In the life of a cat owner, thankfully, most of the time, things are calm. Our kitties nap, they look for spots with sunshine, they cuddle up next to us. Life is good with cats. But not everyone is as pleased with cats as we are, unfortunately, and some can even be cruel. Today's story is about a cat who got poisoned - maliciously, according to the cat owner. Luckily, the cat owner was around, took care of the poor kitty, and rescued it. And the owner is not the only one was taking care of it. The cat's adorable adopted sibling, although usually not affectionate,  came to the rescue, cuddling its sibling.

We love bonded cat pairs so much. Seeing them provide comfort and love to one another makes us so happy. Thankfully, now that a week has passed since the post initially went viral, we've gotten an update that he feels better, and although, of course, we want to thank the owner, we think another thank you should go to the cat sibling, who was there to help with recovery as well.

    Rectangle - 2 r/cats u/d ckbuttinator • 7d.i.redd.it 2 1 1 Join Somebody gave rat poison to my cat simba (orange) and now he's slowly recovering with treatment. Luna my other cat loves her personal space but decided to keep him company during his recovery and my heart is just melting

    To us, the reason this person had treatment on hand does not matter at all. We're just glad that they had it and knew how to use it when it was needed. Maybe we should all have it in our homes just in case something like this happens. Thank you for being there for your kitty.

    Cats have such an awful reputation for being "unfeeling" or "uncaring", and it is so not true. This sweetheart came because it knew it was needed and that its presence would do its bonded pair a whole lot of good. And that's just about all the proof we could ever need that cats are adorably affectionate. They just choose when to be affectionate, and we respect that lol.

    Font - Ignatiusthecat +2.7d Do you at least fix them? I used to simply feed and shelter until I realized that I was creating an even larger homeless cat community. They reproduce like WILD and they're mating season is from February-October. Please tell me you do that for these babies. : dickbuttinator OP • 7d Yes we try as much as possible Reply 486

    Rectangle - Ignatiusthecat +2.7d Then I suppose at least you're doing that. Please look into resources in your area and a "live trap" if you don't already have one. ⠀ • 7d 25 dickbuttinator OP I live in Morocco. We don't really have stuff like that. So we just try our best to trap them and neuter them

    Azure - Western_Smell_2710 • 6d The rat poison I usually buy has vitamin E as an antidote. What did Simba eat? I hope he gets well soon. Reply 43 ↓ dickbuttinator OP • 6d I always have vitamin K vials on hand. I immediately injected him before i rushed him to the vet

    Rectangle - Grainis01 6d Well you let the cat outside, most likely it ate a poisoned rat/mouse it is far more likely than malice. But may the cat have a speedy recovery nonetheless. 3 dickbuttinator OP.6d It's not the first time it happened out of malice. It's extremely rare to see rodents in our area

    Colorfulness - Jive Train 6d I love how everybody tends to invent stories about nefarious people poisoning their cats. Nobody "gave" your cat poison, he ate a poisoned rodent while roaming about. It takes a while for rodents to die from the poison. It's your job to keep your cat safe, i.e indoors, if you live in an area where rat poison is legal and in use. ⠀ Reply 4 11 ↓ dickbuttinator OP.6d It's not the first time it happened. We don't have rodents in the area i live in. Last year someone deli

    Font - cryptonewb73 I am a vet tech and have seen many animals get into rat poison. If it's early we can make them vomit. If not we give them vitamin k and charcoal in the stomach and hope for the best. Please don't use Rat Poison of any kind if you have pets around. It's not worth the risk. There are alternatives such as shock traps that work well ⠀ Reply +1.6d 23 dickbuttinator OP • 6d That's what we did immediately.

    Azure - writerdancerlover • 3d Can I ask how long after the cat was poisoned did you seek help? My cat got into some rat poison today and is currently at the ER getting fluids, blood tests, etc...
