Red just wanted to say ‘hemeow’ to y’all.

My cat (semi-outdoor) has been fighting (once with bloody injuries) with a cat that comes into the garden so I was on high alert though we have not seen the enemy cat for a couple of weeks. I heard my cat's low growl by the slightly open door (she remained indoor) in the middle of late night, so I went outside with a broom to shoo the other cat away. It was dark and I made some scary noises and tapping the ground with the broom's handle. The cat meowed and ran towards the light and it turned out that the cat does not fit the description of the enemy. The cat was very clumsy and confused like it does not know the garden very well. However, my instinct was still kicking in for a few more seconds, so I was still tapping the broom and walking towards the cat. During those seconds the cat tried to escape under the gate for which it is too big and then ran into the bushes and trees. I stopped after my senses kicked in that there is no use of my actions. I could still heard the noises in the bush for a few more seconds.

When I returned indoor my cat went out in the garden toward the bushes. I feel awful because I might have shushed a visitor, a friend, a long lost relative (they look exactly the same) or a frienemy away forever. Is there a chance this cat will return?

What can I do to let this cat know they are welcomed and that they should not be scared and that I am sorry? I want them and my cat to figure out if they are friends and happy to share the garden and our space and I am very worried that I just destroyed this possibility.

Note: my cat chose me last year and she is semi-outdoor. She always has access in and out of the house. There are other family members in the house that go in and out of the garden daily.

Thank you everyone who give me insights and advice in advance. Have a nice day.

Today on Instagram I just found out about a cat abusing ring in china that uses Telegram as a platform to sell videos of them abusing cats, where sick minded individuals “buyers” will join and discuss or request ways of torturing the cats, and if anyone if you have seen the cat in the blender video on twitter then you know how cruel and disgusting these people are, so please everyone sign this petition to help stop this and to spread awareness. https://chng.it/TYfM5Vnj7t

This is genuienly disgusting and saddening I don’t know how people like this exist.

I've taken my cat to the vets three times to be spayed, to be told she's too thin. First time she was 1.1kg, second time 1.5kg. After the second time, we were told that she needed to be a minimum 2kg before they would spay her.

I took her two weeks ago and she was 2kg and they said she was still too small.

It's been a long time since I've had a kitten, is this standard?

Hi friends! My orange boi is happy and healthy- we figured out his food allergies pretty early on and he has been on a hydrolysed protein diet ever since (dry food, wet food, treats, etc).

Unfortunately this means dental/breath treats like greenies aren’t an option. His vet has confirmed his teeth/mouth are healthy so no real concerns, he just loves to sit right in front of my face and his breath is foul 😂 any recommendations welcome! I’ve tried scouring the Internet for allergy safe dental treats but I don’t think they’re a thing :/

I’m currently pet sitting & this cat likes to bite when she’s not getting enough attention. It’s not a nip it really hurts & leaves a mark/bruise! She’s otherwise friendly but it makes me not want to pet her as she will randomly bite when being pet too. Of course the owners didn’t warn me. Any advice? TIA

I recently adopted another cat and she is very aggressive to our other cat, we have not had an opportunity to even really try to introduce them because she immediately attacks him. I imagine my other cat is really scared of my new one now, so i have no idea how to go about this.

if anyone has any advice id appreciate it

🤗🐈‍⬛😻 If anyone knows a good brush or routine for cats with long hair let me know! She is around 2 years old I believe

Izzie has been spending most of her days outside the yard, mainly on roofs and now she can't anymore, hoping she'll get used to it

My cat is 3-4ish years old now. She has yet to be fixed and is registered as my ESA. I finally have the money to afford getting her fixed, the problem is just moving her from one house to another when we moved, upset her terribly to where she hid in corners, cries and panics when moved out of dark hidden corners. Should I get her fixed, and just spend the few days after I have off holding her, or would she get too upset not only being gone for a while when they do it, but also being alone without people she knows around her.

So today I adopted my very first cat as a kitten, she’s half domestic short hair half siamese, and as I’m a first time cat owner I’m just looking for some general advice regarding these breeds, like are siamese more of an indoor or outdoor cat, that sort of thing. Any and all feedback would be great. Thanks :D
