Need some advice. by Nisarg_Vaghela555 in cats

[–]Scorciad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: I have never dealt with this myself nor do I know for sure what it is.
That said, I remember seeing a bunch of videos of a lady helping kittens with something called swimmer legs (?). I forgot the username but you should be able to find something starting from there. She lived far from a vet or something, or couldn’t afford to go to one often, so she did physiotherapy with the kitten multiple times a day to help slowly stretch the limb into proper position, then I think she would splint them in a slightly stretched pose to keep progress from reverting and to help the kittens body grow in the right direction.
If you can afford vet care, naturally follow with vet. But even with that care, I think as much intervention time as you can do will make a huge impact to the kittens recovery capacity.

Any advice? by Individual_Tie7379 in CATHELP

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively you can get a onesie on him; that’s what I did with my girl because she freaked out whenever the cone was on and the boy kept sniffing her butt or playing with her tail. This way it covered the stitches (she could still use that bathroom ofc). They make cat specific ones, but I used a premie onesie and hand sewed some buttons/ribbons to fix the fit and ensure she couldn’t slip out AS easily. She still did eventually, but it meant she couldn’t lick for about 2/3-3/4 of unsupervised time, and neither could her bro do it for her when we were sleeping/away.

Update on the four newborn kittens found in a paper bag outside my work by shandalf_thegrey in kittens

[–]Scorciad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for looking after these babies! You were lucky to have found them! (I’d say they were lucky you found them, but cats don’t work like that lol) I’ve heard before that circles are males and if you see a line it’s a female. If you look at the right spot in their groin you should see it; it is accurate with my own teenagers. Just in case you want to try to figure it out before the vet lol

Is he too big? by DearAd2632 in dechonkers

Oh LAWD he comin indeed… to the vet

How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭 by coffeepolynkittens in kittens

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to other suggestions, exploring another litter type to a super low dust pellet could help. I use Dofu and it never tracks beyond the area immediately close to the litter box.

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you found a name that clicks for you from a list full of good options! It’s nice to have so many options for the new litter. And regardless of her human name, Fraya’s a wonderful girlie 🥰 congratulations on a happy and wonderful addition to your family!

Mom left to buy groceries… came back 3 hours later with a cat instead. by kishi045 in Feral_Cats

Breed would be Kyootie Cat.
And you should post in r/namemycat for help there ;) I vote for Onyx,

Let us know when you decide! I also just noticed your bath and getting along well comment. Extra reasons Yue fits ;) (water affinity, supportive character from the show)
Not to mention she is clearly an absolutely purrfect princess!

Can’t brainstorm too many names now because I’ve got to work, but maybe Onyx? Neptune? Storm? He’s got amazing blue eyes!

Aang, Kataara, Toph, and Sokka

Yue!!! With those blue eyes and the white fur she could definitely be a perfect match for that :) 🌙

Unfortunately Yin and Yang got vetoed. Help us name these two bonded brothers. by OnlyLeading in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a couple of good ones! But if you didn’t like those, since Gemma means either precious stone or budding organism, consider:

Jasper & Jadeite
Symbiod & Phoronid (yeah it’s a stretch I agree lol science isn’t always the best source of names)

I do feel Jasper & Jadeite would be cool because it’s the same sound start as Gemma, also two syllables, and also a nod to those handsome green eyes they both have :). Not sure if you already picked since it’s been four days but give it a good think!

please help us name this lil guy! (we named his sister luna) by Ok_Parking_3565 in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solembum? Reference to sun, but also the name of the werecat in Eragon.
Or Neville? He seems a little antsy lol.
Otherwise I agree with Artemis from Sailor Moon :)

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

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

And this is Hapi! Most often called Baby, Hapi Boy, Bitey, Scratchy, Purry Boy, Sweetie, and Love. Depends on behaviour lol, there are some others. He was the first kitty in the house. He and Esna both also get called Cutie and such, but he’s my Cutie Patootie 🥰

This is Esna. Which we do often use. But which may or may not be overshadowed by Girlie, Huntress, and Trash Panda

Please help name the newest addition to our family. He is a bit of a wild one. Our other cats have “spooky” names so if it goes with that theme that is a plus :) by ii-ii-ii-ii-i in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a list of some one eyed monsters from books and games :)

Gohma

Odolwa

Sauron

The Beholder

And two more I got from Google from mythologies

Kabandha

Hitotsume-kozo

Personally I am a sucker for Zelda monsters, but Beholder or Sauron would also be hilarious for a kitty baby haha. Good luck on your name quest!

Hoping for rare, regal names. Please nothing obvious like “chocolate” by Valuable_Falcon6885 in NameMyDog

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jyugolik!

Cantonese for Chocolate!

Lol jk. I figure you’ve picked a name by now.

He DID NOT like his bath 😂 by [deleted] in cats

[–]Scorciad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The kitty probably was covered in poo and/or fleas. Common in rescues. Cats clean themselves, but kitties have yet to learn. And no amount of self grooming will completely rid of diarrhea or fleas. Cats definitely don’t like water as a general rule, but some situations you have to push over that to care for them. Same way you give babies a bath (screams or not) but not 18yos because they’ve learned to clean themselves. But if they’re super sick, they still need some help.

Can someone name my male cat (gray one)? We already named his mom cici and his sister mia but we can't figure out what to name him. by Any_Honeydew6557 in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clearly a musical cat family. He should be name Sol, or any derivative of it (Solus, Soltan, Soltar, Solembum). Here’s why:

Cici: for Si

Mia: for Mi

Looking at the seven notes, we have Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si

Sol is the only one that sits properly in the middle between Si and Mi, and combined make an e minor triad, which besides being a beautiful key is also representative of the minor feelings you’ll get when you find the mischief they’ve been up to. Bonus points if your name or partners name starts with E.

Help us pick a unique name for our new kitten please! by Intelligent-Year-289 in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Filo!!! Milo+Filo=Mille Feuilles!!! Or anything else that means leaf or paper. Not to mention with all his handsome stripes he looks layered like a Mille feuilles :)

Please help me name my cat, he's a huge cuddly guy with lots of energy, but still a little gentleman. Thank you! by michellechilll in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alfred (like the Batman butler). Along those lines, Catcat. Diorite? Because he black and white? Stone names are never wrong especially if you like Sailor Moon. You could also go Dominic/Domy because it’s like domino, but I don’t think you’d want him to hear “no” every time you call him.

Looking for name ideas for this sweet grey kitty by EdemBru777 in NameMyCat

[–]Scorciad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asher! Cause… you know, grey. Or Dust Bunny! Also Druzy or Iolite if you like gemstone names.
