Lately he's been fine except he doesn't want to get up and move a lot, and I know it's arthritis because he's got no other health issues. The winter weather must be doing a number on his ass. Right now he looks ready to die but otherwise fine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661285&forum_id=2...id.#48534502) |

Date: January 9th, 2025 12:48 AM Author: Twinkling Macaca Cats are pretty resilient. Get some Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement. Also make sure the cat is getting good food. The cheap shit with wheat is terrible for cats. Also, a heating pad/bed is helpful. Beyond that go to steroids and/or pain meds. Some combo of those things will have the cat back to being a lot more mobile and costs very little. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661285&forum_id=2...id.#48534611) |

Date: January 9th, 2025 8:28 PM Author: aquamarine glittery senate headpube The rabies vaccines fuck them up when they are old. They used to be good for 10 years, now vets require them to be vaxxed every THREE years before they will even see the animal. I watched one old cat nosedive within days of getting vaxxed, and I had to put him down just a few weeks later. It was awful.
This one also just got vaxxed for the same fucking reason. I knew if I took him in to be put down, they would refuse to take him if his vaxx records aren't current. I had to get him vaxxed simply so that I can have him put down within the next three years, and a month later he barely moves and needs me to carry him to the food bowl. I miss scooping his shit already. |

Date: January 10th, 2025 12:47 PM Author: aquamarine glittery senate headpube All of them. If you don't have records, they ask you where you got the animal vaccinated, then they call that place to get the records. They won't let you lie. They only require rabies but they try to upsell you on these other shots. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5661285&forum_id=2...id.#48539868) |

Date: January 16th, 2025 4:22 PM Author: aquamarine glittery senate headpube Well this cat was vaxxed right before thanksgiving. I had to do it because I was going out of town, and I didn't want the pet sitter to have any hassle if he needed attention. I texted her like "his vax tag is on the counter, god forbid."
Not even six weeks later, a cat is det. This is now the second time I've seen this happen. |

Date: January 11th, 2025 5:57 PM Author: aquamarine glittery senate headpube As pet deaths go this is really the best you can hope for. The pet is in no obvious pain. There was no long term illness that ran unchecked. The cat just decided to clock out. I've seen this many times, where the animal just stops eating and lies down. I've also seen owners freak out and try to force feed these pets.
Right now the main thing is he wants to be left alone. He got into the animal carrier, I guess because it's dark and cave-like. He doesn't purr much at all when I pet him, and he has his head facing toward the back of the carrier, so he's not even trying to say hi. His vocalizations are also weak. It's fine though. The cat was always affectionate as fuck, so he's clearly past the "goodbye" stage. When he let me see him drink water, I think that was him saying "goodbye" and now he's just thinking cat thoughts. |

Date: January 11th, 2025 7:08 PM Author: aquamarine glittery senate headpube He got up to drink water, which is 180. Hydration is 99% of keeping cats in good shape. The fact that he has that ambition means he's not in pain and shit. He's also not drinking abnormal amounts or pissing like a diabetic. He's just keeping himself "on fluids" as they say. I put another water bowl close to the pet carrier so he doesn't have to walk so far to get a drink or risk being seen while drinking.
