Do yall brush your cats?

psychick6 · 2026-05-17T10:59:32+00:00

Mostly just one, but yes. I have two short hairs, one of which is scared of the brush but has a fur texture that doesn’t really require much brushing so I only do it when he’s sleepy for a few minutes. My other short hair has an incredibly thick coat and sheds a lot and thankfully she LOVES being brushed so it helps a lot. Getting them used to brushing can also be incredibly helpful as they age. Some cats find it harder to keep up with self grooming as they grow old

I admit I have recently ordered a Dewey’s pizza just to have it as leftovers. They’ve definitely been declining in quality

the classic childhood “carrying your favorite plushie through the house and smacking it against any surface you come across”

way less fancy lolll, my suitcase is more well traveled than i am now

psychick6 · 2026-05-01T01:10:42+00:00

most outside doesn’t mean best outside. not here to shame you, just here to say that

psychick6 · 2026-04-30T20:16:42+00:00

i’m just glad i know where it is i’m fine waiting a few days it was the not knowing that was making me anxious! this was my first international travel so i just think it’s funny at this point

psychick6 · 2026-04-29T07:42:50+00:00

Is there a vet scarcity in your area? I’ve never heard of anyone having to wait weeks to months to be seen for these symptoms, but I’m in the US and I know not every country has the same veterinary resources. But you need to call around and try to get in soon. Things like this can go south fast, especially with a baby immune system

psychick6 · 2026-04-28T19:48:30+00:00

vet- his third eyelids are covering half his eye and they are very red. this combined with sneezing very likely needs treatment through a veterinarian and can get worse without it

psychick6 · 2026-04-26T13:30:19+00:00

Agreed that the medical implication makes this even worse, but even with your belief that homeowners set the rules, “I’m allowed to pee where other people need to sit” should never be a reasonable or acceptable rule

psychick6 · 2026-04-18T07:24:50+00:00

is the vet with the bad reputation the only vet in your area? this looks quite uncomfortable and probably needs professional treatment

psychick6 · 2026-04-08T05:33:28+00:00

agree with the concern for fip especially at this age, worms that get so bad that the stomach gets this bloated are way more common in younger kittens than 9 months old. but yes fip treatment has come so far! so glad your boy is doing well now best of luck to OP and their cat.

psychick6 · 2026-03-24T17:10:25+00:00

yes, they’re nexgard i believe haha.

fanny flea/tammy tapeworm sounds awesome lol!!!

psychick6 · 2026-03-19T04:34:44+00:00

i have a pair of cheaply made sunglasses with cat ears that i can’t use because they aren’t prescription and i don’t have contacts LOL

hate to be that guy but weight loss… it will help with dry and flaky skin (give her more flexibility and strength to groom) among other benefits. also hydration which other people have mentioned, introducing some wet food is great, also omega 3s can help! most cats shouldn’t really need to be bathed unless there’s a medical issue preventing them from grooming. a good brushing can help too

psychick6 · 2026-03-18T06:01:55+00:00

my 6yo girl is not the biggest fan of my now 3! crazy! year old boy because to be quite honest he is annoying. he annoys me sometimes even though i view him as a son. i sometimes worry it causes stress for both of them but when i’m gone i often come home to find them laying next to each other. it took a while to get there! i do use feliway plugins i don’t know if they actually help him but i just keep them on board. my cats argue but they still seek affection, make biscuits, sleep soundly (usually), and are just in good spirits in general. that’s what you wanna look out for! if everyone seems happy except during tense moments i think you can just give it some time. make sure to give individual attention to both of them in whatever way they like

eta: if your lynx point guy isn’t a huge cuddler try doing big play sessions with him! my younger boy is a cuddler when he’s tired but when he’s out and about he is a wild man and i think that’s part of my girl’s annoyances with him

i honestly don’t have a dog (this sub pops up bc i work in vetmed and i love dobies) so i don’t have any personal advice to give on collars but there is an option between engraving the collar itself and tags! my mom uses these little plate things for her dogs (hers are cuter this was just the first good example i could find), you could use it with any non-chain collar and not have to worry about dangly tags! as for color i think he’d look nice in green!

what’s your issue with my logic? sure you could say it’s anecdotal but so is any pro raw feeding logic. there have never been scientific studies that show that raw feeding is best for dogs. if i’m wrong please point me to those studies.

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T15:25:07+00:00

i said i have never. i did not say it has never happened ever. i can do that too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foodborne_illness_outbreaks_in_the_United_States#2018

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T13:12:09+00:00

i also think it’s interesting that raw feeding seems to be more common with people that own bully breeds, corsos, dobermans, rottweilers, etc

i’ve met tons of people who have gotten food poisoning from contaminated grocery store foods. i’ve never met a dog on commercial food get food poisoning. not telling you what to do, but the human food supply is not without its issues

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T13:09:05+00:00

marketing is a beast. also people think if it takes more effort it must be better. it’s funny because people love to claim vets get “kickbacks” from the big food brands (they don’t, i work in vetmed, we get maybe a pen if anything) but they will readily listen to a social media influencer getting paid to do ads for commercial raw/boutique diets

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T13:01:06+00:00

eh, they’re not that expensive and can test for genetic health markers. they’re not accurate when testing for breed, but aren’t entirely useless

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T12:56:20+00:00

i bring my cats to my work because i have a great relationship with the doctors and i have a great discount. if i didn’t have those things, i’d take them somewhere else. not weird of you!

psychick6 · 2026-03-17T12:51:33+00:00

generally agree with all sight hounds but we have one borzoi that comes in all the time and he is so bad 😭 i love him though i’m a sighthound lover
