using your corgi as an instrument for scale is the best for estimating

This is my kitty Ash! Ever since he was a kitten, his pupils have typically been either very dilated or completely dilated. I paid a silly amount of money for an examination from a cat ophthalmologist (yes, that’s a real job), and she diagnosed him with congenital retinal detachment. His eyes sometimes appear green, but only because you’re seeing the cells behind his retina when his pupils are fully dilated.

Per the ophthalmologist, he’s about 95% blind… but he’s extremely bold, friendly, and playful despite this. He loves to sit in the hallway of my apartment building, greet neighbors, and sit at the top of the stairs leading down to our courtyard. My neighbors all love him and call him our “security guard.”

Has anyone else run into this with their cats? This is a condition often found in senior kitties, but I haven’t seen it with other young cats. Ash is only 3! ❤️

This is my little girl Kiki. She is a year old. 🥰

Do every cat loves their owner's sandals? She loves mine so much! She somehow becomes calmer around my sandals!

No location sadly because I got it at a rock show a few years ago. My nephew wants one and I know the table had a lot of them in different shapes and cuts but I can't recall the name of it. I know it is not quartz and tried to Google it but AI has ruined its search engine which is making it difficult to find. Bought it because lights goes through it beautifully.

I was "just looking" on Pet Finder when I came across those Disney Eyes (last pic is from her posting), and I knew she had to be mine 🥹

Yams is 6 years old and never had issues with her extra toes before, but this year she started pulling on the claws and chewing them into stubs. We found a cat orthopedist who determined that since Yams was putting weight on the malformed extra toes, they were causing pain. Her most outward normal toes had also started turning sideways because of how much she was compensating posture-wise. That unfortunately meant the thumbs had to go.

She's still recovering from the surgery but seems energetic and more bothered by the drugs and cone than having just been operated on. We on the other hand loved her big paws so it's like we're feeling the loss more than she is. Yams is a very active cat and I take her on walks with me, which probably contributed to the toe issues. A less active, exclusively indoor cat probably doesn't move around as much.

Despite losing her iconic thumbs, I'm looking forward to taking her on walks again. Curious to see if her silly gait stays or if she starts walking like a normal cat.

This also as a heads up that the extra toes aren't always problem free.

EDIT: Wanted to add that Yams was on painkillers for a week before we decided what to do with the toes. The gnawing stopped immediately. She was otherwise perfectly healthy and left other toes alone, so there was only one conclusion to come to.

There’s a friendly female cat that hangs out in our backyard that we’ve been feeding for a bit. Not spayed as far as I’m concerned. Her stomach has recently grown enough to the point where we think she’s pregnant (also puts her butt in the air when we pet her sometimes).

Advice? We’d want to scoop and send to a shelter as well as have her spayed in a catch and release, but I’m concerned about local shelter capacity and the time frame of care for newborns.

We CANNOT keep them by any means— just asking when we should take them to a shelter when they’re born and how long we’d have to keep them if the there’s a temporary hold?

Hi all! I am currently fostering these beautiful babies and their sweet mama. I know this is a tortico page but I'm figuring most of you probably know what falls into Tortoiseshell and Calico categories as well so maybe you can help me identify where these babies belong. 😊🙏

Also, they turned 4 weeks old yesterday. Is it too early to tell what kind of coat they might end up with? I know that Snickers will have a short coat but I'm curious if the others might have a medium or long coat, as adults.

1. Cricket - Tortico? Tuxetortico?

2. Daphne - Dilute tortie?

3. Snickers - Tortie? Tabbie?

4. Pumpkin - Calico?

5. Bianca -???

Thank you in advance!

Everyone gave Cielo such a warm reaction in our previous posts. I did have a few messages though saying the pictures of her were AI so thought I'd upload a little video. Tremendous thanks for all the love for her 🖤🤍

I have been calling her a dilute calico but this sub keeps getting recommended and I'm wondering if she's a dilute tortico?

shes so cute!! She is 8 weeks old now ^^ i wonder if shes gonna have short or long haired fur🧐
