    Cats penis not retracting back inside?

    Hi, My neutered, 10.5 year old cat has got a penis issue. A couple of times in the last few days I've seen his penis when he has been washing. This was odd to me as I haven't seen before and we've had him for ten years. I saw it again a couple of hours ago today and a moment ago I picked him...

    1st Stage Kidney Disease Diagnosed - Anyone understand blood work results?

    Hi, So my previous post about my cat being diagnosed with lumbosacral disease has shown up this kidney issue. We had the blood work done and they said that he was a very healthy cat. Which is the only reason that I agreed to giving him metacam for the lumbosacral disease. Another test has...

    Lumbosacral Disease

    Hi, Thank you 128578 They said that it could be a nerve and he needs rest. He has slept a lot today, so resting is good. I gave him metacam too and he isn't limping but being very careful when he walks. I'm a bit worried if it's the metacam that's making him so sleepy. I hope that he can...

    Lumbosacral Disease

    Hi, My cat is a 10 year old neutered male and he goes outside. In the past 6 months we have had about four occasions when he has come inside and not been himself. Last Sunday he came in and he was visibly limping, could hardly walk a step without collapsing and he was meowing and hissing in...

    Trimming Claws by Yourself

    I'm too scared to trim my cats claws in case I cut the quick. He had it done at the vets once. He doesn't seem to have any issues with his claws so I haven't done anything with them. Is it okay not to trim them?

    Agressive and scarred cat

    After the surgery it could be that she was still feeling the affects of the anaesthetic as it can take a while to wear off. When you go away for a while, you don't smell like home anymore, so it may be that she didn't recognise you straight away. She still wants to be close and lay next to...

    Which brushes does everyone prefer?

    I use the furminator for my kitty and he is a semi long hair. I like the way that this isn't harsh metal prongs like some are and it gets quite a bit of loose furr out. I would be interested in other recommendations as although I groom him, he still gets hair balls. Maybe I'm not grooming him...

    Taking my cat to the vet for the first time...any advice?

    I got my kitty when he was six months old and from a shelter, bless him. Mine had cat flu and I was medicating him as soon as I got him and I was little worried that he would hate me but he doesn't 128571 My cat is used to just having me and my boyfriend around so he can be quite shy with other...

    Why does my sister's cat hate me soooo much??????

    I would just ignore him, don't try to approach him. Cats can see direct eye contact as aggression so try not to look at him too much. After a little time, he may come to you, once he has got used to you Try not to take it personally, it's just his way of sussing you out and trusting you...

    Agressive and scarred cat

    That sounds like stress behaviour. To be neutralised, bathed and taken off the litter when she needed to use it was probably very stressful for her and all in quite a short space of time. She may also have still been in pain after the surgery when you bathed her and just bathing a cat is...
