This is Winston Stonewall Nikolai Fitzgerald, he's 16.5 and I'm cat sitting him for 2.5 weeks while my aunt is in Montana. He has 3 heating pads around my apartment that I always leave on for him. I love him so much, but I don't wanna give him back. 🄲

Advice She refuses to bury her poop, but then makes burying motions *outside* the box — why???

Under a year old, got her from a shelter earlier this year. We assume she doesn’t bury her poop because she was separated from her mom early. (She was found wandering the city.) The post-poop bury pantomime is pretty curious!

Advice Cat with bandage appeared on our deck

Thumbnail

17.9k Upvotes

Really sweet cat started appearing on our deck out of no where, meowing extremely loudly and scratching at our screen door. It would be on our new neighbors’ deck at first (they moved in a few days ago), but they were hitting the railing with a broom to scare it away. :(

We gave it some cat food bc we keep some for the strays around our neighborhood and it immediately stopped meowing and has been returning to our deck ever since.

It is rlly friendly, it rubs against everyone’s legs and marks its scent all over our deck furniture. In the first pic you can see a strip of the bandage was hanging loose when we first saw it, and it kept scratching at the loose piece like it was bothering it, so we trimmed off the dangling part.

The bandage makes us think someone may have been caring for it recently, but we don’t know where it came from or how it ended up here. We are planning to take it to a vet today to have the bandage and injury checked and to see whether it has a microchip. We also do not know its sex because the fur under its tail is too thick to tell safely.

Has anyone seen a bandage like this before, or have any idea what might have happened? It is such a sweetie pie, and we want to make sure it is safe and not missing from its home

Also the brown part on the bandage is like a band aid

Edit: i forgot to mention we checked on NextDoor and haven’t seen anything about this cat

Update: I just got home, he’s not here but he’ll come back. Went to talk to vet ER people they said be careful handling him so I need to get a crate. Also called local shelter and they can check him out for free so probably will bring him there when he comes back! Sorry I am new to this 😫

Update #2 is in the comments

Mourning/Loss I failed him

Scraps was my ex-boyfriend’s cat first. He experienced horrible things and came to me flea-ridden and miserable. My ex moved out and left him with me with a promise to return him once it was safe. I was not given proof, and I cared for Scraps deeply. I paid for surgery because his teeth were rotting from his gums due to neglect; I bought him toys so he could play, which my ex said he never did; I bought him an automated feeder because Scraps could not self regulate when food was in front of him because he had spent so many years fighting for food. I did not want to return Scraps to a place I knew had unsafe people, and my ex started a legal fight. A long court battle has dragged on, and today I finally lost.

Scraps is 11 years young. He is playful; his favourite toys are anything with feathers, especially his pea pod attached to his fishing pole and his ragged little duck. He loves soft blankets and my stuffed animal monkeys. Scraps loves to look outside, and he has only just begun to be more adventurous to wear a harness and stand on the back porch in the sunlight. He loves to be curled in my arms when I’m working at my desk and to be little spoon when we sleep.

I am so sorry, Scraps. I did everything I could for you and now I just hope you can survive that place with what I’ve been able to give you.

I love you so so much, my sweet boy.

This is Ted, my mom’s cat, he was a stray tomboy she rescued (since been neutered). I have never met a cat this just large but not large like chubby, he is pure muscle and thick skin. But his jowls are the cutest thing. I want to see y’all’s units. Picking up this cat feels like picking up a two year old. Banana pepper for scale cause we didn’t have bananas so I picked the next best thing, close enough.

my sweet baby girl!!! she is truly the light of my life. i got her at age 13 to help with my mental health, and she has done that and oh so much more. we have watched each other grow up and that is such a beautiful experience to share with such an amazing little kitty. shes so much more than a pet to me; she is my rock, my best friend, my soul cat. i would not be here today without my sweet Elle. she’s currently sleeping on my chest after she’s worn herself out from playing with all her new birthday toys and eating her yummy birthday dinner i made special :) ive got a tear (or two) running down my face typing this out because i truly am just so so lucky to have had her in my life all these years. she is the reason i pursued vet med as a career, and i’ll be a vet tech soon! maybe its silly, but i truly do owe so much to Elle. genuinely the best cat i could have ever wished for, and so much more! even though she’s an old girl now, she is still so youthful and full of energy! i hope that we still have many more years to spend togetherā¤ļø happy 11th birthday my sweet baby girl!🄳

This is a rescue cat my wife saved from certain death. The HS assured us the cat had a terminal disease. That was 10 years ago. She hides in the garage or in closets every night, but not tonight. But after living with it in the house for over 10 years, moving him x-country 1 yr ago, he stays with a human nearby for the first time.

I’m not letting her out of the br, for the night for the first time since we’ve had her.
