    Meet my handsome new man

    Ghost definitely has his visible when sleepy. If you notice it going away during points of the day, that's likely why. Nobel used to sleep with that lid closed and his first lids open sometimes. Weirdo.

    Introducing Older Cat to Bonded Pair

    When I was brining my cat home, we ways did similar and it was fine. Since it was never more than a few weeks, no cats were really stressed, even though Nobel had FLUTD. He never minded the travel and always packed himself up when he saw me packing. We stopped travelling when he was around 10...

    Anyone have good luck with Feliaway?

    If there's not a way for you to remember like putting a sticky note on the door for yourself, then it's best to stick with the spray. :) It shouldn't cause breathing issues as long as you are following directions and not spraying at the cat. You just spray the places you want and then give...

    Bonded Sisters still hissing/swatting randomly

    What are you doing environmentally to lower her stress? Is she getting daily alone play time with to run out that stress energy? What other enrichment does she have? Building confidence to lower that level of anxiety is very important for cats who experience anxiety aggression. Feline...

    Royal Canin and Crystals

    Fancy Feast really is not the worst of budget food depending on which recipes you're feeding him. (Ones without cheese and milk are best) You're correct in thinking he should not loose weight too slowly and they hydration from adding water to his food is important. Some cats do need a slow...

    Anyone have good luck with Feliaway?

    Agreed. I've mentioned in every post to only have it on when home and that I do not use the feliway plug. But the OP's other major concern is the safety of the contents of diffuser, which was the only part I was suggesting was fine.

    My senior with a heart murmur was able to have a dental with two extractions at age 14. So it is possible. My vet office always uses heart monitoring during anesthesia.

    Definitely send the photo to your vet to take a look. Could be ringworm!

    Constipation Meltdown!

    I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with this for so long. There's a few other cats on the forum that have ran around with poos. How did the pumpkin go? Is it always no poos or does she sometimes have some hard poos? If hard poos, is there lots of hair in the poo? Some cats have real...

    Anyone have good luck with Feliaway?

    IBD is a stress disorder so I'm sure feliway would have a positive effect on IBD. I've never had a cat with CRF but I used Feliway with my cat with FLUTD. A quick good search shows that many people on Reddit with CRF cats have used Feliway to lower stress. There's a few articles from...

    Need advice on taking my cat abroad or not

    I would keep him with your mom. 5 months is not even a half year. For a more permanent move, I would suggest taking him but not for something so short. You'd likely have to put him through 2 quarantines because of going and then coming home. And you may need a vet abroad to provide a note...

    The dilemma of care vs trauma

    Heating up the food with a bit of boiled water is a good tip for eating. So is crushing up some dry food on top or some temptations treats or similar. Using kitten food or elderly food as its extra smelly is also a good idea. I use Mother ans Babycat by Royal canin for a couple meals when needed.

    Cats and Covid

    My understanding is that cats can catch it, but symptoms are usually milder, or they remain asymptomatic. The vet office I go to doesn't perform surgery on cats whose owners are testing positive as the cats can pass it to the human vets and techs.

    Adopted new cat who is difficult to play with + play aggression.

    Have you tried getting him a kicker toy to wrestle? you'll still need to play it with him, to keep it exciting but it does very much help to get the wrestle energy out.

    Anyone have good luck with Feliaway?

    Anyone have good luck with Feliaway?

    Its because the oil builds up on the plug. I actually got a Relaxivet plug instead and the feliway diffusers fit in those perfectly. My vet's office has a feliway diffuser in every outlet with no issues of fire. They have two locations. Internet reviews will always skew negative, and of...
