Was going to say the same- like in a human, when boogers/mucus are a color like green or yellow it usually means an infection and a trip to the doctors is necessary.
As for your vet not giving the attention you desire, are there other vets in the area that you can try out?
So I just have 1 kitty - Sasha. She will be 1 in May. She is very very shy around strangers. If I have company over, she will run and hide until they leave but as soon as they do, she comes out and is fine with me. For that reason, I think a petsitter wouldn't be great because she wouldn't...
Has anyone ever rented a house for a week and brought their cat with them? I don't live too far from the Jersey Shore and was thinking of renting a house for a week and taking the kitty with me. Would love to hear others experiences if you've done this?
I've had Sasha for like 5 months now and use Fresh Step... and my my lawd the dust!!! The bathroom is always covered in a layer of dust no matter how much I clean. And she manages to get it EVERYWHERE. It's all over the house. I just bought the new one that's "no tracking" or whatever and...
I forgot to give you all an update. I had a rather large hard plastic tray and started to use that. She still does the "bury" thing but since it's one large piece, it doesn't/can't move. Problem solved! Thanks all!
Don't take it personally. Cats have emotions but they aren't the same as humans. When I got Sasha, I didn't know what to expect. I picked her because she was shy and hiding and I felt like no one would adopt her over the fun and playful kittens in the room that she was scared of. She ignored...
How old is the kitten? Sasha was eating Fancy Feast kitten formula from 6 months when I got her to about 9-10 months when she just stopped liking it... of course after I bought like 2 cases of the stuff! I bought a few other of the regular Fancy Feast flavors to see if she was just being...
I've only had her about 3 months and she's always done this but over time the burying kind of got more aggressive and with that the mat flipping came. She doesn't do this ALL the time, though. As for food, she's been rather picky. She was on a steady diet of fancy feast kitten - the turkey...
Oh wow, I have just the thing! I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thanks, I'm going to give it a try!
Any other suggestions/recommendations are still welcome! :)
So Sasha likes to "bury" her food even though she's not done. Sometimes she's just done for now and sometimes she tries to "bury" it and goes right back to eating it! I have a silicon mat to protect the floor but it's kind of small and when she tries to "bury" the food, she tries to use the...
Yikes, I need to do the whole cat burrito thing to trim Sasha's nails. She doesn't like her paws touched and does not sit in my lap and she usually wakes up when I approach her while she's sleeping. So I lure her into the bathroom with treats, get her burrito'ed up, and quickly cut her nails...
A little behind you but I searched for 'shedding' today because Sasha is start to shed really bad. I was giving her a scratch and gave her hair a little light tug and so much hair came out! She's been itchy because of dry skin. Today she let me pull at her hair for like 20 minutes and I ended...
Hi all - winter has set in and I noticed my 8 month old Sasha scratching a lot around her neck where her collar is. She has her monthly flea/tick medication and I inspected where she's been scratching and found nothing. I am assuming it's dry skin from the weather and the heating system for...
Hi all - yesterday Sasha got me really good, a pretty deep puncture with her claw on my finger. Today it's a bit swollen. I thought I had cleaned it up really well but I guess not. Does anyone have suggestions on how to treat scratches on the human? haha
thanks in advance
I keep checking back here because I have the same situation. Sasha is 7 months old, I have a pre-lit artificial tree. I put the tree up and plugged in the lights and left it like that for a few days. Of course the lights are off when I am not home. If she went near it I just yelled and she...
Olives are not highly poisonous to cats... where did you get that from? Not that you should feed your cat a diet of olives, but if they eat one, they aren't going to die. Olives have a catnip-like ingredient in them that some cats seem to love. Plenty of people feed their cats olives...
She doesn't get unlimited dry food. I measure it out. But that is def. the difference.
@TBTF If you're not against dry food, maybe try working a little bit of that into your routine. People here tend to go on and on about wet food and while yes, it's very good, that doesn't make dry food...
I read things like this and it boggles my mind. When I adopted Sasha a month ago the shelter told me what she was eating - fancy feast kitten and dry kitten food. She is 7 months now and gets only 1/4 a 3 oz can in the morning and 1/4 can at night. I add a little water each time because she...
