She was just born like that.. what is it???

Edit : alot of people think she actually has some mutation. Just to clarify, this was a silly joke (I didnt think this would blow up) her brother lost a whisker and i put it on her head and it made me laugh. (I wish she grew a whisker like that)

Giving a fish-addicted Charlie a single piece of chicken (I gave her canned cat food chicken) apparently warrants an international crisis. She couldn't keep food down for 24hrs after her gourmet betrayal, so naturally, I didn't just worry... I was sitting in the dark at 3am wondering how the hell I was going to survive the heartbreak, how was I going to keep her sister from grieving and how I was ever supposed to move on???

I walked into the vet clinic the next morning looking like a zombie, practically in tears explaining her “tragic decline”. The staff was super kind, but the vet took one look at her, then looked at me with pure concern for my mental stability. Turns out it was just a minor stomach upset from the rogue chicken. Lol

Please tell me I'm not the only idiot who has dragged their cat to the vet because they spiraled hard. What is your most embarrassing vet visit?

As title says. I wasn’t a fan of owning a cat, and always told my gf to please not bring one home. After months of her insisting, we finally agreed to go to the shelter and bring one home. It’s been 9 months now and I’m fairly confident i have the best cat ever. His name is Monoco, and he’s constantly sitting or sleeping on me. This little
Guy even helped me propose to my girlfriend. He had surgery on his eyes while in the shelter due to his eye lashes growing inwards, and is believe to be 6 years old. He was found in an abandoned house.

Edit: typo in title. To answer some common questions
1. She said yes and i am engaged
2. His name is from expedition 33. Love everyone that caught that.
3. As far as i can tell, and the vet, he’s healthy. He does have regular check ups.

But I don’t really care. Based on my favorite photo of my cat.
Hope you guys like the art, I’m pretty happy about how the artist did the very small details such as the whiskers.

I checked myself into rehab for alcohol. I was drinking to numb pain instead of drinking for fun and just needed professional help. My mom volunteered to watch my baby for me while I was gone for 28 days. Without my consent or my knowledge in any way shape or form, she got her declawed because “she was worried about her new furniture”. My cat doesn’t claw at anything but her posts and scratch pads and she is such a good girl when it comes to getting her nails trimmed, she puts up no fuss at all. I didn’t even know vets were allowed to de claw anymore, like how do you call yourself a vet and preform that kind of surgery? I feel like such a failure right now that I left her with my mother. I had other friends that would have watched her but I trusted my mother implicitly and thought she’d show my kitten nothing but love.. That trust is gone, and my baby paid the price for my drinking. I’m supposed to be coming out of treatment feeling hopeful and I feel worse than I have in decades.

I promised I would update everyone, and I cannot believe I get to write this: LINNY MADE IT THROUGH THE OPERATION!!!!!!

For anyone who didn’t see my original post, our 5-year-old cat Linny went outside for the toilet and came back covered in blood after someone had shot him in the face with an air rifle. The pellet was lodged deep inside his head and removing it required major, risky surgery.

Today, they successfully removed it!

The nurse after surgery and the vets are very happy with him. He’s already started purring, rolling around and having belly rubs!

He hasn’t wanted food yet, but it has only been a few hours since surgery so they aren’t concerned at this stage. There has been no worsening swelling or bleeding and, so far, they haven’t seen any complications. He’ll be closely monitored throughout the night and we’re due another call from his nurse later this evening.

If everything continues going in the right direction, we may even be able to start talking about bringing him home tomorrow.

I also just want to say the biggest THANK YOU to this community. The response to my original post has completely overwhelmed my family. Every comment, upvote, share, award, well wish, thought and prayer helped Linny’s story reach more people, and reading through them while we waited for news today genuinely helped us.

After spending the last few days wondering how somebody could be so cruel to an animal, the entire internet has reminded us just how kind people can be.
He’s not completely out of the woods yet, but tonight Linny is alive, comfortable and recovering.

That is everything we were hoping to be able to say today.

AND ISNT HE JUST ROCKING THE SHAVED HEAD LOOK!? 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I thought they were supposed to leave me alone. They follow me around ALL day like children. These pictures are from ONE DAY! I have an appointment with my allergist on Tuesday.

I think I’m gonna need shots 😫

Roxanne my 6 year old tabby has never been left alone more than 1 day. We also never "free-feed" her on kibble (only wet meals and a puzzle feeder). I had a work trip this week, and my S.O. had a family emergency out of town right in the middle of it. We could not secure a sitter, and we were so worried. We do have a pet cam, and I told my SO to put 2 plates of kibble per day plus extra plates in case of a delay. I just got home from the airport to see this. I know cats are not like dogs, and they are probably fine at feeding themselves. I'm just so impressed by the organization of her eating habits!

Was not expecting this beast when i walked in. Didn't realize i was now living in the hundred acre wood. Luna seems to love it so far.

Lord have mercy! Ms. Ivy is a whopping 18lbs! This lovely bowling ball of a lady was a medical surrender. Here’s to hoping we can shave some pounds off and get her to an adoptable weight!

We are located in Southern Ontario, Canada if anyone is looking to adopt a big girl with a lotta love to give 🖤

Meet Thea! We adopted her from a rescue on Saturday, knowing she was born with a heart defect called a PDA. It's a blood vessel that was supposed to close after birth and never did, so her heart has been working overtime her whole life.

Today she had her pre-op consult with the cardiology team at Texas A&M, and she was cleared for surgery. The resident told us it's the largest PDA he's seen in a cat, and her heart is almost twice the size it should be. Somehow she's still here, purring and judging us like nothing's wrong.

The good news is this defect is fixable. Surgery is tomorrow morning, and if it goes well she gets a real shot at normal life.

She's staying at the hospital tonight and we're headed home already missing her. If you have a second, we'd love any good vibes, prayers, or stories of your own heart or surgical warriors. I'll update after surgery! ❤️

UPDATE 1 (10/7): Got the call from the med student that she was stable overnight (& very sweet) and they're proceeding with surgery. She's rolling into the OR at about 9:30am CT and they'll give me another call before starting. Next call after that is when she is out of surgery. No news is good news, so I'll be reading all your comments and love during that waiting period. Thank you again to everyone who's come to leave Thea some love since this was posted last night.

UPDATE 2 (10/7): Surgery started a little later than planned because the team had an emergency procedure to do first. Her surgeon called to introduce herself before they began and walked us through everything. It’s 10:30am CT when they said they were heading in to begin. They're expecting a few more hours, so no news is still good news. I'll update as soon as she's out. Thank you all for holding her with us.

UPDATE 3 (10/7): SHE'S OUT!! Got the call around 12:20pm CT that surgery was a success and she's recovered and resting in her kennel. She'll stay overnight to be monitored and is slated to come home tomorrow, late morning to early afternoon. They were able to spay her while she was under, so no second surgery down the road needed. Thank you all so much for the love, support, prayers and collective good vibes today and last night. I felt every single one of them. We'll gladly accept continued good vibes for the recovery ahead! 💙💛

UPDATE 4 (10/8): SHE'S HOME 🤍 Discharged today and resting in her recovery room. Extended update and a picture of her in the comments!

I just woke up and apparently my cat has taken a liking to my new bins. He seems very uncomfortable and is unable to get out himself. Idk what to do.

He ate an entire hard boiled egg. It was plain… I left it on the counter as my snack. My cat finished it. Google says it’s safe. Anyone else’s cat tried doing this?

I have zero regrets 🥰 she’s the sweetest old lady

This is Bubs. I call her bubbies or bees to be short. I inherited/adopted her after a distant relative was no longer able to take care of her. Bubs has brought me so much joy over the past 3 years. She may look big because of her thick fur but she is actually quite skinny and doesn’t eat much. She loves sitting at the window and chirping at birds. Her fang is so big and is prominent in almost every picture I take of her.

Bubs has had several owners and I don’t know much about her past. I don’t even know how old she is. She was declawed by a previous owner. Bubs loves to sit with my Legos. She is a very friendly cat and I’m happy to be her parent :)
