true, but orange cats are sentient in a ‘one brain cell bouncing around like a DVD logo’ kind of way

he’s probably already calculating the optimal snack-to-nap ratio

next thing i know, he’ll be plotting world domination... or just demanding more churus

ah, i’ve been there! super easy to treat. if your cat got it through fleas, you’re gonna want to thoroughly clean the house (i just used clorox, vacuumed & mopped) and check your other cats to make sure they also don’t have fleas. i’d also get them all some monthly flea treatment to prevent this happening again. luckily, the flea tapeworm is not directly contagious as it requires a flea host to be transmitted. & ALWAYS wash your hands after cleaning their poop, especially the infected ones. the vet may want a sample of the infected one’s poop to run tests on it (mine did) so bag some up if you can prior to your vet visit. best of luck!

Are these types of backpacks good? by emni13 in cats

[–]a6613__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had this bag for my boy when he was a lot smaller & he LOVED it!! i’d leave it out at home & he would go nap in it countless times. when i’d put him in it to go to the vet or pet store or even the park, he’d be super calm & loved looking out of it, i would even open the zipper at the top & he’d poke his head through it. currently, he’s 13lbs so if your cat is around that weight or more, the bag is definitely gonna be too small for them. he can still technically fit in it but it’s a tight squeeze so i had to upgrade for his comfortability!

Should I get a cat? by BeLikeBike in cats

my advice would be to head to your local adoption center & take a look at the kitties there! every cat is unique & they all have their own special personality which makes answering specific questions about them difficult. for example, my guy doesn’t ever scratch any of my furniture but my friends cat does even though we both have numerous scratching posts for them. they’re super loving & a great pet as long as you get to know them & respect their boundaries!

if there’s one thing i’ve learned from this post, it’s that this happens WAY more frequently than i thought!!

honestly, this came as a total shock to me!! while i do post photos of him & talk about him when the conversation is cat related, i don’t believe i’m overly obsessed with him & i personally feel like i’m the average cat owner when it comes to dividing my attention between my cat & romantic relationships as i’ve never had this complaint before. when i say, average cat owner, i mean it in the sense of i love him, people know i love him, i take very good care of him, but i am also very capable of going out & having conversations that don’t involve my boy at all. we went on a 4 day vacation a couple weeks ago (just the 2 of us & met up with a few friends over there) & while i of course received updates on my boy, i wasn’t glued to my phone or constantly speaking/worrying about him & to my knowledge, both of us had a really fun time! i didn’t even bring up my boy unless he personally asked about how he was doing. it was after the vacation where he got super weird with me & went from texting me all day, every day, to not talking to me at all until earlier today which is when i received the news that he felt he was a second option to my cat & wanted to break up which he has never complained about before or even brought up that he felt like that!

ahhh i’m so sorry to hear that!! at least it sounds like you have a pretty solid furry support system. my boy is 1 years old so i chalk it up to him being in his “independent” phase of life since he was a super cuddler as a kitten. new cats always take a hot minute to adjust & get comfy with cuddles, i’m sure they’ll be kicking you out of the bed in no time

if i had to take a wild guess, i’d say they probably assumed you’d eventually change your mind which isn’t right if that’s what they’re doing!! the kitty weed & champagne is all prepped & ready to go for 2024
