r/catquestions

He only makes this sound when he’s playful, but I’ve never heard a cat make this sound before. It’s kind of like a bark

so just a few minutes ago, before my cat woke up, i noticed that most of the time when he sleeps he does this scary twitch thing and i happen to have had the chance to record it on video this time

is that a usual thing for cats to do or should i be concerned :(

I’ve been thinking my cat my have feline hyperesthesia syndrome, but havent been able to get into the vet yet. Does this look like something similar or is this an er vet visit? unusual for her.

No medical history, up to date on all vaccines. Not an outside cat.

I recently adopted this baby about 6 days ago and I am keeping her till the 8th. She will be moving in with my boyfriend since she cant live with me due to me having two dogs who aren’t fond of cats but at his house she will be able to roam around more. I am just nervous she will not be comfortable or will it give her anxiety because I feel like we have grown a bond. I am obviously going to be still going over to visit her and we are soon to be moving in together. Please someone ease my mind and tell me she will be okay

My 3-month-old kitten has these spasms (especially after eating). Since we took it it has never been particularly good with the intestines, but since we changed the diet (on the advice of the vet), and we started giving it royal canin gastrointestinal kitten, it has worsened further with frequent attacks of diarrhoea and this spasms so much that we decided to return to the previous food. We took him to the vet several times and no one was able to help us. More common parasites and viruses have been excluded. Thanks to those who will help me

Occasionally I will notice that my cat’s paw is swollen, usually after taking a long nap. It never seems to cause her any distress (I can touch / squeeze it with no reaction), it’s not warm to the touch, she isn’t licking it or limping and it goes away after a bit. Planning to ask the vet also but just wondering if this is something that happens to other cats too? Maybe if she’s sleeping on it for a long time?

First time cat owner here! I adopted my sweet Felix a little over a year ago. He is a very cuddly and vocal cat. Whenever he is meowing I look to make sure he has water and food (which he does), his litter box is clean and check he isn't hurt or anything but is there any thing else I should be checking for or is he just trying to chat? I talk back to him for the most part but I want to be sure he isn't needing anything I'm forgetting to provide.

Any insight would be helpful! Cat tax for visibility :)

He’s been spayed when he was a kitten, he’s 6 now. Looking like humping to me lol
He’s had that toy for years but I’ve never seen him do this.

I’m honestly impressed and disgusted. Anyone else’s cat do this?

Can anyone tell me why my cat is like this? She does this when she wants out of the bathroom, when I gave her 50 chances to leave and told her I was closing the door. She also does this in the middle of the night when we are in bed, I will see her on a wall in the living room screaming. Is this a void problem or what… anyone else have a cat like this?

10 days since my kitten was spayed is it safe to take her surgical suit off

we brang our kitten home around 26 hours ago and she hasn’t pooped. at first she wouldnt eat, drink or go to the toilet however this morning she started drinking some water and had some wet food/ chicken but not a lot i would say just about a pouch. she’s peed 3 times but not pooped!, i’m starting to get worried as it’s been over 24 hours and i’ve tried massaging her belly and the warm compress (stimulus) so i’m unsure how long to leave it till it’s very worrying. our normal vet appts arnt open till monday so only option if needed is emergency vets which can be quite expensive. she also seems a little younger than 9 weeks just due to her weight or she’s the runt!. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

update: have taken her to the vets today all in good health no medical reason! so waiting another day or so for her to go before taking her back !

So people who wanted to know what this was yesterday. It turns out he was bitten by a wolf spider and that actually was the entire reason for the infection where he almost died a week before that we had no clue about we had him on antibiotics and everything became OK after ungodly amount of money then his neck went down because it was swollen for a little bit but then all of a sudden like a week later we seen this growth on his neck and we were wondering what it was so I posted yesterday asking people what it was but that we went to finally says it was a wolf spider bite that the wolf spider bite was what caused the entire thing to begin with and he said that thing on his neck will fall out eventually and you’ll just see the muscle so that’s crazy I didn’t know that at all but yeah just so people know for the future this is what a spider bite looks like when it’s done with… he also gave us some spray to spray on it 6 to 7 times a day but yeah he said that will eventually fall out

I was just laying down and took this selfie with him and saw this on his leg. I touched it and its not bumpy. He doesn’t seem agitated by it or anything but just curious if anyone has experienced this before. Also yes i agree he’s laying down in a weird position lool

EDIT: he has a spot on both legs. I think its friction?? Ill post the photo below
