    Happened to us with one of our old ladies who passed a couple years ago.

    She was walking around all hunched for a day or so, yowling at everything. We got lucky though, the vet used a rectal thermometer and that unclogged the pipes in quick fashion!

    Me: “Why are you wearing a tuxedo?”

    Atticus: “It’s after 6, what am I, a farmer?”

    Relieved to hear that Atticus didn’t have Incontinentia buttocks

    My cat had a stroke that affected her back end. There was a terrifying time where we didn’t know if she’d be able to empty her own bowels anymore. I had to massage her constipation out of her.

    Now her poops surprise her and she frequently runs away when it happens.

      Omg, that’s terrible and really funny. My cat became afraid of her tail when she was ~7yo. It was never a problem, then suddenly she was terrified of it. She got better, but only to the point that she swats it because she doesn’t realize it’s attached to her butt.

      Damn I had no idea I was reading a cat’s opinion on video games the last 200-odd days! What the hell, Atticus. Tell us you’re a cat if you’re gonna give me opinions on video games.

    We have a constipated cat. Our vet recommended a tiny amount of Miralax daily.

    No way I am spending that much for a cat but it is admirable

    Once my cat time comes to go it goes as nature called it.

    Me too if I am to be honest, I am just going to chill on the grassy plains in the sunlight until last breath rather than suffering in a sterile hospital bed. And then the grass will grow over me and I shall become one with the earth

      It’s not surprising that Google.com has a dollar amount they’re willing to spend on keeping something or someone you love alive. Real corpo swine behavior.

        Just playing my part lmao

        No but seriously how much your cat is worth to you? 200$? 2000$? I’d say around 2k dollars

        Anymore than that and I am getting a new one fr

      My cat ate almost 40 hair ties. We discovered this because she went into shock and required emergency surgery. The alternatives were an excruciating death or euthanasia. We were quoted up to $15k but got a relative steal at $7500. My partner fucking loves that cat.

      I don’t think they knew how much it would cost when they first brought the cat to the vet; depending on the diagnosis, it could have been less than $200.
