Cat Chat 2

[Goose_IsDum]

Got a cat a few weeks ago and she’s super playful and friendly! And she sometimes popcorns and attacks people too but playfully
She likes to look out windows and chase worms on a string (fluffy ones)
She’s a Manx cat, so little bob tail, she is a gray tabby with spangles instead of stripes and a cool brown secondary

[payno.]

Here’s roo! She’s now 10 months old! Will be 11 months February 11th! She’s been spayed and she thinks she’s spider cat and tries to climb walls. She hides hair ties all over the house and retrieves them and attacks/plays with them for HOURS if not DAYS. Roo is special, Roo is roo.

i didnt know there was a cat thread!!!!!!

next week it will be a month since i had to say goodbye to my childhood cat, holly, but i've been doing well <3 she was so old and achey, cancer is awful but i know we did what was kindest and that we switched to a new cat only vet last year made her so much happier for her last year.



on the day i got her i was looking at the rest of the litter she had been rescued with- she was in her bed and i hadnt even seen her yet, so i was saying hello to her brother but he bit me!!! and apparently that offended small me enough to pick his sister instead, and holly came home with us.

i wasnt really ready to name her, but the lady was like SOOO WHAT ARE YOU NAMING HER! and supposednly i cried immediately and spun around, calling her holly because there was a holly bush behind me 😭 (they lived in a heated external building to the rescuers house, so we were outside but the kittens were safe in their house!)

its very weird losing a critter you've basically spent your whole life with, but i'm relieved we didnt prolong her hurting, and her veeeery shy sister luna will get some only child time now she's getting old too 🥺

sorry for a sad first post, but i know yall here understand<3 idk how ive gone this long not noticing this thread existed!!

Has anyone read the studies about chicken egg proteins reducing production of the Fel d 1 allergen in cats? Alternatively, does anyone have any experience with the (expensive) Purina chow that includes it?

Has always been a dream of mine to adopt a cat from a shelter but there are some allergies in my family that make that prospect difficult. Aside from limiting exposure, this and air filtration seem promising, but haven't seen many firsthand accounts.

Laaate reply, but maybe look into British long- and shorthair; they lack the allergen by nature and are very friendly and calm cats; I would know- this is Watson, my adorkable Golden Retriever of a Brit 🥰

I'm fairly new on here and just found this thread! I'm at work and on my laptop and just seen this and started crying! It reminded me of my Stanley I had for 13 years. He was my old soul. I got him when my ex decided she didn't want him. So he became my best friend. He was a black maincoon. I am so sorry for your loss! It has been 8 years since my buddy passed and I miss him soooo much!

I believe it's Duck!

A friend uses LiveClear. He said it's the first time in well over a decade he's been able to live with a cat in the house.
Please note that it takes 4-6 weeks for the effects to kick in, and you MUST feed it almost exclusively. It's not the cheapest food (and I say this as a guy who buys the 20$ small food bags, this stuff is 35$ a bag for the same size).
Also, if you use the food, your cat MUST be indoor only or leashed outside, as eating outside animals could lessen the effects, as the cat needs to be on LiveClear pretty much exclusively. My buddy tried to do normal canned food rather than the LiveClear stuff and said he noticed within a week that the effects of LiveClear weren't working as well as when he used the branded wet food for LiveClear. He was able to somewhat successfully use the cheaper Catit brand of wetfood, provided he used the duck flavors of that brand.

Personally, I take four allergy meds because my insurance will cover them... but his cat never sets off my allergies like my own cat does if she gets in my face...
