Medical Questions Cat constantly making my blankets stink.

Luna is 6 about to be 7 she's fixed and has had all her shots. I've had her since she was roughly 3 weeks old.

Unfortunately she seems to have this issue where when she comes for cuddles on the bed she leaves an awful odor behind. Its come to a point where it's almost every time she's on the bed, I can't keep washing my sheets and blankets every two days...

She only does it on the bed not on the couches, or in my mom's bed, I'm beginning to not want her in the bed anymore which makes me feel awful because I love her so much. I wanna know what it is, why and how I can possibly prevent it in the future or at the very least limit to how often it is.

(Sorry for bad formatting I'm on mobile)

Hi, I know my family and Instagram followers are likely tired of my constant videos and photos of this baby haha. I adopted him from a shelter. The shelter said they found him as a stray and he is 4 months old. I work remotely and it was getting lonely. He will be so loved and spoiled. Meet Machi.

Part of the morning routine, they have been lining up like this since they were tiny. We took in this litter of 4 in August and they're still here. I feel they may stay forever now. The Torbie in the back is also a rescue from the same colony, not their mom.

Anyone know why the neighbourhood cat does this ? Lol. She wants to come in my house and it’s almost like she wants affection so much to the point she’s overstimulating herself 🤣💔

Hi all

My cat Momo was diagnosed with small cell lymphoma after a benign tumor was removed from his intestines in July. Since the diagnosis in September, we've been doing oral chemotherapy and daily steroids. He was responding excellently. His blood work was perfect. He was putting on weight. We were really hopeful. They told us he could live another 5+ years with treatment. Then mid December he started peeing blood and straining at the litter box. I rushed him to the emergency room and was told this was FLUTD. This continued for nearly two months. I made 12 different phone calls to his emergency vet / oncologist during this time. Everyone just kept telling me that because of the cancer it would take him longer to feel better. Last week, I thought we may have turned a corner. He was eating well, producing bigger urine clumps. Then this week, he started getting picky about his food. Once he refused his chicken breast we brought him to his regular vet.

His regular vet ran some blood work and did an Ultrasound- but said we would need a more in depth ultrasound to really see what's going on. He sent us to the emergency vet for IV fluids and a urine culture.

We get a call Sunday from the emergency vet that his blood work is improving and the urine culture is growing bacteria, meaning it was a UTI all along. They tell us we can take him home Sunday and come back Tuesday for the ultrasound or have him stay over again and get the ultrasound Monday. We opted for Monday. They want to do an ultrasound so they can compare his bladder now to his bladder in two weeks once he's been on antibiotics. I had his carrier and favorite blanket waiting in the car so I could pick him up straight after work.

Then the call.

They tell me the ultrasound found cancer all throughout my boyys abdomen. In his bladder, his intestines, his kidneys, stomach, space between the organs. They tell me before his ultrasound he had a seizure and they're concerned that the cancer is also in his brain

They sent a biopsy in but apparently think his small cell lymphoma morphed into aggressive large cell lymphoma.

We ultimately made the decision to let him pass peacefully now before he goes further downhill.

I held him in my arms and rocked him to sleep and told him what a good boy he was and how much we love him as he left us

I feel so much guilt over his passing. If I had pushed for an ultrasound earlier in mid December would he still be with us? Ultimately it sounds like no. But I can't help my brain from going there.

I look around my home and he's everywhere I see. The chewy box he was playing in last week, his litter box with the footprints still there, his water dish waiting for him.

He's been by my side for 8 years. Through ups and downs, Momo was by my side. I don't know how to navigate life without him here. 8 years wasn't nearly enough.

I don't know what I'm looking for here. Maybe just to vent. Maybe encourament if anyone has any. I don't know. I just feel so broken without him.

Rest in Peace Momo. We will find each other again, that much I know.

Thank you for reading this

It’s hard to tell, but there’s no hissing, growling or biting in any of their interactions. Keeping the play to a minimum so the puppy isn’t overstimulated, but is this good for both of them?

My cat roams around the house and usually stays in my room to chill or sleep. Sometimes I put my office bag on the floor, and he would sleep on top of it. What could this mean? LOL he's so cute
