I can picture it :D
I belly rubbed my mate's sleeping cat the other day and she opened her eyes before her eyeballs rolled back into their normal position from somewhere near her ears and then freaked out at my freakout. Bizarre creatures.
lmao. All points into that evade move.
It sounds like you know you need a good vet and proper care, but you're not 100% about this particular vet. It seems like a second opinion would help you decide. Have you used this vet for long, and do you trust them? If not, you should probably check message boards for your area, Yelp reviews etc., for local vets including the one you used. Some testing definitely sounds warranted, and that should only be a fraction of that quote. Do that, and go from there. At least you'll be more informed then and it could make a huge difference for the cats short term pain and long term health. Af ew hundred bucks compared to that is negligible.
Maybe an X-Ray is a little more here in the US? The rest is similar. Add another $50 for seeing the vet in the first place (those services you mention would be on top of that), plus likely some pain drugs, and a return visit. I'm just guessing, but I could see all of that included being about $500 easily. so $800+ seems high to me, but again I'm just guessing. Maybe that vet saw other things like a tooth or two needing work while sedated and that pumped up the bill? I would suggest they get an invoice estimate then ask another vet what they charge for the same items, and go from there.
Half a year approx. he's been like that ever he's on diet. It became better, and by better I mean he's not as desperately stealing our food anymore (we increased to 50-70 due to that) and actually slept during my birthday lunch we had with family coming over. We still lock him out after 3 times putting him down/on the cat tree didnt help, but in general it is getting somewhat better.
I did this and it worked until i got a second cat. Now i do three to four feedings a day at 1/4th a cup for each cat. Before the kitten i left a cup out per day and he ate as he pleased.
He had access to wet food all the time, but he's a deaf inside cat and lazy as fuck.
Hi you guys, again!
I'm super sad at the moment. ☹️ Sylvi has been doing really great, she's been getting more and more inquisitive and has started to look around our apartment, today she ate in the kitchen (we've been slowly moving her bowl towards the spot where we want her bowl to be) and her litter box has been moved to the hallway from our bedroom, she used it last night, yay for her ❤️ But this morning was a bad one, we both had to leave for work. I had to leave earlier than my gf but she texted me after she had left that Sylvi had meowed for her when she was leaving 😭 I hope she's doing alright there, all alone. Fuck, I'm almost crying because I feel like she's gonna think we've abandoned her or something.😭😭😭😭
It would get way too costly to have someone take care of her while we're working, plus we don't own a car so taking her to places is not easy when you're only using the bus. Also we live in a super small town in Finland so not sure how many people there are offering such a service. Maybe I should start one... Hmm. I'm sure she'll manage, but just breaks my heart to think that she's all alone and scared. She's the cat we got last wednesday from the cat shelter.
One of my aunt's cats had kittens and she was looking for a home for them. I offered to take one of the kittens and she brought him over last Sunday. He turned 11 weeks old 2 days ago. He's so cute! His name is Binx.
Our cats cant hear us, but they see the light from the staircase and stand, frontpaws against the door, infront if it and try to make us come back. / welcome us
11 weeks old is way too young to be seperated from their mom. Kittens that age should not grow up without a furry friend. Can you bring himOne of my aunt's cats had kittens and she was looking for a home for them. I offered to take one of the kittens and she brought him over last Sunday.

(According to my wife) our cats have always thrown up, I think some cats are just more prone to overeating when food is always available to graze. It's quite distressing seeing Chloe (the skinner cat, who always used to be the chubbier one :( ) vomit, but she still eats otherwise. And she fucking loves roast chicken*!
Maybe look around at local shelters, 12 year old and 11 weeks is just asking for tension. A second kitten would be a really good playmate, as the older one wont be as interested in his childish games.
Sounds good to me. That you have another cat will help a lot. The kitten may well keep your older cat healthier for longer too, as she'll probably be more active than if she were solo.
They are getting along.
Thanks ! I bought a cable from amazon basics which seems way more robust then the cable that I got with the soubdbar. We'll see.
I've read just now that lemon and citrus is very unpleasant to cats, I'll try with that first since my GF and I love the smell.
I'm sure it's part of their algorithm, to promote newer threads and discourage bumping of older threads. You probably still have such threads bolded if you look at your Watched Threads list, but they don't give an alert if it's been some amount of time since you last checked the thread, or maybe due to the rate of postings, something like that.
