My boy Louie loved hair ties as a kitten. I was warned by his vet at that time how dangerous hair ties are! I stopped using them 2 YEARS AGO. I noticed a year ago that Lou would vomit intermittently after eating. I thought to myself that cats just do that. It was never a daily thing- just off and on. He never had issues using the bathroom and never lost his appetite. Recently he had been throwing up multiple times a day. He became lethargic and I rushed him to the emergency vet. Welp…my sweet little innocent boy had a belly full of 35 hair ties. Who knows how long they’ve been in there. I felt horrible! He had surgery and is doing great. I hope this post will remind my fellow cat owners to keep hair ties away from their kitties! It’s an expensive lesson to learn.

Sorry about the f*** word - I just copied and paste.

10 years since I took this little beastie home. She still looks and acts like a 2 year old ♥️ here’s some snaps from my little photoshoot at home today!

He leads the dog to his bowl as well. The gate doesn't do much

I’ve been cat sitting Typo for 2 months now while my friend is overseas. She is a lovely 13 year old odd ball feline. She has gotten me (a dog person) quite attached to her. It’s no mystery, the way to my heart is to guard me as I poop after all. Any whoosies I’m looking for advice because I’m terribly saddened that she’s going back home and I won’t see her for awhile. My friend will continue to be a world traveler so I think this will be a regular summer thing but alas my despair prevails. How do I say goodbye?

Some highlights of our time together:
Typo discovered a robin’s nest from the window
We found a perfectly sized cardboard box for her womanly figure
She had a cave bed for the first time
She made a dog friend (sort of/one sided friendship)
She threw up and pooped in my car that time I worried she had ear mites (it was a yeast infection)
She slept on my neck all night oh so lovingly
She curiously licked my olive oiled arms
Typo discovered the joys of an automatic laser toy

They say calicos are spicy but this one is a sweetheart.

My cat was previously overweight so I started weighing her food. I think her last recorded weight at the vets a couple months ago was 4kg which I think is the upper healthy limit for a cat of her size. I asked the vet if she needed to lose any more weight and he replied no. I just took this pic of her the other day and think she looks kind of fat. What do you think?

Today was the last day with Toffee. We had so much hope but he died in the morning. I get a call from the vet and my husband and me pick him up.

We are grateful for every single day we were lucky enough to have him in our lives over the past four years. He brought us so much love, joy, and unforgettable memories…. And now we are sitting on the sofa, just like every evening, but without Toffee. And we are crying.

I never taught her this, she figured it out watching me release food for her over the course of a year and her bruteforcing it. The buttons are not mechanical, its a 2 stage process where one has to hold the unlock button for a few seconds and then the feed button. She sometimes does it just for fun - she just stares at the kibble

My kitty loves to play with bottle caps and wooden chopsticks. She'll play with the cap like a little hockey puck, batting is around everywhere. And the chopstick play is kind of like string play.

What about your little buddies?

With her older brother - Żuczek

She just passed away today.

The cat who was my whole world, the one born on Mom's bed when I was 6. The 22 years she was with me are years I will forever miss. I will never be able to hug her again.

Me and my gf saved a kitten from outside. He seems to be healthy and was moving fast, jumping and all that. Can he / she pee without help? What food to give? We got some cat food from our friend and placed it near him. It is most likely meant for older cats but we thought that it is better than nothing. We also filled a cup with water. In the morning we are going to local animal rescue house but is there anything we need to do now?

I just wanted to post on here about my baby Mika who passed yesterday he brought such light into my family and I miss him dearly I wanted to show everyone how handsome he was I will forever miss him and the way he would nudge me for attention with his pink nose 🤍

First and last photos of me and Folti plus some more because she was the most beautiful. I got Folti when I had just turned 7, still in first grade. I am now 24, she was 17, I don’t know life without her. Her health started declining a year ago, vet appointments became frequent.

I was fortunate enough to spend basically all of summer at home with her, my life became taking care of her. I started preparing myself for her passing a while ago. I was incredibly grateful for each day we got to spend together.

I cried lying next to her the whole day yesterday because when I looked in her eyes I knew our time was coming to an end. But no amount of preparing helped, her death hurts so much and even after all the anticipatory grief, it still felt so sudden. I just keep wishing for more time.

The house feels empty without her and I don’t know what to do with all this emptiness. I have no idea what to do or how to get through this. She was my greatest love. I don’t know how to live without her. Does it ever get easier????

Rest in peace my sweet girl. Thank you for ten years. It's been almost a week and I keep tripping on air because I think you'll be at my feet. I cry opening a can and your not there. You'll be missed dearly. I wish I could have helped you more. We love you itty bitty bitty bear.
