No, really.
How do you know your cat has dementia?
>>385307408
Death is natural and your cat lived a very long life. Don't make it a tragedy, just remember him.
>>385307408
Spend time with the damn cat you dolt
>>385307408
What's the big deal? Get another one, it's just a cat
>>385307408
had the same coloured type of cat, got dementia too, pissed everywhere without remembering she did
eventually died
your cat is now old enough to fuck
>>385307408
Sounds like you need to play some OFF

>>385307408
You should be fucking greatful he lasted that long.
I've had 3 cats in the space of 15 years (All died within 4 years of each other).
First cat had cancer in his eye, got his eye removed and it eventually spread.
Second cat died randomly dropped down dead one day
Third cat was a pure breed and died of a heart attack / over large heart.

I envy you man, my cat died a few months ago at only 8 and I would give an arm and a leg to have another 10 years with him
>>385307408
that's a good long life. had to let both of my cats go at age 16 last year.
play some journey
I once had a cat that lived over 20 years. He was fucking huge and an angry bastard. Scar on my chest from where he scratched me as a baby.
how can you tell?
my cat is now 21, he's now completely deaf, has diabetes, arthritis, no teeth and barely moves nowadays
>>385308141
they'll start forgetting the things they should know how to do, like cleaning themselves or pissing in the right places
>>385307408
Oh huh what a shame :(, just kidding fucker!!
I would love to kill this fucking stupid cat myself
I would enjoy breaking his bones, cut off his fucking ears and torture it for hours skinning it alive and force you to watch it all you fucking piece of shit
fucking subhuman garbage tell me where you live and i will skullfuck your whore of a mother

>>385307641
I would also like to know this
>>385307641
I don't know about cats' dementia, but for dogs, they start barking at nothing, sometimes they just freeze and stare the emptyness, or sometimes they run like crazy like they were trying to catch a ball or something.
Cat's symptoms must be something something similar.
@385308241
holy fucking shit dude
>>385307408
My childhood cat made it to 26 years when we had to put it down...loyal as fuck type of animal.
>>385308848
>sometimes they just freeze and stare the emptyness, or sometimes they run like crazy
That's normal for cats. The former is when they hear something and go into full hunter mode, the latter is just happens sometimes, guess they're playing.
My cat is also at death's door from old age.
>tfw she's losing fur and is practically a zombie
>>385307641
He stopped requesting 9 Lives brand cat food and now happily asks for Meow Mix by name
>>385307816
Pure bred anything is nothing but a meme.
Mutts are the true future of all species on Earth.
I really loved my first cat, he was an absolute bro who gave no fucks.
Sadly, at the age of 16, his kidneys shut down, so he woke me up by vomiting blood all over my chest as he was sleeping, and slowly rolling off to the side, somehow still giving the minimum amount of fucks. Guess that had something to do with his breed. Had to put him down.
I don't think I felt as bad as the rest of the family, because I'm pretty sure my cat had awesome life.
Still, I'd rather not get very attached to the current one.
my cat that i had since childhood died at 15. i think it's partly my fault, i was playing guitar and she wanted to come on me and i pushed her away a bit violently. then she walked strangely and one morning she was dead in my bed. it haunts me to think about how she walked away when i pushed her away and she was probably already sick
>>385308427
>your cat will never be as cool as kot Jazz
I had a cat for 2 months but I gave it back because I'm afraid of connecting too much and losing it. It still hurt like a bitch
I miss my bird now

>>385309076
Maybe for cats, I have one and does that too, but I mean for dogs. For example, I had a dog with dementia, 15 years old. Talking a walk with it could be kinda difficult, I was once walking in the streets going to the park and while we were crossing the street my dog freezed, like even if you pulled she wouldn't move a muscle and stare at nothing, I had to carry her in my arms and she still had that possition, like a Garry's Mod freezed ragdoll, it was quite sad.
Another story was that while in the park (you can safely untie the dog from the belt.), I was petting her and suddenly she decided to run like there would be no tomorrow aimlessly, crossing the streets or running on it. She almost got rolled by a car.
>>385307708

Dude at that point you should just stomp your cat, it's the most humaine thing to do instead of letting it suffer another second of living.
>>385307408
Dont play games, spend time with your cat. You will regret wasting all your time on video games during a time like this.
I know I did.
>>385309792
Cat aids isn't life threatening as far as I'm aware.
>>385309792
How does cat aids work, similiar to human aids?
>>385307708
Gonna have to agree here. I have one favored cat who gets more scraps from me and is allowed to play with me and sleep on furniture. In return he catches mice and fucks up birds outside stopping only to look at me for approval then moves on to beating the shit out of the cuckcats we have.
If he died, I'd probably just say later cat and toss in trash. It's a fucking cat man. I keep a couple around to kill mice but at best cats are like emergency oh shit my house collapsed and I'm trapped in my basement food source.
If you love your cat, take him outside and smash him lovingly in the head with a shovel, then have a cat funeral or something. Don't use plastic snow shovels, would be painful and messy and take like 20 hits.
>>385310152
>>385310153
Yeah aids won't kill it, but the cat will be more vulnerable to infections
I and my family has raised a lot of cats, all of them disappear someday without a trace so I never have to take any cat down by myself.
I guess that's because I live in a thirdwolrd shithole

That sucks. Just remember old animals might break something easily, just like old people who basically die from stumbling and falling down.
You got a cute cat.
Looks like an older version of my kitten. He's a little shit though.
Stardew Valley.
Man I know they're cute but at the end of the day they're just a cat. I've lost so many that I've grown numb to animal suffering at this point. I don't really hate them, I just can't musterd the energy to bond emotionally with them anymore. Except frogs. Fuck frogs. I hate frogs. I'm going to post my top three favourite methods of torturing frogs and literally no one can stop me.
>3 force them to smoke
They're stupid as fuck. Put a cigarette in their mouth and they'll inhale until their lungs burst.
>2 use them as tennis ball
My family has an old tennis court that is slowly being reclaimed by nature. Nonetheless it still looks okay when you trim the grass and pull the foilage from the edges. My friend and I would spend a couple of hours collecting a bucket full of frogs, and then play tennis with them. Most would die after the first serve but sometimes we managed to do a rally before they died
>1 Vikings funeral
What's really fun is spending a couple of hours fletching arrows from wood. Then collect frogs, and nail them to a wooden plank. Then, you let them down a subtle stream and dip your arrow tip in a fire and shoot at the frog with a DIY bow.
I feel you, OP. I had a scare with my 13 year old cat a few months ago. Thought his kidneys were shutting down for good, turned out to be a curable infection. Pic related is him post treatment. I know that's not the most helpful, but for the week or so that I didn't know what was happening to him, I was in hell, as I'm sure you are now.
Hug your cat. Pet him. Make his last few days his best. When the time comes, be ready to let go.
>mom took in 2 feral kittens
>my sister and I took one each

>walked around swinging his body like he owns the place
>super lazy so he used to nap with me whenever I came home from school
>eventually mom gets pregnant again
>she kicks out our cats because apparently fur and cat stuff is bad for babies to breathe in
>our cats were forced to live outside for a couple years and learned to hunt squirrels on their own
>in that time I went off to college so I trusted my family with the cats
>one day mom finds Pete dead in front of our house
>don't know how to react, surprised I'm not immediately tearing up
>apparently broke his leg and eventually died in his sleep because of it
>come back home and mom shows me the grave she made for him
>start crying as soon as I see it
The little guy was only 4 years old. Would be 5 today if he hadn't died. I wish my mom didn't kick him out. His brother is still alive and comes by often so we can feed him, but man I'm gonna cry when we lose him too.
>>385307408
I have a dying cat as well anon so I feel you. It's Lymphoma.
Only 5 years old but I love that furball, staved away the loneliness.
Seems to be taking well to steroids and immune boosters though, so hopefully she's still comfortable and happy for a few more weeks.
I recommend Bastion.

What's wrong with frogs? They're kind of amusing. I remember my little sister's teacher let her babysit a tank of 3 frogs and all they did was just swim around. For some reason the tank was full of water and had nowhere for them to sit so all they did was swim around. They didn't even croak or anything. So what's wrong?

Speaking of cats, there is one cat roaming around ,seems pretty young, but whenever he is in a "distressful" (i think) situation (ie: i'm using the car and he's in the middle of the road, or i sprayed him with the hose to break up a catfight that was preventing me from sleeping) he gets "confused", tries to chase his own tail and stuff.

This thread sucks because they remind me of my mom. She works as a vet but last year she got a job in a lab since she also had a chemistry degree. She now experiments on rats and monkey cells, and she has to kill literally hundreds of rats every week. She sometimes "steals" one or two and bring them home as pets. I'm not sure how exactly she's dealing with all that. I wouldn't last a day, and she loves animals way more than I do. She has five dogs and two cats

>>385318713
I guess. It just doesn't seem like the right thing to do. Doesn't help that they save the female ones and use them to procreate more, so they never run out. Rats are literally born to die there. My mom's a lot braver than I am, that's for sure. Handling their brains and injecting them with viruses and shit? I could never do it, even if the pay was amazing.

It's not like they're trying to make the animals suffer, and it's for a good cause. Without animal experimentation, medicine would be absolute trash.
>>385318931
Yeah, but what else were they doing? They exist to breed, eat, and die as prey. At least this way they're propelling the apex species towards the future, so look at it like an Earth species alliance to beat the ayys.

Is it? My cat has no reason to kill those mice, it's just instinct and time wasting.
I think people who torture rats are absolute cunts, but if you're doing this shit humanely, it's a hell of a lot more ethical than something like eating meat. Unless you're a full on vegan, it seems like a weird thing to take issue with.

This is the younger cat, he's a few years old also a bit small. He likes to sleep all day and adventure at night.
He's a bit weird/tense/bored when it's raining/cold since he doesn't like to go out at those conditions.

Might have a few years depending on how healthy they are

Honestly keep an eye on their breathing or how much they are eating. If they start looking like they just went for a long run even though they arent doing anything , or they are refusing to eat then its serious

Are you sure it wasn't a suppository?

Sounds like she takes after me. In all seriousness, prognosis obviously will never be brilliant because she is of that kind of age but, groaning itself is not indicative of any sort of organ failure or anything like that. Perhaps she's becoming arthritic? I'd take her to a vet and talk about what you're feeding her and see if there's any way you can improve her General Health

>>>wanting your cat to get into fights with other cats, get ran over, get lost, stolen, eat poison, etc.
What is with this idea that everyone around you is a complete dick?
Most people are perfectly normal. Cats are naturally wary and will avoid most danger. Fights with other cats are hardly the end of the world, a few scratches won't do shit. Honestly, if your cat gets lost, maybe it was too stupid to live.

I read an account from a man working as a cleaner for a big company in a big city. He descrbied that when pigeons and other birds feel sick or injured, they retreat to the roof of the tallest building they can find. There, they hide, waiting for the good times.
Most of them die like that, hiding. Waiting.
This is the reason our streets aren't full of dead birdshitters.
My cat is 8 years old. Whenever I leave the room he starts whining.
>>385321329
Letting your cat go outside and wander about unsupervised is irresponsible. You're really not doing your cat any favors, you're just endangering them.
Your cat looks beautiful OP, I hope you get some good last moments with it. I recommend getting a new little kitt afterwards, not to abandon the memory of your old one, but to give another one a chance of a cool life.
Here's a picture of my older cat and recent kitten.
>>385321680
That's actually pretty healthy. Bringing animals into your home and using them as substitutes for actual people might be 'normal' but it sure as shit isn't sane.

My cat enjoys the outdoors. He wouldn't go out every night if he didn't.
The idea that he's somehow in some obscene amount of danger is ludicrous. I hope you've boarded up all your doors and windows, and only have your food delivered through the mailbox. The outside world is too dangerous for your cat, so it must be too dangerous for you too, right?

Ghost Trick
Daily reminder if you have your cat outside you are scum and should kill yourself you environment-destroying, toxoplasmosis-ridden faggot.
Not sure if I should neuter my cat. He runs around at night but he always comes back. Doesn't pee/mark around the place either. Sometimes he has wounds but only a few scratches. There is a gray faggot who thinks he owns the place. Faggot Gray even came into the house a few times but mine has grown a bit stronger and finally bested him. He's still roaming around sometimes but never gets too close. I think the wounds come from a marten or another wild animal.
He is pretty tame and nice. Never scratches or hisses at strangers unlike my older, female cat.
Sometimes I wonder what races they are.

My friend was allergic to cats.

He woke up blustering and had pink eyes, coughing - after that night, he never had allergies from cats again.

>>385307408

I'm loving this completely uncited gibberish. I guess someone should tell all the cats in my neighbourhood that they should have been dead years ago.

Actually, feral cats are. The issue is introducing them to new areas of the world because they're cute, not outdoor cats.

>A 2013 study by Scott R. Loss and others of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service suggested that free-ranging domestic cats (mostly unowned) are the top human-caused threat to wildlife in the United States, killing an estimated 1.3 to 4 billion birds and 6.3 to 22.3 billion mammals annually.
>Unspecified species of birds native to the U.S. and mammals including mice, shrews, voles, squirrels and rabbits were considered most likely to be preyed upon by cats.
>A 2001 study identified cats alone as responsible for the plight of some island bird species, such as the Townsend's shearwater, socorro dove, and the Marquesan ground dove.

Some cat breeds won't get to their full size before 3-4 years. They reach sexual maturity by one year however, and neutering them to cut down on the hormones to make them calmer and less territorial won't work anymore.

Revisionist history. What happened is /pol/ used to be a board that was only up during elections to make sure political discussion didn't leak out to other boards, then it became a permanent containment board where political ironic shitposting happened; We all know what happens when ironic shitposting happens, actual retards think they're welcome.

Good.
Someone who actually cares about cats did it for you.
Reminder that taming pets instead of just owning them is indoctrination and counternatural behavior.
Having your cat live a life of canned food and purring on a sofa means you probably carry on psychological problems inherited from your family's imprinting pressure during your childhood.
If you don't have more pets of the same species or an open space, and plan on making them live in your shitty apartment 24/7, you're unethical.
