My female Siberian Forest Cat (2yo) has been meowing very loudly (any time, day or night), like she's calling out to someone.  We've noticed that most of the time she's doing this, she has a toy w/ her, sometimes in her mouth, sometimes in front of her.  The toy is a long, snake-like soft piece...

I have 2 cats (both 2yo, Siberian Forest Cats, 1 male, 1 female, both neutered), had both since kittens. Today, one of them urinated (or sprayed???) on my daughters new carpet and on the bottom of the bedding (bedding is not new).  It wasn't a round puddle (like the spot I found on the dining...

my male (neutered) 2yo Siberian Forest cat poops himself every time he has to get in the car.  He has long hair, and it's just a MESS.  I bought a large dog sized crate for the back of my SUV, roomy enough for a litter box and a cat bed.  Last time I transported him in that, hoping he'd go in...

We have one male and one female Siberian Forest cats, both almost 1yo.  they've always been indoor.  We have a screened porch off our dining room that I always keep the door open, so they have a wonderful screened area as well as our house. We also have two 90lb dogs (goldendoodle and german...

thank you!  I will definitely remind the vet about the liver enzymes in a few weeks, and ask to retake them.  I forgot all about that - just so happy to have my little girl home.  Now I have to keep her and the boy separated for 2 weeks.  Can't wait until they can just play and cuddle together...

thank you so much for all that info!!   I'll watch for symptoms of a reaction to the shot - so good to know all that about it for the future.  I soooo wish I had called the breeder when I first saw blood.  I've always only relied on vets - lesson learned.   Thanks to everyone for your well...

as to when to neuter, my vet was recommending neutering the male at 6 months and the female later for her to be older.  Is this not what is normally done?  I feel like this all could have been avoided if they both were neutered younger.  But I don't know if there's a good reason to wait a bit.

so the vet called... my girl had pyometra.  Her uterus was full of puss and blood.  The vet said they haven't even seen a case in a few years, even in dogs, and hardly ever in a young cat.  Should I let the breeder know?  Or is it a random thing that the breeder wouldn't care to be made aware...

so she's back at the vet now.  they're going to neuter her today, and hopefully all goes well.  Yes, it's very possible the male cat tried to mate with her and hurt her.  The vet told me when she neutered the male yesterday, she looked at his privates, and he's 'large' and so are his barbs, so...

thank you so much for your quick reply... I appreciate it.

my 9 month old Siberian Forest kitty has been in heat 2x's, and has been bleeding for a week now.  I called the vet a few days ago, they said it was probably just her period, and she was scheduled to be fixed today anyway (along w/ our 6 month old male cat - not her brother but same breeder).  ...

We just got a Siberian female (16 weeks old) last week.  We want 2 kitties, but there were only a few available, and the others were hiding, not very friendly, etc, when we went to the breeders house.  This one was perfect for us. There will be many to pick from in 2 months (a few litters were...

I've always thought that male cats can spray, even if they're neutered, and that females generally don't. I've recently learned that was wrong.  I'd love to be educated on spraying.   We recently got a female kitten, and are getting another kitten in a few weeks.  I was set on 2 females...

I truly appreciate your reply!   "Supposedly" the Siberians don't produce the amount of the protein FEL-D1 that most cats do.  Of course I'm not going to take the breeders word for it.  Husband and son will play with/pet the adult mommy for a while.  My husband can tell w/in 30 minutes or so...

I've posted before about my 2 kitties.  We adopted them last November from the humane society, and were allowing them to be indoor/outdoor cats.  They were bringing home 1/2 dead prey and eating it while it was still alive.  We were prepared to find a horse barn that wanted hunting cats.  I also...
