Thank you! The vet ended up asking me to bring her in anyway and figured it's an yeast infection. Fingers crossed it clears up fast and doesn't happen again.

Hi all, today I noticed that my cat had something going on with her left paw. The furthest paw pad seemed to have lost all the fur around it, and the skin around the pad is crusty, thick, and flaky. She does not show any signs of pain when it is handled or touched. She has an appointment at the...

@ArtNJ we actually asked the vet and she agreed that overexciting kitty could've caused the seizure because of the timing and there being no other issues they could find as far as blood test goes. We can't afford to pursue further because of financial reasons, the emergency vet visit was already...

A bit of backstory: my kitten got a seizure two months ago when she was only about 4 months old (poor girl) during a play session with a new toy. My family had came to the conclusion that overexciting her during play was the trigger, and the vet recommended us to get a cage for her when we're...

Story is I was putting the herbal oil on a cut on my forearm using a cotton square but I don't remember if I had washed my hands before I tended to my kitten. She was grooming after breakfast and licked my fingers, and I'm terrified she managed to ingest the oil from my hands. I don't have the...

@LTS3 thank you for your reply. She got a bit of soft mushy stools on Tuesday night, but otherwise she seems fine, though her poop today was squishier than usual.

My kitten dipped her paw in my bowl of soup before I could stop her and I'm afraid she licked some of it off before I could clean her paw. The ingredients are whey powder, lactose, potato, vegetable oil, salt, cheese, dextrin, glucose syrup, mirepoix (onion, carrot, celery, vegetable fat...

Will do, thank you.

We just visited the vet and she was given a clean bill of health, though they didn't do any extensive blood tests or the like. I guess it's a growing up thing but I'm still worried she'll gulp them down when I'm not around, so I've mixed the pellets in with the granules hoping it'll discourage...

That's not an option unfortunately. I don't live in the US where I assume the majority of the brands I've seen recommended are available in. None of the pet shops here sell that brand, and the only non-clumping litter I can find are wood pellets, that I personally cannot use, and paper pellets...

Today I tried to introduce my kitten to a new clumping soy litter I wanted her to switch to and placed two handfuls of it in her tray. Almost immediately she went and ate some, or at least I assumed she did. Her head did the same motions as when she's eating. I tried to open her mouth to get it...

@Neo_23 @tarasgirl06 Thank you both :> I will try and get high-protein foods. Sorry for taking so long to reply, things were busy for a bit.

Besides doing the obvious and looking for food labelled for kittens, is there a way to know if a particular adult wet cat food is suitable for a kitten? Not all brands and websites I've seen state if they meet AAFCO for growth, and I have seen food that declared itself meeting AAFCO for...

Thank you everyone for your input. On hindsight, I'm probably getting ahead of myself. Now that I have a clearer picture, all-wet should be fine and I should be able to stay within budget too, so thank you all. I will keep this in mind, thank you. The site I looked at didn't provide a lot of...

Hello everyone, I'm a first-time cat owner and am currently having trouble figuring out a rotation that will stay within budget ($100-$120/month). My main issue is that I just have no idea how much the new kitten will eat. If it goes well, I will be receiving her at 10.5 weeks old due to...
