my long haired kitties always get litter & even dingle berries in their butt hair. they don’t let me trim it much. any advice?

So my cat has recently found out that he can climb the mosquito net door and could climb up into my room. I let him inside obviously by opening the second floor door, since he ends up getting stuck there, and honestly in a certain way it’s convenient for me to let him in from my room after he hangs out in the patio. But i need him to STOP, i live in a rent house and i definitely don’t want to fix the mosquito net, and also more for his safety. I just woke up and heard him meowing from there, I have no idea how long has he been there and he can not get down. I leave the house every day for about 10 hours and I wouldn’t like for him to climb there for fun and then have to wait for me to open the door when im not home :( any tips to make this stop?

Background- Chopstix was adopted about 3 weeks ago. He was rescued as a stray with an ear abscess and a wound on his neck. He eats very well, always acts like he’s starving. He gets a mix of wet and dry food twice a day, with dry food as a “snack” during the afternoon. He also gets high calorie gel twice a day with his wet/dry meals. Is there anything else we can be doing to help him gain a little weight? Not trying to get him fat, but I would like to see him gain a couple pounds.

Is there anything we can/should do for them? I’m guessing they’re around 1-2 weeks old. Their mother (a stray cat) had another litter of 7 a few months back and we tried to give them some shelter when it was raining really bad but she ended up relocating them completely and leaving one behind. We don’t want to take them from their mother or interfere too much but I am worried about their health/safety and want to help out a little if I can

I've had Mary for like 4 years and I've always thought she looked funny. She has these short legs that make her less nimble than other cats & sometimes she seems more like a dog than a cat. Fur is like medium-long. Maybe she's some kind of mix?

And he looks like this? I posted in another thread a while back about my neighbours cat who we fed when they abandoned him (the dad was ill and wanted to go to his own country to die, family went with him). We stopped because they came home and started shouting at him for coming into our garden. He’s just come in again and he looks like this ?

Do I call the rspca? Is there anything they can do to help? Anything I can do? I can’t afford to take a cat that isn’t mine to the vets but he’s breaking my heart.

My cat of 13 years has recently been stealing any of my socks he can find, bringing them out into the living room and laying them out orderly. He usually does this when everyone is alseep or away, and will meow all night when he does it. He usually meows very loud while the sock is still in his mouth. Why does he do this?

We have a cat in our neighborhood that is in horribly rough shape. He has a deep injury behind his ear that seems like it won’t heal, issues with his back left paw leading to limping, and a range of other skin issues including fleas that lead to his fur coming off in tufts.

He’s been around for a while and I’ve fed him and sat with him so much that we have a lot of trust to the point that he lets me pet him (with gloves, as he has visible skin infections that I don’t want to risk spreading to my two furballs), so I know I’d be able to get him to a vet if that’s what’s recommended here.

My main concern is, cost of the vet & will they just put him down? He’s not fixed and has so many issues I’m terrified they’ll just put him down and that would destroy me, because while he’s obviously hurting, he doesn’t seem too sad. Purrs when I pet him and has cute little meows. Any help is appreciated.

I just noticed my 18 months old cat has a red bump (about 1mm in diameter)on the right side of his belly. Also a small bald spot around the bump.

Is this a wart? I know that cats can grow warts that are benign as they grow older but it worries me because he is so young.

He is in healthy shape, normal energy levels, eating well and no abnormalities in bowel movements.

Hi everyone this is my kitten Ahsoka, she's 12 weeks old now and only eats dry food. I've tried to slowly mix wet food with the dry food and just mixing water in but she will not eat it, also tried cat soup and mousses - my question is is dry food alone enough for a healthy diet? ( currently feeding applaws dry food ) Also I wanted to know what type of cat breed she looks like, I know her mum is a ragdoll but she looks exactly like her dad and I'm not sure what he is ?

What is the black bubble on the side of the cats face? I reckon it's a stray cat as there's many living in a barn near here. The cat is super friendly.

We just rescued her since she would have probably died if left alone. I'm guessing she's around a month old but not sure. Anyone know what's wrong with her eye, is it a birth defect or can it be treated? Please let me know.

I don't live at my house most of the time (complicated family situation) and I came home to her looking a lot like she did last time she was pregnant. I've been saving money to get her fixed because my parents have refused to but I just lost my job so I probably won't be able to for a while and it's looking like I wouldn't be able to even if I could. No one in my house is admitting to letting her out and they're saying she hasn't been out in the last month but I'm absolutely convinced they're lying. Also in case anyone asks her ears are not cropped she lost them to a frostbite injury. She is an indoor cat and I never let her out.

I found this cat under my truck the other day. It looks like her inner eyelids are stuck and one looks damaged. How bad is that for her? Is she going to go blind? How expensive a surgery is it?

He’s an 11 year old with chronic rhinitis and there’s no mention of the funky nasal bridge that’s missing some fur. Any thoughts? Any at home treatments?

Not sure if this sort of post is allowed …or even if its worth your time but I cant get this off my mind - and Im struggling to read some of the body index resources for cats. Essentially my mum commented on how thin my cat looked, and even joked about calling rspca. i know she wouldnt but now im concerned, could I be underfeeding her? I am fairly strict with eating schedule and food amount but that is mostly because when I lived with my mum she would always feed the dog table scraps, including really fatty things like bread and butter or just huge slices of cheese. No matter how much I scolded my mum for it. But obviously I dont want to swing too far in the other direction and be underfeeding her.

Aside from this she seems very happy and energetic, super playful and get into all sorts of trouble. yes she gets excited at food time (which my mum said is more evidence that I’m starving her) but I thought all cats were like that? toilet habits are okay too from what I can see so I dont want to go to a vet about it, but I really just want to stop worrying. With only my own beliefs, how can I be sure?

The more I stare at these pictures the more worried im getting lol. For more info, she is just over a year old, and she gets 85g of wet food a day. Half in the morning half in the evening with a handful of dry food with each meal. Sometimes she also gets a dried chicken supplement for extra protein but thats only when we have it.

Any help would be appreciated. I know this must be a pretty common, basic question but I feel like I cant trust my own eyes anymore, and the more I stare at those examples of skinny vs avg vs fat cats the less I feel I trust my eyes, yknow?

So yesterday I posted about this weird thing in my cats eye(500k views🤯) and there where tons of comments telling me that it was a tattoo, rubber band, or maybe even a parasite. Some people even accused me of abusing my cat which is completely wrong. Most of the comments where helpful and led to me finding the real answer. It was a hair. It was a perfect coiled circle which made me doubt it was but I had a family member who is a vet check it out. He took it out with no problem and it was 100% a hair. And the reason the skin in her eye was almost covering her whole eye is because I took the picture while she was sleeping and I just opened her eyelid a bit. So yea she's fine and thank you guys for all of your help.

sometimes when she snuggles me she licks me, and then in between licking me she just… bites? she’s not usually aggressive about it. are some cats just…. more bitey than others? I’ve only had her for a little under a year and she seems to bite a lot when she plays. (And loves chewing on fingers)
