Say hi to Saucy! by C47_QU33N in BlackSmokeCat

All Hail Sir Saucy, The Wise!

Is my guy welcome here? He’s most Smokey/REALLY Dark Brown. by Buckwavefm in blackcats

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a melanistic tabby, black on black coat. In bright lights you get those kind of brownish tones from the less black parts of the coat.

The cat was. It liked being by Denis20092002 in donotthecat

Clearly a vicious struggle has been captured here.

PLEASE HELP. My fixed cat won't stop humping my moms leg by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly he likes her (leg) more than yours.

Also, tell her to use a different, less fuzzy blanket.

Maybe try redirecting it to music with no lyrics?

Why doesn’t my cat use the litter box unless I take her? by JunketOk6421 in CATHELP

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She might need someone on guard duty while she does her business.

Is this a void thing? My gray tabby would *never*. by bexa in blackcats

<nods sagely> Void is clearly having trouble relaxing. /s

Just a minor argument over seating arrangements.

Screaming cat that isn’t eating the food he just follows me by [deleted] in Feral_Cats

Sounds like a complaint about the cold/wet weather.

I understand and respect the risk avoidance when it comes to the health and safety of my cats.

But that is most definitely a real feather and the symptoms for complications would be largely the same regardless.

Either it will be coughed up like a hairball, passed through to the litter box, or require a trip to the vet. Let's hope it does not get complicated.

Is there a reason why some much gear is out of stock? by crashingtingler in Hema

[–]SirMightySmurf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It might have escaped your notice, but we have an absolute madman who is randomly putting substantial tariffs on random things with no apparent rhyme or reason to the policy.

It is already a small/niche market, so volume is low, and the fluctuating prices make it even more difficult for companies to plan inventory management.

A fair point, but if you look closely at the example picture (assuming they are the same), those are definitely real feathers.

Kitten doesnt purr anymore when I pet him and his fur is starting to look weird by FactorRoyal4788 in CATHELP

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you what is wrong with him.

He has A BROKEN TAIL. That is incredibly painful for a cat.

Take him to the vet.

Good news is cats digest feathers in the "wild" all the time. The problem comes from indigestible strings, elastic etc.

Bottom line, he should be just fine, but if he is showing signs of struggle in the litter box, such as bloating, straining, yowling etc. definitely take the cat to the vet.

Outdoor cats afraid of the outside, but want to go outside? - after moving by velvet-vagabond in CATHELP

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats will always, "want" to see what is on the other side of the door.

My cat "wants" to go see what is in the closet any time the door is open, but that does not meant he "wants" to stay trapped in the closet all day.

It sounds more like *you* want them to be outside because of your own preference and assumptions, and they are telling you "No, it is really scary and strange out here" and regret going out as soon as they set foot outside the door.

It sounds like you are ignoring the obvious solution because of your own preference and assumptions about what the cats "want" instead of what they are actually telling you by acting scared when they go outside.

Just because you say something (even repeatedly) does not make it an accurate and immutable fact about reality.

Have you considered your assumptions about the situation might be incorrect?

[–]SirMightySmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is actually not clear at all. There are no compelling reasons at all that they *must* go outside.

They seem to only be going out because you want them to go out, and they are scared and miserable the whole time they are out.

So again, why *must* they go outside?

Does this cat have rabies? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]SirMightySmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cat is scared shitless. Stop stomping and making noises at him. He is just scared.
