One of their litterboxes is in the bathroom, so keeping them out of their unfortunately isn't an option. I'll be keeping the towels elsewhere temporarily, though. Thankfully haven't experienced him doing this with any of my clothes, though I live alone and don't leave piles anywhere.

Unfortunately, I've tried almost everything re: his wet food! I've tried splitting it up into two portions (morning and night), but he still throws a tantrum wanting wet food at 4 AM. And I'm already using unscented, haha. Sorry to ruin the theory! Still appreciate the advice, though!

Hi all, I have two cats, but I'm pretty sure this is about one in particular (Lupin). Lupin is almost two years old and he's been neutered since he was a young kitten. However, he's had some aggression/behavior issues for a while. He improved a lot when I got a second cat (when he was about six...

It does seem to be one general spot, yeah, though he did this at my last apartment, so I think it's a pattern. Is there a particular cleaner you're recommend?

It won't just teach him that carpet is okay to scratch in general? I'm worried that he'll just learn to associate carpet with scratching if I let him know a spot of carpet is "okay" to scratch.

Thanks, but these are the carpet rollers I mentioned in my original post. They worked as a temporary solution, but I really don't want these covering my carpet permanently.

As a side note, I've taken him to the vet just to rule out any sort of health problems, and his exam + bloodwork were both normal. I just got a shrug and "cats are like that."

I have two cats: a one-year-old named Lupin and a 10-month-old named Taro. Ever since Lupin was a kitten, he loved scratching carpet. He has tons of energy in general; I never saw myself getting two cats, but his play aggression got pretty bad as he got older, so I ended up adopting Taro when...

I have a six-month-old kitten who's only just now becoming snuggly and affectionate! For the first few months I had him, all he wanted to do was play and had zero interest in cuddling. Now he loves sleeping on me and getting petted. He's still playful of course, but there's a noticeable...

I think I'm just worried because it's almost like the URI symptoms have subsided? He was sneezing a lot, but the sneezing stopped yesterday and now he's just really lethargic/low appetite.

I appreciate that, but does anyone have thoughts on how likely this is to be FIP vs. a URI? That's my main concern.

They didn't want to prescribe him antibiotics—the vet said she only did that if there was abnormally colored discharge.

Hi all. I have a four-month old kitten (male/neutered/american short hair) who I adopted two months ago. He was a little sneezy when I got him, but it was pretty sporadic. About two weeks ago, I noticed he was sneezing a lot more, so I brought that up when I took him for his rabies shot. They...

Hi all! I'm fostering a very sweet two-year-old cat who recently has polyps removed from her right ear. However, I noticed she has strange black patches both behind her left ear (which wasn't affected by the polyps!) and at the bottom of the inside of her right ear (a much smaller patch). The...

Hey! Sorry if this is a bit gross, but I actually took a picture of the clump. My handle is pretty huge (I used to have a 18-lb cat), but hopefully you can get a vague idea from the size of my thumb at the bottom: I'm honestly not sure how small that is? All his pee clumps have been around...
