No tuxedos, please. All posts must include a black cat, but as long as it has a black cat, it's permitted. A lil bit of white chest fluff is okay.

4. Banned topics

  • No fundraising.

5. No reposts/spam

Discussion of details in the comments is permitted.

7. Soliciting medical advice is not permitted

This subreddit is not the place to ask questions about your cat's injury or sickness. The best advice an anonymous internet stranger can give is to consult a vet. Moderators reserve the rights to remove or otherwise moderate comments suggesting treatments.

Void thinks he's a dog!

He will literally play with anything, kitchen roll, wrappers, bras...but he always trots about so happy with himself, current toy in mouth!

Any advice to keep cats off the counter?

This is my cat Cinder.

She has conquered her fear of tin foil.

She loves to be sprayed with water.

She is the the most persistent cat I have ever met. If you put her on the ground she jumps right back on the counter no matter how many times you try.

I don't want to yell at my cat because I love her too much. Any advice? I'm really afraid of her accidentally turning on the stove or sink. I currently have a giant annoying barricade set up but I don't want to live with crap all over my counter all the time. What has worked for you?

What would cause my cat to lose fur on his ear over the course of 2 days?

Noticed a bald spot on his ear that started developing two days ago and it’s just getting bigger. It’s even grown in size today. I’m making him an appointment tomorrow but does this warrant an urgent care visit?

I gave him a flea + tick treatment last week for supervised outdoor time in a tent. He’s been outside in the tent for a total of about 5 hours since then. Could it be ear mites?

Need advice

I just adopted a black kitty who kept breaking into my boiler room via a coal shute. He is such a sweet cat. He's so loving and affection. But my dogs (shih tzu and mini dachshund) and two other cats are afraid of him. He bullies them. He goes after my small cat, Hermione. He goes after my dogs. Tries to go after my other cat, Crookshanks, but he is big and stands his ground. Recently I took my dog (dachshund) to the vet for a problem with her eye to find out that her cornea is lacerated and I can't help but think it was him since he always bullies her. He also is always into something. He knocks the trashcan lid off and eats the garbage. He also gets into my kitchen and destroys stuff. I love the little guy. He's such a lover so I don't want to rehome him if I can. But I'm seriously considering it bc idk what else to do.

For context, vet said he's around 3 years old. He wad a stray (like I said, He broke into my house). He is fixed. I've had him since the beginning of February.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate it. I don't have a lot of experience with cats. Crookshanks was my first and I've had him for 3 years. Thanks in advance!

Are black cats inherently unafraid of loud noises?

At first, I thought my cat was deaf. I can hammer, use power tools, drop a metal lid. Nothing. The only thing Judge runs from is a plastic bag being shaken open.

UPDATE: After I posted this I was preparing a meal in the kitchen. And then I knew. There was Judge sitting perfectly still at the entrance of the kitchen. Just like a dog. I got the idea to say "cookie". Oh shit. Judge went nuts, just like a dog. He's been raised with larger dogs that love to play. He loves getting called "good boy" and pats on the head. He's perfect. I'm sure he was raised in a large loving busy chaotic home. Nothing phases him. I bought a bubble-boy backpack and went right in. No problem.

If your void could take on a human form what would they look like ?
I believe Boris would be a tall african american man that has mad crazy swagger.
