I am deeply in love for Mr.Manfred and Manfredina (my cats name's), love them with all I got and they make my life so much happier, I work from home and live alone so they're my only company most of days.

But, there is a problem that I knew I was going to have but I think I measured wrong. I can't leave my house anymore! Somethings changes, and now, sometimes I have to travel to my company's city for work, with this, I stay out 3 or 4 days, and Idk what to do with my baby's!

Tbh, these traveling's occurs 2 or 3 in a year, but sometimes I want to leave my house for others stuffs, I supposed to go and staying 7-10 days to beach with my family, but how im gonna leave them here? In past traveling's that I already made, I have a family member who come here to take care of them while I'm out, buts its too much time and this person is not here this days.

I know exists these hotel for pets, but I live in Brazil, and especially this type of service is very expensive in here, 10 days hotel = almost what I earn in a month and I don't have this,, besides that it hurt me so much leave them alone or in a place that is strange for them. I will simply not goint to travel this time, but I'm already thinking what to do along of the year, because there are others planned trips

So we got groceries. I left the passenger door open thinking I'd be back. I was gone so long that the car light turned off. Later I went to get our leftovers, and the door was still open. I thought nothing of this and collected my delicious shrimp fried rice. FAST FORWARD! The next day, I am out with my friend doing her errands and I get a phone call from my mom. "You're cat is in my car I can't turn around where are you?". So I had to meet her at the bank and hope my cat didn't get loose in town. One very hairy car ride later and I got him back home. This is how I found out my cat has a habit of jumping into unattended vehicles if able.

Hello everyone, I got two kittens about a month apart from each other back in August/Sept. Unfortunately my first kitten was sicker than we anticipated (we originally thought she had a lingering URI, then we thought herpes- but after a PCR test and several different kinds of meds later, we found out it was something else that can be outright cured with a few rounds of antibiotics,) and we had to keep them separated up until now. My first girl, Nadja, was a singleton and got along right away with my dogs, but just upon setting eyes on her kitty sister, Mochi she would growl right away. Mochi on the other hand was very eager to meet Nadja as she came from a litter of kittens, but was scared of our dogs. In some time Mochi grew accustomed to the dogs, and both of them have taken quite a liking to attempting to play wrestle their bigger, fluffier dog siblings. The dogs are typically not phased by this, let them do as they please or run away.

Cue to now, I’ve been letting the girls meet everyday. (I currently have the cats separated from the rest of the household as we’re taking it slow, introducing the other two dogs to them at a speed I feel more comfortable with-) It was straight growling and hissing from Nadja at first even if Mochi wasn’t doing anything. They’ve become accustomed to each other and being in each other’s space now. I can get them to play with toys together no problem, and both of them love to wiggle their butts and chase each other mutually. But the one thing I’m not understanding is if their fighting is actual fighting or play fighting. Mochi LOVES to pounce on people, the dogs, anything really and loves to grab and play bite. She does not use claws for the most part and is actually quite gentle despite how crazy and excited she gets. She is constantly trying to wrestle and pounce on Nadja, and while Mochi is completely quiet while doing it, Nadja is hissing and growling like crazy. So I break it up because I don’t want Nadja to be uncomfortable, but then she goes right back and tries to hang out with Mochi. Nadja will also try to pounce on her in the same way, and even if she is the instigator will still growl and hiss and usually end up on her back all the same. I usually end up putting a divider between their rooms when I feel like they should have a break- Mochi has some swelling in her nose that causes some breathing issues, so I don’t like them playing too hard for too long of a time at once; but when I do, they sit by the fence and lay on the floor next to each other and cry for each other. They will play through the fence, even try to climb up the fence, but then I just get so confused with the whole wrestling thing. Are they really just playing and is Nadja just dramatic, bratty and vocal? I was thinking this might be the case since she’s so used to her dog siblings letting her have her way, but Mochi is a bit bigger than her and their wrestling matches almost always end up with Nadja on the bottom. Or is this actually fighting and do I need to continue intervening when things like this happen?

Sorry for the long post, I’m a pretty new cat parent. I’ve fostered previously but they were a trio of siblings who got along right away. I have a more extensive background with dogs so I’m at a bit of a loss here. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

(I’ve also been spraying feliway and I think it’s helped a bit, but I’m also super allergic to a lot of things and I think that it’s making my asthma worse so I’m pausing on it for now and I apologize if you hear me breathing- or struggling to breathe in the video lol.)

My GF is a little worried for her 3 year old cat, one nipple is darker and the skin surrounding feels weird

Cat is a female and spayed

Should we observe or could it even just be pigmentation?

So there’s this woman that uses her cat in order to get instagram likes and shares. Seems alright so far, but there are times when she makes her cat “sing along” by yanking her paws in order for her to make a sound. My question is, does it hurt the cat? I might be over reacting, but clearly she hates it and not a lot of people are saying anything about this. And yes, I know it’s not a big deal but still, it’s not okay.

When it's on he spend his day on, better when playing 👌

So we have 2 cats a dog and a baby that will be here in another month. Our cats are both around 5 years old and like any other cat gets the zoomies at night but lately it's been a bit out of control more than usual. Our one cat will literally launch himself off of us to scurry elsewhere and tonight while having his zoomies, jumped on the sofa and ran and launched himself off of my chest (I am currently the pregnant one and LUCKY he didn't run across my belly)

My fear is safety for when baby gets here. We cannot block the zoomie path and the only way we can avoid them is going to bed or literally leaving the room to avoid the cats. Literally now running our life

Any advice other than rehoming? We have talked about it and my husband and I are not the type to re-home our pets, but if they can't settle when the baby arrives or accidentally hurt the baby from their spaz episodes we won't have a choice

So, in 2021 I started seeing my now boyfriend, he had just recently adopted a kitten and ever since he got him, the cat was kind of mean and would not let anyone touch him or be near him, but he wasn't necessarily aggressive, just kind of weary. My SIL has a pitbull and the family (he lived in his family home) wouldn't let the two be together in the house, for obvious reasons, so they would trade them. When Maximo (cat) was outside my Bf's room, Brook (Pitbull) was in my SIL's room, and viceversa. When things started to get serious, I would sleepover and Maximo grew increasingly aggressive towards me specifically, he'd do things like hit or scratch me while I slept or hiss at me every time he saw me. Additionally, he would spend the night throwing things off the nightstands and meow all night long.

I should add, I have four cats myself and have rescued over a dozen, never had I encountered a cat that disliked me this much for no apparent reason.

Eventually SIL moved away and took her dog with her, but Maximo kept on bugging us at night, so we ended up "moving" to her room, just to sleep. She ended up coming back, dog and all, and we had to go back to the room, where Maximo's dislike was very much apparent, and not only directed at me, but kind of... at life.

I gave up trying to please the cat (whom I tried to buy off by giving him treats, toys and wet food) and just accepted that he would hate me forever.

My BF and I moved to our first house together a month and a half ago and brought two of my cats with me, they adjusted nicely and absolutely ADORE my bf. They adopted him from the get go, and the house change did not seem to faze them at all.

Fast forward to today, we finally brought him home. He tried attacking me the entire way home from his "cage", when he came in the house, my cats tried getting closer to him, I know they have a lot of experience having other cats and animals around, so they were friendly and curious, but Maximo went on a hissing fit and tried attacking them. We currently have them separated (my cats in the bedroom, Maximo outside exploring the house) but he will not stop attacking us and I am quite afraid of him because he is very strong and every time he sees me or hears my voice he hisses and jumps at me.

I don't know what to do, I'm scared for me and for my cats. I know I should give him a chance and be glad we're finally all together, cause bf ADORES his cat, but I just don't know how to fix this and have peace and not have to live jumping to counters to avoid being attacked. There's nothing we can do but fix this living situation going forward, cause my cats cannot go back and neither can Maximo.

She isn't itching at all but she's losing a lot of fur on her head and she's become lethargic. She's had a vet appointment but we can't afford a test yet so before we take her back when we have the funds I was wondering if anyone's seen anything similar to help us understand what it might be.

I understand the main advice will be to ask our vets but if we could be pointed to where we could get more answers from specialist, it would be greatly appreciated.

Added NSFW as it's pretty gruesome 🫤 She's up to date with vaccines and worming treatments.

slightly a rant but my best friend is making me a bit frustrated and stressed about my cats. months ago I asked if she could pet/housesit for us on Christmas week. She said yes and my husband and I were happy because we trust her. however she got bf within that time frame and said she would need coverage on Christmas morning but would be home by the cats evening feed. I said sure bc it’s a holiday and I understand wanting to be with your new bf. I was able to coordinate with my parents to make a stop in the AM. Well about 9pm I still didn’t hear our ring doorbell so I started getting concerned since she told my parents that she’d be home by 7pm. I texted her asking if she was ok and if she needed my parents to stop by. After another 30 min she texted me saying she got into a car accident So I asked if she was okay and she said yes. I told her I’d ask my parents to stop by and thankfully they weren’t busy and they were able to check in on them. Apparently there was vomit everywhere and diarrhea in the litter box. My parents had to clean it up and I guess she left a bowl of crushed wafers or cookies or something out in the open?? So I think our cats got into them. I’m glad she’s ok from accident but I wish she would’ve communicated more about her whereabouts because we were expecting her to be back home at 7 for their dinner and we could’ve just had my parents come earlier and she also left food out that seems to make them sick 😕 and we won’t be home for another three days..
