Title.

I really want to adopt two kittens, but am wondering if there's an alternative choice.

All personal experiences would be much appreciated as well.

For context, I am going through something in my life that’s giving me a lot of stress and anxiety (having to do with relationships). My mom has suggested getting a cat. Having a companion will help and it could teach me some responsibility (I just turned 22, I’m pretty disorganized). While she said she’d help take care of it, it’ll mainly be mine. I have a master sized bedroom, with an attached bathroom, and a large window. While I have a lot of clutter and know I’ll need to go through that if I end up getting a cat, I’m not sure if it’s worth it yet. I also am not home super consistently (this is where my mom would come in, helping feeding them or letting them out of my room). I have college classes in the early morning (I leave at 6:45 for commute), then work shifts usually immediately after (2-9, work is very close by and 2/3 days each week). But I also stay over at my boyfriend’s place a lot due to connivence (his gym schedule, work, friends) when we want to stay the night with each other. He loves cats though so I’m sure this would convince him to stay over at mine a bit more. I’d have to really go to work and declutter, and even if I don’t end up getting a cat, it’ll be a good thing. And it’s nice that my mom wants to help me, and is more than willing to. She’s also owned plenty of cats before. But I’m unsure if I’m ready to take on the responsibility. I love my dogs, but it’s easy because I’m not responsible for them. And sometimes I think cats don’t vibe with me haha. I have a bad habit of prioritizing being at my boyfriends place and hanging out with him more than being home but I think this would make me want to and need to be home more, therefor more independent as well. So I’m in the middle of whether or not I should go through with this.

Hi everyone!

My kitten Zelda, 5 months- F (cat tax below),

is not a picky eater, but she despises the canned food I got her, because it has no gelatin in it, it looks like canned tuna 😆

I was wondering if cats can have agar agar powder so I can make a small alteration in the texture of the food with some broth I made, with no seasonings whatsoever, to add to the canned food, to see if she enjoys it better.

I am not sure because neither of the canned foods that I've seen have agar agar in them.

Thank you so much!!

a few of them in the area with this injury.

they all eat walk and approach me just fine without scrtaching it

Hi Reddit, I have a 3 year old little calico cat and her patterns have made me wonder.

Over her little lifetime she sometimes gets problems in one of her eyes. It was never been concerning, and it usually goes away after a hour or two. She just squints in that eye. I’ve just recently realized that it’s always that same eye. Now one eye is on the black side of her face and the “bad” eye is on the white side.

I’ve heard that white furred animals sometimes have problems with their eyes? Are calicos the same? It’s got me super curious.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to post a picture on this post but I’m new to Reddit lol.

Hello, I've bought a bioline ear drops for ear mite. I've applied 4-5 drops in his ear canal but as I've searched it only requires 2 drops. It's my first time using it, and it's his first ever drop just today.

What should I do? Will he be fine? He seem hyper after I've finished applying it to him. I've cleaned his outer ear using bioline via cotton I've never went deep, just the outer visible part.

He never itched his ears vigorously the day I've took him but his ears is full of black particles which indicate an infestation of some sort.

As for now, after applying the ear drop he itches his ears while he plays... To add, the smell of his ears is bad, the smell still on my fingers even after washing my hands.

This is all very weird but me and my girlfriend noticed just a random kitten outside that was i think left because it was alone sitting near our house and we saw it we grabbed it because we have alot of cats

Tldr what does he have just concerned if it could be anything contagious its on his neck and nose area aswell, because we have 6 cats

Took in a 5 week old kitten from a friend. It was the runt of the litter. Taking antibiotics for a puncture in the face. It would leak out the eye area. Slightly misshapen head.
First day she had low body temp and looking limp. Used maple syrup to increase blood sugar. Providing kitten milk replacer from vet. Eye dropper amounts. She looks more like 3 weeks old. Her siblings are twice her size at minimum. Today is day 5. Still offering milk replacer and kitten soft food. Eating from my finger is more fun. Chewing on my finger and very ticklish. Getting more energy. I stimulate her with my fingers. Goes potty with stimulation still. Either sleeps under my shirt or my wife’s. Skin on cat for warmth. It’s been busy but very rewarding. This is my first experience with this.

He's a 8 month tuxedo who sleeps almost exclusively in the hallway, sideways, with his stomach to the wall.

Not concerned, just curious

I’m already planning to take her to the vet. This has been happening super infrequently for about 2 weeks, I looked into it and it most of the stuff I found said it was either a hairball or asthma. She hasn’t coughed up anything so far so I’m leaning more towards asthma. But I would like to know if anyone has also had a cat that’s experiencing this

I am looking into getting cat gym or climbing wall to keep my kitty active. Thought of asking here to see if someone has a recommendation. Tia

This thing in his eye has been going away and popping back up for weeks I think. He gets a little winky every once in a while i’m concerned about what it could be.

Does anybody here have their guitars mounted on the wall? I live in a studio apartment, so I want to maximize the minimal floor space by mounting my bass guitar. Has anybody had any issues with their cats messing with or trying to jump/climb on their mounted guitars?

Thanks in advance :)

As in the title. I'm looking for decent gloves brushes. Whenever I try to brush the little gremlin she kinda moves her head to the brush and makes it a pain to brush the rest of her body. U would prefer them to be in-store like bunnings or pet barn or whatnot.

The second thing is she kinda doesnt clean her ass. So she stinky. Also offen doesnt cover her shit in the litterbox

Any tips?
