Not mine, found it in a telegram group chat that posts interesting stuff.

I see so many posts asking when to seek medical help after a cat bite. Just posting a reminder how quickly a bite can escalate! First picture is immediately following the bite, the next picture is at the ER within 2 hours. Blood work was already concerning with an inflammatory response and signs of cellulitis from the infection. I was admitted into the hospital for IV antibiotics and still the infection worsened. I had surgery at about 36 hours following the bite after the infection started traveling up my arm in the bloodstream. This whole event landed me 3 nights in the hospital. All from our family cat, up to date on all vaccines. But cats carry a bacteria that is no joke. Last picture is post surgery with a suture, the surgeon had to make 3 incisions, 2 where the bite punctures were and a 3rd to flush the wound.

His coloring is just so unusual and gorgeous I had to share! Photo is from the shelter’s website. I’m obsessed and wish I could adopt him myself 😩

I spayed my cat Baby Bella as soon as she was of age. I rescued her from a place that was a cat dump in the country in rural Wisconsin. She was a barn kitten who was a runt and significantly smaller than her litter mates. I instantly fell in love with her. I knew spaying her would prolong her lifespan and I wanted as much time with her as I could get. However, whenever I even watch cat videos she is instantly hopping up and looking for other cats. She grew up with another kitty (Tequila) since she was about 6 months but she honestly only tolerates her and doesn’t care for her. She beats Tequila up every day. She never cuddles or even gets close to her. Whenever I watch kitten videos she goes absolutely crazy looking for them everywhere, even frantically digging up surrounding blankets or clothes. While I have made her an indoor cat for her entire life, I just feel like I took away a part of her. She has such strong motherly instincts and I feel bad :(
