If there is ever any bowl on the counter he lays in it he’s a weird little kitty

I see a lot of fold cats here who have little to no gunk in their eyes. Our baby Theodore gets a lot of them…
Does it reduce with age? He is one years old. I use my clean fingers to clean them or a damp paper towel.

He seems to have very little tears some days. And others a lot.

Have you figured out any triggers? We just want him feeling and looking his best 😞

Any tips??

If you’re sick of Chai lmk but i’m probably going to be spamming the next few months… she’s just so precious 🥺🥺🥺

This is our new Scottish Straight kitten Dolly. She does not have the fold gene expressed, though Dad is a Fold and Mom has straight ears. We are new to the breed but we were so happy to learn the health of the straight ear most likely will be easier in the long run! We are so excited to welcome her to our family!

Gumbo (grey) just turned one!

I have a one year old female fold, within the last month or so she has ballooned up. She weighs 13lbs now, and I am noticing a limp when she walks. I did take her to an emergency vet visit last week, I was convinced she had impacted stool, the vet said she is just fat, and maybe a little constipated. I’ve cut back her food, and I am adding a little water into her wet food, I also bought a water fountain dish to encourage more drinking. I feel like she is not as active as her sister (dsh rescue) and maybe this is why she is heavier? She loves to sit in her cat tree all day long, and flop for pets. She has her annual exam in 3 weeks and I want to bring up the limping again and possible getting her on meds or supplements. Had anyone else had issues with weight? I feel like I’m starving her, she gets a 1/4 cup of dry food (purina sensitive stomach) and then a spoonful of wet food 1-2x a day.

I found him in my garden last November. He looked like he’d been abandoned; he was very sick, and as soon as I opened the door, he rushed inside. He was about 6 months old. I took him to the vet right away, and we began his treatment, which lasted about two weeks. It’s been almost a year since he became my best friend.

I love her so much she’s really my baby I can’t believe I gave birth to her 😭😭🩷🩷🩷🩷

My silly little guy always sleeps like this. It’s ridiculously cute, but should I actually be concerned about this position, or is he just being a cat?
