I have one cat who's more high maintenance than the other, but I do believe both of them are using this corner.

I have one who uses a covered box and one who uses an uncovered one. They also prefer different types of litter and I cater to that.

Daily. There are two litter boxes that are cleaned once a day. I do know they each use their "own" box.

Well the title says it all. They are peeing and occasionally pooping out of their boxes in the same corner of the same room. They never go outside the box anywhere else. Here's the problem: I just spent a small fortune ripping the carpet out of that room, painting the subfloor/walls with odor...

A little bit of an update: Milky appears to be feeling better and acting better. She's been letting me give her loves, but still won't be picked up. She has been giving my LO warning meows now instead of instantly batting and hissing, so I'm able to work with my kids about gentle hands. Here's...

I made new kitty (coco) her own space and gave them lots of time to get to know each other's scent, and then gave them supervised time. I thought I did everything right. Older kitty (Milky) has always been sort of sensitive. I didn't take in coco because I wanted another cat, she was found...

She used to be the sweetest cat and now she won't let me pick her up :/. Unfortunately I can't take her in for a wellness check for several more months due to lack of funds. Any tips in the meantime? Aggression is her only symptom. She even still likes to be around us, she just won't come up to...

I did, she said that it was most likely because they needed to be spayed. I'm kind of concerned that she's in pain so I called the vet yesterday, and after sending pictures over to her of her spay incision (I'm snowed in) she said that it looked like it was healing fine and she wasn't worried.

MOD NOTE: merged :) I have 2 cats, one is 2yo and one is 8mo. We rescued the 8mo 4 months ago, and ever since then the older cat has been getting meaner and meaner. I got them both spayed last week, and she still is mean. She attacks the other cat, and just this morning she hissed and batted at...

I have two cats, a 2yo female and a 6mo female. The 2yo is getting more and more aggressive. Recently she had to be treated for fleas and worms (again) and after that she has been a nightmare. I can't get within a foot of her without her hissing at me. I have an 18 month old daughter and I'm...

My husband is going to go to the farm store on his way home and see what they have. I do have some borax on hand I'm going to sprinkle the house with tonight and vacuum up in the morning. I don't really like leaving things on the carpet and furniture like that because my kids are small but it's...

I'm going to ask my vet if I can do a payment plan, I hope they say yes. I don't know how bad the infestation is, I'm going to try Frontline instead and buy a stronger home treatment I guess. This situation has made it very clear to me that I can't keep the second kitten. She's really sweet and...

Also adding, I have a dog who I rescued 4 years ago. I paid for his neuter, flea medicine, vaccines, and monthly grooming for a while. Unfortunately when I got laid off from my job they didn't throw in an animal care severance.
