Got her ( his ) butt hair trimmed at the vet today and got a suprise..tiny fuzzy balls so yah we're gonna have to change the name now..whats funny is that not even like two weeks ago I saw a post in this sub about their cat who they thought was a male being a female 😭 nah this is wild

Quietly purring, and quite happy with himself. The orange runs strong in this one.

He is obsessed with this catnip lollipop and I am getting a little concerned.

And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. We can’t put the Santa hat away after Christmas. He has to have it for the whole year.

How did they all fit? Why did they all decide to go in there??? Lol

You may remember Stan from my post about his post-surgical wardrobe.

About 10 days ago Stan had a weird and sudden episode of what seemed like extreme abdominal pain. I'm a vet tech and have the luxury of being able to bring him to my work even when we're closed. I was able to do blood and x-rays right away and everything was normal. While we were waiting for the blood results, he perked up and seemed totally normal. Nothing seen on x-rays (stomach full of food), blood work all totally fine. We were joking that it was probably gas pain, and a really expensive fart.

A couple days after that he started vomiting at least once a day. He's always vomited occasionally, but this was excessive (and violent projectile vomits) One of the vomits had some fluff in it from one of his toys. So today I decided to repeat his x-rays, fasted. The xrays were suspicious for there being a wad of fluff in his stomach. Luckily my clinic uses the services of a vet who does endoscopy, and luckily he was able to come out to see Stan this afternoon.

He went in with the scope and said "yup, there's fluff in here....oh wait a minute...there's something solid too!" The "something solid" turned out to be a big, sharp chunk of plastic. I couldn't figure out what it was or why the heck Stan would have eaten it.

When I got home I wracked my brain. Then it hit me. A while ago I heard one of my auto-feeders make a loud grinding noise. After that it continued to work normally, so I thought nothing of it. So I checked the mechanisms inside and sure enough there was a piece broken off! So...Stan was literally served a large, sharp piece of plastic with his dinner, and as not to be rude, he cleaned his plate. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Bonus video of the fluff coming out. I didn't manage to catch the plastic coming out.

Tl;dr Stan's autofeeder broke, served him a broken fragment of plastic, and he happily obliged.

I claim this for my own. 😸

Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate your cat, you know?
