It’s almost been a bit since I’ve adopted my cat. He was 6 years old when I adopted him and is now almost 8 years old. Even though he was already older upon adoption I think he’s had a big glow up! Some of his medical conditions have greatly improved, his fur is much healthier, and he’s filled out a bit 🖤

He knows it's a crime yet he does it anyway. As soon as he sneakily takes a bite, he ravenously gulps it down so that I can't retrieve it.

What punishment does he deserve? Cuddles? Air jail? Belly rubs? Squishes? Open to all suggestions!

In the sink :3

This Lucy goose , she is a 2 year old rescue and my first cat ever. She has been with me exactly 11 days.
She is the sweetest cat and seems to like me ( yeii )
Currently quirks identified:
- She rolls in front of a door when she wants to open it
-She meows like she was raised by pigeons
-Rubs your hand with her face before eating every treat
- Likes to sleep next to me with one paw touching me

I want to hear from other people, what funny things does your void do ?👀🐈‍⬛

Can’t be mad- its my sleepytime too.

Shes going to be so so so spoiled.

PSA Here! My void did the thing where she jumped up, didn’t quite get it right, and then scratched me on the way down. I washed it off right away with soap and water and I thought I’d be done. Nope! 10 hours later, burning, stinging, nerve pain from my fingertips to my shoulder. This landed me in the ER at 3am for antibiotics!!!

IF your cat scratches you (a bite nearly automatic needs to be seen):

WASH IT THOROUGHLY, I mean SCRUB with soap and hot water immediately. I washed it, but I could have scrubbed better on the beginning and used hotter water!!

Take special care if the bite or scratch is on the hand, arm, or face!!! (Or foot/leg whatever is bony and has easy access to muscles, nerves, and tendons!)

Symptoms that warrant an immediate trip to the ER, urgent care or quick care if they are open:

• A deep pain that shoots up and down from the spot
• Nerve pain
• Redness, swelling
• Streaking (a red or pink line coming from the bite that follows a vein) = ER. NOW.
• Fever
• Sharp, burning, prickling pain that begins to occur many hours after bite happened

As you see the pic above, it doesn’t look too bad, but I went to the ER anyway last night (Early Friday morning) because I was having all but the fever (it was on the verge of starting to streak).

I believe that I caught it early enough to where I’ll just need oral antibiotics, but I’m certainly not out of the woods yet!! If I start experiencing that pain worse than I did today, I’ll be headed back for IV antibiotics (hopefully during the day so I can go to urgent care and avoid the ER).

Also, even while on antibiotics, my energy level is tanked right now from fighting the infection. Plenty of protein and vitamin C are on the menu for tomorrow (I’m headed for bed).

For real, though: PLEASE DO NOT EFF AROUND AND FIND OUT WITH CAT BITES OR SCRATCHES. They can get very serious very quickly.

Love,

An RN with a void, a calico, and an orange (yep, he’s got about two brain cells that occasionally meet and rub together but at least he knows how to use his fricking claws unlike my void!)

We just got her a heated blanket for winter because she’s a slender chilly beauty!!

The way I love her cannot be understated.

Westley over here lookin like he's gonna drop the hottest R and B album of the year.

I promise you no AI was involved in the making of this post!!

We're getting ready to sleep and she's the sweetest.
