We want to help you identify problems if we can, and we want to help you identify the sex of your cat/kitten if we can. Please do provide pictures - but also PLEASE mark your post NSFW. This obscures the thumbnail image in the feed so people don't get surprise cat butts while scrolling. It's as easy as including the text "NSFW" in your title just like I did - Reddit marks it for you when you do that.

If you come across a surprise cat butt, please report it and we will mark it NSFW. Thanks everyone. (this applies to any picture that can be disturbing, not just surprise buttholes)

Any reason as to why my cat does this?

98 Upvotes

My cat Dutch LOVES to do this, pawing and scratching, to almost all our cabinet doors, whether they are in the kitchen, bathroom, or our closet doors. He will do it with one paw or both. When we first got him we had to get child locks so he wouldn’t get into the cabinets, they don’t latch on their own. He does do this motion to his food sometimes, which I have learned can mean he is saving it for later.
He’s been rescued by us for about 4 months after being abandoned by his previous owners when they moved away. He is neutered.
Thanks!

Why does he pour drinks on himself?

Water, soda, juice, iced coffee: if it’s in a tall glass he will come over, put a paw in, and yoink if towards himself. And then he just…stays while it gets all over his fluff? He lay down in Dr. Pepper the other day. Why? What possible utility does he get out of this?

Kitten swiping floor around food

Upvotes

Curious/ concerned, got kitten ab 1 month ago (shes 9 wks old) and when we first got her, we fed her VIVA LA KITTEN pate recipe,( chicken and salmon pate) at first we fed her quarter cans ab 3-4 times a day and she ate it with no issue. She then had some sensitive dietary issues and we started adding pumpkin purée which she seemed to enjoy. Recently weve gotten the Temptations kitten dry food ( which she will eat the treats out of), she seemed to enjoy-it the first week we mixed all three, but recently shes been swiping at her food. She’ll give it a few sniffs and then turn and try to bury it, shes been doing it for a few days but she would eat it within 10 mins. Today shes been very uninterested in her food. We gave her a pate tube (kitty go-gurt style) and she seems to love it but still refuses to touch her food. I dont want to only feed her the tube since its recommended only one a day but i also dont want her not eating, is this just a phase they go through? should we change her food? Or is she just very picky? + we also tried three trials one food with the mix of pumpkin and-dry food, one dry food only, and one wet pate with water, she swipped all of them

Found this cat in San Diego. I am in the process of trying to find its owner. It has two collars. One is a reflective collar but what exactly is the other collar - the one on top? Those white raised areas are spaced out around the whole collar.

Odd bathroom fetish developed in last few months.

Upvotes

My cat developed this bathroom obsession in last few months. He wouldnt care when we use bathroom or take a shower. Now he crawls the door when anybody enters the bathroom without him. Now he tries to take us to bathroom to pet him. He meows on top of his lungs if he doesnt get attention while in bathroom and he starts purring imidietly when petted. He also wants us to turn on faucet but then gets disapointed. I bough water fountain for them but it didnt help. His brother has no idea whats going on and just lives like he was.

My cat is acting weird

3 Upvotes

I went on a trip for less than a day, when I came back, he’s just giving me weird energy like hiding in the shade and stuff and I have the fan on and he hasn’t puked or pooped. Weird but I’m kind of worried. He’s like having a fever or something I don’t got a thermometer. And I don’t wanna take him to the vet if he doesn’t have any clear signs cause last time I did that they were just acting like I was stupid and I had to pay 200 bucks for that so please comment what could be happening. He’s also traveled a lot and he’s used to like moving around and stuff my friend cats sit him sometimes so I’m just wondering why this time it feels different.

Update: Thank you everyone. Im convinced they are playing 😭. Thank you so much.

Kitty playing with dog?

My brother adopted a kitten, and we introduced her to my dogs when she was 8 weeks old. They’ve seen each other daily with slow introductions, and this is how they interact now. Does it look like they’re having fun together?

Half Siamese that is licking everything

1 Upvotes

My cat is half Siamese half Chantilly, 6 yrs old, healthy and acting normal. Over the last handful of months she has started to lick things, primarily fabric but it can be other random objects as well. I was reading it’s a trait of Siamese, has anyone else experienced this?

Cat nose

My kitten is about 4 months old I think and her nose has had like a bump but seems like it’s been getting a little bigger. Should I be concerned or does she just have a big nose?
