People Are Sharing Hilarious Stories About The Times They Thought Their Pets Were Dying
We all have our moments. And Louis the cat just had his. Recently, he became one of the most popular kitties on the internet. However, Louis himself isn’t too happy about it. You see, it all happened because of his depression. But don’t worry, this story ends on a happy note.
When his owner, PaladinAmber, noticed that Louis wasn’t feeling too well, she got really scared. The little furball wasn’t eating, sleeping, drinking… She thought he was dying. So she did what every caring human would do; she took him to the vet. Luckily, they reassured PaladinAmber that Louis wasn’t going to pass away anytime soon. He was just very, very sad that some other cat whooped his ass.
Continue scrolling to learn more about the situation from PaladinAmber’s Twitter thread that has already received over 823K likes!

Louis came into his owners’ lives in a non-conventional way. Years ago, he was found rolling around inside the outside recycle bin. He was invited into the house that day and never left. He’s around ten years now, and he’s getting to that age where he’s naturally slowing down.
“He is a soft and sweet introvert, he keeps to himself mostly but will sometimes sneak up behind me while I’m hanging out washing to play and roll around,” PaladinAmber told Bored Panda. “He’s also sometimes an asshole, with his literal asshole and he’ll try and put his butt on as many things as he can.”
Louis’ typical day starts with waking up in one of two places, his outside box or out from under the bed. He then usually snacks on some biscuits for breakfast with his humans, and later might sit outside on this old tree stump or climb on the dining table and lounge around there for a while.
“Louis might go off on an adventure or he‘ll wait until we take the dogs for a walk and then follow behind ever step of the way. Then he’ll snack yet again on dinner and return to either spot to sleep so he can wake back up and do it all over again.”
But it might not have been the first fight Louis had. “Louis occasionally has come home with a mark on his ear or a small bite on his face,” PaladinAmber said. “But every time we take him to the vet and get him checked out, Louis is an outdoor/indoor cat and so we know that the risks of that are fighting, infection, even cat aids so we take him to the vet whenever something seems off.”
This time, the owners waited two days because he was still eating his wet food and in the evenings he would take baby sips from the dog’s water. “It wasn’t until day two where he just sat there looking at the water that we decided ‘okay maybe something is up,’ we kept a very close eye on him over those two days though.”
“Louis is doing absolutely fine and doesn’t really care about his new internet fame because… well, he’s a cat and cats are assholes,” PaladinAmber added.

I have a yellow lab we adopted when she was 4 and she had A LOT of energy. We took her on a hike that was a bit longer than we had been on before and on our way back, she started limping really badly and would lay down every 50 feet or so. We were obviously concerned and felt her leg for any signs of injury and she didn't flinch or try to move her leg when we touched it or tried moving it. We gave her some water and kept encouraging her to keep going and she would get up and limp a little and lay back down. Then we came to a stream and she sprinted to the water and started swimming around. Oddly enough, the limp then totally went away and she was running and jumping around. Looking back we realized she had been limping when she was in the sun and laying down every time she got to shade. She was fine the rest of the hike, she had just gotten a little too hot and she was trying to tell us that the only way she could think of. She also sprained her tail from wagging it to much.

I was once outsmarted by one of my rabbits. He had trouble with his teeth once or twice a year and I knew it was time for the vet when he stopped eating. After a while he knew that and pretended to be eating when I was watching him. He put his head over the bowl and watched me while I was watching him. Clever little fluff.

Last year my 15-year-old cat Nora stopped eating after a vet visit... so I took her back in and they ran all these expensive tests. It turns out she stopped eating because she was pissed I had taken her to the vet (the first time). GEE THANKS NORA.

I had a kitten who broke her hip. She would limp any time she was in trouble, for years, long after she was completely healed.

Our neighbours dog always fakes sickness, whenever his humans are fighting...

He’s probably not faking. It’s probably extremely stressful for him.

My current house panther decided to protest my packing by peeing in my suitcase. Pity it was the decoy suitcase... ;-P (Sadly, this is true. *sigh*)

When my cat was a kitten, she got punch in the eye by an adult cat while playing. It was hard for her to open that eye for a few days, we gave her ample attention during that period. Snuggles, treats, baby talks. Since then now 7 years later, she will have one eye closed when she feels we are ignoring her. How we know she is faking it? The eye that closes switches from one to the other.

I've seen that happen with limping after a broken leg. (usually a dog, but cats will do it, too.)
