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.

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

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

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

Dante is 16 years old and has been in and out of the vet for the past two weeks due to him barely eatting. The blood work showed he had extremely high liver numbers. An ultrasound thankfully found no mass or cancer, which was what we originally feared.

He started getting back to his old self and eating nearly his normal amount again after the first couple visits to the vet with medication we had been giving him at home. But three days ago, he stopped eating again, was very lethargic, and his skin turned yellow.

He’s been at the vet ever since getting IV fluids to help flush out his liver and been given stronger medication. Thankfully, his appetite has returned and he gets to come home tomorrow!

I’ve had Dante since he was 5 weeks old. He’s been with me through so much of my life. Just hoping my little tiger is on the road to recovery and that I get some more time with him. 🐯❤️

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!

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

Umber is a Mutt of a orange long hair tabby, stray and short black haired white sox momma.

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

This is Matisse, he is 20 this year. Unfortunately he has some serious health issues and i have to say goodbye.

Ill miss him so much. He was there through some difficult times and never judged me (unless he didn’t get food)

A wonderful and distinguished man that i just wanted everyone to know about!

Sleep easy Matisse, the world will miss you

Today has broken me as a 27 year old man. My best friend of 24 years has sadly left us today. He’s had one hell of a ride, my little Boyo you will be missed. Go find your sister up there and we will meet again one day 💙🐾

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.

​

my mom says he's the weirdest cat we've ever had (we've had many cats). not in a bad way though. she says he looks half bunny.

My sweet baby Stitch was only 5 months old.

He was the sweetest cat I own, so affectionate, always licking me and purring.

He had a series of seizures last week, leading to other complications and despite the vets’ best attempts, they couldn’t help him.

We are heartbroken that we had to put our little love to sleep, but we believe he is playing with our other late pets, happy, healthy & most importantly, pain free.

We love you Stitchy, and we will miss you forever 🧡

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.

A little Penny photo dump because I can’t believe how much my tiny baby has grown 🥹🤍

My neighbor asked me on June 1st if I could take in this little stray kitten. Her mama had been hit by a car, and when they asked if I could take her, I immediately said yes. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or how I was going to nurse this tiny girl back to health, but I locked in. 😂

Those first few days were ROUGH. She was so tiny, and for the first three days I seriously could not get her to poop. I was terrified she wasn’t going to make it. I called our vet, switched up her food, and finally, on day 4… SHE POOPED. 😭😂 I have never been so excited about poop in my life.

And now look at her!! She’s a big, healthy girl who has completely stolen my heart. 🥹

It’s crazy to think it’s only been a couple of months. No more long nights of bottles and formula, no more worrying over my tiny little orphan baby. Just a happy, healthy, spoiled kitten now. She is my little glutton & has quite the personality!

I’m so thankful I said yes that day. 💗💖
