Hi. I’ve been fostering this cat with CH (wobbly cat syndrome) for about a month now and im a little concerned. I’ve fostered a few CH cats before but nothing this severe. Miko is 5 months old and is seemingly really frustrated with his lack of mobility. He isn’t able to walk or even stand
:( It just makes me really sad. He’s had two infections from urine scalding in a month alone. He has to sleep in a cage at night and can’t be left alone when he’s not supervised as he’ll hurt himself. Every morning his litter is everywhere, he can’t be kept with water or food or it will go everywhere and Im not sure how to help him. He has ripped off his diaper each time and just whines when he is in one. It’s pathetic and makes me so sad for him.

He can’t be litter trained either and needs to be hand feed. He tries to play with my resident cat and loves his banana toy but everything else just frustrates him. He’ll try to get around for a little bit and then will starting howling untill I move him around, brush him, wipe or or fulfill whatever his needs are. He gets bitey and will scratch when he gets this frustrated. Does anyone know what I can do? I don’t have the means to care for him long term but I woryy try about finding a home for him, i’m his 3rd foster in two months and he is very silly but high need cat. Should I keep trying to out the diaper on him at night, or continue leaving him with litter, he can move a few feet on his own but has learned to just yowl out when he wants me to move him to the litter box. My vet advised me against pee pads because he needs to be fully wiped down after bathroom use to prevent scalding, and if he doesn’t yowl out for me I won’t know to clean him.

Thanks for reading.

Hi. This is a bit of a long story but i’ll try to make it as quick as possible. I live at home with my parents and my 5 year old cat. I fully pay for everything for the cat and my sister did not live at home when I adopted her. She is recently divorced because her husband was awful and she didn’t listen to us and now she and my niece have no place to stay. My niece is 4 is is apparently “severely” allergic to cat. He throat will get scratchy and her eyes swell up, I’ve offered to even pay for allergy shots but my sister said no because my niece is scared of needles… Zyretc and other over the counter pills don’t work and my parents won’t make them move out. I’ve tried separating my baby from my niece but she still has flare ups and apparently can’t cope with them. My ex-in law won’t even see my niece so her going to live with her isn’t an option and eveyone is my family is making me feel like a POS for not immediately fawning over my niece and rehoming my cat.

Is there anything that has worked for you? My sister isn’t moving out anytime soon and it’s been 5 months. We’ve tried giving my cat anti-allergy food like purina live clear but she will hunger strike for days on end and it hasn’t worked. I brush her everyday and vacuum 2 times daily.

GETTING ANOTHER CAT IS NOT AN OPTION….

My cat will not stop crying when I am gone and I don’t know what to do. I might have to rehome her
‼️‼️‼️‼️I HAVE BEEN TO THE VET AND MY CAT IS VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH OTHER CATS TO THE POINT WHERE SHE HAD TO BE REMOVED FRIM THE SHELTER AND COMPLETELY ISOLATED FROM THE OTHER CATS THAT LIVED WITH HER FOSTER. I AM ONLY CONSIDERING REHOMING BECAUSE MY LANDLORD TALKED TO ME AND SAID HE WILL NOT RENEW MY LEASE BECAUSE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CONSTANT MEOWING. ‼️‼️‼️I HAVE A FEILWAY FOR EACH ROOM

Hi, my cat is about 5 years old and a girl, she was a stray cat that got tnred but was nice enough to be adopted out. I got her about 6 months ago. The shelter I got her from socialized her for an about a year. She doesn’t like other cats at all and was kept in a volunteers house as a foster because she couldn’t be kept in the shelter. She is a normal cat when i’m home albeit a bit aloof. She can be a bit aggressive during play and I don’t see her much unless she’s eating or playing me with me. She gets bored of play after like 20 minutes but she cas cat trees and vertical spaces to climb on the walls. I have a feliway and I give her gabapentin when I leave my apartment because of this issue.

The issue is she cries when I am gone until I come home. It is very concerning, my neighbors have complained and i’m either going to have to rehome her by the end of the month or move and I can’t afford that now. It’s very loud like in the video and I don’t know why or what to do. She keeps her space from me when I am home, so it’s not even like she misses me. I leave the cat TV on for her and she has plenty of things to do. She plays by herself and chills out at home but when i’m at work or out of the house she sits in the entry room and cries. I feel awful but I don’t even now what to do, she hates other cats and we have a one pet policy at my place. I really don’t have long to fix this and it makes me so sad. I’m at work 9-4 MWF and saturday.

Sorry for the short video longer versions wouldn’t upload. Vet is accessible cat is fixed and i’m an adult.

If you comment about getting another cat i’m blocking you lol.

Hi. A few months ago we had to put down our family cat after she was diagnosed with cancer. She was 11 and all the medication and chemotherapy costs would have been too expensive for us to pay for, and we weren’t in a position to take out loans. It was around 5k for the treatment but if she was younger and had a better chance for recovery we might have done it.

What is the most that you’d be able to spend on your cats vet treatment. Everything is so expensive now. Obviously the answer is different for everyone depending on their financial situation but i’ve heard of people going thousands in debt for their cats and it makes me feel guilty for not trying to do the same. She was my parents cat but I grew up with her.
