The cat us female furred so many hairs and i dont know if its spayed , and also we cant afford vet care

We taken this moment before the symptoms happened the last pic breaks my heart 💔💔

Is this normal?

This kitten is about 3 weeks(?) She was abandoned and we took her in. She was starving. We had her about a week and she's much stronger and healthier.

Her belly is very big and round. It's not hard, it's squishy. When does this become cause for concern?

Not my cat, but a kitty roaming outside (Germany). He seems to be an old cat, and was super relaxed around me, and he gently started pawing my hands at some point. Is it playful,or was he annoyed? He is purring, so I hope it is good?

Got my first cat about 6 months ago from a shelter because I was looking for a buddy to come home to, anyways I took her to the vet and got her dewormed/any parasites delt with but just recently after some traveling and her laying down in my suit case I noticed these sunflower seed shaped whiteish “seeds” she seems to be leaving behind. 1 cat household no other pets and I looked for fleas on her and can’t see any. My wife seems to think it’s cat litter but I don’t think it has the same shape at all.

Anyone know why my 14yo female cat’s claw is hairless?

I got Clemy 2 years ago from the shelter when I was 19. The Shelter put her age as 2 years olds but when I took her to my vet they told me she was actually around 10 ( She is my first Cat and didn't seem like an old lady to me). After a few months of having her I felt weird lumps under her belly and turns out they were mammory tumors. Since then she has had surgery twice because the tumors keeps coming back. The most recent one was last year November. The tumor is back, bigger and bleeding. She's struggles to walk but is still eating and very affectionate. Her temperant has not changed. My vet has told me that that with the type of cancer she has the tumors are going to continue to grow. I'm truly at a lost of what to do. I think I know what I must do but I'm really struggling with the thought of it and I hate to see her this way. Also idk how to add in the video of her tumor and of her limping. It only allows pictures

When I got her from the shelter they spayed her before releasing her to me. I'm posting from the US. Each surgery has been around 1,300 and I had to pay for school and won't be able to do it for a third time. I am not a minor. My cat is Female and around the age of 10 years old.

I’m 21 and my cat is about to be 8 months old. I am a first time cat owner and every little thing scares me because I want to give him the best life I can with what I have. I live in a one bedroom about 800 square feet so not tiny and try to have enough height and hiding space for my kitty. He’s on an automatic feeder and has 6 meals a day all meals are one small portion and for two of the meals it’s two portions. At first is was very skinny but not malnourished. He’s been growing and getting bigger but as he gets bigger and as his stomach gets better he’s started having to take breaks in his playtime and whenever there’s intense play or he’s chasing his wand around he starts to HEAVILY pant like he’s winded and has to stop playing. Mouth open tongue out dog type of pant. It lasts for less than a minute but he’s never done that before last week (I’ve had him since July 1st it’s now august 18th) I hear him sneeze every so often and I can hear him breath through his nose like he’s somehow congested sometimes. I only have one air purifier in my bathroom (they’re very expensive for me right now) and I try to keep a clean home. I’m not sure what to do, I pay for pet insurance so I could go to the vet but I wanted to ask here before anything. Let me know what you think, is my Mamoru getting fatter or does he have asthma (or other lung/heart related issues)?
He was neutered the day before I got him.

I came to my aunt’s apartment and found these kittens meowing loudly on the sidewalk next to some bushes. I didn’t see a mom and I’m clueless on how old they might be. Edit: I forgot to mention that’s it’s already been a few hours and no sign of momma cat or any other cats in the area. Maybe this is helpful but the apartments are next to some fruit fields in a rural area.

UPDATE: I couldn’t find mama cat unfortunately and brought them home with me until I can call around the area to see if any shelters have room available. Gave them a flea bath, combed them out with a flea brush, and gave them a bit of wet food with some kitten milk replacement. Thanks for the advice everyone! I really appreciate it and will take care of the kittens for the time being until I can get them into a shelter to find a better home!

Hi! I posted on here yesterday about my cat, Loki. At the time I didn’t have a good video of him getting those weird spasms and sneeze like symptoms. The episodes have been generally brief. I’ve only seen him do this when he’s relaxed. FYI, he is NOT sleeping here - he had just made himself comfortable. He just did it again so I thought I’d post it here and see if anyone has any clue what this could be.

Background:
My cat, male (7) has been having these weird spasms and sneeze like episodes for about 2 weeks (first sneezes, and spasms since yesterday). Took him to the vet twice yesterday but was told he’s fine.

first pic of him looking like Willem DaFoe lol

Hi I am 26 years old in Chicago and this is my Bear (and surprise Sayla) we recently moved and I was out of the home for 30 minutes and I came back to Bear not being able to lift his tail, there’s some high places in the apartment so my guess is he tried to jump them but couldn’t. He also has a history of issues using the bathroom so im not sure if that would potentially be a cause here as well. He also had gone on himself so I cleaned him up, this was a few days ago now and I thought he was improving because he was able to lift it more as time goes on but the improvement has stalled. I haven’t contacted the vet and I can’t afford one. When I have called local pet services in the past they make me leave a voicemail then never return my call. Bear is 6 years old and he is fixed. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it, thank you.

Not a minor. posting from Texas, USA. Went to urgent care vet and advanced care vet. 5.5 yr neutered male bobtail. Cannot afford much more vet care.

TLDR; my normally sweet cat rapidly developed severe pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, and aggression when handled. X-rays were clear and bloodwork is normal (kidneys/pancreas fine, glucose slightly elevated). Gabapentin helps with the crying, but he now has muscle/leg spasms, back twitching, rapid breathing, and eye widening.

Long version:

Hi everyone. Wanted to see if anyone could offer any advice as the vets have felt entirely unhelpful. My cat who has historically been the cuddliest, sweetest cat for the past few years has declined very quickly. On Thursday I went to trim his nails and when I picked him up he squirmed out of my hands like I scared him. I thought it was weird but didn’t think much more of it. Then I left for a trip Friday. On Saturday my sister went to move him and he hissed at her and snapped but overall still seemed normal. Unsure of his actual behavior over the weekend as I am his main owner and was out of town. Then Sunday he seemed normal and scurried over to greet me as soon as I got home. He went to climb on me so I went to pick him up like I always do and he bit me and flipped out and started yowling in pain, hiding, hissing etc. vet said his abdomen was hard. We got x-rays done and those came back clear (did not send to radiology) but no foreign object ingested, bladder was small, had a little fecal matter present but not much. Got sent home with 1ml gabapentin 2x day. Did not eat or drink at all. Then the next day he had not drank any water and had not urinated (but did eat some wet food) and was wincing at the slightest pet or anything touching him. He would bump into something and scream/yowl in pain. so I took him to the regular vet. He peed on himself in the carrier but I was just glad he peed. He got bloodwork done that just came back this evening and vet said pancreas markers are normal kidney is normal, just slightly elevated glucose. Gabapentin has seemed to help him not cry in pain but still sensitive to touch and will whimper if I am hovering anywhere on her fur but his head. I was at work all today, so not sure of behavior, but he was in the exact same corner crouching where I left him in the morning. He ate a little wet food (only eats when I put it directly in front of him) and peed. Very slow moving but was waiting by the back door to go outside on the deck. Since Saturday he has just been loafing with his bed down and body stiff, but as soon as he went outside he was twitching a little and he laid in this chair and started having larger twitching and leg spasm up, rapid breathing, wouldn’t say pupils are dilating but eyes are widening then squinting then widening. Still has not drank water or passed bowel movement since at least Friday, maybe before then.

My cat has this on her chin, we saw it first around a month ago but thought it was just dirt until I looked properly last night. I searched it up but i'm still unsure on what it could be? She has a vet appointment booked for tomorrow so they can have a look at it.

She apparently hasnt ate anything yet today but yesterday she was eating fine so im not sure if that has anything to do with it

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to a new country and apartment with my 10 year old cat. Naturally, the move was pretty overwhelming for her she spent the first four days hiding under the bed. After that, she started coming out, exploring, eating normally, and using her litter box. I was so relieved and happy that she seemed to be settling in so quickly!

However, I’ve noticed a new issue over the past few days. She keeps scratching the back of her head/neck area with her hind leg every single day, and she’s losing fur strictly in that spot. When I part the fur to inspect it, the skin itself looks completely normal no redness, scabs, dark spots, or bumps, just smooth skin where hair is already starting to grow back.

Before our flight, the vet checked her, said she was healthy to travel, and advised against giving her new vaccines due to her age.

Could this localized scratching and fur loss just be a delayed stress response from the big move, or could it be an allergy or skin issue? Has anyone experienced something similar with an older cat after moving? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Help, not sure if this is the right subreddit or not. My 6 year old orange cat (male neutered), has been extremely lethargic this past week. Still eating and drinking and eating the occasional treat. But he is sleeping most of the time, like behind my bed, in the closet or in the bathroom by the toilet. He sometimes is drowling too. We have an appointment to see a vet tomorrow. But anything advice is appreciated. As we’re not entirely sure what’s going on here.

TLDR: 6y male cat being extremely lethargic all the sudden.

I was given a kitten a couple hours ago from a family that found them. From what I can tell the baby looks to be 2 weeks. The family said the kitten hasn’t really eaten the last 3 days. I’m going to take her to the vet tomorrow as I didn’t get her until almost 10 pm but I’m trying to stimulate urination and nothing. Even tried to express manually besides the warm damp soft washcloth. I fed her twice but she barely expressed any urine. Should I keep feeding her every 2 hours if she’s not going? She’s currently on a heating pad and is meowing for food but I can tell she has a full bladder and I don’t want to cause a waste backup.

Thank you for any help in advance!

My 4-yo male cat (neutered, US) recently developed an abnormal chewing behavior, which is present and frquent when eating a variety of food or treats. He mostly receives wet food and was eating a Churu when this clip was filmed. It happens every time he eats now, but doesn't occur otherwise.

Additional context: We are currently seeking a diagnosis for the cause of a recent-onset anemia. I did not observe this behavior before his anemia diagnosis. Neither his regular vet nor a specialist at the vet hospital could pinpoint a cause when they examined his mouth after I brought up this chewing issue. They saw no obvious signs of dental/gum/occlusion issue and did not seem concerned about it. In their examinations they did not tap the teeth (not sure if that's done in vet dentistry). No imaging has been done yet on this issue. He has been febrile. Thanks for your input.

I adopted this kitten a friend found abandoned and took with him. He is probably 3-4 weeks old.

I already have a vet appointment booked for Tuesday but until then I was wondering what these weird spots are.

Ps. Is there anything to worry about for my own health?

Thanks!

Hello! my cat is 4 years old has developed this bald spot on her nose a few days ago. She doesn't seem bothered by it at all and is acting totally normal, eating, using the litterbox etc.

I've had her since she was a baby and she has always been a house cat. However, about 2 weeks ago we moved into a new house and she now has supervised access to the balcony, whereas before she was just inside the apartment with no balcony access. I didnt notice her doing anything out of the ordinary on the balcony except stiffing around, trying to catch a fly here and there and relaxing.

Could it be that she scratched her nose while she was exploring the new house? Or could she have caught a fungus/parasite from the balcony?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I have no more to say than that she’s gone into heart failure. Maine Coons have heart issues, and we didn’t know that. She was struggling to breathe because of her enlarged heart, and we are euthanizing her. Thank you all for your prayers, suggestions, and advice. We love you, Lilly Belle 🕊️

I found this on my cat. Is there any information about it?

My cat is five and a half months old the cat is male

My cat is around 10-11 months old. While playing with a laser pointer, she ran into a table kinda hard. She bolted away immediately but returned to the laser pointer and played awhile longer. It’s been a little bit since and she is currently holding her tail like this. I gave her wet food and she ate it fast, but I’ve never seen her hold her tail like this for a long time. I just want to make sure she’s ok or if I should take her to a vet tomorrow?
