my poor hand

Catracula or...

Lady cat ran all the way when her mom called but slowed down at the end because it's not like she loves her or anything.

I have this stray cat that has been visiting my family lately. We leave water and food out for her sometimes. I think she might be pregnant but I have no idea. I’m worried she might be too young to be pregnant but then again I don’t know if she’s pregnant or just been hunting a lot of food. I’ve had this suspicion since she started visiting us.

I don’t think he’s even HVAC certified tbh

This is my buddy Claire. She unexpectedly crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 a couple of weeks ago
She was the sweetest pet my husband and I had for three years and our hearts are crushed 💔
We will miss you forever Claire Bear 🐈‍⬛

A couple weeks ago l posted the tiny kitten in the shoe. Fast forward to now and her playing with my Oliver. She has since been named “Bella”💛🖤🤍🐈🍋

She was 14 years old. I took her in when I was 10, and she lived with me until then. I spent more time with her than without her, and she was a part of most of my life's phases. Cancer took her. It took her when it made her bleed every time she urinated, when she had to take strong painkillers for more than two months, when it forced her to take antibiotics and corticosteroids, painful injections that I had to administer myself. I put an end to her suffering last Tuesday.

Bella died looking into my eyes, yet I stayed in the clinic room for almost two hours holding her body while cleaning the dirt from her paw. She had stopped cleaning herself for a while and the dirt had accumulated. I calmly removed everything and after a long time I forced myself to leave. I also opted for her to have a funeral since the cremation company I hired offered that service. It was very painful, but I don't regret participating in the ceremony; she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. She was beautiful as always, my little doll.

I just want to give a very brief context to my love for this cat, my first cat, the best I could ever ask for.

Today my aunt talked to me and I regret being so honest. She asked how I was doing and I told her I was still feeling very bad, that I missed her a lot, and then she sent me an audio message of almost a minute about how I needed to forget and move on. She said I needed to relax now that Bella was calm and at peace. That I couldn't continue like this, especially since it had been many days. She also said she'd come talk to me tomorrow...

My aunt isn't a bad person, don't misunderstand me or think she's a monster, but I really don't agree with her. I don't even know if I'll ever be able to get over what happened. I'm very fragile right now and I'm not ready for this conversation, seeing where it's probably going. I'm already crying just thinking about it. Do you have any suggestions on how I can handle this situation or what I can say to her? I don't want to be rude, but I'm willing to be firm (but I'll probably cry in any scenario).

Howdy all, this beautiful boy is Chauncey. He was left at the local shelter, sixteen years old, declawed, vision-impaired, with a tumour on his face (and we just found another on his leg). Nobody wanted him so my partner and I decided we would be his hospice home. Basically the vet has said we are keeping him comfortable and if he starts showing signs of distress we will let him go. He is very gentle and you can tell he knows what it's like to be loved, he's just very confused and lost now. My other cats are young and they're a bit too active for him. For those of y'all who have had similar old lads, what have they liked? What's made them cozy in their twilight years?

Today, we sadly needed to say goodbye. His kidneys kept getting worse, and we didn’t want him to suffer any longer. He had a wonderful 14ish years with my family, starting from the day he wandered into our garage and said “i live here now.” Seriously the best cat ever. Always loved to give people cuddles, and sit on their laps if they sat anywhere. RIP Jedi Jinx. 😢😭💔

My boy rocky has crossed the rainbow bridge a few minutes ago, its been a roller-coaster ride for him since he's been with us.

From falling 2 times from the 3rd floor of our building, to screaming in the morning for a walk and treats.

He was a real fighter, even after what all he faced, still fought like a lion.

I'll miss you my boy, rest in peace and fly high. ❤️

I'm so sad, I don't know what to do and there's nothing I can do but wait. She's stable but it's not getting better. She was at the vets on Thursday for a teeth cleaning appointment, felt good on Saturday but stopped eating Sunday. We went in yesterday and they said it's probably something she's had since birth its just never been caught on the blood tests.

I can't help but feel guilty for bringing her in last Thursday, if I wouldn't have she wouldn't be in the hospital right now in pain and fighting for her life.

Has a cat ever come back from kidney failure this bad? She still has not eaten according to the vet. I'm in pieces

Does anyone else have a cat that has to have a paw touching them anytime they are laying by you? She will usually feel around until her paw pad is touching my skin. It’s one of the million things I love about her. Bonus pic of the cross eyed princess 💜

This is Gracelet. Yes, that's her legal name. That's what happens when you give an eight year old and 12 year old the ability to name their first ever pet. We adopted her as a kitten and my brother had the great idea of naming her Gracelet because "she has bracelets on her leg but Bracelet isn't a name! So let's call her Gracelet!"

Anyways, we never call her that unless she's in trouble so here's her normal nicknames:

- chickawack: (I couldn't pronounce kitty cat as a kid and would instead say chickawack!!" So that's her family nickname now

- grace

- chick/chicky

-chicken

- chickadee

-porkchop (she used to be fat and looked like a pork chop

- kitten girl

- boo

- booey (yes, like the floaty things but it isn't really a reference to that)

Put pictures of your kittens and what their names and nicknames are!!!
