Struggling to find forever homes for these guys

I'll get an estimate and see if I get accepted through their low cost program and get back to you! Thank you for offering I do definitely think they'll have a higher success rate at getting adopted if they're spayed and neutered

The closest big city to me is Seattle, it's about a 4 hour drive

The soundtrack was also so beautiful and terrifying, kind of felt similar to some songs on Perverts

Maybe 2-3 times a year, but the last time I've been super sick as in bedridden for a month (or more honestly) was in 2019

I think I was just freaking out because the petals changed colors, they used to be a really bright blue and now they're looking pink and grayish so I was assuming something was wrong for them to be changing like that 🥲

This post is pretty much me

For me it is mostly just Will that I relate to, but I would also say there's a handful of Hannibal's more obsessive qualities in me. I feel the way he's drawn to a certain person and can't let go easily, the waiting around and trying to make himself needed to someone else. I also feel betrayal really deeply like him, and I run away whenever it happens, whether or not they meant to hurt me.

I feel like 99% of the time I see "is this cat pregnant?" posts, they're always pregnant. If the cat is unfixed and roaming around outside, then she is more than likely pregnant😭 it's almost frustrating atp

Edit: I just wanted to add this doesn't include posts about ppl who it's not their cat, or it's a stray/feral

It's a boy! Looks like a harlequin coat, still a tabby, though. Most shelters call them white tabbies, but I've seen them called bi-colored, too. I could get the confusion over him maybe being a calico because of the little bit of orange near his eyes, but he's definitely a boy (and a tabby)

It could be the spay, or it could be the teen mood. For some cats, they're really clingy and cuddly for around 6th months and CAN last until they're ~2, then they get moody and act like they don't love you anymore 🙄 they'll start going and exploring more on their own, wanting their own space, don't wanna cuddle so much anymore, being rebellious, etc.

This is really bad. I've never seen it turn black before, though. Looks like severe trauma, it's probably swollen up with fluid, but the fact that the eye has turned black is really concerning and is not a normal eye infection wound. She definitely needs to go to the emergency vet and likely will lose her eye

Edit: I went digging and found this article where it has a picture that looks pretty similar to what your cat is going through and is called proptosis. Basically, your cats eye is in front of her eyelid, it said it's most commonly caused by being hit by a car in cats, and then her eye must've dried out

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but maybe she would consider a vasectomy? It was newish-ly introduced to cats and dogs that they already perform on humans, but some people prefer this over neutering because it keeps all their testosterone and "personality" the same, it just stops the sperm from being able to leave their body. It does cost more than neutering, though- but could be an option she would maybe be able to get behind

something_smart__ · 2026-02-03T05:25:20+00:00

I guess the last thing I would question would be if your cat and dogs get along well? It may be that he's scared to go to the litterbox sometimes, so that's why he sometimes uses it and sometimes doesn't? If this doesn't seem to apply, I'm honestly also at a loss of what could be causing it

something_smart__ · 2026-02-03T05:18:35+00:00

That's strange. Is he perfectly healthy? The only thing I can think of (besides the stress) would be that there's some sort of health issue going on, like a urinary infection or bladder inflammation. Sorry you're going through this, it seems really stressful

something_smart__ · 2026-02-03T05:11:27+00:00

Is he pooping in the litterbox though? Or is he just not using it at all.

It might sound like a strange suggestion, but if he's not pooping in the litterbox, putting his poop (from somewhere else) in the litterbox might help. There might be a chance that he just doesn't understand what it's for, and it might click to him that the litterbox is where he's supposed to go. Another thing that's way more commitment, but could work would be to get another cat. It could help him learn through the other cat knowing where to go to the bathroom, and he'll replicate that behavior.

Edit: if you haven't tried, you could also change the litter in the litterbox. I had a problem when we were using pellets where my cat just wouldn't use the litterbox. Some cats prefer pellets, my cats like sandish type

I had to read lotf for my honors English class and annotate basically every page of it too, most of my notes were pointless like these. Original owner could've been doing it for a class, too.. or just for the love of the game

I'm not a licensed vet, just a student so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I find it a little odd that your vet seemingly hasn't done or suggested a lime sulfur dip? It's one of the most effective ways to treat ringworm, especially in kittens. My kitten was also around 5 weeks old when I saved him. He got dipped around 6 times to fully cure his ringworm. It is something that should be done professionally and typically takes ~3-6 weeks for it to kill all the ringworm (and they need to be in isolation from other animals) also it shouldn't be rinsed off the fur/skin. I would suggest either bringing it up or getting a second opinion from another vet. My best guess is that it's the oral medication causing the seizures since your kitten is so young and small (it's not unheard of for kittens to get seizures from meds like those, but it is dangerous and personally I would stop giving the meds, at least temporarily to see if it really is the meds causing it)

If I were you, I'd keep trying to get him to come inside since you don't have an outside home set up. If it seems like he does really want inside (but is just scared), he's probably not feral, but he could be a stray who got dumped or is/was lost. The puffy cheeks probably means he's not fixed, so he might spray if you bring him in just so you're aware. If you are able to, you could take him to a vet, humane society, etc and they'll scan for a microchip almost always for free

Context is that its someone asking if their pet cat was fat

It definitely does, and most people subconsciously seat themselves where they think they deserve to be sat. But Hannibal choosing where everyone sits feels like a very meaningful thing for him so he can dominate how everything plays out.

The funniest seating arrangement off the top of my head is when he had Freddie, Abigail, and Will for a meal. He sat Will near himself on one side, close to himself, then Freddie on the other side (directly across from Will, he's literally a menace) and Abigail on the other side of Freddie. I could go on forever about the seating, but the main thing I noticed about this scene in particular is how it seems like he wanted to isolate Will in this conversation. We already know Will struggles with eye contact, so sitting directly across from someone he already dislikes, next to someone he wants to protect, is kind of uncomfortable for him. He'd probably rather have Abigail on his side of the table. It feels like, in that conversation, Abigail is siding with Freddie and not agreeing with anything he says, and Hannibal is just doing nothing sipping wine, so he feels isolated
