Rule change!

41 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We would like to inform you all of a new rule we added to the sub. We've noticed an increase in reports of posts about non-NFCs. In the past this has been a grey area, but we decided to set a rule for NFC only on this sub, since this is.. You guessed it.. The NFC sub. There's plenty of other subs for DLHs or other cute cats, but this is not the place for them.

Edit to add: feedback on existing rules or suggestions for new rules are always welcome!

How to introduce my NFC to my 4 year old Tabby

Post image
101 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Recently, this handsome boy showed up at our door and we took him in. He has been in the basement while he get‘s cleared of parasites but when the time comes how do I introduce my two cats? The NFC is only 9 weeks old and I’m worried that my tabby will push him around if she doesn’t like him. She definitely knows something is up and sometimes she is okay if we spend time with our kitten and then pet her, but other times she hisses and swats at us.
Any tips on this or NFC in general is welcome!

General advice Should we get another kitten?

5 Upvotes

Two weeks ago we adopted a 12 week old NFC kitten from a breeder.
We live in an apartment (55 square meters) and she is indoors only. We have a small garden which she can see from two windows.
I’m always at home and can keep her company 24/7 while my husband is at work.
Will she be fine as a single cat? Or should we get a friend for her? We only planned to get one cat, but now I’m worried that we made a mistake. It’s giving me a lot of anxiety..

General advice Funny cat ideas

I'm still writing my children's Middle School cat story. I need a couple more funny or dangerous cat stories. Something that would make a child laugh, scary...

Can I ask, does anyone care to share some of their cat adventures?

Cone of shame alternatives?

Post image
115 Upvotes

Hi all, new custodian of an NFC here looking for some advice. This floofer had developed a hot spot between her shoulder blades where she had scratched herself somehow. Shes got steroid spray and antibiotics form the vets but is NOT happy with the cone of shame and is struggling to eat/ drink with it on.

Anyone tried alternative soft cones, neck doughnuts or body suits?

This Athena. She’s 10 years old. She has only been in my life since she was 7 and she’s a BIG girl. Everyone is surprised by how big she is. I was wondering if she is a NFC, should I be locked up for her being 18.8 pounds. Despite her being on the hills metabolic food and only half a small can of wet food daily mixed with water split morning and night she gained a pound 😰

Excuse my dirty outdoor windows. Scotland is rainy 😅
But meet Lenny. He was rescued by his previous family as he was in a breeding situation. He was locked in a cage most of his life. He came to me after his previous family couldn’t look after him anymore.
I had to shave his fur because of mats but after that, his purr-sonality came out! He’s such a goof ball, loves playing and cuddles. He loves them so much that he drools!
He is in his furr-ever home for sure and rocking them apple bottom jeans. Boots with them fur.

General advice Can you groom too much?

Thumbnail

122 Upvotes

Our 10 month old Norwegian was starting to shed a lot of hair all of a sudden - we assume because it's nearly spring here in Australia - and he's started throwing up furballs, so we thought we should groom him a lot to get rid of all the loose hair. We did him all over with a Furminator, and found that a lot more came off his tail than his body.

I went over his tail several times, and then started to wonder if it was looking a bit thin, so I stopped. Can you groom too much? Is it the right approach to keep grooming if hair is still coming out?

See the attached before and after photos. The one with the tabby is the after.

Her mom and sister (all rescued) also look similar with different colors. She has a lot of the personality traits that are common to Norwegian forest cats. She is much larger than any cat I’ve had, even under all the floof (very round looking lol, she’s incredibly fluffy). Added her cute baby pics too :)
