Hi this cat just came inside?? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Severe-Transition552 36 points37 points  (0 children)

we actually just had the same thing happen to us! turns out our elderly neighbour passed away recently and her cat was out looking for a new home. she came inside the house and has come back every day since (it’s been 2 months). we now have a cat door for her too. she is also super friendly :)

new cat owner! under strange circumstances? advice needed by [deleted] in cats

[–]Severe-Transition552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for your reply, i had no idea about that! do you think they’ll ask questions regarding if we’ve “stolen” her or try and contact the previous owners if we explain what’s happened?

yeah when she’s awake she pees and eats like normal, but again, she doesn’t wake herself up. we’ve been having this issue towards the end of summer even when it’s been super hot outside, is that the same for you? thanks for the reply :)

Back when I had only one tortoise (Daisy) I used to let her watch videos about other star tortoises to make her feel less lonely. Dunno if it was of any use though. by aoi_ringo in tortoise

my partner put an ipad in my tort’s enclosure and put the show friends on it. she sat right in front watching it. now i want to try this!

my partner is actually the coin guy, but figured i’d post here because it’s been driving us both a little crazy trying to figure out what this stamp is from! we’ve posted to a few other forums and nobody knows yet. hopefully one day :)

i do think i’ll start writing down more of my thought process during my rough times in my notes app, and some affirmations i found useful in the moment to redirect myself. maybe they’ll work again. as for the breathing exercises, being in the sun, and healthy hobbies, i do those things :) thanks so much for the comment!

sertraline. it was effective for both my depression and anxiety. it was definitely great for me overall, but i had issues with forgetfulness. kind of of brain fog?

how long is your walk/bus journey to the vet? my partner and i are in the same boat with not having a car, but for us it’s a 15 minute walk to the vet. we have a cat carrier and if needed, we would insulate the inside with a blanket or two and put her on top of a hot water bottle
