first time cat owner!! i adopted this 5 month old male kitten a week ago

and he has been acting weird since the last 2 - 3 days!! he continuously spread nd strech his claws in and out like he's in discomfort..it does not look like regular kneading to me!! along with it he's suspiciously breathing like having a stuffy nose..all the time he's breathing like he's purring?? i dont thinks cats purr all the time and like he's having trouble breathing it seems..i am attaching a video, if u listen carefully how he's breathing..it sounds concerning.. even tho the rescue centre where i adopted this kitten said that he's happy thats why he's jus purring and kneading but why would they do it all the damn time...beside that he is eating happily and stool is fine as far.. he's pretty active and all the time he like rubs his body over my leg again n again and lets me pet him!! but beside that im afraid he might be having something in trouble thats why he's like breathing like this and also clawing even in sleep??????? ples helpppp

She is 6 weeks old i believe and if anyone has tips to help with flees lmk. We are doing the dawn bath and flee comb but it’s a struggle.

Is this a good noise or bad noise

New cat owner, she makes this noise quite a lot and I’m wondering if it’s just personality or if she’s in discomfort/distress? She hides sometimes and I’ll get her out of specific spots (like behind the oven lol) and she’ll hiss when she hears me coming, but never when I’m in her vision. Then she’ll make this noise the whole time. Also makes it while she’s rolling around and being lovey dovey so I figured it’s normal? Just wanted to make sure

Looks almost like a string? Ive spotted it in the corner of my eye a few times, goes down to the skin it seems. He wasnt bothered at all when i messed around with the area, so it doesnt hurt. Next vet visit isnt for a while.

EDIT: It supposedly feels like string or a branch

Kitty developed this Spot under His nose. I cant rub IT Off, ITS Not crusted over Like an injury.

I lost my childhood Cat Not Long ago and Im very worried.

My boy, 6 and nutured just had his second blockage. First one was really really bad like hours before fatal apparently. Said he wouldn’t survive another well he did so far. We got him treated and all. But the vets not recommended this surgery to shorten his urethra or something. Idfk its kinda freaking me out tho. Pricing isnt a problem at all the vet is really helpful. (1500$ price point down to $600 just cuz).
Im just scared. I though we were on the way to put him down the other day now hes getting surgery. I should be relieved but im not… i have to other male cats and theres just gonna be so many more things i got to do to make sure hes healthy. I dont want him to ever have this problem again. Ik it hurts. Obviously i get the surgery. I just need someone not a doctor to explain wtf their gonna do

Sorry for the wild post ig just kinda stressing before i go pick him up from two night sleep over at the vets
TYIA

My cats nose looks like this on the bottom part. Not sure what happened, he is acting normal. I am fostering kittens rn and he loves to play with them, I was thinking maybe he got scratched? The last picture is how it was before this happened.

Genuinely desperate for advice, hopefully someone can offer something.
My cat (3yo) has twice been to the vet to have surgery to have elastic bands removed from his intestines. He was 2yo both times it was about 6 months apart (and around 3 months ago the last time). The first time we did have hair bobbles around to be fair but the second time we were careful, he was finding them in our handbags, opening cupboards etc. Obviously we have taken extra care since he is clearly hellbent on the cause.
This last week he has discovered a new vengeance for elastic, he has bitten the cord off of a notebook, we just caught him trying to eat the elastic strap off a top.
At this point, the absolute last thing he needs is surgery, he cannot afford to put his body through that again and we are desperate to stop this behaviour but we are coming up completely short on ideas.
Has anyone had any similar behaviours? What do you recommend?
We have literally removed all elastic toys, bands, etc from him, the notebook and the top were out of left field we did not see that coming.
Thanks in advance for any help.

its out of nowhere but i had a male cat (now 6) and he has a son (3 yo). some personal things happened and we had to give my cat to my aunt who also adopted his son when he was born. as far as im aware he met his son for once and never till he got ‘adopted’ by my aunt. we tried to take him back when everything settled but he seemed to like his son a bit too much. like he seemed depressed when we tried to take him. does he recognizes him as his son or just a cat that he really loves?

My cat is running away and hiding whenever I start using a certain toy and his brother starts to play with it. They used to play with these toys together normally but all of a sudden one of them no longer enjoys it and when his brother starts a play with it (he goes crazy for the toy) the other runs away. Does he think it no longer belongs to him because his brother hogs it the whole time? Or maybe he is intimidated by his brother hyper personality when playing? Just wondering if anyone might know what's up?

My cat (one year old female) developed a black spot near her whiskers seemingly overnight? First 2 pics from today, second 2 pics from yesterday + day before. I tried to wipe off what I thought was dirt or something with a towel and then a cat wipe but neither worked, only removed a couple loose (white) hairs. Should I be concerned?

She does have lentigo in her mouth and the corners of her nostrils.

we rescued my girl & her baby off the streets about a month and a half ago. we noticed that her left eye (right in the pictures) is a different shape than the other eye. she also has gunk in both eyes on a regular basis, but so does her baby. she hasn’t shown any change in behavior since we got her.

she’s a little over 2 years old and has been fixed. she gave birth about a year ago to three healthy kittens. she’s eating and drinking and pottying like normal, very playful, and very loving.

in my extensive google search, i’m seeing that she could have a variety of issues that could be causing this. should i be panicking? i plan on calling the vet tomorrow but i need peace of mind. TIA!

Hey, I’m posting this because I’ve grown concerned about my cat. He’s a 9 year old male, Persian cross. He has existing allergies which he gets steroid injections for once a year.
Just to preface, he’s my absolute world and I worry about every little thing when it comes to him, so I know I may be overthinking this a lot!
Over the last couple of days my partner and I have noticed a change in his behaviour.
He is normally very social, sits with us wherever we are in the house. As he’s gotten older his ‘zoomies’ are a lot less frequent but he still enjoys a freaky few minutes late in the evenings running around playing. Hes also extremely greedy! He usually will be harassing us at meal times in hopes of a crumb of food from our plates.
But, the last couple nights he’s been very quiet, often sleeping in our bedroom and hasn’t been active or playful. He is eating and drinking like usual but he hasn’t been harassing us for our food, which is very abnormal.
I’ve just sent in an enquiry to the vets to hopefully get him checked out soon, but I’m really worried!!
Anyone got any ideas what could be happening, or am I overreacting?
I’ve added a picture of him, not anything to do with the post but he’s the sweetest boy so I had to show him off too!

I am (very successfully) introducing my cat (1 y/o male) and my new kitten (4 m/o female). They are hitting it off almost instantly, and I am absolutely over the moon, however I dont know how I will manage their food in the long term. Currently my kitten eats in her playpen which keeps out my resident cat, but i am not sure how that will work when the playpen is gone/ they are no longer separated most of the time. My resident cat grazes his kibble and dry food, and I have his food very meticulously measured out. How can I make sure they only eat their respective food when theres no more barrier?

Here is a video of them on their second day together. I am so proud of them.

Hey folks, first post here.

First pic from last week and second from when I got her.

I recently adopted this sweet little girl. I was told that she is a 4 months old BSH x Scottish fold female kitten. I've had her for 2 months now. She was 1.9kg, now 2.2kg.

She was the quietest, most timid one out of her siblings but her soft meow got to me instantly.

I bought 2 types of wet cat food and a back of Royal Canin Kibble. Ever since the first day I try to alternate between the food so she's less picky but she eat less and less. Up until now she eats about 35-45 gram of dry food daily. I tried mixing her dry food with another 0 grain one but she wouldn't eat it.

Within the first month I vaccinated her twice 3 weeks apart (F3 then F4) and took her to the vet for topical mite medication. I also gave her a tablet of dewormer last week.

She looked very happy in the house, chilling next to me when I'm home, used to refuse getting picked up but now she enjoys it. Used to hate my lap but now enjoy it occasionally.

I was planning to spay her today but her CBC came back really bad, turns out she's anemic with high WBC count so I cancelled the procedure immediately.

I'm also a bit frustrated with the state of veterinary care in my country. The vet couldn't prescribed anything other than their own mixture of so-called 'blood and appetite booster' and when pressed would absolutely not disclose the ingredients to me so I got her Nutri Plus Gel instead. Her stool was fine but as soon as I leave her at the vet for a night her stool was soft and there's blood on it.

Did i do this to her? Am I moving to fast with the food and the medication? Should I just stick with one kind of food? I feel like I have failed her.

Sorry for the long post.
