I brought home a stray kitten approx. 8 weeks old. It was getting along fine playing and warming up to the family and other cat. A few days in it developed a sneeze. We didn’t worry too much but then it turned into wheezing. We took it to the vet and they said it didn’t seem to be anything medicine will help and that the cat would be fine. We can’t get him to eat, drink, or move really. His sneezing is fading away, drainage is clear, and and breathing and heart rate are normal. But I’m concerned he’s going to get to weak and pass in his sleep. I can’t really afford to take him to a vet and have him put on fluids and monitored. Has anyway had this happen with a positive or negative outcome? Any insight would help.

i recently got a kitten he’s 13 weeks old, he’s laying on my bed and i went to leave but i accidentally tripped and landed on him in the bed, it felt like i fully squashed him but he isn’t hurt. but im most definitely hurt about it i feel so terrible but i tripped

Actual names: Luna and Waffles

Idk if this is weird to ask Reddit but idk thought it was silly and wanted to know if other people did it

I draw a lot of cats so here’s a drawing of my oc :]

My Turkish Van/tabby mix 5yo girl will demand to drink water from the faucet but she sits under the water and lets it run down her back and sides and drinks the water from her fur. It’s the strangest thing. Any clues why she does this?

A friend of mine got a new cat, a female calico (she doesn't have a name yet) and i'm very puzzled about what colour she is. It's very clearly a dilute calico, since the "black" is actually gray and the "orange" is actually cream. But in this picture you can clearly see a lot of brown... Is she a quad-colour calico or am I tripping?

Brown????

Her face: clearly cream, white, and gray.

I've just gotten back from the vet with my cat Diasy. Daisy has been my buddy since since I was born, sleeping with me everyday, I give her water from my sink everyday etc. For context I'm 14 just about 15 and she's 2-3 years older than me. She has liver/kidney/respatory issues and I'm not that upset. I've shed a tear knowing she's gonna be gone soon but overall I'm not that upset. As I've aged with her the thought of her death has been in the back of my head as she continued to get older. So now that she's dying it doesn't surprise me. But I also feel like I'm a phyco or I lack empathy which I feel like I don't In general but in the circumstance I do. Am I crazy or are my feelings valid?

It's been one year since I adopted him!

Okay last one I swear 😅 she’s just too cuute 🥰

She’s stretching her arm to touch my neck. I don’t think it’s scary, just wondering why this is a thing.

I got a new kitten 2 months ago. She is now 7 months. I have a chihuahua who does not like her because she plays/charges at him too much when he just wants to relax, so i have to keep them separated. I keep her in the living room and i keep him in my bedroom. When she is behind my bedroom door she keeps scratching up my door. My landlord came by and got mad because of this. I don't know what to do smh. I'm not big on cats but i had a mice problem which is mainly why i got her, second reason for a companion for my dog. Someone mentioned declawing but i want her to be able to have the highest advantage to catch mice. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Also she just cries a lot NON STOP sometimes and just keeps staying attached to my legs everywhere i go in my apartment. I shoo her away but she comes right back. I can't cook or barely move without her constantly rubbing up on my leg and it's insanely annoying. I do play with her a lot but apparently she still is not happy. I almost stepped on her paw once while i was preparing a meal because she kept creeping up on me. I have to put her in the bathroom or her carrier anytime i'm trying to cook now.

Sammy’s thickness finally got the best of the cat tree

We got a 8 week old kitten one week ago, everything was fine until a 4 days ago when he got his shots/deworming medicine, since then he has been on a bit if a decline with his health. The day after everything was normal but two days after he stopped eating and has been throwing up lots and super lethargic. He went to the vet today & all his test were normal, he was dehydrated and lost some weight, the vet thinks it could be a reaction to the shots/deworming medication. They gave him some meds for is nausea/some fluids, his energy levels seem better & he hasn’t thrown up since, but he is still refusing to eat unless we rub soft food on his gums & even then he isn’t eating a bunch. Has anyone else experienced this with a young kitten? If so is there a way to get him to eat/ what we can expect with his recovery? Any advice would be amazing as we are pretty worried for him.
