Your message made me a little teary eyed. I guess because of how her life must have been before I adopted her and you ended your message with such kindness. Thank you for replying and bless you too! I bought her one of those automatic feeders that only opens when she is near, it reacts to her...

Hello! What does it mean when a cat grabs dry food in her mouth from her bowl and walks away to another place to eat it? She's always done that randomly and I have always wondered why. Background info on her: she spend a year or so at a shelter and before that she was found on the streets...

First of all, thanks all of you for replying to me. Sorry I answer so late, I've been busy and you know how it goes. I am giving her foods that is suppose to dissolve and prevent struvite and keep the PH levels healthy. Struvite is what they found in her urine. When I did an echo no stones were...

My adopted cat has always had urinary issues. She always tried to pee all the time in the litter box, usually only a little came out untill she actually had to actually pee. They never found a cause, they assumed it was because of stress. She also has always let urine flow during napping and...

They haven't suggested cystitis yet, but I am going to look into it and mention it to them. They saw crystals in her urine, and from the urine check they know it's struvite. She's now on a strict urinary s/o diet. I had to give her meloxidyl and certain pills that allows her muscles to relax or...

Brushing teeth every other day is also an option, IF there is a reason their dentals even need extra attention.

I get what you mean, and I agree with your thoughts on teeth and modern dentistry. Just like how they push people to have straight and white teeth, for example, while it's only normal for teeth to not be extremely straight and have some color. I know how you feel. I think going to another vet...

O wow, never knew it was a myth. thank you so much for sharing that with us!

If we put ourselves in their place, I think we can understand. Do you have a safe backyard? Maybe when you are there or near you can put the cat on a leash that is big enough for her to roam around but not long enough that she can do something unsafe. Never keep her there unattended, cats can...

To be honest.. no vet has ever told me to get their dentals done. They do check their teeth and gums every check-up, and one of our cats has to have his teeth brushed by me every other day, because his gums were red near his teeth, so we had to prevent it from becoming an issue, so now I just...

What word is censored there haha?

Could be a symptom, could just be some uncharming behaviour. Cats don't know how to use toilet paper unfortunately haha. My advice would be, do a little check-up at the vet, just to be sure.

I know that behaviour, but I only know it from one of my cats doing it to another, or doing it to my hand/arm when I am, I guess, annoying them, or to a kickeroo! I advice maybe trying to buy a kickeroo: Cat Kickeroo | KONG Company and when the cat does that, put the kickeroo right with the cat...

I will look into the diaper idea. The pictures of cats wearing them look incredibly cute haha. Thank you for your advice. I think she might have chronic UTI, if that is even a thing (?), which also makes it easier for her to keep developing these crystals/stones. I just can't remember a time...

My adopted cat Buffy has had UTI/struvite stone problems since I have gotten her. I left a message on the forums before asking for advice because she had blood in her urine but that problem has been solved. They did an echo, changed to a strict diet, checked her urine a few times. She has...
