Hi! I have 2 cats both female 2y/o and 5y/o. They’ve started really getting interested in jumping around in our closet so I’m going to add shelves so they can get around easier. I have 3 types of blue paint and want to choose the best color that they can see for the shelves. There’s not much light in there and want to make sure they are as safe as possible when we’re not home. (I love them so much lol) So help me decide!! I painted some paper plates and wrapped in plastic wrap then let them in the room at the same time to see which one they would gravitate towards and they seemed to have sniffed them all the same amount of time.

Did you know? It’s not only humans who know how to love faithfully even animals have hearts willing to give everything, even if it means enduring hunger and exhaustion.

Look at this mother cat despite the rain, the cold, and her own hunger, she never left her kittens. Even as her strength slowly fades, she still fights to protect those little ones who see her as their whole world.

This is where you realize… A mother’s true love isn’t measured by words, but by the sacrifices she’s willing to make. Even if some people see her as “just an animal,” you can feel her care, her fear, and her hope to keep her babies safe.

Thankfully, kindhearted people came to help. Thank you to those who continue to show compassion because sometimes, in the kindness we show to animals, God sees the goodness within our own hearts.

My cat Loki keeps peeing in my bed. He has clean litterbox with fresh litter, I clear it everyday and change the litter frequently. He has no problem with peeing/pooping in it. He uses it all the time. He has no medical issues, he's healthy, got him checked by a vet. Yet sometimes he pees in my bed, usually when I'm not home/in my room. He doesn't do this anywhere else. Sometimes it happens multiple times a week, sometimes 2 days in a row, sometimes he doesn't do it for a month and just when I think he finally stopped, he does it again. In past I used some anti-marking/anti urination spray for cats, it had a strong lemon odor and after like a week, he peed in the bed again.

Please help me as I'm losing my patience because I have to wash my bedsheets so often and it's really frustrating when at the end of the day I wanna go sleep tired and I come to bed just to find out he peed there again. I don't know how to prevent it, I'd appreciate any tips.

Thanks

The more I learn about cats, the more I realize how strange and fascinating these little creatures are 😂

They can have the funniest habits, surprising abilities, and behaviors that make you wonder what goes on inside their tiny heads.

I recently learned that cats can recognize their owner's voice but sometimes choose not to respond. Honestly, that explains a LOT. 😭

What's a cat fact you know that would surprise someone who has never owned a cat? 👀

I read a rather insanely wild statistic recently. In the United States alone....domestic and feral cats kill an estimated 2-4 BILLION birds every year.

I've even double checked this statistic and its correct. 2-4 BILLION birds. That's just birds. That doesn't include mice,lizards chipmunks...etc.

They are absolutely savage predators and are definitely in the Alpha Predator conversation.

They are extremely cute , ALL of them.

They are abundant , all countries have cats.

They are relatively cheap, a box to fit in and a paper ball to chase all day

They are sleeping most of the day, not bothering anyone , and when they wake up it is for eating or pooping or watching birds

They be gorgous looking like their eyes, the pink nose and beans!

How come something can be this perfect and almost free, when I have to work 10hours a day to make a living!! Not to mention climate change, pedophiles , wars and starving kids!!!

Hii

I just wanted to know what kind of cat my cat is.
I‘ve gotten mixed results across multiple websites.

She is round

Hey everyone, Just adopted a kitten born Sept 7, 2025. The person I got her from said she’s a Siberian longhair crossed with a domestic shorthair — but now I’m not sure if that’s accurate or if that was just a guess.

Details: grey coat, blue eyes (still quite blue at ~8 weeks), medium fluff, but not super long yet, tail not super plume-y yet, super cuddly and purrs a lot, a bit shy with being picked up

I know it’s basically impossible to know exact breed without DNA, but I’m curious what she looks like she could be mixed with.

Does she seem like she could have Siberian in her? Or is she more likely just a domestic shorthair / domestic medium hair?

Pictures attached — any insight appreciated!

My kitty this morning had extreme diarrhea. Which is very unusual. I’ve had him since a kitten and never experienced this with him. I looked at it and it has blood in it as well. I have a picture for my vet, and I will be taking in a stool sample next week. Has anyone experienced this? He’s not acting any different, I messed w his tummy, and picked him up. He’s acting completely normal. But this isn’t normal. I’m worried sick as this is my absolute baby. He’s only 5 and I’m thinking the worst is gonna happen. 😩 someone tell me my boy is gonna be okay.

One minute a cat is peacefully sleeping, and the next it's sprinting from room to room like it's late for an appointment. 😭😂

Sometimes they jump over absolutely nothing, turn around like something is chasing them, and then go straight back to sleep as if nothing happened.

Cats are honestly full of surprises.

Is there an actual reason behind these random bursts of energy, or are cats just naturally little chaos machines? 🐈

You’re sleeping peacefully.

Your cat: “I heard something.”

proceeds to investigate the entire house 😂

Do you think cats genuinely believe humans are their pets rather than the other way around?

Sometimes I wonder how much cats really understand about us. 😂

You can call their name ten times and get absolutely nothing, but whisper the word “treats” from another room and suddenly they're right beside you. 😭

Cats are such mysterious little creatures, and I love how they always seem to do things on their own terms.

What's one thing your cat does that makes you think they understand way more than they let on? 🐾

Cats can be so unintentionally funny. 😂 One minute they’re acting like royalty, and the next they’re chasing their own tail or getting scared by something they knocked over themselves.

I swear they have no idea how entertaining they are. 😭

What’s one silly thing your cat does that never gets old, no matter how many times you see it?

Cats are honestly a different species of drama. 😭

They'll ignore you when you call them, act like they don't know you even after you've fed them, randomly attack your feet, occupy your laptop when you're working, and suddenly start running around the house at 3 AM like they've got some unfinished business. 😂

And let's talk about the classic Indian household situation.

You bring a cat home and suddenly Mom and Dad are against the entire idea. "We don't want a cat inside this house!" "Who is going to look after it?" They won't even look at the poor thing properly.

But give it just TWO or THREE DAYS. Suddenly, Mom is asking whether the cat has eaten, Dad is buying its favourite snacks, and both of them are treating it like the youngest member of the family. Meanwhile, you're just standing there wondering whose cat this actually is. 😭😂

I swear, cats have some kind of secret power.

Anyway, cat people, what's your funniest, weirdest or most ridiculous experience with a cat? Doesn't matter if it's your pet or some random street cat that decided to adopt you.

Let's hear some stories! 😂🐈

Bro is licking his paw like he just finished a business meeting.

Meanwhile I’m sitting here wondering what his job is. 😂
