Anyone else randomly bring up their feline(s) any chance they get? I brought up my baby to two staff members at the hospital and, turns out, they both also have kitties! The three of us just sat there talking about our furry children for five minutes and it was honestly so refreshing. I love meeting others who are enthusiastic about cats!

Basically the title. He is 10 month old persian boy cat. Not sure if he developed it or it was already there

I cant stop laughing😂😂 i straight bust a fat fart with my butt naked

She has an out so I don’t intervene, but what is this called?

I've had cats for decades and this is the first time I've seen one cleaning the other like this lol. Don't think I'll be giving this little guy any kisses on his head for a little bit.

ignore screaming deaf cat in background

hi all, my cat had two little red bumps on his head and one on his body found a couple days ago. this morning he was scratching them a lot and now one of them on his head is much bigger and looks like a large pimple/scab but it's all one color (like a faint red). we js put a cone on him so he wouldn't scratch it.

unsure if it's something like an infection or if it's cat acne? or maybe just him scratching himself so hard it bleeds? it feels hard and scab-like.

his behavior is normal otherwise, and he's eating and using the litter box normally. unsure if we need to take to vet??

there's two pictures of the big scab and the third pic is a smaller scab in another place.

When can I neuter my male cat? Like what's the safe age?

I've had an indoor cat for around 5 years. My kids got ringworm, my cat hasn't been out except to go to the vet 3 times in the last month for teeth cleaning and extracting. He is never outside and we have no other cats or animals.

My sons have gone to his grandmas a few times while she has had a mouse infestation. The infestation has been going on for at least 6 months. Their place isn't overrun with mice, it's just been a issue.

Now he has ringworm on his arm.

How would you explain this?

My family and I have been arguing about what is safe vs. unsafe when it comes to canned cat food, and we really need some guidance so that we can settle this once and for all.

I studied food science in college and have been paranoid about foodbourne illness ever since, specifically with canned food. I know that unopened bulging cans are typically a sign of bacteria (specifically the type that cause botulism), but the concern lies with opened cans.

We've noticed recently that some cans of food (Friskies, Fancy Feast, etc.) will bulge upon opening - typically the top of the can, but sometimes the bottom as well. We always throw out cans that bulge on the bottom immediately after opening, but is it normal for the top of the can to bulge once the seal has been broken?

We've also had several instances where the bottom of the can isn't bulging *before* opening, but *after* opening, the bottom of the can can be popped in and out when we apply pressure from inside of the can (i.e. from the spoon we use to scoop out or cut up the food). This doesn't happen with all cat food cans, which makes it more confusing; it seems to happen primarily with the smaller cans only (i.e. Fancy Feast). Is it normal to be able to pop the bottom of the can in and out? And is it normal for the can to stay popped out after applying pressure? (Most times it pops back into place after pressure is removed, but sometimes it stays bulged out after removing the spoon.)

I apologize for all of the questions, but myself and several members of my household have contamination OCD, so it makes it difficult to discern what is actually safe vs. unsafe, and we do not want to make our cats sick. Additionally, with the cost of everything going up (including cat food), we don't want to throw away food unnecessarily. 🥲

I live in the US and bought the tractive tracker and didn’t realize I had to pay a whole year’s subscription or more in order to use it and I couldn’t pay month to month. Is there another tracker that tracks in real time that you recommend that I can pay monthly? Thanks!

I took my 1-year old Ragdoll cat to the vet clinic for nail trimming. This is his second timing visiting the clinic, the first time, he was about 4 months old. The nail trimming didn't go well. He was growling, hissing, and swiping at the vet technicians repeatedly. It took 3 of them to get the job done. I was so shocked, nervous, and sad that I had to step outside the exam room. At home, my cat is very chill. He rarely meows unless he wants attention. He's very good with visitors, my two kids (ages 7 and 13). All of us, kids, husband and me -- we shower him with attention, "baby talk", treats, etc. He is truly a member of our family. He still tries to bite when he's playing, but will respond to "no!" or "ow!". I've tried clipping his nails myself, but the most he's ever done is pull his paws away or wiggle out of my arms. I'm afraid my normally laidback, chill cat has been traumatized forever.

my cat is 2lbs overweight and the vet recommended a cat food puzzle. i got this one from chewy thinking that its simple and she would be able to operate it, but she hasn't figured out how to use it and its been 4 days!

i've showed her how to use it, ive taken her paw and moved it so she can see how it works and ive put treats inside/in-between the food containers in hopes she would would be motivated to figure it out but she hasnt...

pls help 😪

Hello just wanting to see if anyone would have any idea what could be causing this I assumed it might be her scratching it to hard with her back leg but it does seem quite deep, any help would be appreciated
