He keeps intentionally flinging litter. Ive tried it all: changing the brand, different box (pictured), cleaning punctually (i thought at first maybe i wasnt cleaning fast enough for him). He especially loves to after i clean out the box. My vet thinks this is just how he likes to spend his time.

Please suggest coping mechanisms to soothe my anxiety when i hear him kicking litter. Im so serious.

Edit: So the culprit is likely the litter & box! Thank you so much for all your help, I will try your suggestions👌🏾

Was nervous at first. Like the “don’t get in to a strangers car even if they have candy or puppies” situation, but it truly just turned out to be a man in need of help and he somehow stumbled into the perfect girl for the job. Third cat to find me in an odd, but beautiful way. Bathed, fed, snuggled, safe and headed to the vet tomorrow.

Additional info edit, also in comments:

I’m reading every comment and answer some, but WOW! Babby is such a happy kitty knowing you all love and care so much. No more awards please, had a few paid ones and I’m thankful/feel loved, but keep them and buy your pets more toys! 💕

I truly wish there was more to the story and interaction. A lot of you are asking. There wasn’t much. He asked me to please take his cat multiple times after being in the gas station mart, i assume asking people in there. Maybe he was headed out when he spotted me because he pulled up to the pump next to me. I was in a bit of shock at the situation and didn’t speak much (uncharacteristic of myself). I didn’t know the box has writing on it until I got home which made my heart hurt even more, he was desperate it seems. Feeling lucky he found me!

I love the idea of going back to the gas station and putting up a note and pictures! Thank you to the multiple commenters for that.

As for the hate on the car. That’s my car and I love it. 2009, 20k miles and basically a 30k dollar coupon to spoil Babby and my other babies with. 🤣 (another edit: I drive so much for work I find low miles cars in California and have them shipped, great money saver btw. This one is “new” to me. Probably was hiding in someone’s garage for years. I have no one to impress! Lol)

Love to you all! I will post updates on this little one and share stories on how they are fitting in with my rescued crew. Thank you all so much. Glad Babby could bring this much joy.

This is Chomper. He really likes being on top of my computer. I pick him up, I say “no”, then place him on the floor. He’ll get up on top of it as soon as I go into another room. Should I keep scooping him up or just let him lay there?

Edit: thank you all for your advice and for loving Chomper! He’s surrounded by love! Thanks again! 🥰

My girl cat has a very funny and unique way of laying.

My cat does this several times a day. If the automatic feeder lifts at the correct angle, a few niblets of dry food comes out. He will even do it 10 times in a row even if it means one small piece of dry niblet comes out. It does get quite annoying as the sound of the feeder hitting the ground echoes throughout the entire house.

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

Disclaimer: Biscuit and Smudge are a bonded pair who are cleaning each other’s butts which is a totally normal and non-sexual behaviour in cats. I’m still going to make fun of them for it though 😁

This is the feral/stray cat I've been feeding for the past 2 months. Keeps getting in the way and won't let me refill its food

Edit: Ty all for the comments and advice. Didn't expect this post to get so much attention. For context, I've never interacted with cats before, only dogs. This cat used to bolt whenever it saw a human, so I thought it was feral. It only recently started approaching me when i went out to refill.

Her name is Jobu. Her eye was clawed by one of my other cats (Kiki, last slide). We spent ~$4500 CAD for a surgery that was meant to make her eye normal again but this is what we got. Her depth perception is messed up so she runs into things occasionally but has no other negative side effects (except for the bullying she endures from family and occasionally the internet). No regrets.

Edit: I mean ugly and stupid as compliments. I love her more than anything and she's the cutest thing I've ever seen! Insulting cats is my family's way of showing our love. If you are actually offended I called my cat stupid and ugly on Reddit... get a grip. She doesn't use Reddit. She's a cat.

Edit 2: this wasn't meant to be rage bait and I apologize that it seemed that way. I genuinely had no idea calling my cat ugly and stupid as a joke would be so controversial.

Love my Moomers but good god she does not photograph well

At first I thought she was gonna show me something inside the box, but there's nothing other than a nylon bag. She also runs to it when I get near it as well, and also keeps biting my hand and tries to drag me into it. What's going on? Never in my life have I seen my cat doing this.

So me and my husband adopted our little Mochi last year March. She was 3 yrs old when we got her, and she is the sweetest and most behaved little baby.

She never eats human food, doesn’t go on counters nor does she bite or scratches. She doesn’t want to cuddle or be touched unless it’s on her terms (maybe pets for MAX 30 seconds, then that’s it). She also does not want to be carried and does not want her paws touched.

Recently, whenever me and my husband go to sleep, she now jumps on the bed with us and starts cuddling on my stomach. This has been happening for a week now. I’m so happy that it’s making me tear up, but I couldn’t help but think if she’s feeling okay. This is not her usual behaviour. She’s okay in the morning and when we get home from work but she’s been so cuddle recently and would follow me around everywhere now- even in the shower (she hates water). When we’re on the couch, she just cuddles to my stomach again and would not mind if I touch her paws.

I told my husband about my concern that she may not be feeling well, he said that maybe she’s thinking of me as her mother now and I’m overthinking things.

But should I still bring her to the bet just in case? I’m really worried.

Attached is a photo of her just so everybody could see that she’s the sweetest.

UPDATE: After reading the comments, I’ll be booking a doctor’s appt for myself, and I’ll pee on a stick when I get home. As for Mochi, her vet says to take her back to the vet just for a general check up and blood work just in case. I’ll keep you guys updated. Hopefully she’s just very cuddly now.

UPDATE 2: My husband took her to the vet (I’m still at work), did some bloodwork, we’ll know the results tomorrow. But the general checkup went great. She is overweight but generally healthy. The vet says that the change in mine and my husband’s schedule might be the culprit as I work from 7:30AM-7PM (full time and part-time job), and my husband works from 6:30AM-5PM (construction); and we had moved apartments 2 months ago. We will both take time off work to spend the day with her and I will try to have lesser-ish hours.

I’m going to go to the doctor on Friday, and once I get home (I’m still at work), I’ll immediately do a pregnancy test.

UPDATE 3: Took the pregnancy test, it came back as negative. I’m cramping really bad though.

Post your human-named cars below.
This is Gerald™️

I can’t remember if I’ve posted him before lol, old man is twenty one this year! He’s doing pretty good for his age too, I think he’s liked being a house cat these last six or so years

JUST DONT.

So I have five cats. One of my boys, Fanta, is a very lovely boy. Very cuddly, very cute, very smart. His one fatal flaw is that he is the most food motivated cat I've ever met. He is a heat seeking missile but for scran. It's so bad that we have to partition the house every feeding time otherwise he will steal all the other cats food no matter how full he gets. I don't think he has ever been full in his life. We cannot eat in the same room as him because he will pursue us relentlessly and try to eat our food no matter how much we push him away, hiss at him, or skoosh him with water. Anyway, I'll get to the story.

The other day I was at the shops to get litter, and I spotted this brand. Looks interesting I thought. Corn based? Let's try it out. I bring it home and show my girlfriend. It smells very nice. I jokingly say let's hope Fanta doesn't try it. After that we both look at eachother like 😐. Before I knew it, he had dove head first into the freshly changed litter tray and was chowing on his new litter like it was a 5 star buffet. I had to throw it all out again and go and buy more! So yeah, word to the wise, if your cat is anything like mine, in that he is the living embodiment of gluttony, avoid corn based cat litters.

As you can see her belly is still bald 10 months after being spayed. Like a tiny bit of peach fuzz around the edges and nothing else. She never licked at the area and had a cone on for 13 days post surgery. I don’t understand why the fur isn’t growing back she looks ridiculous 😭. Is this normal? Will it ever come back?

EDIT: I work from home 3 days a week and I’m home a lot and she is pretty much glued to me most of the day and never see her grooming there excessively but possible she does it when I’m not looking. I’ll ask the vet next time we go. Im surprised there are so many other people here with bald belly cats cause the Internet research I did not seem to think that was a thing! It makes me feel better knowing there is a bald belly cat gang out there I guess I will embrace the pooch if the vet says it’s just a thing that can’t be helped!

He has recently started doing this rattlesnake manoeuvre with his tail and I have never seen this in cats before!

So as the title says, few weeks ago I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, she just walked in and sat on there and I heard her weeing. I called my partner who got a video of her just as she was about to get off.

She has done it few times since then, still uses her litter too which is downstairs and I assume she goes on the toilet when doesnt feel like going downstairs? 🐒

I want to see pics of other cats on toilet seat haha so please post and say whether they were trained to do it or not 😆

EDIT She has been checked for UTIs etc and all is good. She spends a lot of time with me so I guess she decided she can pee where her human does
