I'm making this post as we haven't gotten the help we need for the vet appointments. We have put aside all the extra money we have this month, but that only covers the necessary vaccines for the boys.

While the girl kittens haven't shown signs of going into heat, their mom still is and the boys are at the age that they might start with their mom.

You can read the full post HERE.

Please, please, please consider reblogging if you aren't able to donate!!! We're just trying to avoid another litter of kittens, and unfortunately, most of the local resources don't fully cover the bills. :(

If you've ever attempted to brush your cat only to meet residence, my first question is always "Did you try a rubber curry brush?"

This brush is an awesome tool - soft on skin, but still effective. Since we started using this brush, Citra has come to love brush time, and it's more of a sweet lil allo-grooming moment where she purrs and drools the whole time.

Search around for rubber curry brushes to try something out. I love these bad boys and they're super sensory friendly for more sensitive cats. I'm not sure what their effectiveness is for longer hair, but it's great for thicker fur or thin fur.

Here is a big tip on how to get cats to like you:

RESPECT THEIR BOUNDARIES.

When cats don't want to be touched they will let you know. They will scratch you, bite you, growl at you, etc. My cat and I became much better friends when I started doing this. She would bite me when I touched her in a place she didn't like or I was touching her too much so I followed her signs and didn't touch that place/stopped touching her entirely, allowing her a break from the sensation. Some cats do love bite, but you will KNOW when a cat is love biting you vs biting you.

Also, when a cat doesn't want touch, that doesn't mean it's indefinite, when you stop touching them when they ask you to you build trust with them, and if they trust you they will come back for more pets because they know you will stop when they no longer want to be touched or talked to.

ALSO ALSO when they start wriggling in your arms that is when you put them down. Cats wriggle the most when they don't feel safe in your arms or they do not want to be held.

Cats do not like touch typically, and respecting their boundaries regarding touch and pretty much everything else will make them respect you more. Cats trust people who make themselves trustworthy. The people who stop petting them when their cat bites or scratches them for too much touch, the people who put them down when they don't want to be held, the people who bring food and talk softly to them.

A lot of cats have intense sensory issues from what I've seen/heard and more likely than not if your cat seems to hate you that is because you aren't respecting their boundaries, you're too loud, and they just might not like you. They hate too much touch and bad sensations and loud sounds.

In summary, a basic way to get your cat to trust you, is to stop touching them when they bite or scratch or growl or hiss, all of these are their defense mechanisms and signs they are angry/scared, use a soft tone of voice with cats, and put them down when they wriggle and fight out of your grip. Build their trust with you, and keep doing these things even when they DO become more loving. consistency and trust go hand in hand.

Respect your little furball and they will respect you. Cats do enjoy love, but in moderation and from people they trust.

Cats deserve respect just like any other animal.

Animal whisperers are the ones who treat animals with respect and love. It pays off. Trust me.

Savings and convenience should never come before the needs of your pets.

Don’t buy something just because it’s the cheapest or because you don’t want to do a necessary care task. Buy something that fits in your budget but still meets your pet’s needs. Buy something that makes necessary care tasks easier for you but doesn’t affect your pet’s quality of life.

There’s always going to be people who push cheaper, easier, and more convenient over what’s actually good for the animal. Don’t fall for it. More often than not, higher quality care will save you money in the long run, anyways, because you’ll likely spend less on vet bills.

#STOP RECOMMENDING PINE LITTER AND LITTER ROBOTS #for one there’s so many cheaper alternatives for auto or sifting boxes #all of which are so much bigger #but also I promise your cat hates pine litter #and it’s so foul #I refuse to believe y’all can’t smell that #cat care #general pet welfare

Our VERY good and brave boys finished their procedure a few hours ago and are home now.

Thank you to EVERYONE for the support!

We'll be watching them and crating them for the next few days to make sure they don't get hurt and I'll keep everyone updated. 💙

We could still use some help with kitten food, but you can purchase that on my Amazon Wishlist here.

Thank you all SO much. 💙

Kitten update

Marshmallow (left) learnt to bite my toes when I'm on the toilet. I didn't teach her this. She just started doing it. She's a little menace to society.

Cas (right) is still a baby. He purrs so so so so much. Little kitty engine. He's a himbo in the making, too. When they were play-chasing, Marshmallow would chase the toy, and Cas would chase Marshmallow's tail. He's so sweet but so dumb.

PSA: Buy your elderly pet a heating pad.

My vet told me that nine out of ten cats have arthritis by age 12, although you might not see it because they're very, very good at hiding their pain.

My little old lady is 17 and has mild arthritis. We've found that a heating pad significantly reduces her pain, especially during these cold months. After a couple of hours napping on it, she's bouncier and more playful than she has been in years. Not only does it obviously just feel good for her to lie on it, it makes a huge difference in her quality of life.

Best $40 I've spent in years, highly recommend.

Hey I'm sorry but I think I need some help. I woke up like half an hour ago to feed my cats and my son, Moxxie, is showing symptoms of a bowl obstruction. He's had one before and he's doing the same thing as last time. I legit only have 3 cents in my account rn and panicking.

It's almost 6am, the emergency vet doesn't think he needs to swing by there ATM and recommends we see our reg vet when they open in 2 hrs. Which I know I won't be able to afford.

So I'm asking for some help. Any little bit helps, and if I don't need it for him I'm gonna refund it.

Sorry to ask this

There are a bunch of cats around where I live, none of them are fixed and they keep having litters, getting sick and injured, and I really want to do anything ans everything I can for them.

Any donations are appreciated! Reblogs and shares are also extremely helpful if you can't donate.

The first and foremost goal is to get them all neutered and spayed. I'm also hoping to get them dewormed, vaccinated, and medicated for fleas/ticks, as well as tested for major cat illnesses (like FIV). Additionally, if anyone would like to adopt/foster or help home the cats in general, that would be great!

Thanks for reading,

Rowan.
