    Cat trying to sneak outside

    I don't think she would go far if she did get out but you never know. I live in a downtown area next to a river so I'm terrified of what could happen to her. She did slip out of an old apartment but was only in the hallway. My door leads to the outside and no way to block it so I will just have...

    Cat trying to sneak outside

    Lately one of my cats has been more and more curious about the outside. She will watch you out the window and when you walk towards the door she will be waiting right there to slink out once it is open. Tonight she snuck past my fiancé as we were walking in the door and got out the back door for...

    Cat not using litter box

    She was doing great when I left for work this morning! No peeing outside the box (knock on wood). I saw her checking out the area behind the box last night but after that she walked into and used her box. We have her set up with a kitty water fountain and will be getting her a second litter box...

    Cat not using litter box

    Alright, no signs of a UTI (yay!) and the vet thinks that is stress related. Said to keep an eye on her and make sure she stays super hydrated.

    She's at the vet now but apparently they haven't been able to do anything since she hasn't produced a sample. What will they do if she doesn't urinate for them?

    Cat not using litter box

    Are UTIs usually very treatable? I'm starting to get worried and I'm letting my imagination and google searches get the best of me. My boyfriend is at home now and said it looks like she used her box but she is being very vocal and needy. I'm just terrified of something awful being wrong with her.

    Thanks! The vet didn't mention anything about taking samples when I called so I figure I'll just let them do their thing. She hasn't had any other symptoms of a UTI so I'm hoping this is an easy fix!

    Cat not using litter box

    Looks like we are off to the vet tomorrow. I scrubbed the area with Nature's Miracle last night (like, literally dumped out the whole bottle and scrubbed). I thought everything was fine because she peed in her box. However, this morning I heard her scratching around by her box and when I looked...

    Cat not using litter box

    Hello! I noticed on Friday when I cleaned Olive's box that there was no urine but she did have some poop. I spoke to the vet who said not to worry unless it was still a problem by Monday. We visited my boyfriend's parents for the weekend and when we got back she had peed on the carpet right...

    Wet food suggestion

    Figuring out calories would be helpful. I'm thinking she should be closer to 9-10 pounds. We've done Blue Buffalo dry before and she loved it.

    Wet food suggestion

    The vet recommended switching Olive from a dry food only diet to wet food only to stabilize her weight. I used to give her both wet and dry but my old roommate had her cat on dry only so we just adjusted. She's 13 pounds and has been around that weight since she was spayed about a year and a...
