    My cat had a stroke that affected her back end. There was a terrifying time where we didn’t know if she’d be able to empty her own bowels anymore. I had to massage her constipation out of her.

    Now her poops surprise her and she frequently runs away when it happens.

    Damn I had no idea I was reading a cat’s opinion on video games the last 200-odd days! What the hell, Atticus. Tell us you’re a cat if you’re gonna give me opinions on video games.

    If this is the way your cat is about food, it’s not that they need to change to lose weight. You need to change the food they’re eating. Cats are a little unique in that they don’t stop eating when they get full, like we do. They stop eating when their nutritional needs are met. Dry food for cats is like fast food for us. It’s not what they should be eating. They should be eating a high protein, low carb diet. Kibble is pretty much the worst vessel for that nutritional balance.

    Raw is best. Primal makes good stuff. Small batch, vital essentials. Stella and chewy’s is still better than dry, but they do use vitamin packs to round out the diet instead of whole food sources. There are a lot of cooked whole food diets now, which is still better than kibble. Canned is in the same category.

    My cat eats raw and has her whole life, basically. She sleeps later than I do, eats her meals as she pleases after the bowl is out, throughout the day. She doesn’t bug me about food. She gets excited when the food and treats are opened, but she never seems to be dying for food like so many cats do.

    Feed your cats well! You start to notice how fluffy and shiny their coats get, how much happier and healthier they seem. Even if you can’t go full whole food, do as much as possible! Kibble should be pretty much as discouraged as a food that can keep them alive should be. They need moisture from their food and they need primarily meat. They’re obligate carnivores!








  • Well I think you still have some time. With Liz Lemons ear, it took three days before I could get her to a vet, then another few days for it to come back after being drained, then another maybe 4-5 days before it reverted to a folded state. So hopefully it’s just a little time. Because I definitely get it, her ear was definitely bothering her too. I think it’s just that weird swollen feeling as opposed to pain. I asked my vet and they said it doesn’t cause any pain, it’s strictly aesthetic and surgery could fix it but it’s not bothering her. So again, best of luck! Hope to see an update post where you are showing off their new look and they’re happy and unbothered!



  • Hey my cat got a hematoma in her ear! They drained it once, told me it was likely to swell up again, which it did, but then it just kinda wrinkled and folded in, not swelling up again. It’s all cosmetic, is what my vet told me. Now she just has a little more character. I hope your cats ear goes through a similar trajectory, because after the initial scare and drain, it seemed to mostly just solve itself.

    It’s actually not, surprisingly. It’s a real cat named “Eggen.” First posted in 2020. It’d be quite the long con. And it would take some serious photoshop skills.

    It’s a cartoon-level of cuteness. The one in the bunch that goes to the door to put on the cute while the others sneak in through the open door to raid the kitchen.
