My cat is a male and his name is Oasis, he got a big brother and has been adopted In a animal shelter when he whas still a baby kitty , I love him SOOO MUTCH like my grandma gave it to my mother before she died so he kinda remind me of her, ye is a good cat and a gentle one he likes sleeping in random places and kneading my belly like it's dough when I sleep.

Took this photo when I got the old fart 6 years ago, he's still kicking and finding more comfortable poses to sleep in

She fits in comfortably

Knocked out. He’s liquid in the sense that this little guy prefers to be a long puddle opposed to a nice curled up ball. 🥰

Hello everyone,

I could really use some advice about a little kitten we recently took in from outside. He’s about 7 weeks old and hasn’t received any vaccinations yet.

We’ve noticed that he’s quite hoarse. During the day he was rather lethargic and slept a lot, but late in the evening he suddenly had a huge burst of energy and played very actively for over an hour.

As for eating, he’s a bit picky and is eating less than usual, but he’s drinking really well. Around 9:30 PM he drank plain water on his own, and after playing he also drank a good amount of kitten milk.

There was one incident where he gagged immediately after meowing, but other than that he hasn’t been gagging or vomiting at all.

Last night we had a fan running in the room. It wasn’t blowing directly at the kitten, but we’re wondering if the airflow could have dried out or irritated his throat and vocal cords. Another thought we had is that it may have been a brief episode of reflux because his stomach was full of milk and the meowing triggered a gag reflex.

We’re going to monitor him closely over the weekend. As long as he continues drinking well, eating, and remains stable, we’d like to wait until Monday morning to see our regular veterinarian instead of going to the emergency clinic and paying the much higher emergency fees. Of course, if his condition gets worse at any point, we’ll take him to the emergency clinic immediately.

What do you think? Does this sound more like throat irritation from the airflow, or could it be the beginning of an upper respiratory infection (cat flu)? Has anyone experienced something similar with such a young, unvaccinated kitten?

Thank you very much for any advice!

That doesn't seem comfortable

The second she's on my legs, she melts... lap? She balls up. Go figure.

I’ve never seen wint use this part of her 4 year old cat tree :0

This is Bumble. While my other cats sleep like normal cats, I continue to find him contorted into impossible positions. Does he even HAVE BONES? Makes me believe he was probably a Circus performer in another life. 😆
