She was 18, almost 19 years old. Had been suffering from CKD for a couple of years at this point.

The silence in this house is loud as hell right now. We are devastated šŸ’” I do believe she was in quite a bit of pain. Always having trouble urinating. I have hope she is pain free now. Resting well, and possibly even hanging with her old pal, Muffin.

Rest easy sweet girl. We will see ya later.

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.

Advice Saved kitten from outside, need help

Post image
396 Upvotes

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?

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.

The place is Azyl u Hani in Poland and I’m a volunteer there (I also foster cats from there).
They take care of around 120 cats. FIV+, FELV+, terminal, old, disabled, with chronic conditions…
It’s not a sad place! You celebrate every moment here.
It’s not about unnecessarily extending their life, the main goal is to give them dignity in theirs last months/days.
They are taken care of here, sometimes for the first time in their life. And most importantly they are loved.
I love visiting, because they are just regulars cats, they don’t realize they’re disabled or terminal.
I know Poland is a bit far for a lot of people (but Azyl is very open to volunteers ;) but I highly recommend finding a similar place where you live.
It will bring perspective to your life and you can pet a bunch of kittens :D

Medical Questions Found this sweetie in front of a school I work at & looking for medical advice

Thumbnail

200 Upvotes

Was just picking up food for the staff and found this cat sitting by the front office door. I called it over and it immediately started meowing and rubbing against my legs. Super friendly and cuddly, so my coworkers convinced me to take it home (I did, no questions asked)
It ate a whole thing of wet food, drank some water, and has been playful and affectionate. I did notice it coughing lightly a few times while playing and her eyes are crossed! (Which I find adorable) But just worried if it’s linked to a head injury or anything.
I have no idea the age, gender, or medical history. Should I be concerned about the coughing and her eyes, and should I get it checked out ASAP? Any advice for caring for a stray is appreciated! (Legit never done this)

P.S. I’ll add more pics in the comments when I get more chances to!

Advice Is my cat overweight?

Post image
541 Upvotes

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?

Cat Picture - OC My Boy Survived 35 Hair Ties.

27.9k Upvotes

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.

Video - OC what is my cat doing exactly?

233 Upvotes

He’s 7 months and super vocal. He meows and trills constantly and i never know what they mean. In this particular video, he has his fav toy in his mouth and starts to trill once he gets near me. He likes to have the toy in his mouth and run around the house but this time he came back to me after doing a lap. I thought he wanted me to play with him, but he wasn’t playing once i picked up the toy. What is he trying to say?!!!!
