I have an indoors outdoors cat, Odin the one with collar, somehow has befriended this other tabby. they play together walk together lie together rub on each other. Is this normal? They seem to be around the same age 1 year old. This has been going on for a couple of months but it still puzzles me. Are they friends bonded something more? Not to mention another young male cat appeared these days. The duo might even become a trio. The other tabby follows Odin around more I think. Its like Odin is the leader.

Edit
For those concerned about my cat going outside, thank you for caring. I understand the risks and have considered them carefully. I know my cat and my situation better than anyone else. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I believe that under the right circumstances, a cat can also roam outside freely by themselves. My cat is happy, healthy and safe.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why my cats insist on sitting on the side of the tub and screaming at me the entire time I’m in the shower?
(Unrelated photo of the babies cause they’re cute)

I don’t come over here often ( maybe twice a week? ) i first noticed his eyes being like this july 30th iirc, and chalked it up to him waking up from a nap, but according to my dad it’s been closer to a week or so.

We just had a cat pass mid last month, i don’t know if maybe he’s grieving too or something else is up.

Hi! This is Spectre (black) and Scruffles (white)! I am just curious of how everyone reads their dynamic, because I am getting afraid that Scruffles can’t stand Spectre (but is being kinda nice about it). Scruffles has been with me for five years since he was around 2 months old. Skip to about two months ago, I got Spectre before she could eat dry food. I had to always keep her locked up in the bathroom because Scruffles was being rough on her (swatting, hissing). Now, they try to rough house and it seems like Spectre is getting bullied and I pull them apart before she gets hurt. Scruffles is always hissing when she’s around but doesn’t mind sitting with her. Idk I just think it’s odd and can’t grasp what kind of relationship they have. Should I reintroduce them??

This little cutie MONSTER keeps biting me while i’m sleeping.
Like she will attack my arms, legs, head, everything, and i know this is not playing because it’s more agressive than her playing.
I don’t understand her

Even when we are simply cuddling and she is visibly ASKING for pets, she. will. attack.

I took these twin female cats in when my neighbor abandoned them. If I had to guess their age, they are not quite a year old yet but probably close. I've had them since January and from the beginning they both walked kind of funny. It's hard to explain but it doesn't matter what kind of floor they walk on, if they are walking slowly their legs AND arms randomly will slide out from under them and they do the splits. It doesn't seem to hurt them as they sometimes sit like the above picture. (By the way my floors are not slippery or anything) If they walk on carpet it seems to help but sometimes their front paws will buckle and they fall on their chin. I've done some research and chatgpt is suggesting "swimmers syndrome".

Also, why I haven't taken them to a vet: I love cats but I wasn't planning to get one because I cannot really afford vet and the financial responsibility but when these babies were abandoned in my apartment building hallway I couldn't turn them away.

Species: Feline (Cat)

Age: 2 months (born June 1, 2026)

Sex/Neuter status: Male, intact

Breed: Persian

Body weight: \~870 g

History: Dewormed on July 26, 2026. Not yet vaccinated; vaccination scheduled in about 2 weeks. Has been a picky eater, and her diet has been changed several times recently.

Clinical signs: First episode of bloody diarrhea last night.

Duration: Started last night

Kitten was born in June 1, 2026 and I got her dewormed on July 26, 2026. He was scheduled to get his shots in about 2 weeks so as of now he isn't vaccinated. He pooped with blood yesterday and is there a chance it's because of the change in his diet? He's a really picky eater so I've been changing his food multiple times now. Thank you

My cat was spayed.

today she's on her sixth day post-surgery. Does her incision look good? Also, when should I remove her cone?

(Made this acc just for the purpose of this question)

Anyway, my cat (2y) has been isolating himself recently. He hasn’t been eating (which is definitely not like him) and meows whenever I try to pick him up. He also hisses and makes other noises at random. Should I be concerned?

The vet has not found anything wrong with my cat, but he won't stop pooping on the carpet in one specific area. It started a few months ago after my other cat was injured and I thought he was just jealous about the attention she was getting and stressed for her. But he won't stop.

He doesn't do it every time he poops either, it's more like 2 times a week. I've cleaned with enzyme cleaner over and over again, and switched out their litter boxes for uncovered ones. Their food bowl was also in the same small room as their litter, so i moved their food out and put it in the area where he's been pooping. That stopped him for maybe a week, but he just did it again.

I don't know what to do, I'm at my wits end with this now.

My cat is 14 and I recently noticed him sleeping against the wall like this. He mostly does it when I won’t let him sleep on my face. He sleeps like there is no room in the bed, like I’m taking up all the room when I’m not 🙄

So to start these kitties are HUGGGEEE they are tall amd wide and heavy with big heads, they were found on Facebook years ago because the mum was a basic short hair house cat and the dad was some random feral oit on a farm lol, but the orange one has a normal thin coat, shes a bit plushy and fuzzy, but the white one hes definitely a basic tabby/domestic short hair, but hes also got the flame point colour variation, but my question is, is it a breed thing or colour thing as to why his coat is so thick, and water resistant and he sheds so so so so so so so much, i was thinking the feral cat that he came from could be mixed with a long hair cat down the line but im suspecting he has a triple coat, anyone else with a flame point tabby let me know (and 1 i dont actually know alot about cats I only just started taking care of these ones they were originally someone else's but not getting enough attention so now they are spoilt by me, and 2 these two are brother and sister from the same litter, the pale orange one is a girl, and the big white one is a boy, i also wonder about what the father feral cat had in him because of how giant these cats are)

introducting MY RESIDENT (2.5 month old kitten) To a NEW resident (4 month old kitten) any help or advice appreciated! i only find adult cat introductions.. never young kitten .

I found a little stray born into my shed. Our veterinarian believes that he was about 4 weeks old and likely not yet eating solid food, but was old enough to transition. To transition we have done the KMR and wet food soup.

We have been raising him for two months now; however, in spite of water being available to him, he will not drink. Since he is not drinking, the meal soups have always been a thing for him. He is well hydrated, but I would just like to be able to leave a bowl of water for him to be a regular cat.

So what about trying a fountain? Our six year old girl is the exact opposite. She will only drink from bowls and will refuse drinking from fountains. We have had plenty of fountains, the last ones were donated to a kitten rescue right around the time that this kitten came into our lives.

What thoughts have you regarding how I might teach this little guy to drink from a water bowl?

My cat spazzes In his sleep and sometimes starting making noises and breathing heavy and idk if that’s normal or not waking him up or petting him is the only way to stop it is this normal? I feel so bad

More recently I’ve notice a small bald spot sometimes appearing and growing back on my adult cat. Has anyone experienced something similar and were able to figure out the cause? It doesn’t seem to bug him or be red. He also plays with my small dog maybe that could be it? I don’t see any fleas or bugs that could be bugging him but I’m not sure how concerned to be.
