Legit bought a big ass bag of cat food, brought it home, tried the mixing thing, cat ate the old food, leaving the new one out. Tried only giving him the new food, he gave it a whiff and walked away. He just would not eat the new food. Had to buy another brand. Brought it home and bro lapped it up like normal.
Also, funny thing: that bag of cat food smells like tuna, the treat soup thing I bought him smells like tuna, canned tuna smells like tuna. Tuna smells like tuna. He absolutely hated all four. Lol my cat hates tuna
Ruby is ready to attacc!
I recognize this room from your older posts haha. Say hi to Melon for me.
So, funny thing. We wanted to name him but couldn’t think of a name…he started responding to the place holder name…so now he’s Meo Meo…
He’s doing better! He’s walking better, can run a little bit, can jump a little bit too, and just generally seems more agile. Got his second shot!
Right. I asked the vet and he said that based on what he’s seeing, this wasn’t it. As for how he’s doing, he was doing better after the first shot he got. He started getting more mobile, walking faster, being able to jump a little bit and such. He got the second shot today. We’ll continue to monitor his progress.
I’ll ask the vet when I bring him in today. Thank you so much.
Woah…tysm, I’ll ask the vet.
He started walking weird, really slow compared to normal. His tail was all weird. It doesn’t go straight up or go into the question mark shape when he sees me anymore, it was at a low angle. When he stretches, it’s in this weird parabola shape. He didn’t come out of his normal spot to cuddle with me when I wake up, and he didn’t come out for food either. When I pick him up and bring him to the food bowl he’ll lap it up like normal. If i pick him up and put him in my lap he would cuddle like normal as well. He showed zero signs of fear or aggression. So I thought something was seriously seriously wrong. I brought him to the vet the next day.
Yeah, the vet said the symptoms were mild so I’m hopeful.
Thank you ❤️. Honestly, it was really really weird. He was his usual playful self, running and jumping all over the place. And then suddenly out of nowhere he screeched really loud from the other room. When I checked up on him he was just on the ground meowing out. And then he started walking weird, didn’t come out for food (had to pick him up and bring him to the bowl), his tail got all weird so I brought him to the vet. It was literally like a switch flipped. Looking back now, I’m feeling really guilty. Maybe there were warning signs and I missed them, idk.
I’m so sorry for your loss OP. For cat owners like myself, this is a valuable lesson. If you are letting your cat outside, then please get them to stay inside. And if your cat is an inside cat, please never let them outside. Not only is it a massive danger to your cat, it does great damage to the ecosystem. Please please please KEEP YOUR CAT INSIDE and hopefully you won’t have to feel what OP is feeling right now.
What a skillful hunter! I’m peeing my pants!!!
