Why do these guys trigger my fight or flight so badly? Am I a pussy? Or should I be afraid?

Cat ambush

No.4782064 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
/an/ bros. My 9 year old tabby unfortunately got attacked by a juvenile pit. She is limping, after the initial attack she was limp in my arms and panting heavily; something she has never done before. Right now she is laying in my bed and breathing normally, ate a good amount of food, and only growls when I touch her leg. I inspected her and found no punctures or lacerations, but she can't walk on her back leg. What do I do? Vets are retarded expensive. I'm scared. I should mention that I saved her before the kill grip, but I'm worried. Do I let her rest? Do I take her in? I did little PT exercises with her limbs and she didn't wail in pain or anything. What do I do?

Mysterious Stranger

For the past week my cat has been losing her shit occasionally banging on glass at random periods throughout the day. I finally figured out why and there’s this other cat that’s been talking with her. I don’t see a collar on it or a tag. I’m worried because I live next to bobcat and coyote infested woods. I don’t want to feed it partially for that reason, it would suck for it to get snatched by something. I do like the socialization my cat gets with another cat she’s been raised inside her whole life.

What do I do? Do I talk to my neighbors and see if they have an outdoor cat? Do I warn them if it is their cat? I previously lost 2 previous pets by letting them roam outside. It’s a really pretty cat…

/dog/ feeding:
Get the facts about the raw feeding myth. To date, no dog or human has experienced malnutrition or poor health because their food was cooked. If you buy premade raw food, you should cook it via sous vide or a pressure cooker (most quality kibble is pressure cooked so nutrients don't leach into oil/water).
