Found some stray cats today by the neighborhood mailbox. A family of four, two kittens and two adults living in a storm drain. I left some of Mocha's leftover canned food for them since she doesn't like wet food that isn't puree. I guess I should call animal control eventually

Or you could expand Mocha (and your) family!!!!

Haha did they jump on you as they tackled each other? Even cats aren't that big, it's like they have the density of a dying star when their small feet land on your chest

Hopefully they at least rough house above the covers instead of on your crotch like my pit bull and black lab.

Silver jumped on me, then used my chest as a platform. I can't believe how much force small 2.6 kg kitten can exert when jumping, concentrated on tiny paws

The tiny paws make it so much worse. My old cat had unusually small paws and he would shift all of his 12lbs to one of them when he stood on me. It hurt so much. Didn't help that he had the boniest paws I've ever seen on a cat (poor baby was declawed by his previous owners, so his front feet were fucked up).

Aww. But yeah, their hind legs are incredibly strong, especially when they are about to jump.

Don't be too hard on yourself, Aster and Obie is short for Asterix and Obelisk, two guys from a series of comics I used to read.
I solved the mystery of the fork! There was one on the kitchen counter...which means he can now jump that high o.O

One of my cats is going to the vet tomorrow! I have zero doubt that she's going to bite someone. I'm going to communicate to the vets as best I can that she needs to be sedated and/or muzzled for treatment.

Holy shit, I had the scare of my life with my bird.

Just randomly, he hopped down to the ground (like most bulbuls, he prefers to be high up, like on his perch unless he's eating/drinking), put his face in the corner of his cage, propped himself up with his wing, and started breathing heavily. It looked so unnatural, so I picked him up, and although he was still conscious, his body was limp. His beak was wide open and he continued to breath heavily for a long time, so I just held him in my hands for about 10 minutes until he seemed to be back to normal.

He hasn't done that again and seems to be fine, but it was scary as hell. I was afraid he was choking or something, and I don't know if you can give a bird CPR or anything :<

Silver can jump to my cupboard now. It's crazy how high they can jump so young.

Any chance you can take him to the vet? Maybe get it checked and get what first aid you can do if it happens again.

I'm going to have to call the vet to check to see if it was serious first. I normally would've gone ASAP but I've been bedridden since Friday. So I hope I can reach him during my lunch break tomorrow, since they're only open from 9-1 :<

Uuh at time like this it makes me feel bad because i can't properly care for my cats.

I can only feed them and clean their litter boxes, that already took so much effort because of the constant foot pain.

Cannot brush them proper, cannot clean them let alone play with them.

I took my cat to the vet yesterday. They found nodules in her mouth/back of her throat and sent them off for a biopsy.

This cat constantly bites me, never wants to be petted, and has been a general pain in the ass the three months I've had her. She also likes to be tucked into her little blankets, loves to sit and watch TV with me, and constantly wants a bite of whatever I'm eating. She was heavily sedated yesterday and had a giant cone on her head, but that didn't stop her from climbing up on the couch and harassing me for some of my salad.

She's being very sweet today. Lots of purring and nuzzling my hand as best she can with this satellite dish on her head.

@Ruvan22 how rowdy are the boys? Rivel and silver always try to tease/chase each other unless it's mealtime, naptime or using the litterbox.

Like if one is just lounging around, one will purposely annoy the other and vice versa it's so funny.

They've actually gotten quite a bit calmer, maybe because of the neutering?
It used to be the same - frequently hunting or tackling each other (maybe 50% of the time) but now I see it maybe 25%. They seem to do it more during the night as I'll hear them hitting against the boxes I set up for them.

She also enjoys just sleeping on the floor. Right next to the kitchen is one of her favorite spots (and coincidentally a great place for her to accidentally get stepped on).

I'm kind of worried because one of her nictitating membranes (that's the white third eyelid that cats have) has been visible all day. I'm afraid I might have washed her face a bit too roughly and hurt her. She keeps getting crusties and food everywhere because she can't clean with the cone on.

So, last night she did something super gross. She threw up a little. Then, she stood on her hind legs, looked straight up, and puked a lot into her cone. Then she freaked out and flung it everywhere. All this while I was making my dinner. Then, in the two minutes it took me to clean off her cone (which was filthy) and collar (also filthy), she chewed all of the scabbing off her paws and left my bathroom looking like a murder scene. Then she scratched the shit out of me when I washed her off, hissed at me when I tried to put the cone back on her, and effectively undid a week of healing on her paws.

Not gonna lie, I was a little frustrated.

It was a relatively small amount of blood, but it was smeared all over the floor.

I actually bandaged her feet tonight after she figured out how to chew her paws even with the cone on. She's too clever.
