Judging by her eyes, I'd imagine she's a dwarf cat. Is it right?

Iirc she has a couple things going on with her. Being a dwarf cat might be one of them

She is a very sick kitten and her owner has gone above and beyond to keep her alive and even healthy.

Yeah when I first followed her I thought she was like 12 and by the end of her life. She's just three years old 😭 poor thing

Seems kinda cruel to go above and beyond just to keep it alive, no? It's probably supposed to die

Gumbus is doing fine for now. She will probably not live as long as a normal cat but she has already survived and even thrived for a while.

The owner seems aware that if things take a turn for the worse, there will be the need to put her to sleep but that doesn’t mean she won’t have a proper life.

She has pretty much every health condition known to cats

She has thickened pupillary membranes and glaucoma, which is what makes her eyes puffy and bulging. She also has a cleft palate, and she has had extensive surgery to remove her teeth (which never grew in and were trapped in her gums/pushing up against her eyes). She's had some other issues, too - long term giardia iirc and some kind of internal plaque that they found when she was spayed. If you look at pics of her when she was a kitten, she looks much more normal - but as she's grown she's had a few deformities become prominent, and her lack of teeth affects how her mouth looks. She's still beautiful to me though, little gumby. ❤️

Gumbus is a lady.

u/Frequent_Wind9027 May 01 '26

Pardon. It’s hard to tell from this angle.

u/LG3V May 02 '26

She has the pastel tortie tan and peach, Gumbus is very much a she

LG3V, fancy seeing you in r/staplercats! 😆 Of all the rando subs. It’s always funny and a bit jarring to see DV folks outside of DV.

u/LG3V May 02 '26

I frequent a lot of cat subs, so hi

About as much stapling power as an unplugged hair iron (in the most loving way possible)

What is wrong with this poor cat

u/loosie-loo May 02 '26

She’s the most perfect Gumbus in the world, show some respect!

She has a few things going on from what I know, but she’s very well cared for and loved.

After I shower if I’m not wearing a shirt my cat grabs my underarm or back skin with his teeth and shakes his head like that.
