- Cat Facts and Behavior, a colloquial thread?
Hi. I’ve been afraid of all non-human life since before I could remember. I got past it, mostly, but I’ve never gotten over the fact that animals can’t speak what they mean.
I know that sounds stupid, but fear is irrational and I accept my own.
Anyways, my girlfriends sister has 5 cats that she’s looking to adopt away. I’ve thought recently how nice it would be to have a cat, but I’m scared. I lost my job recently. I’m scared to adopt a cat we can’t take care of. My girlfriends scared I won’t be able to make money to survive. Hell, I’m scared about that too. I’ve been going to therapy for half a year now, and I’ve had a LOT of self discovery along the way.
I think I’m different from the afraid-of-cats-and-all-animals-including-fish-and-hamsters?!?! That I am.
Can you please teach me how cats think? I really want to get a cat, but I didn’t before I got drunk, and I am fishing for support in getting over my fear. I will most likely not end up getting a cat. Can you please teach me facts about how cats work anyways? They don’t have to be general, even just your owns. I’ve seen many cat videos, I get the gist. Kinda. They land so quick and I’m fine getting scratched, but I guess… just not dominated by an animal I can’t understand?!
I don’t know.
Cat facts please? No pressure. Thank you for writing and/or reading, I love you for either.
- I have a 4 year old male cat. What kind of cat should I get as a companion for him?
I have a 5 year old cat that I adopted 3 years ago, and I'd like to get him a companion but I'm struggling to identify the characteristics I should look for. Can anyone offer advice?
He's a rugged old soul. He loves playing with my 2 year old dog but otherwise just lounges around nearby but not touching - typical Russian Blue. He does try to clean and cuddle the dog, but the pup doesn't understand and runs away. He was actively cuddling with other cats at the shelter when I adopted him so I think he'll do well with a housemate.
I've met a few shelter cats this week but I'm stressing about identifying which would be a good fit. Are male and female both a good bet? Would it be best to get a kitten, an older cat, or somewhere in between? Playful or extremely lazy, or a lap cat?
I know I'll be happy with any choice, so I'm mostly focused on finding a good match for my Russian Blue. Thanks.
- Where do you get your cat's prescriptions online?
For some reason I was under the impression that I was tethered to my vet when it came to getting my cat's thyroid medicine, but today I just asked them if I could have a copy of the prescription so I could order it online and they gave it to me. Just wondering what's a reliable and affordable site for their medicine.
- Anyone else have a shoulder cat?
Been her favorite spot since she was a kitten. For a while I thought she’d outgrow it, nope.

- Oral alternatives to Revolution+
I have a cat that absolutely hates topical medicine. I use Revolution+ because it's an all in one and was what the vet recommended when I got my cats but one of my cats runs when he sees the box, fights when I am putting it on him, and hides for a few hours after he gets treated. My other cat doesn't really like getting it put on but I put a spoonful of wet food down, apply it while she's eating and she's over it by the time her treat is gone. I wish my male cat took it that well, I hate that I have to do it monthly when he reacts so badly.
They are due for their annual vet visit in June and their current supply of Revolution+ will run out the same month so I'm planning on asking the vet about alternatives then but would like to have some research done and some specific questions to ask and/or products to ask about. The cat that has the strong reaction is a door dasher and occasionally spends 15-20 min outside eating grass and my dog has daily walks near a wooded area so I treat them all as if they were indoor/outdoor. I'm fine with using separate products for flea/tick and internal parasites as long as I can stop chasing him down and fighting with him once a month.
What are the best options to treat cats who hate topical products for parasites?
