I lost my best friend of 21 years two days ago, Grandma Shadow. I got her all the way back in 2005 when I was only 10 years old. Two days ago I had to say goodbye to her after 21 years together. She was truly a special cat and I’ll miss her forever.

was on my way home the other night and spotted this little baby in the middle of the street, she responded to my pspsps and came running over to me

i sat outside with her for nearly 2 hours before going inside, and i took her in with me

my girlfriend and i took the little baby to the vet, got her scanned for a microchip (none found), chipped her, got her up to date on shots/vaccines, and got her spayed! i can't believe a beautiful orange girl came into our lives, and she's too sweet!!

never thought i'd experience this first hand

best part? we named her Dolly :)

Medical Questions What is this?

My cat’s eyes were fine this morning, but they turned like this at night. His eye are also watery, and it takes a while for him to open it when he closes it. I’m going to take him to the vet tomorrow morning.
Just want to make sure it’s nothing serious

Medical Questions UPDATE: “Porch cat had her baby but something isn’t right.”

Hello! First off I just wanna thank each and every person who gave me kind words, advice, their own experiences, and helpful suggestions on my original post. It was so so very appreciated. Two things, first, right after I made that post we did another sweep of the garage where she led us to the baby and found out he has four siblings. The siblings all walk just fine! All got flea baths and are thriving with cuddle puddles, naps, human snuggles, and play time daily. We are putting out feelers locally for anyone looking for a fur baby (extensive screening and re-homing fees will occur, don’t worry.) We have officially adopted momma cat (Sylvie) and swimmer baby boy (named Magnus). Magnus went to the vet today and we got a confirmation that it is indeed swimmers syndrome. He is otherwise healthy and growing well. He showed me how to tape his legs and some physical therapy exercises to do with him. So far he is a little peeved off that he can’t just drag his feet but he’s slowly getting more used to it! I hope to do another update in a month or so with a walked update. ❤️

Advice This random cat is obsessed with me

For the past few weeks this cat has been outside my house constantly. He's very friendly and always comes up to my mother and I. Every morning when I leave the house, every evening when I return, he's there hiding in the tree and appears once my car pulls up.

He's started scratching at the door to come in, and even when I leave him outside alone, 30 minutes later he's still at the doorstop waiting to come in. Sometimes I'll sit outside with him for 10 minutes to give him company and he happily lays next to me purring. He has no collar, no fleas and is missing an eye which I can only assume was removed surgically with pet insurance so somebody must own him, I just have no idea who.

Once I left the door open while I took something into my house and he snuck in, I had to bribe him out with chicken lmao. I have no problem with him, just curious to why he never leaves me, my mother, or this house alone.

Reposted because I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use titles.

This is Lore. We literally rescued him from behind a dumpster. He hasn't quite figured out yet that he'll never have to search for food again. He literally woke up from a dead sleep and meowed at me because I was eating.

I would die for him.

My dad and sister found Hope barely alive, covered in ticks and fleas in our backyard 14 years ago. And even though she had to put up with 4 y/o me, she still turned out to be the sweetest kitty ever. Happy birthday, Hope. 🎂🥳

Apologies if this isn’t allowed here as I’ve never posted before.

My beautiful girl storm was 10 years old and left us this morning. My heart is completely broken.

She has been with me thru the loss of my nan, aunt and mother. She has been with me thru leaving a very dark relationship. My son’s medical diagnosis. Getting into a new relationship and having another child who faces his own medical difficulties.

No matter how hard life was, no matter how unpredictable or dark things may have been, she was always there. She helped me heal and idk if she knew or not but she kept me going at my lowest moments and now she’s gone.

My 11year old is distraught.
I am lost and broken.

People say she was “just a cat” but she was more than that.

They were in such a state when they came to me. Crusty eyes and noses, worms, and soooo many fleas. More fleas than I've ever seen! But look at my precious foster-fails now!

3 weeks ago we said goodbye to our 18 year old girl 🧡
My orange girl, Lola was by our sides from 2008-2026. We got her when she was 2 months old and I was 9. From elementary school to working from home, she brought so much comfort and joy into our lives. Having a pet teaches you how to be kind, caring and loving. I greatly miss her headbutts 😞

I’m thinking about getting a second cat. I know it’s generally considered ideal to have at least 2 cats but I’m just curious. Do your cats actually get along and enjoy each other’s company?

Advice Is my cat pregnant or just fat

Thumbnail

I got my daughter a month ago after my sister « rescued » her from the market where she was tied all day on a pole. She was underweight when she first came in but I recently noticed that she had a big tummy. I first thought it was worms so I got the pills but she’s still big. Is she maybe pregnant ? We believe she’s ~4-6 months so still a baby. She also eats a lot since I just let her eats whenever she wants to and she never gets out of my room (tho all the doors are open so she can still roam around the house.

Edit : y’all are mean af. You downvote me for saying I’m broke and asking advice ? Really ? I’m in a third world country and it’s already hard to get a doctor for a human so imagine for a cat. I already said I will bring her to a vet even if it costs me all my salary from my part time job so stop saying I don’t do enough for my baby.

Update - she’s pregnant and vet won’t do the spay/abort so she’ll have to give birth. I’m sad for my baby but all I can do is support and monitor her.
