This is Paladin, I adopted him when he was already about two years old from a rescue. The rescue had taken him out of a pretty bad home, so he's a little skittish around new people, but he's incredibly loving and super attached to me at all times lol. his foster mom warned me about the situation he came from, and it's still a battle getting him to the vet or trimming his claws because he gets so scared, but he's absolutely my buddy and I fell in love with him as soon as I met him <3

Image

I adopted Sabre here when he was nine months old, almost a year ago now. My older cat passed away from a diabetes complication and it hit me really hard. It hit Paladin really hard too, since he and my older cat were very close. So, I adopted Sabre to help heal the hole Jinx left some.

Sabre is one of the most interactive cats I've met. He's still young, so he's got a lot of energy in his 'gremlin mode', but he likes to come up and mess with me (try to grab my necklace, paw at whatever I'm holding, physically close any book I'm reading) whenever I'm relaxing. I can't be mad though lol, he's very sweet and cuddly and the sherpa blanket he's laying on in the picture is his favorite thing in the world and the best $10 I ever spent

Image

Though he's really more Paladin's kitten than mine :P

NOTE: their collars aren't too tight! They've just settled against very fluffy necks, I check their collars every day <3

Paladin looks almost identical to a cat I used to own (I had to rehome him due to him not liking kids and I have three) and his new owner lost him and nobody can find him, we’ve been looking for over a year. His name is/was (might’ve found a new home) Cheeto.

Cat Chat 2

Postby marinara sauce » Fri Aug 09, 2024 8:46 am

        hello everyone, it’s been years since i’ve been on here, i think i posted quite a bit in v1. anyway i am coming back here to discuss the exact same cat. lol

        my little lady is about 13/14 years old, she’s the very first cat i’ve ever had and thankfully i’ve had little to no problems with her health throughout the years. however she jumped down from her cat tree two days ago and began limping around. i waited a day to see if it would go away to make sure she didn’t just land wrong or something, but she was continuing to limp around and was very clearly in a great deal of pain. i checked her paw to see if she stepped on anything, and tried to feel around her leg to see where exactly it hurt. needless to say she did not like that at all lmao
        our primary vet couldn’t get us in until next week. since she is old and i’ve never had to deal with problems like this before, i decided to take her to an emergency clinic just to have peace of mind. i am always very worried that something could go wrong any moment considering her age and i wasn’t going to let her be in pain for the next week. she was going off the rails in the car because she hates both car rides and pet carriers. she had to be slightly sedated when we arrived because she was panting and extremely spooked. i felt so bad :(((

        they said she’s most likely got kitty arthritis and they prescribed her gabapentin for the time being to help with the troubles she’s having walking around. turns out her hip is the problem. she’s not diagnosed yet and i will find out in the next few weeks but i want to accommodate her as best as i can, whether that ends up being the case or not. does anyone have a cat with arthritis, and if so is there anything you do around the house to make it easier on them? any tips at all are appreciated !

Its hard to stop cats from jumping even when its objectively bad for them, but you can try to set up chairs and stools to give her an extra step if theres spots she particularly likes to jump/climb. Another thing is having all her necessities on the ground and easily accessible. The arthritis will get worse with time, so making little changes, like feeding her on the floor instead of on the countertop, or having a second litter box on the other end of the living area for easier access can help a lot. And weight management can help too (and thats a common issue with housecats). Obviously consult your vet before making any drastic changes if needed, but its going to be easier on her hips to be a healthy weight than not.

Now you may see a simple Roo, but all I see is my baby tigger (rest easy my best boy)

Image

If animals can send you another baby to love then i believe tigger sent me Roo. ❤️

Tigger was my best friend for 12 years, and I miss him so, so much. He passed away peacefully in my arms October 8, 2021 at 8:30pm and it was the worst day of my life but I spent the entire day with him… took him outside (he didn’t leave my side) and loved on him.

Re: Cat Chat 2 - name advice?

Postby Lichen_Licker » Fri Aug 30, 2024 4:31 pm

hi! feeling stumped on names for our new kitten, looking for zelda-themed name to match her sister!

this is her, she and her sister are 8 weeks. she's very playful right now of course but we're thinking she's going to grow up to be very cuddly and goofy. we're calling her sister Zelda and so would love to find a name for her that matches her sister since we're big fans of the games and want the girls to match!

we're looking for a neutral or feminine name that's cute and maybe a little silly. we tried out Mipha and didn't love it, we've looked at lists of characters... not sure what else to do! it can be based on characters, items, places... anything! if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them!

as a note, I've only ever finished Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom, so names from other games (unless they're very famous characters) would make a bit less sense for us.

"We are ones of a lonely world. A world of poisoned soils, of crumbling ruins, of demons lying wait in every darkness. But if one can make meaning in it all, can find meaning among each other: one will see how the life begins to claw its way back into this toxic forgottenplace; how there is hope."
