Both main scratchers are full-height. She can comfortably stretch out horizontally and vertically. Unfortunately catnip does not affect her. I've started spraying the cupboard with a scent made from citrus oils which is supposed to keep cats away from the area. I also just bought some...

Yes she's been spayed over a year ago.

I've had to leave her with my parents while I'm out of town for a few weeks. She loves their house because it is big and gives her lots of places to explore. They've told me she's been doing the same thing to them. This is strange because she never used to. I put out a few cardboard scratchers...

I don't think it is redirected aggression, although she does it during the day, it is always worst at about the same time of night when she gets her daily energy surge. The tape I've been using is a clear, strong, double-sided tape used specifically to deter cats from scratching. Each time I...

Every day. We play with toys and chase each other. Unfortunately she can't go outside without supervisation as there are two hostile cats in the area which fight violently.lucy has come running inside with fur missing, dripping Blood and covered i urine.

Hello all. Every night I have to stop my cat from shredding up the wooden doorways and the carpet near them. She claws almost every corner, nook and cranny of the unit. They are now starting to show visible damage. She has two scratching posts and enjoys using them regularly but there is...

I don't trim her claws. Unfortunately she's a small girl and even though the other cat isn't much bigger it is so aggressive she always comes off second best. I often hear cat fights at night so I think it goes after other cats in the neighborhood too. Legally a cat must be locked up at night...

Thanks. I'm going to try and find the owner to see if I can at least talk to them. I'm wondering if their cat is a whole Tom. As for moving her, I don't want to yet but her ability to adapt is incredible. When I first brought her home from the RSPCA she jumped out of the carrier, ran around my...

Hi Willowy. I'm always surprised (and disturbed) by the stories I hear about the things that happen to cats in the USA. From poisoning to shooting and more, I was just reading about a guy on a property in the US who went out each day to shoot cats for sport (including domestics). Thankfully in...

My cat is certainly de-sexed, I don't know about the neighbor's. As for walking her on a leash, she get very stressed out about even a collar. I think having originally being a stray she is very distressed about being confined.  I've always been able to trust her outside since she isn't a...

Hello. I'm having trouble with a neighbor's cat which comes into my yard on an almost daily basis for the sole purpose of attacking my cat. This is not just the other cat asserting itself, it is a vicious, deliberate attack. I remember one time she came back with a chunk taken out of her...

Hello there. I had to put my cat in a cattery for a few days while I was out of town and when I came back she seemed to have bit of a cold with some clear fluid in her lungs. That in itself isn't unusual since she is a flu carrier however the next day she suddenly stood up and began...

Correction - she was originally 6lb, now is 7.7

Hello. She is a fairly small adult about 2.5 years old. She was 2.7kg (7lbs) when I got her from the RSPCA which was only marginally underweight, now she is 3.5kg (7.7lbs) and getting slightly round. I don't think she has any more growing to do; so far the weight she has put on has been going on...

Hello there. Unfortunately my furry little problem child is driving me to the brink of insanity. She constantly craves food 24/7. Even though I feed her a good diet consisting of fresh meat and Hills dry food several times per day, not long afterwards she begins following me, meowing vigorously...
