    Moving beloved outdoorsy 12y/o cat to city apartment without outdoor access - is it possible?

    A 3 hour drive isn't anything super long, it should be manageable for her. Make sure you have a secure carrier, tag the carrier in case of emergency (I usually put a strip of tape with my name and number on it), and bring towels/cleaning supplies so you can clean up if there are any accidents...

    Moving beloved outdoorsy 12y/o cat to city apartment without outdoor access - is it possible?

    The first few weeks would be the hardest, but I say go for it. You'd want to do some catification of your home first, shelves or cat trees for climbing. Lots of scratching posts (vertical, horizontal, angled, cardboard and sisal) because she's going to be used to scratching surfaces. I would...

    This specific thread is regarding a tracker for an indoor cat in case they get outside. Indoor cats who get outside are at risk of those same dangers if they aren't found quickly.

    Tile/airtag on cat collar?

    Not to mention, Microchips only work if the person finding the animal has access to a scanner and the animal is actually registered in the system they have access to.

    Tile/airtag on cat collar?

    A lot of people like to cite that number but I have yet to figure out where it is coming from. There are studies on stray cats versus pet cats, and yes in many cases the stray uncared for cats did have significantly shorter lifespans. Which seems like a very expected outcome if we compare anyone...

    Tile/airtag on cat collar?

    I have a tile in my luggage that's in the garage, according to my tile app the last known ping for my luggage is from when I went in the garage this evening to grab something out of the outside freezer. I was sitting in the kitchen, which is the closest room to the garage, and the app didn't...

    Tile/airtag on cat collar?

    I've tried similar ideas in the past. The tiles themselves aren't bad but the do rely on a device with Tile installed being within Bluetooth range. Which does mean that, typically, the further you are from it the less likely it is to be exact. It may only be able to give you a last known...

    Twin Rabbits

    It's hard to tell since he's Fluffy about the weight but his last two bum checks have been pretty good. He was being a brat last week about going back in but yesterday he was fine again. I think it's because his treat with dinner the last two days has been carrot and dill biscuits (which he...

    Overweight cat and unique challenges to help him

    Do you feed wet or dry food? If you feed dry, you can set up a room or closet with a microchip cat door that only allows the one who needs more access in. That way that cat can go in whenever they want for food. There is a slight learning curve for the door itself but once they figure it out it...

    How long should they stay on appetite stimulant?

    I usually stop as soon as they start eating on their own again. I tend towards not wanting get someone dependent on medications. Just keep and eye and start using again if it isn't good enough.

    Frodo, still loving being on a diet and exercise plan. Although the reduced treats and pellets at dinner is kinda rude. He's looking extra chunky in the photo because he is nestled down into himself and fluffed up.

    My cat likes a dog better than another cat. Strange?

    It's actually both for the same reason. Another cat is a threat to her territory, another female at that so they are competing for all the same resources. She sees another animal who uses the same litter box, smells like a cat, eats cat food, etc. Direct competition for all the good stuff. A dog...

    White spot on cat's paw pad

    Sounds like you are past home care for sure. Hopefully the vet can give you some guidance but they may all have the same illness going on.

    Overdoing the Probiotics?

    There is such thing as too many probiotics, especially since your cat can't communicate how they feel. I would only do the singular probiotic and not double it up for my cats (even for myself TBH).
