Cat Chat 2

@scarabclaws she’s adorable! I wanted a bobtail and was going to get one but all the cats in the litter I was going to get it from ended up going to homes by the time I got permission

I have a beautiful little girl right now. She’s was a rescue and is now 8 months old and grey and white, she has little mittens and a half moustache xD
She has an Instagram account that I’m trying to get moving again, it’s below if anyone wants to see her and help us out xx

Does anyone have a recommended brand of cat shampoo? Pretty sure my family used generic brand shampoo for people, but I doubt that's the best kind to use.

can you teach a cat "owch"? Gary likes to stomp and cuddle a little to vigorously, and flex and grab with his toes and claws(i give him manicures). always stomping on tender bits, or walking on my neck

I don't think you can. That's just how cats tend to be with eachother, climbing all over and then napping in the same space, so the idea that humans might be more sensitive to that would be too foreign to them.
Just like kneading, its a kind of show of affection that kittens start to do while they are nursing, and even grown cats do when they are comfortable (like my cat often kneads soft blankets). To them it would probably be unimaginable that something like that could cause someone pain.

i thought so. shame really. first you get to brag about teaching your cat to stop stomping on your liver. or continually doing such.

Gary is a pretty good sized, solid cat. so when he stomps on the inside of my thigh, or abdomen, I can really feel it.

*Im not asking for medical advice, please do not give me any! Im taking her straight to the vet if she acts weird at all*
My dumb kitty decided to bring home a skink sjfjdfskddfjdfj. Of course me being the overly-worried
cat mom I am, I took it from her and researched online if they're poisonous. I honestly can't find any
straight-forward answers as to if they're harmful to cats, so Im gonna just take her to the vet if she
starts acting weird. Thankfully she didnt actually eat it, she just brought it inside and batted it around,
so Im 99% sure she won't get sick haha. At least it's better than the time she brought inside a live bird
and we had to catch it and let it back outside lmao

Also here's a picture of her because I love her with all of my heart and want everyone to appreciate her
(click it for the full pic lol)

I know how that feels. My cat isn't very big, but she's got very small paws that hit all the wrong pressure points whenever she walks on me. I've tried to get her to stop doing it too, but like Thalassic said, she just doesn't seem to understand what's wrong, so she keeps on doing it. We'll just have to deal with the rough love, I guess. lol

That moment when you really need to use the restroom but your cat is laying on you. I’m actually dying right now but I refuse to push her off. She’s rarely cuddly so this is a big deal.

opinions on 'encore cat dry food' ?
and potentially high quality cheap wet cat food in the uk? for a mix of both.
