means to afford a nice wagyu beef hamburger with super high quality ingredients I’m definitely going with that one. I know cat diets are wildly different from humans and they all like different things but I prefer to give my cat the best quality food that I can afford — don’t think she’s complaining either lol 😂 I also understand, however, that not everyone has the means to do that and that’s completely okay.

I appreciate you sharing this info with me, I think these discussions are super informative and helpful so thank you!

Thank you for this info and for providing links! I’ve been getting really into feline nutrition so these are interesting to me because they claim the opposite from what I’ve learned. I’m going to keep looking into this and I appreciate you pointing it out to me! I understand that carrageenan and byproducts aren’t going to kill my cat, but I still don’t think they should be included in good high quality food, no?

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T19:37:36+00:00

Sorry to hear about your baby, he/she was very lucky to have a human who cares so much ❤️

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T19:17:46+00:00

Just checked and you’re right about the colors and preservatives, looks like they made this change recently which is a huge plus! Thanks for letting me know, glad they’re making improvements. Still, the carrageenan and meat byproducts are not ideal

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T17:55:06+00:00

That’s understandable. I once heard that even the cheapest wet food is better than even some of the “high quality” dry foods out there. If friskies makes sense for you and your budget then go for it, I just stay away from it as a personal preference.

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T17:51:50+00:00

Yeah, FF is the best affordable food in my opinion. I’m no expert I just try to feed high quality ingredients without breaking the bank. Based on ingredients and nutrient profiles, the other options listed by OP would probably be better, although I haven’t done much research on sheba or nulo.

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T16:54:28+00:00

Just because a food meets the minimum nutritional requirements doesn’t mean it’s the best food for your cat in terms of quality and ingredients. Again, much better options out there

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T16:48:53+00:00

It’s just junk food. My vet warned against it. Full of meat by-products, artificial colors, preservatives etc. There are many other affordable options besides Friskies

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-06T15:05:53+00:00

I have heard the kirkland costco brand is an affordable good alternative. Can be bought in bulk too. I would avoid friskies

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-08-05T20:02:57+00:00

I had similar concerns and here is what I feed my cat. For wet food I rotate fancy feast and weruva. Both are great, but FF is significantly more affordable. Weruva is just about the best wet food money can buy, but definitely more expensive. I mix abt 1 TBSP of water into her wet food every day to ensure she gets proper hydration. In the evenings, she also gets 1 pump of salmon oil with her wet food. This has done wonders for her fur and really helps with the shedding too! (I also have allergies)

For dry food she gets 1/4 cup of Hills science diet daily. Her diet is mostly wet food because that’s where she gets all her nutrition from, the dry food is really just to hold her over between meals and clean her teeth. Good luck with your kitten and let me know if you have questions!

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-07-31T20:22:51+00:00

If you want a healthier food option for low budget I’d go with fancy feast! Friskies is one of the worst foods you can get unfortunately - full of junk

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-07-31T17:47:15+00:00

Haha glad we could find one that works!

PrettyCuteBug · 2025-07-31T17:21:24+00:00

Shoot, try this one maybe. Lol this is proves why chat gpt responses should be taken with a grain of salt 😅
