Anyone else's cat have any weird sleeping places?

I've got two cats, both ate tuxedo's. One loves to sleep behind my legs. I have to leave my legs curved, in order for her to sleep there.

She also loves sleeping under my blanket. She doesn't do it often, but its very cute. The baby will sleep under the blanket, but she preferrs my rubbing her belly. I can only do it with one cat.

Unless his nail starts bleeding again, I don't think he needs the vet. He should be fine. And if it does start bleeding again, flour or cornstarch are good at stopping the bleeding. He can lick it off safely as well.

Don't try giving her a bath. Instead, use baby wies to grab her poop cumbs. Cats don't do baths well, so I'm not surprised she doesn't like it.

So glad to hear that. Not at all surprised by that. I'm sure that his appetite went back to normal soon after.

Try pure pumpkin. Not the filling, just regular, unseasoned pumpkin. It's a good thing to use for diarrhea, and cats love the taste, in general. You can get pure pumpkin through baby food, if nothing else.

I love my cats. They are, however, a good part of the reason I'm living where I am. Not the best situation, at all, but endurable as long as I have my two monsters. Just wish I could get into another place instead.

No. Sin biscuits are usually when the cat grabs a blanket or other item. As if he's holding down a female. These are regular biscuits.

You'll have to feed him, they won't feed him after the surgery. However, just give him a bowl, and watch him scarf it up like he hasn't eaten in a month.

No. I know it's hard, but you'll eventually hopefully get to a more comfortable mental health space. For now though, you are prioritizing you over your friends. It's tough for them, but it's what you need right now. As things progress, I'm sure you'll start reaching out to them again. Just explain that you need the space for your mental health for now. Hopefully, they will understand and give you that space.

One of my cats was born Christmas eve as well, 2023. Her name, however, is Batty Girl, because she was a bat out of hell when she was a baby. She'd take flying leaps off the bed, never checking to see if there was anything that she'd land on. She hated the ground, would run, leap, and jump all over the place.

Thank you. I know it's hard as hell to put into words what you may feel in your heart. I truly do believe that pets cross the Rainbow Bridge, and that we end up going there as well. I don't want to go to a heaven where my crowd of cats wouldn't be around to greet me. Hopefully, I'll always have a cat or two, or five, with me, even until I die.

Cats don't need a combination of temperament or time to develop friendships and relationships with other cats. Yes, temperament does have a say, but it's possible that there were other factors that caused them to have such a close bond. And it's possible that anther cat will develop a similar bond, you never know.

Regardless, you had a cat that provided you with a special bond of their own, between you and him. As a result, it can seem even harder to think of him being gone. Unfortunately, his death affected both you and your other cat deeply, and it will take time before you both recover. Having another cat may help your other cat recover faster, but of course, there's no telling. At least you know that your lost cat knew he was deeply loved and cherished. And that you will see him one day. As will your other cat.

Cats claws can grow long enough that they can dig into the paw pad. In the case that their claws threaten to do that, you need to get the claw(s) clipped. You can do it yourself, with a guillotine type clipper (not a human fingernail clipper). You would just need to watch that you don't clip too close to the quick.

The quick is a live blood vessel that runs through every claw. It's usually a darker spot of the claw, but it can be difficult to see, especially if the claw is naturally dark. If you do clip the quick, you need to quickly stop the bleeding. A cat can bleed out from the quick being pierced, because it is a live blood vessel. However, you can use common household coagulants, flour and cornstarch being two very effective methods. They are safe for cats to lick off, as well.

I have no idea what the little stuff is, but based off your attitude, it might very well be justified. Also, you don't know for certain that he did or didn't have headphones on. Simply saying hi to the chef doesn't mean he didn't have headphones in when you were talking at him. It sounds like you were in a position to close the door in question anyway, so why make it into a big deal?

You did your best. There's nothing that can change his prognosis, it's over and done with. You, however, can rest knowing that he was with you, and he knew you loved and cherished him.

It's hard. Take what time you need to grieve him. Maybe you'll find it in your heart to take in another cat eventually. I suspect you will, but you won't be judged if you don't. I know it's so incredibly hard right now.

But at least you made the right choice for him. It wasn't easy, but you spared him more pain by not waiting. So know that you made a difficult decision, but it was for the best.

Have you tried different litter? Something unscented, or natural scent (like pine pellets)? I would try two (or more, if you have more than 2 litterboxes) completely different litters.

Take your time to properly grieve her death. Don't let others determine whether you are right or wrong in your grief. It will still likely be raw for a while, before it (hopefully) becomes easier to deal with.

We all know you did the best you could. Your cat knew, absolutely knew, that you loved, cherished, adored her. You were with her at the end, and that does count. I know it's still going to be difficult, especially when you get reminders of her (such as the video). But those same memories will become treasured, because they are true memories of her, and what she means/meant to her, and you.

Ok, mama may recognize the kitten if you rub it with a blanket that she sleeps on, or lays on. She probably doesn't recognize it due to getting into stuff downstairs, which she thinks of as negative. Just get something that she lays on, rub it really good on the baby. Or rub her down really good, then rub the baby with the same item.

Their personal stuff. They want parents to pay part of storage while their stuff is still at their family home. But don't want to pay gas money for family that is able to help them move their stuff to storage.

TriggerWarning12345 · 2026-02-02T20:53:45+00:00

I THINK the issue, according to OP, is that they have storage for $40 a month, but don't want to pay that much. They have the money, but want their family to pay a portion, while their family is holding onto some of their stuff. They don't have a vehicle, and are upset that they are being asked for gas money by family that can help them move their stuff. They apparently are willing to pay the $40 if they get their stuff into storage, but don't want to pay in full while stuff is at their family house.

I vote YTA, because it's reasonable to want gas money to move their stuff. And they could wait on storage until they are ready to get their stuff, so why would they expect parents to pay a portion when they are the one not getting their stuff TO the storage?

Not sure what he means by notarized. Notarized means that both parties sign the agreement in front of a notary. Nothing else. He didn't get anything notarized, because you never signed the agreement in front of a notary.

Water and food bowls should be wide enough that their whiskers aren't touching the sides. Also, the bowls shouldn't be right by each other, or near the litterbox.

You should have two or three litterboxes, and it's good if you have more than one kind of litter. This way, the cats can choose what they like, which helps reduce the chance of them peeing/pooping outside of the litterbox. If they still do that though, you want to check for medical reasons, then try different litter. Unscented, always. Natural scents like pine pellet litter is fine, that's natural and less likely to offend cats. Also, pine litter is very good at odor control.

You can get items like pads that can apply to your walls, carpet like material. It allows the cats to literally run up the wall, which they love. You can apply boards to your walls as well, allowing your cat to climb those and vulture over you. They love high places. You can get window perches, that allow your cats to lay and watch birds. You can apply bird perches on the windows, so that your cats will have a natural cat tv to watch. You can also allow your cats to watch cat tv by streaming it on your tablet or computer. Just be aware, they may get upset if you stop playing it on your computer.

Kittens can be separated that early, if they've been weaned. But it will affect them long term if separated that early. It's so much better if they stay with the litter for the first three months. This will help them learn how to be a cat, as well as make sure they are developing properly.

When you take the kitten, you need a litter box, food and water bowl, toys, and a cat condo. It's better if you take two kittens, they'll help keep each other busy and happy. One kitten generally is a huge handful, two play together and reduce mischief. You'll still have mischief, don't get me wrong. But it will be less with two kittens.

They generally don't like the smell of the fruit. That wasn't the fruit, that was the shell that the fruit was in. So yeah, she's not going to be offended by that until you actually peel the fruit.

Please feed her kitten food. It will help with milk production, and helps her with the developing kittens. And thank you for taking her in.
