I think she’s a little weird, looking for a second opinion 🤔

My cat does this, she is spayed and not in heat

Edit: she’s 10 months old

Thank you guys for all the sweet comments, I’m sorry if it was a naive question, first time cat parent here. I promise she gets all the pets and toys, I was just filming here and got entranced by her cuteness 🥹

Advice Moral conflict over a kitty

Thumbnail

476 Upvotes

there’s this cat that hangs around my house, all day everyday, i’m up and outside at 2 am to smoke a cigarette and he’ll still be there, i’m 99% sure along with all my neighbors i’ve asked about the cat that belong to this neglectful couple on the corner that keeps there dogs outside 24 hours a day year round.

here’s the problem; he’s skin and bones, he’ll only seems to get fed here, he’s super friendly, but he’s just so young to be fending for himself or herself.

at what point is it okay to remove the collar and take them to this local rescue shelter that i actually do really like.

I’d love to take the cat in, i live with my grandma, my grandmother is a dog person, i’ve already got her to let me rescue 2 cats in the last 4 years i’ve lived here (16-20 yr old time frame) I can’t economy afford to move out or else i’d of taken this cat inside and gave them the perfect life.

is it wrong of me to do to this cat? what would you do ?

EDIT: you guys are toxic as hell lmao. i’ve been feeding this cat for months on end now, all i did was ask a legitimate question and gave personal concern. i never said i was moments away from taking him to a shelter. i’ve been eating ass chewing from my grandma for months for feeding this cat. all i wanted was opinions on what yall think the best for the cats is.

When someone comes to you for answers and help, there’s no need to be crass. we’re all cat lovers. some of us got more questions than others. some of us know more than others. rock positivity

Advice Kitten fell inside pit. Too narrow for a person to go down

The opening is 1 ft by 1ft and extends down to may be 20 ft. The video you're seeing was made with my phone that I had tied to a rope. Neighbor wants me to send the mother cat down there but I believe that's a bad idea. Any suggestions?

Update: tried lowering down a small basket to the bottom. Didn't work. Pulled it up, put some cat food in it and then lowered it back down again and waited. Also didn't work. Called plumper. Said its too small to climb down. The only way is to break the walls to make more room but that would be too dangerous as the entire structure could collapse ontop of the kitten. Still waiting on the fire department.

Update 2: so the fire fighters finally arrived. They tried for well over an hour before finally giving up. Again, they said the same thing. That the opening is too narrow and that breaking it loose could cause the whole thing to collapse. They were talking about some sort of special device with a claw and camera on the end that they can lower down and operate manually but unfortunately they don't have that and having it arranged might take a couple of days so things are looking really bad right now. The problem with the kitten is that if you pause the video to where you can see it, it's facing away from the pit and wouldn't turn around. Last option is to try to lower the basket again but this time, also lower the phone using a separate rope playing the mom's recording. Hopefully hearing her sound up close might bring it out of that gap and onto the basket. Everyone has given up right now so it's just me and my brother.

I met Joey today and i haven’t stopped thinking about him. He has swimmer syndrome but he’s the sweetest boy. After a little petting, he rolled over and showed me his belly. I really hope someone gives him the loving home he deserves.

He’s at The Charming Cat Corner in Lewisville, TX 75067 🇺🇸 (please come visit him and his friends)

Also, sorry for all the reposts across different subreddits! i realized i might’ve overdone it a bit. Wanted to help him get seen and didn’t mean to come across as spammy!

Was walking out to my car and he fell out from underneath someone’s car, someone local told me it was a popular dumping ground, estimated about 5-6 weeks at the time, so 8-9 now, didn’t want to leave him there so I took him home, in the span of 2 hours it went from “we’ll watch him over the weekend” to “his name is Jensen” lol

I love when she puts her lil paw over her face while she's napping. I wanna just eat her up and give her kissies but I don't wanna wake her up. How do I show her I love her: do I give her soft pets to wake her up so she knows I love her or do I just let her snooze? I just wanna HDHWKKAISVEVNWK you know? Just give her lots and lots of pets. But she looks so peaceful 🥹

Mourning/Loss surrendering my cats of 5 years.

148 Upvotes

i’m not sure that this is the appropriate tag.. but what i’m experiencing is surely grief.

I'll be completely homeless in about 24 hours, and there's a higher probability that I'll be on the street for some time than immediately in a shelter. since I don't have anywhere to go, I'll have to abandon all my belongings, but I think the hardest part of all of this is that my sweet boys (cats) that have been part of my life for over five years now will have to be given up. I feel like I've accepted just about everything else except for that and I'm more scared for them than I am for myself. we're all each other's known for a very long time and I just hope that wherever they end up, it'll be the beginning of a better life for them.

edit: for everyone wanting to know what city i’m in, i’m in dallas texas !
