We bought him from a breeder. The documents looked fine—no heart issues, no known illnesses. Everything seemed in order.

But from the very beginning, he had health problems.

At just five months old, he suffered a urinary blockage. It was struvite stones. We had to rush him in for an emergency catheter. After the procedure, he was put on antibiotics, but he couldn't tolerate them—he had constant diarrhea. So we switched him to urinary food.

We tried to transition him slowly: three-quarters regular kibble, one-quarter urinary food, increasing over time. But he couldn’t handle Hill’s urinary kibble or wet food. It gave him severe diarrhea again.

We then switched to Royal Canin Urinary. It was slightly better—less diarrhea, but still on and off. Eventually, we moved to Royal Canin Individualis, which combined urinary and intestinal formulas. He also took probiotics regularly.

One Sunday, out of nowhere, another blockage. We rushed him to the emergency vet. They sedated him and drained his bladder with a catheter, then removed it, hoping that the problem was resolved.

But it wasn’t. First thing Monday morning, we took him to our regular vet. She placed another catheter and left it in for two days. When she removed it, she said we could take him home the next day.

That night, he had another blockage—not from stones this time, but due to inflammation. Spasms. She catheterized him again and added anti-spasm medication.

On Friday, she removed the catheter, ran some tests. Everything came back normal. His kidneys were fine. She told us we could pick him up Saturday morning.

Saturday morning, I called. And that’s when they told me—he had died during the night. Alone.

We are shattered. I blame myself. I blame the vet. I blame the world. It’s unbearable to live without him.

Seriously, fuck this world.

I posted him a while ago when I first got him and r/cats said he was overweight (see post history). While he wasn't overweight then, he's definitely overweight now. My mother had taken care of him for 9 months while I'm in school. I got him back recently and while some of it is his winter coat, he's definitely............chonky. And perfectly round.

My wife and I had to say goodbye to our 19 year old boy yesterday just a couple weeks after his birthday. I wish everyone could have met him because he was so sweet and so full of love for everyone he came across.

I wish I had more to say but I’m just so emotional right now and I just wanted to share some pictures so the world could see him too. Please enjoy Harry.

When we bought her we were told that she was show quality (and paid for show quality) and I was just wondering if she was? I don’t plan on showing her, and we didn’t intend to buy a show quality ragdoll, that’s just what was available, I just want to know if it appears to be true! I love her sososo much:)

Booked my male kitten in to be neutered. Didn’t think I had to be specific (new owner) because I thought it was obvious that he was a boy, and I’d been to the vets two times prior to this appointment. While I was at work, I received a phone call that they couldn’t find my kitten’s ovaries during the surgery……… cried at work lol. It took them over a week to confirm that the wouldn’t be charging me for his eventual castration. Currently have him in a onesie and still waiting to book his castration :(

and yet he's still worth the daily vacuums and mountain of lint rollers I go through 💙 follow for more cloud content: https://www.instagram.com/yeti.says.meow/

Stout & Moonbeam. Ps I’ve upgraded their tower to facilitate more of this 🤣

he’s so silly looking

We take the train regularly to get to work or visit family and it’s routine at this point. But today we had to take one especially early and as you guys can see: He is TIRED 😂

I’m completely in shock. My kitten, Tofu, got extremely sick, extremely fast, last week and we were initially told it was an abscess that could be removed but today I was told that he has FelV and FIP and an infection with mycoplasma in the abdominal area. The vet believed the best thing would be to put him to sleep. His chances of surviving with both of those diseases and then an infection were slim, he wouldn’t have any quality of life during the few extra months we could give him.

He drew his last breath this afternoon. I wanted him to live so desperately, but he was in so much pain and stress. I couldn’t prolong that for my own need. I wanted him to live so much. I wanted more time with him.

I got him as a companion earlier this year after I lost my mom to cancer, in exactly three weeks it’ll be the one year death anniversary of my mom, I feel like the universe is playing a cruel joke on me. My only solace is knowing somewhere out there my little baby is now keeping my mom company.

But I’m in so much shock. When I woke up this morning I didn’t know he would be dying this afternoon. It kills me he never got a proper chance at life. 7 months is just too short.

Coming home to an empty house is the most awful feeling I’ve ever experienced, I completely broke down when I saw his water fountain, I got it a month ago and he loved it, but he’ll never drink from it again and I’ll never need to wash it for him again. I just bought so many toys for him that he will never get to play with. And so many snacks he will never get to enjoy.

Not having him meowing at my feet for his evening meal feels awful. Not having him sit on the counter while I brush my teeth feels awful. Knowing I don’t need to keep my bedroom door open tonight feels awful. Knowing I’m not going to wake up to his purring and his cold wet nose on my face is awful. I can’t believe my baby is gone forever.

I’m sorry this is so long and depressing. I just need someone out there to know he existed. And that I love him so so so much

We tried everything to find its owners and took her to the vet. No microchip, no tattoo. She's only 10 weeks old. Joe, tell me what do I have in store for myself because I love her already

He does this all winter, but only sometimes in the summer as he gets too warm.

Show how your fluff sleeps on you 🥰

Just an appreciation post for my beloved Rover Mae, she was found at my work over two years ago and i just love her so much, she is so talkative and is my alarm clock in the morning, she is so loving and i can’t understand why anyone would have let her go… I heard some cats find you, and i think we both needed each other, im so grateful for her and her big beautiful eyes, took her to vet and she was microchipped, wasn’t updated since 2013 and found out her former name was queenie! she kind of waddles i think something with her back legs but none the less she seems very healthy for her age and still runs around jumps on the bed, so grateful for her!!

Hey folks,

We’ve had our sweet lil Coco for a few months now and we love her to bits. But there are lots of times when she looks…. angry. Like really really angry. Like “gonna kill you in your sleep and bathe in your blood” angry

Is this normal?

Thanks, Scared Sleepless

My 2 year old, Howie, got stepped on and at the same time ran. His tail was broken and unsavable. It had to be amputated. We were all so sad, especially my husband who stepped on him. Does anyone else have a cat who has lost a tail due to injury? How long did it take to recover? Any balance problems? He’s heavily medicated with Gabapentin for pain and some other pain medication too. He’s being a very good boy and leaving the tail alone hence no cone.

Today my 7 month old cat got spayed and the receptionist told me that the vet made a note that my cat is too heavy. i tried arguing with them that she’s a ragdoll and they tend to be bigger but they told me i should be careful and start watching her weight. she’s 7 months old and 7.5 lbs … is it wrong for me to be skeptical of their advice?

I've been building for a while now, and I'm very proud of myself how far I've come😊 not 100% done yet, but I just wanted to share my happy cats🐱🐱🐱

Except the floof… there is so much more.
