We want to help you identify problems if we can, and we want to help you identify the sex of your cat/kitten if we can. Please do provide pictures - but also PLEASE mark your post NSFW. This obscures the thumbnail image in the feed so people don't get surprise cat butts while scrolling. It's as easy as including the text "NSFW" in your title just like I did - Reddit marks it for you when you do that.

If you come across a surprise cat butt, please report it and we will mark it NSFW. Thanks everyone. (this applies to any picture that can be disturbing, not just surprise buttholes)

Is this normal behavior for two unrelated, neutered males? Just curious!

31 Upvotes

Both cats are male, both have been neutered, and they are completely unrelated. The black and white long-haired one doing the grooming (Pepé Le Pew) is 6 years old, and the all black one being groomed (Oreo) is about 3 years old.

Is this normal behavior for unrelated male cats? I don't have a problem with it at all, I absolutely love that they do this (we call it their bromance), I'm just curious as to whether this is a common occurrence or if their bromance is unique :)

Is this a runt?

This kitten was given to me when its eyes were closed, she got fed every 2-3 hours with milk. Now she can eat, has her eye color, run and play. She just looks too small. Does anyone know what's up with her or is she just a little bit delayed?

So I encountered this cat outside of my apartment when I got home. I clicked my tongue and it ran to me across the parking lot. I pet it for a bit and then went to my apartment. It’s been outside my door for a half hour. I have two cats that’ll be moving in soon and two’s the limit of cats we can have in the apartments. What do I do? The kitty’s cute and this is the first time this has happened to me

Is it normal for my cat to groom all day

14 Upvotes

Posted my new found Calico cat yesterday, but quick question,
Is it normal for her to groom all the time? We got her a week ago, freshly spayed and vaccinated. We have been keeping an eye on her licking her stomach area, and shes been good about that when we tell her to stop, but she grooms herself like multipleeeee times a day. Is that normal? Looked up that it could be anxiety or overstimulation, but even when shes laying alone in her hut shes grooming.
Dont get me wrong, maybe its not alll the time, but still strange.

is her breathing okay?

3 Upvotes

This is my cat she's 4years old and slightly overweight. She was diagnosed with mild heart murmur due to the extra weight and I've noticed her breathing to be fast ish. Is this something I should go see a vet/cardiologist for and spend $220+ on? her general behavior is completely normal other than the breathing. In this video she had just started resting after grooming her toes intensely, so nothing too tiring.

thank you guys

Am I going crazy or is one of her pupils more dilated than the other?

Hey everyone! My sister just sent me this picture of my baby Kai and I noticed one of her pupils is slightly more dilated than the other. She doesn’t like being picked up so pictures are kinda hard to get but… should I be concerned?

I’ve never seen that happen to her before. She’s acting normally. Her last vet visit was about 3 months ago and she was in perfect health. She’s 3yo.

Picture 1 and 2 were taken 20 min ago and I’ll attach a couple more of what her eyes looked like the past few days. I appreciate any advice:)

is my resident cat hurting my kitten?

5 Upvotes

for context they get along, playing especially. Lately i noticed the kitten makes noises now when she plays. they both get into play severely. She will make this noise that to me sounds like he’s hurting her so i tell him to stop and cut playtime. Ignore my bf laughing he’s playing league. But she makes this noise but prolonged and louder like a cry.

Cat lip sore

2 Upvotes

My cat has the sore on the side of his lip. It was white like a canker sore and then I think it’s crusting now that’s why it’s changing colour. He had cat acne for about a month despite me using stainless steel bowls and cleaning it all the time. Any advice on what this could be? It showed up on the left side of his mouth, but went away on its own within a week. Two weeks later now it’s on the other side of his mouth. I will be scheduling an appointment with my vet for sure. I’m just worried.

Bump by his eye first day seeing this. Should I be concerned or could it just be a bug bite, style or a scab from my other cat who could have possibly scratched him ?

My Cat recently got spayed on Saturday, Oct 17 so it been about 3 to 4 days since and her meows have been like a raspy cough or it sounds like she congested. When she sleeping her snoring is really loud almost human like. Is this normal? I also want to add she does have asthma so idk if that plays a part in it.

6m kitten wobbling/ sleeping more

1 Upvotes

I (27y/o in U.S) have a 6 month old (not neutered) male tabby that has started walking with his hind legs bowed/ tucking his hind legs in. This behavior started 4 days ago, he was still very active (jumping onto surfaces, running around etc) and then a say or so later stopped moving as much and started walking wobbly on his hind legs, twitching his tail more, having trouble jumping onto things, mostly laying in the same spot all day and sleeping a lot more. He has continued eating and drinking regularly. His bathroom habits were completely normal until 2 days ago when his bowel movements got much smaller. He is still urinating a regular amount- we switched to white/ ph color changing litter when this all started and everything is normal. I took him to the vet 2 days ago and they said all seems fine with him neurologically and “time will be our best indicator here”. She checked his abdomen which is not swollen and he is not showing any signs of pain in that area or in his hind legs. His fip/ fiv/ snap elisa tests came back negative, the vet ordered blood testing ($400) that I can’t afford this week. I have another vet appointment at a different office in 5 days.
We got him from a bad environment with a lot of cats. He was 4 weeks old when we got him- he was on meal replacer until 9 weeks. Around 4 months he started showing signs of pica- only licking surfaces, never eating dirt or litter etc. The vet (last month) seemed unworried about it and said some cats are just into some surfaces, since we had never had a problem with swallowing things in the past I didn’t worry. I switched to Acana high protein kitten food 1 month ago (right after vet appointment)

Any help or advice is appreciated. I have an appointment at a different vet in 5 days but I just want my little guy to feel better again. I know this will be an expensive journey figuring things out which is why I have to spread testing etc out so any help in the mean time or suggestions is very appreciated.

Why does my cat drool so much?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have never had a can drool so much before. She drools the most in her sleep (photo is her just waking up from a nap).

And she drools even when she's not asleep, and then she'll shake her head and drool will go flying everywhere. She's three years old and has always been like this. She's probably the weirdest out of all my cats.

Is it okay that she drools so much? Is it normal? Should I be concerned?
