I knew I shouldn't have jinxed it. Dexter has marked twice today. Once at his regular time in the morning, regular spot under my bedroom window. And then just now, again in the same spot, not too long after I had a great cuddle session with both him and Buddy. He had also just been on the...

So I don't want to jinx it because it's still 2 hours until midnight but...so far, so good! NO MARKING! I remembered that Dexter also lounges high up above my bedroom window on top of my bookshelf but I'm still going to buy window perches. I'm looking at those "Sunny Side" suction cup perches...

@CalicosRSpecial   I live on the second floor of a walk-up apartment building and both cats have access to the balcony during the spring/summer/fall. The neighbours below me have 2 dogs but they've been here since I first moved in and that wasn't an issue. I did just notice that in the building...

They've both been vet-checked for urinary and other health problems recently as well as in the past when the marking first started. I've ordered a UV light to see if my enzymatic cleaner is working but short of this, I don't know what else to do if it continues. There has to be a way to make...

Hey guys,  I've had my one cat, Dexter for the last 5 years and I foster-failed with my other cat, Buddy, 2 years ago. While they have little fights here and there, and have been known to mark some spots in the past, they now seem to be in a full-out war this past month and I've been going...

So sorry Zuli, sending love and light your way. I did end up getting a full blood profile done which lead to the looks of a viral infection or toxin that needs to be flushed out. After talking to vet at length, he pointed out that with the timing of Buddy's vomiting yesterday, it's likely that...

Just read your response to my post about Buddy and thought I'd come see more of Benny's experience. I 110% agree with you about feeling exhausted from trying to be the perfect pet parent with the never ending barriers and conflicting advice. My biggest fear is that one of my decisions, as simple...

Hey everyone,  My 4yo Maine Coon cross, Buddy, has been throwing up bile since Saturday. It started with a hairball and hasn't stopped with the bile. Loose stool Sunday. Diarrhea started on Monday. All the while he was behaving normally and playing, appetite lacking, didn't seem to be drinking...

I tried 3 different baby foods, he liked zero but his brother liked all 3 haha. Go figure. I syringe fed him 6ml of the Chicken and Broth flavour just to see if he could keep it down and he did. So I went to the emergency vet and bought 2 cans of the AD, managed to syringe feed him about 1 and a...

Thanks Ruth! Both take-home meds I was given are pill form. He only gave him one Cerenia shot during the visit. And, yes Buddy's stool was a little soft yesterday, then this morning there was diarrhea but if it is going to irritate his stomach more, I don't understand why it would be given...

Hey everyone,  I'm brand new here so please excuse any post naivety. I've googled many things about my cats over the last 2 years and your forum has consistently popped up with awesome insight so I finally thought I'd join.  My question is for my little guy Buddy, neutered, Maine Coon cross. He...
