My boy (neutered) is about to turn 1! He's gotten a lot of spunk in his personality as he's grown up, which sometimes crosses the line into aggression. Last night, he and I were sitting in a window watching a big storm roll in. He was a little squirrelly (maybe anxious about the storm?), but...

Hi! My boy's about to turn 1, and when he was a kitten he got diagnosed with feline coronavirus, and when he was a baby/before I adopted him, he was treated for a URI (which he was recovering from a little when I did get him). He was a rescue from a store/rescue hybrid that had like 20 cats...

Thanks for the fast reply :D It looks like it's healing okay, and he's been running around and playing as much as usual. Is it okay to leave it as is, or do cats benefit from things like neosporin like we do? I never knew they got callouses there! I did check his other foot and there is a spot...

Sorry, not sure if I should post this in the original post or if this is ok to be separate, but he does also have what looks like a callous on the bottom of his foot on the same leg..?

My kiddo is rambunctious and about a year old now. He was just laying down next to me and I noticed something in his fur, and then saw that it looked like a long scab. This is around where his knee is, I think, on his back left leg (just below the knee where the leg angles back, on the front of...

My cat knocked everything, literally everything, off of two bookshelves (not books, stuff) while I was out of the apartment, but he even does this when I am home. He especially does this at night when I'm trying to sleep. Some of this stuff is like, important and fragile. He will reach very...

My boy is almost 8 months old, and he was treated for giardia in January that he had had, but his adoption center and the vet hadn't picked up on since essentially November when he was adopted. His diarrhea from this mostly went away, it took a bit for the mucous to go away from his poo. But...

A few months ago, my cat was treated for giardia, which was also giving him diarrhea. They had given him medication to help with diarrhea previously, but I believe NOT with giardia. They put him on something for giardia, as well as the same medication to balance out the flora in his tummy, and...

I have a shorthair kitten who had worms for a while, but after being on medication his poops seem to generally be back to normal. Every once in a while there'll be a sliiiightly messier poop, but 99% of them are regular "logs."  His actual butthole is not covered by fur at all, and there's a...

Of the cats you've known to have corona, is corona a chronic thing, a virus he'll always have his whole life, or does it go away over time? 

Whew, this is very comforting thank you!  Should I be worried about taking him out of town for the holidays // risking exposing the other cat?  Is there any legitimacy to stress potentially triggering mutation? Even if I don't take him with me for the holiday, I'll be moving in June/July, and...

He was a rescue through a locally owned pet store. But, there were a TON of cats there all roaming around the store together, so it may very well be that. 

My cat was just diagnosed with feline coronavirus. Upon researching here, it seems like I shouldn't necessarily be panicking and that he will likely be alright. He does show symptoms, though: he sneezes, he has eye discharge, he has diarrhea which has also been attributed to giardia, which he's...

I've seen a lot of threads asking about cats with long hair or big bellies who have issues cleaning their butts, but I was just wondering what I can do to start teaching my ~5 month old kitten some better bum hygiene. He had some issues with diarrhea that seem to be being resolved (waiting on...

So, in a previous thread I'd mentioned my young kitten (he's nearly 5 months!) has had some wheezing issues that really, really seems like it's cat asthma. He had a URI that was treated prior to me adopting him, and still sneezes  daily, has some eye discharge, and had what really seemed like an...
