cats
- Nessa "more commonly known as *Miss Nessa*" lounging in her bed near her window.
Miss Nessa is/was/occasionally semi-feral, and still has signs of it. She will not lay on a human. She'll walk over you, let you pick her up, let you pet her, but she hard-bites and has zero differentiation between play and ripping to bits. It also isn't easy to read her cues unless you're with her for a while or know her already. So, I take care of her since she can't really be around kids or the elderly, and as long as you remember her rules and keep your eye on her when petting her, she's fine, loving and chill.

She's taking a sip from the water used to wash the paintbrushes, while standing in the paint.

- How do I tell if my cat is chill with stranger cat?
My cats a senior cat who's always seemed to take issue with other cats, particularly in his house.
However, I've found out recently that there's another neighbourhood cat that's been snooping around and stealing his leftover food that he hasn't finished.
I was sitting around on my off day with my cat on the other side of the room when this Siamese cat saunters and makes eye contact with him. I get up assuming this cat is about to antagonise my cat and the Siamese just bolts. I go after it to see that it leaves and once it scarpers out the window I go back downstairs to my cat who hasn't even moved lol.
All of a sudden I feel like maybe ive just chased off one of his mates and feel just a little bad over it lol but I'm really not sure what to think now.
My cat is quite elderly so some part of me thinks he's just intimidated and no longer bothered with defending his territory but then neither of then seemed that bothered by the interaction at the time.
My cat hasn't had any injuries from this cat but I still can't be sure they're not fighting.
Just kind of at a loss at this point lol. Any advice?
Cheers!
My cat BTW! Haven't got a PIC of the Siamese yet. First time I saw him today!
- Dog-loving owner treats her cat like her dog
While she treats her dog like her "daughter" and showers it with attention, it seems that the same level of care is not extended to the cat. As someone who has never owned a cat, I believe that providing a cat tree to prevent the cat from damaging furniture, along with some toys and daily access to fresh water, would significantly improve the cat's quality of life. Additionally, since the cat enjoys exploring the forest, having a safe space to play and roam is essential.
Today, with temperatures soaring to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), she told the cat, "You wonāt have wet food; we have to limit it because supplies run out too quickly." At the same time, she did not provide any water. When I inquired about this, she mentioned that the cat could drink from the dog's bowl if it wanted. I expressed my concern that sharing a water bowl could expose the cat to different bacteria and microflora, but this upset her. When I pointed out that not providing water could be considered a form of neglect, she responded that she didnāt want to hear it in her house.
On another occasion, she became frustrated when the cat refused to eat the wet food she offered. In response, she told the cat, as if it could understand, "Now you wonāt have any wet food; the bowl will be empty. You have dry food, so eat that." She even instructed us not to give the cat any wet food as a form of punishment.
I am currently confined to the house for the next month due to an injury, and she is my stepmother. Her decision to adopt a cat seems to stem from a desire to alleviate her dogās loneliness, which is understandable. However, I question whether simply providing food and allowing the cat to explore the forest for a couple of hours is sufficient for its well-being.

- Cat Facts and Behavior, a colloquial thread?
Hi. Iāve been afraid of all non-human life since before I could remember. I got past it, mostly, but Iāve never gotten over the fact that animals canāt speak what they mean.
I know that sounds stupid, but fear is irrational and I accept my own.
Anyways, my girlfriends sister has 5 cats that sheās looking to adopt away. Iāve thought recently how nice it would be to have a cat, but Iām scared. I lost my job recently. Iām scared to adopt a cat we canāt take care of. My girlfriends scared I wonāt be able to make money to survive. Hell, Iām scared about that too. Iāve been going to therapy for half a year now, and Iāve had a LOT of self discovery along the way.
I think Iām different from the afraid-of-cats-and-all-animals-including-fish-and-hamsters?!?! That I am.
Can you please teach me how cats think? I really want to get a cat, but I didnāt before I got drunk, and I am fishing for support in getting over my fear. I will most likely not end up getting a cat. Can you please teach me facts about how cats work anyways? They donāt have to be general, even just your owns. Iāve seen many cat videos, I get the gist. Kinda. They land so quick and Iām fine getting scratched, but I guessā¦ just not dominated by an animal I canāt understand?!
I donāt know.
Cat facts please? No pressure. Thank you for writing and/or reading, I love you for either.
- I have a 4 year old male cat. What kind of cat should I get as a companion for him?
I have a 5 year old cat that I adopted 3 years ago, and I'd like to get him a companion but I'm struggling to identify the characteristics I should look for. Can anyone offer advice?
He's a rugged old soul. He loves playing with my 2 year old dog but otherwise just lounges around nearby but not touching - typical Russian Blue. He does try to clean and cuddle the dog, but the pup doesn't understand and runs away. He was actively cuddling with other cats at the shelter when I adopted him so I think he'll do well with a housemate.
I've met a few shelter cats this week but I'm stressing about identifying which would be a good fit. Are male and female both a good bet? Would it be best to get a kitten, an older cat, or somewhere in between? Playful or extremely lazy, or a lap cat?
I know I'll be happy with any choice, so I'm mostly focused on finding a good match for my Russian Blue. Thanks.
