The Top 5 Benefits of Cat Neutering: A Healthier, Happier Feline

Cat neutering is a common surgical procedure that involves removing a male cat’s testicles or a female cat’s ovaries and uterus. This is done to prevent the cat from reproducing and exhibiting certain undesirable behaviors. Neutering is a safe and effective way to promote the health and well-being of your cat while also reducing the number of homeless cats in your community. It is a routine…

Seriously, this is really helping us. I'm still amazed that the (famous pharmacy) is going out of business to the extent that it ran out of my ACE bandages.

I was thinking that if I had van life and driving around in a camper van. I'd love that so much it'd be my dream life to explore and wake up every day surrounded by nature. Nature is one of the few things that makes me happy and so living in a van in a campsite or something would make me the happiest of all. Being connected to nature and living a simple life

Okay so— imma need some advice… ok xx

General mental health TW <<nothing major but pls take care of yourselves

Today I went to my GP. The reason is unrelated but I came out with another booking, next week and this time for all the psychological stuff that’s wrong with me

Btw I’m a minor with some trauma so there’s a lot of parental dependence here

Okay! So!! The main question>> Should I at all be open about my alterhuman identity? Has anyone had any experience with how the medical field handles this sort of thing? Have you been met with any… like, discrimination, shit i hope not

Like I think I have psychosis or some sort of dissociative disorder anyway but I want to feel safe and at least finish college “normally”

Not rlly sure how to finish this. Thxx for reading this far. ur a menace :]

I...don’t make posts like this. But I am desperate for help.

This is Piper. Piper is a 7-year-old Domestic shorthair, though she still acts like a kitten most days! She is my baby, and while she isn't officially documented, she acts as my Emotional Support Animal for all my mental health needs. She is an absolute sweetie and I can imagine a day without her now.

^Her eye on 4/16/23 after an allergy episode. This was why we didn’t initially worry.

A little over a month ago, her third eyelid started showing. It was so slight at first that my best friend and I thought it was allergies, as ours were flaring up as well. But as the days turned into weeks, it seemed to just get worse. After some lubricating drops did not work, I took her to the vet and the initial visit resulted in one of two results: An abscess behind her eye, or a tumor. After seeking counsel with an Animal Eye specialist, we got the following diagnosis:

"Piper has signs consistent with Retrobulbar Disease. Retrobulbar Disease most commonly is associated with an infection/inflammation (cellulitis) or a cancer. Less Common causes include retrobulbar foreign body, hemorrhage, cyst, mucocele, myositis, or an ascending tooth root infection. Our goal is to resolve the clinical signs and determine the underlying cause. Based on Piper's eye exam and history, I am most suspicious of a retrobulbar tumor (cancer)."

^This is her eye as of 6/20/23

After discussing the details of the diagnosis with her vet, we determined that Enucleation, or removal of the eye and therefore tumor, is the best option to give her a continued beneficial life. As of now, she does not seem to be experiencing pain, but she has no flinch reflex in that eye, and no reaction to light, which tells the doctors that the mass is pressing against the optic nerve, and thus it would be more beneficial to her to have the eye removed, and a biopsy to be done on the mass to determine if it is aggressive cancer or not.

The amount being asked is to help cover the cost of the procedure, with an itemized estimate attached below.

Any additional funds raised will go toward the vet bills accrued before this surgery. As I work with the school system and it is summer, I am not making enough money for this, and all my credit cards are maxed out from other issues that have happened. I cannot get this procedure done without this money so please, help me give her the life she deserves.

Here is my GoFundMe. (https://gofund.me/96a56fa6) Any help, whether its donations or sharing, would be helpful. I’m so scared of losing her.

15 days till her surgery 😮‍💨

She’s none the wiser but I’m an anxious mess 😭 the life of a cat mom I guess. My relatives keep asking us when we’re gonna have kids but I don’t think I could do it, I’m already stressed with a fur baby, a real baby would kill me.

I just don’t want her to get worse. Kiki is feline leukemia positive which is a disease that attacks her immune system, so any health problem she faces is so much worse. We knew all the risks before we adopted her, we really wanted to give her as good of a life as we could. So far we’ve been so blessed, besides a few colds and ear infections she’s been doing really good. This gum disease is the first major thing she’s had 😭

I’ve been posting a lot about it, if you’ve seen these before you’re probably sick of them. But I love this cat and will do anything to help her.

The cost of her dental surgery is estimated to be $1200 that covers the cleaning, any tooth extractions and her medication. We set up a gofundme, if anyone is able to donate we would be forever grateful. If not, any likes or shares would be so appreciated.

We love this cat and want to keep her as healthy and happy as we can.

Purrfect Companions in a Perilous World: A Comprehensive Guide to Cat Care in 2024

Cats, our furry companions, have graced our homes and hearts for millennia. With their independent spirit, playful antics, and undeniable cuteness, they hold a special place in our society. But beyond the warm snuggles and adorable meows, cats offer significant benefits to our lives and face unique challenges in today's world. This article delves into the complexities of cat care, equipping you with the knowledge and resources to be the best feline guardian possible.

1: The Feline Powerhouse: Benefits of Cat Ownership

Sharing your life with a cat isn't just about purrs and playtime. Studies reveal fascinating health and emotional advantages. Owning a cat can:

Reduce stress and anxiety: A 2020 study published in the "Journal of Physiological Science" found that interacting with cats lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone.

Boost heart health: A 2013 study in the "Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology" suggests owning a cat might decrease the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Combat loneliness and depression: Cat companionship can provide emotional support, especially for individuals living alone. A 2015 study in "PLoS One" found cat owners to be less lonely and more satisfied with their social lives.

Improve cognitive function: Research suggests cat ownership can stimulate the mind and even delay the onset of dementia.

2: Responsibilities: Loving Beyond the Purrs

Cat ownership comes with responsibilities. Here's how to ensure your feline friend thrives:

Nutrition: Choose high-quality, species-appropriate food based on your cat's age and activity level. Consult a veterinarian for personalized recommendations.

Grooming: Brush your cat regularly to remove shedding fur and prevent hairballs. Longhaired cats require daily brushing.

Litter box: Provide a clean, accessible litter box in a quiet location. Scoop daily and change the litter regularly.

Veterinary care: Schedule regular checkups, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Spaying/neutering is vital for health and population control.

Microchipping: This permanent ID helps reunite lost cats with their owners

3: Threats in the Modern Jungle: Protecting Your Feline Friend

Our world presents dangers to even the most adventurous felines:

Traffic: Keep cats indoors to prevent accidents. Provide enrichment like scratching posts and climbing structures to satisfy their natural instincts.

Predators: Outdoor cats face threats from wildlife and stray dogs. Consider harness training for supervised outdoor access.

Diseases: Vaccinations are crucial to protect against serious illnesses like feline distemper and rabies.

Parasites: Ticks, fleas, and worms can cause health problems. Use monthly preventative medication.

Toxins: Household plants, cleaning products, and medications can be poisonous to cats. Ensure a safe environment.

Climate change: Rising temperatures and extreme weather events can impact cat health. Provide access to shade and water during hot weather.

4: Champions for Feline Wellness: Solutions and Actions

We can create a better world for our feline companions:

Adopt, don't shop: Give a homeless cat a loving forever home. Support shelters and rescues by adopting, volunteering, or donating.

Indoor/outdoor enrichment: Provide safe indoor environments with stimulating toys and climbing structures. Consider building a secure catio for supervised outdoor access.

Support animal welfare organizations: These groups advocate for cat welfare, provide resources to pet owners, and promote responsible pet care.

Raise awareness: Educate others about cat care, verantwortliches Katzenbesitz, the dangers cats face, and the importance of adoption.

A Lifelong Bond: Love, Respect, and Purrfect Harmony

Caring for a cat is a commitment, but one filled with boundless rewards. By understanding their needs, providing responsible care, and advocating for their well-being, we can ensure our feline friends live long, happy, and healthy lives. Remember, respect their independence, appreciate their unique personalities, and shower them with love. In return, they'll enrich your life with purrs, companionship, and endless feline charm. So, let's become responsible cat guardians, create a safer world for them, and celebrate the joy of sharing our lives with these perfect creatures.

Here's the best way to express your love and solidarity with cats. Make the world see it

Huge thank you to @kyra45 for bringing me to tumblr. I can basically say all my brain thoughts here and my heart thoughts and people can ignore me like they do in person.

My tags are fun today. Enjoy

#brain thoughts #heart thoughts #tomorrows my birthday #and I really don’t care #my vet is my best friend now #I call her my cats auntie #Poppy has the feline version of a diaper rash #she gets butt paste put on her #my vet gave her an oatmeal bath to soothe her bottom #I don’t know why im making all these tags #check out poppy’s go fund me #i feel like shit #i am not okay #i hate being sick #chronically fucked up #mental health #im not ready #suicidal ideations are my constant company #im ruining my children’s lives by being sick and disabled #pls ignore #how many more til 30 #TW life #tw mental health #trigger warnings #I have the fray how to save a life on repeat in my brain #also matchbox20 3am #it’s my birthday weekend and I want to go to so many concerts but there are so few handicap accessible ones #have you ever thought about how dangerous crowded places are for those with limited mobility #it’s like a guaranteed death trap #I want to go see fall out boy and new found glory and Matt rife but none of those venues are anything close to safe for us

any guesses as to why only 1 of my 2 kittens, both of the same litter, always growls and hisses at my dad even though he hasn't done anything to harm them in any way? he doesn't do that to any other human. the very first time he met my dad with his eyes and ears fully open, he hissed and growled at him

Unfortunately there's a lot of pieces missing to this particular puzzle. There's a plethora of reasons, but it's hard to pinpoint without knowing the specifics of the relationship. It's possible the way the kitten was approached, for whatever reason, was frightening to the kitten. Your dad could have smelled like something the kitten was unfamiliar with, or worn something that startled the kitten.
