EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO!!! One of my parents' last indoor-outdoor cats (RIP Mr. Mojo Rising!) led a stray litter of kittens home, probably dropped off at the farm down the road. Guen is the last one left. She stayed in PA with my parents, because I knew it would be better for her than dragging her off to stressful situations. She has anxiety just like her people. Also my mom has vet tech experience and my parents are retired homebodies and financially stable, so I know she will be well taken care of for the rest of her days. She has never been a lap cat, but will lay beside you and must be touching you. I still miss her so bad, but she is doing great health-wise and hopefully will make it into her 20s.

Happy Eighteenth Birthday, My Lady Guenhwyvar!

please help me and my cat survive this summer

making a new post because i think the urgency got lost in the last one. i need to move in a month and a half and have no housing options, i'm disabled and very socially isolated with severely limited mobility and i'm in an area very close to wildfires that may need to evacuate. i am not able to cover my basic needs right now, let alone travel or alternate shelter. i have an old sick cat who needs meds and a vet trip, and a microchip if we have to evacuate. i am trying to get my new glasses before my situation worsens bc the ones i've had for 6 years are the wrong prescription, broken and painfully small.

Support BB

help support me and my cat while i deal with chronic illness <3

anything helps. please help.

Been seeing a lot of @jimmyhoffathecat and remembered my own creature has similar goblin-esque energy- i lovingly call her my freak of nature/trash cat because she used to be a stray, and she likes eating literally anything she's not supposed to❤️

Serious Question

My brother's cat (14 years old- the cat, not him) is not eating and we don't know why.

He said they went to the vet, and the vet recommended senior cat food, but she won't eat more than a few bites.

Wet food and dry food are both being refused, and while she IS interested in his dog's wet food, stealing the dog food is also making her throw up.

She's still snuggly and purrs when pet- still makes biscuits and drools when you rub her chin, runs from the dog and growls when he gets silly- but she's become frighteningly thin.

Does anyone with senior cat experience have any ideas for helping her gain weight?

She used to be an absolute brick of a cat- just a solid unit, caught pests like nobody's business- so it's really hard to see her this tiny

Any advice at all is appreciated. Thanks
