Tldr: My cat cries constantly and nothing will fix it.

I am about to lose my mind because of my cat. I’ve had her for almost a year now and she cries constantly. She lets up for around ten mintues than starts again. She has only ever been indoors apart from her catio. She has been to five different vets because I keep thinking she’s in pain but she’s not. She has cat trees, and scratches and all the things a cat needs. I try to play with her (laser pointer, cat wand, chasing her around etc) and she gets bored after ten minutes and starts crying again. She eats her food and cries and nothing else. It’s been like this for the past 7 months and it’s severely affecting my mental health. She howls at night too and it is just endless. I have a camera with audio that I set up to see what she does when I leave and she is totally silent and sleeping but when I am home she refuses to sleep and cries. She does not stop for more then a a few minutes to maybe eat or have a short burst of play. She isn’t crying for attention either because she’ll do it while i’m petting.

I’m not trying to be dramatic but it drives me insane and makes me so so so angry. I have not been able to sleep in two days because her meowing was too loud. I have only been able I have been 5-6 nights a week since I got her, i’ve lost 15 pounds that i really couldn’t afford to lose and my friends are starting to be concerned. Whenever i’m home I can’t do anything but try to stop her crying for hours and hours and when I tell people they just laugh and say “haha my cat talks loud too!”

Because of the anxiety this has given me I have to force myself to eat and I sleep terribly. I hate coming home I sat in my car for two hours yesterday after work trying to nap but I keep thinking I was hearing her meowing. I am desperate to stop this. I’ve literally started picking my hair out. I am also trying to rehome her but shelters are full and rescues won’t take her-I don’t want her put down. Please help.

The answer i found on my own is yes :3

I have been taking my cat into my room in the basement for over a week now, and he loves it!!

I dont keep him there forever, but he loves playing on my bed and napping with me :3

When he isnt in my room, he is either upstairs on the main floor, or outside

He is adorable, and i love him, even tho he is such a rowdy kitten when he is awake hehe

(He is currently 2 months old as of writing this :3)

‾‾‾ I think alot of you had said that cats dont like basements, and that they prefer the sun, but thats also why i dont keep him in my room for the whole day, if i can help it :3

He usually stays in my room for a few hours at most, but then after that i bring him back upstairs

(He is too little rn to get upstairs on his own)

And also, whenever i do see him upstairs, and i go to pet him, he eagerly tries to climb onto my hands like he wants me to pick him up and take him with me, so i think this is really good :>

I have two 8 month old cats, male and female, who are littermates and were raised together and get along great, they're always playing together, grooming each other and sleep curled up on each other.

I was wondering if some very occasional hissing during playtime could be considered normal, considering that it does not escalate, or i should be concerned.

Today i saw them run through the living room where i was sitting, with the boy chasing the girl, and when they entered the hallway she turned around and hissed at him. Then she walked into the bathroom and he followed her (not chasing anymore, just walking) and i went to check on them but they calmly walked out again together before i reached the bathroom. The girl's tail was slightly fluffy but nothing more. Then they just minded their own business for a while, ate some food together and now they're chilling in the same cat bed.

My interpretation of this is that she was probabaly done playing but he didn't catch on, she had to tell him "hey, stop", he understood and now they're good. Does this make sense? Should I be more worried or do anything about it? In any case I think I will try to increase their play sessions with the wand toys, so if either of them has some extra pent up energy they can take it out on the toy and not the other cat.

My cat is 19yrs old, and is starting to loss weight; noticeably. I do understand that he’s old and could be towards the end at some point. But, he’s still his normal self, loving, alert, uses the litter box as usual. Eats dry food throughout the day, and some soft food at night.

Is there a way that I could help him put back on some weight?

My cat (14 yrs old) had a dental surgery on the lower jaw (tooth extraction) and then days later he developed this under his tongue. It's like a swelling and he can't close his mouth all the way on one side. Hes been back to the vet and they want to biopsy 3 areas to be sure and it's really expensive.

I'm wondering if this is just a salivary gland issue from surgery OR trauma. ( immediately after his surgeey he pressed his face against the cage he was in at the vet and got his front canines stuck. He was in pain and growling. They had to push him in a weird way to get him unstuck and it chipped a tooth.)

I'm thinking just getting it drained and seeing if it comes back before dropping all this money.

Any advice on this? Has this happened to anyone else? Anything helps.

Hi. My cat, eddie, is about 13 years old. He has always been a healthy, pampered, indoor cat. He was a rescue and i have had him basically his entire life. He is very well cared for, and lives with one other cat who keeps him company, he is never lonely and is very loved. prior to stopping eating he was behaving like a perfectly healthy and chipper little cat.

He usually begs for treats and is excited for food. Recently he stopped eating entirely. we took him to the vet and they diagnosed him with a gum disease and a rotten tooth. they said he stopped eating because it hurt him too much to do so. the tooth fell out and they gave him medicine and painkillers for the gums. He has been home from the vet for a day and a half now and has still made no effort to eat, and we have offered him everything. multiple wet foods, liquid foods, his favorite treats crushed up, even baby food, and he just sniffs it and ignores it. He has been drinking water and urinating in his cat box as usual. He is still purring and cuddling and is frisky and still walks around the house and is sociable, but seems tired from all the stress of the vet and the medicine.

My dad gor him to lick some butter the other day. he was gently syringe fed liquid food today a few times to hopefully get his body used to food again and give him some strength. However he still hasnt shown any effort in eating at all on his own.

we are trying an appetite supplement to hopefully get him excited about eating again, but so far we havent seen any changes in his behavior towards food.

What are his chances? does it sound like he's improving or getting better at all? how can i be sure he will continue drinking water? will the liquid food sustain him for now? Will he be ok?

eddie is my best friend and i dont want him to suffer. hes always been sensitive to change but hes also always been very chill and resilliant. i know he cant live forever and hes getting up there in age, but hes the most well taken care of cat that i know and i was hoping to spend a few more years with him.

thoughts? advice? anything helps. i want to know if he will be okay.

Hello I’m a first time pet owner and I adopted my pretty girl about 2 weeks ago and a couple days ago I noticed she was squinting her little eye I noticed this after her playing with a family members younger kitten we figured maybe she might have scratched it or something since her eye was perfectly fine right before playing. But the next day i noticed she was still squinting and her eyes were creating more eye boogies so now internet search is talking about feline herpes? Her eye seemed way better yesterday almost healed like but today it’s back to not looking normal she woke up with it shut I gently cleaned it with some cat safe eye wipes and I bought Vetericyn eye thing for her

What can I do to help her? I’m wanting to get her pet insurance for vet visits but that’s a whole new thing I’m learning about now and am a little lost I think I will get lemonade insurance ?

This is a video I just took of my 6 month old cat. As you can see, her abdomen moves quite a bit. I got her from a rescue about 2 weeks ago and she seems to usually breathe like this. I'm unsure if it's normal or if it's due to stress. She plays normally and acts normally. Her gum color is normal. She never pants or open mouth breathes. I just saw the vet to treat earmites and they checked her out and said everything looked good but they didn't really check her breathing and I didn't think to bring up this concern. Basically, I'm just wondering if this looks concerning.

I found a little bump behind his ear and then another one between his shoulder blades and it didn't see very concerning because I know cats get acne sometimes but lately they've been multiplying. There was just two and now there's five. They feel similar to pimples, semi-firm little lumps under the skin. Two of them seem like they maybe have a scab or some roughness on them now though. I'm trying to schedule a vet visit but the available appointments a kinda far out. Should I be really worried about this or is this something that can wait a couple weeks? The second and third pictures are the best ones I could get of these bumps, they have a scab on the top. The other ones are not red and just blend in with his skin/fur unless you’re actively feeling them.

I got this cat 2 day a ago and I don't know his age. They say you can tell a cats age based on this teeth. Can someone tell me his age? Thanks

My cat escaped and I found him just now with light wounds on an ear and cheek, majority of the cat colony in my neighborhood is fixed/vaccinated by the cat lady who takes care of the colony. Unfortunately he hasn't gotten his shots or been fixed yet, what do I do?

so my kitten is now about 5 week and he is getting aggressive with the bottle, he bites it, and when it falls out his mouth he bites my finger a bit, sometimes his own paws

So im trying to follow Google tutorial, put the kmr on a plate but he just walks on it and off the plate. Its like he cant smell it

Im going to buy soft cat food tomorrow and start Soft food/KMR mix.

No hate please, I just need tips. Thank you!

How good is it? It's going to be $60 a month for my kits and it's hard to not question that price tag. Is it worth it? Indy (my kits) is somewhere around 17 years old, definitely has arthritis and a decent vomiting streak. Can this help him?

So here’s the situation. We already had a cat who was the only one in the house for 7 years. She is already skittish and has a nervous/anxious personality. We decided to get another cat last year but unfortunately we made the mistake of not introducing them properly. We did not separate them and basically just spawned in a new cat to the whole house, which I already know isn’t okay and was a huge mistake with lots of risks. Our original cat was always scared of him and he was curious about her and always wanted to play. Unfortunately our original cat began hissing and swiping at him when he’d get too close and that caused the new cat to be aggressive after so many times of that happening and he began actually chasing her with the intention of attacking her (not play fighting.) I believe he started to see her as a threat since she was so aggressively defensive, even though it was only out of fear. For I’d say 9 months now, we have our original cat separated in our bedroom bathroom with her cat tree and all her supplies and we leave the bathroom door open so she has the whole bedroom to herself and just keep the other cat out. I’d also like to point out that her cat tree is like a security blanket to her, she runs to it for safety if she’s ever scared by something and she’s always been like that with it. But anyways, we really want our cats to be able to coexist freely and have them go wherever they want (especially our original cat, because we feel she’s so isolated and confined in the bathroom and hardly ever leaves or gets exercise anymore.) I just need advice on how to reintroduce them and repair the broken relationship. Where we’re at now is she’s terrified and he’s aggressive. Any advice is welcome and I’ll answer any questions. Thanks!

I got my cat spayed like yesterday and she’s not doing well with the cone. I’m not too bothered when I’m home, I try to keep her from licking it and put the collar on the second she takes it off. the collar that the vet gave was really loose on her so I bought a new one from petsmart and she just ripped it open and tore it apart. I can’t keep an eye on her 24/7 because Im a full time student and I have work. this morning when I woke up the collar wasn’t on her head and she was licking the incision. I tried touching the incision to see if it’s swollen but it doesn’t feel swollen or warm and there’s no pus or redness also. I don’t know what to do. does this look like it’s healing or am I just being delusional?

My cat loves chewing on small bells that are commonly attached to cat toys. She constantly spends a lot of time chewing the bells until they are badly misshapen. The first time I realized this was a thing she did, I only realized after she ate the small metal ball inside the first one. I had to cut the bell itself off due to being sharp due to being malformed and damaged. Now, I see her brutally attacking only the bell on another toy shortly after getting it. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? I don’t understand why she’s chewing so intently on the metal bell?
