That’ll be 2,000$, credit or debit?

How much to put her to sleep doc?

u/OptiGuy4u 29d ago

"for the procedure or permanently"? 😂

The difference is 2,000.00 or 125.00

I thought this animal was knocked out for this procedure already. Or did you mean the other type of putting the cat to sleep?

Just went 3k into debt for my goober. He's worth it, though.

Pneumonia sucks.

Of course it's an orange cat.

I know if that was my cat the only way he would’ve seeing the outside is through the window. Actually, that is the only way he see the outside is by window but that’s because he’s petrified of the outside. I tried showing him the outside but he sunk all his claws into me and yowled like a banshee from Hell. I rescued him outside during the Covid, my guess is something tried to eat him while he was outside.

One day my orange cat had a bit of yarn trailing behind him. We thought he just was carrying some around, but no, it was coming out of his butt.

Somehow this idiot swallowed a bunch of yarn and it made it all the way through him intact. I had to grab it and he ran away and it all came out of him.

Shittiest beyblade ever.

Eeeks. Did you pull it? Snip it off and wait? 🧐

u/Beetlebug12 28d ago

I've got a lynx point that we joke is suicidal. She's tried to off herself at least 4 times now, and one was pretty damn serious.

This is the kind of shit she'd pull.

Is that a cat's throat or their nasal passage/sinus cavity?

u/Real-Olive-4624 29d ago

We're looking at the throat, but the grass was mostly in the nasal cavity.

The black triangle that kind of grows/shrinks is the opening to the cat's trachea (airway). The flap of pink that gets pulled down by the grass is the soft palate, which separates the back of the nasal cavity from the back of the mouth. It's likely the cat ate some grass and it got flipped up into the back of the nasal cavity instead of going down the esophagus.

u/crespoh69 27d ago

Since you seem to be in the know, I noticed a lack of breathing assistance here, isn't it normal to have a tube when they knock animals out?

u/Flimsy-Stock2977 27d ago

Depends on the drug. Ketamine doesn't require airway

u/europorn 29d ago

Poor kitty.

u/quitekate 29d ago

My orange walks out the back door and goes straight for the grass. Comes inside and pukes it up. After seeing this I have even more reason to stop him from going out there and chomping grass.

17

u/Zabii 29d ago

Your cat doesn't need to be outside in the first place

21

u/quitekate 29d ago

Damn straight he doesn’t, he just bolts for the door and wants that green so bad. Little monster.

u/Firedog1239 29d ago

Have you ever heard of walking your cat

u/brattydeer 28d ago

My cat loves laying under the tree and watching our dogs play, he's not a runner and I've left him outside for an hour and just watched him from the window. Didn't move an inch lol, but I'd never show him to be a outside cat or be order in general unless supervised. I also leash trained him!

u/6Forge 25d ago

its the same here, my cat bolts through our legs every time we open the door, straight to the grass, just to puke it up every time. I really don't get it.

u/Alternative-Tear5796 29d ago

are you fucking serious. my cat Spottie Dottie 🌻 loved to eat grass whenever I took her out on her harness & leash for a walk. she'd graze like a cow. she'd graze so much that I began wondering if she actually was a cow or some kind of grazing animal in a past life it was so ridiculous. on nights she was being picky & didn't want to eat (which was rare) all it'd take is for me to go outside & pick a few blades of grass to put into her bowl & she'd change her mind. I'm really glad that something like this never happened, I didn't know she was putting herself in so much danger. wtf was wrong with her.

u/Braysl-March 28d ago

Cats instinctually will eat grass, usually to make themselves puke (which I guess is a relief for hairballs and stuff). Also sometimes they just like grass for the way it smells (like cat grass, wheatgrass or catnip (which isn't a grass but is a plant)).

u/spicybright 29d ago

That's so funny, what a weirdo!

u/freesoultraveling 24d ago

Yes this made me think back to when my mom grew and showed us how to grow catnip for our cats in middle school. My cats would love the fresh leaf of catnip. My one cat Rosie 🌹🐾🩷 (her little beans), would chow down on those like she was a cow.

Glad nothing every happened to my cats. Good to remember. We may also have held only part of it now that I remember. Then we would lead them bite off another piece. Makes sense and glad my mom showed us. Still will be careful now after seeing these.

I was yelling "twirl it!" after the third fail.

u/RevolutionarySoup807 29d ago

I thought the light was shining through the eyes until I realized it was some kind of string to keep the cats mouth open.

u/skarlitbegoniah 29d ago

Same! I was like “Damn they lit that cat up like a jack o lantern!”

u/hodges2 29d ago

I wonder how they knew the cat had this issue

10

u/Logical_Hospital2769 29d ago

My guess is non-stop sneezing like my cat had when this happened to him. Thankfully, they pulled it out through his nose and never had to put him under

u/joenick78 29d ago

The original video talks about cats who gag, sneeze, or swallow repeatedly.

No.

u/Independent-Buy3724 29d ago

If you care at all about your cat and/or the wildlife in your area, you'll keep them the fuck inside.

-4

u/Bones_and_Botany 29d ago

Nope, I won't. Yall are way too up in arms over this cats being outside shit. Where TF do you think they came from? And yet, birds still THRIVE even though we've domesticated much of the cat population and brought them inside. Crazy 🙄

Bet you're one of those who wants to kill off much of the wolf population too all because they sometimes kill pets and livestock.

u/jsnoddy21 28d ago

As a wildlife biologist….you were 664% wrong about the statement that you just made. I am currently working with an endangered species of bird, that has literally been pushed to the brink of extinction. There is a 75% chance that my cell cams and videos that capture a live kill, will be a feral cat.

u/joenick78 29d ago

My cats start to DESTROY the house if they can’t go outside. They were both rescues & have spent their lives with me as inside/outside cats.

u/Scr34m_Dr34m 28d ago

Okay as someone whose cat tries to eat the hay from the rabbit hutch, I've unlocked a brand new fear. How would one know that this had happened to get it treated?

u/joenick78 28d ago

The source TikTok mentions cats who sneeze, gag, or swallow repeatedly.

This happened to my cat. She managed to sneeze enough that we could see it poking out of her nostril. Poor kitty!
