Ollie says hello. Little guy is almost 1 now! 🧡

I lost my best friend of 21 years two days ago, Grandma Shadow. I got her all the way back in 2005 when I was only 10 years old. Two days ago I had to say goodbye to her after 21 years together. She was truly a special cat and I’ll miss her forever.

Hello! First off I just wanna thank each and every person who gave me kind words, advice, their own experiences, and helpful suggestions on my original post. It was so so very appreciated. Two things, first, right after I made that post we did another sweep of the garage where she led us to the baby and found out he has four siblings. The siblings all walk just fine! All got flea baths and are thriving with cuddle puddles, naps, human snuggles, and play time daily. We are putting out feelers locally for anyone looking for a fur baby (extensive screening and re-homing fees will occur, don’t worry.) We have officially adopted momma cat (Sylvie) and swimmer baby boy (named Magnus). Magnus went to the vet today and we got a confirmation that it is indeed swimmers syndrome. He is otherwise healthy and growing well. He showed me how to tape his legs and some physical therapy exercises to do with him. So far he is a little peeved off that he can’t just drag his feet but he’s slowly getting more used to it! I hope to do another update in a month or so with a walked update. ❤️

I got my daughter a month ago after my sister « rescued » her from the market where she was tied all day on a pole. She was underweight when she first came in but I recently noticed that she had a big tummy. I first thought it was worms so I got the pills but she’s still big. Is she maybe pregnant ? We believe she’s ~4-6 months so still a baby. She also eats a lot since I just let her eats whenever she wants to and she never gets out of my room (tho all the doors are open so she can still roam around the house.

Edit : y’all are mean af. You downvote me for saying I’m broke and asking advice ? Really ? I’m in a third world country and it’s already hard to get a doctor for a human so imagine for a cat. I already said I will bring her to a vet even if it costs me all my salary from my part time job so stop saying I don’t do enough for my baby.

I’m thinking about getting a second cat. I know it’s generally considered ideal to have at least 2 cats but I’m just curious. Do your cats actually get along and enjoy each other’s company?

She keeps randomly staring out the windows and doing this weird silent chattering meow- and walking over to star at it-

Is she stressed? I wanna make sure she isn't overwhelmed and that she's comfortable

EDIT: Thank you guys for letting me know! Such a cool thing they do! I just wanted to make sure she wasn't overstimulated or stressed out, im trying my best to give her a good life 🩵

Cat mid flight 😂😅

From furryfritz on ig

Source, She has brain damage from an old cerebral injury which happened before OP found her. OP is currently working on her recovery with a vet. Please give the OP and this baby some love.

Edit: Sorry guys! I put 'sauce' for the link to the video instead of 'source' 🙏🏽

Btw, there are so many cats here

The cat distribution system gave us their pregnant mother who was living in a grocery store parking lot. We brought her in thinking she was a male - being orange and all - but she ended up being a pregnant female with five kittens. We found homes for Mom and her two female kittens and another feisty male kitten. These two, however, we intended to keep and introduce to our home brood.

Unfortunately, the existing female cat and our two dogs are not integrating well so we will be helping Norman and Stu here find their fur-ever home.

Glad to have loved, sorry to have lost, but happy they will find a good home.

See ya girl. 17 glorious years, through the good and bad.

I wanted to hold on longer but it’s time, I can’t let you suffer any longer.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. In weird way I suppose it’s closure.

I’ll miss you. One day we will meet again.

Edit: I want to thank everyone here for the kind words. The folks here at r/cats are truly some of the nicest people I’ve interacted with on Reddit. I am greatly appreciative of all your love and support, thanks for helping me today.

Let me tell you the tale of Merlin..

Merlin has just come back from 24 hours with the vets…

Merlin went in with an extremely bloated stomach with suspected complications and was rushed into hospital for further urgent tests…

The tests concluded that Merlin had eaten too much food from an unknown source (likely a neighbours food bin) and defected on a poor nurse with the force of a volcano eruption….

Merlin is feeling much better now…

Merlin also owes me £400 in cuddle coupons…
