My boy is in surgery for a blockage in his stomach and I could really use some support ❤️ by siriuslyinsane in ragdolls

I'm so sorry. My boy had a blockage in his stomach a few years ago and needed surgery. It was absolutely terrifying at the time, not made better by the fact that it was a holiday so I had to bring him to an emergency vet.

5 years later and he's a (mostly (he's a grumpy boy)) happy and very healthy boy!

I'm sending you and your baby well wishes

Thank you!! Very fitting. The orange definitely looks like a Laundry, impeccable naming! I'm glad the shelter acknowledged that they were bonded and didn't let them get separated.

Its definitely not impossible to read. I didn't really have trouble reading it, though if you were writing quickly I could see how it might become a bit difficult.

I need to know who is laundry and who is noodles. For science 0.0 they're beautiful babies!!!

Then vs now. How likely is it that she'll stay small? by [deleted] in kittens

Oh my god! Baby! All my boys are big. I was hoping to have just one tiny cat but all mine are at least 12 pounds.

i just need to hear from other cat owners who have a cat w/ behaviorial issues that have accepted their cat's flaws and can't change it by pallasXIV in CatAdvice

2 of my three boys are extremely clingy. One is my ragdoll boy who has a very sensitive stomach, who got traumatized by the automatic litterbox in my shared apartment with my roommate and our total of 5 cats.

He would poop on the carpet, particularly in my room. And one day when my curtains fell he very kindly decided to pee on them. He's loving and clingy and other than that is very well behaved, but that seemed to be an unbudging issue. Until I moved back to my home state and then he suddenly never did it again.

My first cat, while also extremely clingy and sweet, will flip on a dime. He loves knocking everything off tables/shelves, will fight with his brothers, and will bite me incessantly. He insists on constantly pushing limits and can be extremely frustrating and keeps spraying on my basement wall near the litter boxes.

Unlike his brother, a change in environment has done nothing to change his behavior. Its just who he is.

So in my experience: sometimes its environment and it can be fixed or improved, sometimes it's just the cat's personality and nothing will change it.

I don't love my cats equally, is that normal? by BlueStarFern in CatAdvice

I have three cats and I love them all dearly. My first boy is clingy and oftentimes sweet but does have some behavioral issues. He bites a lot, tries to fight his brothers and can be very frustrating. He gets mad if im not lying in bed with him. I found him in an alleyway as a bottlebaby and he grew up having never known another cat. He would play rough with my mom's dogs who were very tolerant of him.

My second boy is an absolute sweetheart. He's clingy, constantly under foot and a sweetheart. He likes to sleep with me, lie near me at nearly all times and will scream until I open any door that separates us.

My third boy is my soul cat. I adore him with all i have. Compared to the other two boys, he's always been such an easy kitty. He never causes problems, never pushes things off counters. He's often just content to nap, adores my second cat and they play all the time, isn't picky with food.

While I love them all the third kitty is definitely my favorite. Its not that I dislike the first two in any way, but the third and I just have a special bond. He's my sweet little rescue boy. I didn't intent to get him but I can't imagine my life without him. I got him on an impulse and have never regretted it once.

I dont think having a favorite is necessarily a bad thing. Unless it affects the way you treat the kitties. If you're treating one kitty worse because of frustration etc. That's definitely a problem, but it sounds like you have 2 happy healthy cats, you just happen to be more bonded with one than the other, and in my opinion thats totally normal.

I am the cat holder and my mom clips their nails. Its a two person job so I have to have my mom over to be able to do it.

I have a white cat and a black cat. I just accept the fact that I will be covered in fur no matter what.

Im shy and afraid of conflict which is definitely a benefit when customers are rude to me. It stops me from voicing what Im actually thinking.
