I am not quite clear on what you are seeing so let's see if I get this right. Cat has been home for two days and this is what is happening:  - drooling - not eating or drinking - not urinating or defecating - sleeping lots My guess is he is injured maybe around his face and the smell may be...

I have not doubt you made the correct decision. This was a question of quality and not wanting the little fuzzy one to feel more pain and fear, which was becoming inevitable. That is what good pet parents do, no matter how hard it is on us. I totally understand the feeling or worry that he may...

Thanks for the responses gang. They have both been in carriers to get back and forth to the vets and they both meow but no panicking. Sounds like this might work.

Hi, was just wondering whether anyone has tried moving cats back and forth between two homes regularly? I will need to take a job out of town and my husband will stay in our original home. The plan would be for the cats to live with me but I would take them home when I am there for extended...

OK. My first guess would be that she is no longer happy with her usually outdoor potty place. She is now feeling safer to go indoors (or holding it until she can't any longer and must go indoors). It sound like there is also something she is not liking about the indoor litter setup. I would...

Ya, introducing the new cats was a bad idea knowing your existing little feline didn't like other cats. In addition, the new male sounds quite aggressive (at least towards her). There are some good resources on how to introduce cats so you may want to try that, if you can keep her safe. Who...

Just a few questions. Has she ever used the indoor litter to poop before? Do you know where she poops outside and has anything changed in that location?

Could she simply have jumped off something and hurt her paw or something else?

Wow, that is pretty darn hot. I would be more worried about the dog. My cats like to lay right in front of the wood stove. I swear they are trying to cook themselves! There are lots of cooler places and they just move after a while. Are there cool locations in the house? If so, maybe put some...

I missed the weird breathing. If she aspirated water into her lungs she is in big trouble. Get her to a vet ASAP!

I suggest you ask your boyfriend a few more questions as this seems a bit odd. If all he did was bathe the cat, maybe it aspirated some water? That is very dangerous.

One of my male cats also did this when he was about 15 onward. I also found he was sleeping much more soundly. I could actually pick him up and he kept right on sleeping. He lived to be about 18.

OK, just an update. I took Pooh (the lovely cat in question) to the groomers and they gave her a sanitary shave so very little fur on her bum and down her legs. This morning, she still had urine and kitty litter on bum. Sigh. she must be almost sitting in it when she urinates. This is really...

Sadly, my post was premature. Still getting pee all over herself
