I started fostering Scarlet (12 year old) in March of this year. By May, we knew we wanted to keep her and adopted her. My bedroom has always been her safe place - she would stay in there 24/7 (I had posted about this before - she didn't want to leave the room, but we would visit her, interact...

Hi all! Quick background: I started fostering Scarlet (front paw declawed, 12 year old calico) in March of this year (2021) - knew nothing of her background or anything else about her. Within a week or two in my home, she would get low to the ground, stick her neck out, and cough the most...

Hi all, I'm new to feline asthma - my foster failure Scarlet (12 years old) just got diagnosed with feline asthma and we just finished a course of Prednisone. That worked wonderfully and now she's not having any asthma attacks....however, I'm guessing we aren't "done" with the issue, only that...

A little background: All new cats to our household start out in my bedroom and slowly transition to the general areas of the house based on their comfort (as in, I let them take the lead). Eventually, everyone wants out (to explore, etc.) and gets introduced to the resident cats and the rest of...

Well I'm back with another vomit thread because.....cats!! Can someone explain to me hairballs, and if your cat has them, have they ever thrown up their ENTIRE DINNER at the same time?? Our 12 year old foster was upstairs in my bedroom, and my husband and son happened to be in there watching...

One of my cats, Tundra, has what I consider to be an EXTREMELY sensitive stomach. I've tried all sorts of wet food, some dry treats, tuna, chicken, broths, etc. She only seems to be able to stomach one particular dry food (everything else she throws up) - and even then, we find vomit all...

We picked up Scarlet to foster 3 weeks ago. She had been riding in a crate for 11 hours, so when we got her, she was understandably upset (hissing and growling). Just a few minutes out of the crate, in the bedroom she's staying in, she started rubbing against us and meowing. All was well...

So I just went into my bedroom where my foster cat is currently staying, and I found her very low to the ground (like stalking mode), but she was coughing: a very dry, bark-like cough (if she were a child, I'd say like croup)....it didn't last very long, and she didn't cough anything up (it...

I'm fostering a 12 year old cat that I just got on Sunday. I have zero clues into her past (diet, etc) - so I placed down both wet and dry food for her to eat. The dry is Purina One brand (I've tried the Healthy Digestion, Senior Cat, Hairball, and Kitten versions - because I have all those on...

Hi there, I'm currently fostering a 12 year old calico cat, I just picked her up on Sunday and don't know a thing about her (except she's up to date on vaccines, and healthy). She's also front paw declawed. I was just curious, do declawed cats have any sort of "common" behaviors due to the...

My 12 year old senior foster/hospice cat LOVES the Tiki Broths and can go through several a day (and more, if I'd let her); got any suggestions for an alternative similar to that, but perhaps less expensive? Thanks!

I've seen mixed messages regarding essential oil diffusing around cats, and I don't have a diffuser right now anyway, but my recent "cat peed in the carrier and on herself" post got me thinking - there's definitely lingering urine smell on her and various places in the bedroom - for an overall...

So I was taking in my 12 year old foster cat in for a check up for the first time since getting her. They told me to bring her in when meds were done, and today was the check up. Well, she peed in the cat carrier on the way home, and now the carrier lining is wet (I wasn't prepared with puppy...

So I've seen a lot of "scratching at the door" posts, mine might be slightly different so I decided to post. I already have the cat in the bedroom with me: she is a 12 year old foster/hospice cat. She's only been with us less than a week, so everything she does is new to us. She stays in our...

I mentioned in a previous post that we are fostering a 12 year old cat with cancer (basically hospice). In the meantime, she has about a week left on some meds that they sent us home with (oral liquid and eye drops). I've medicated cats before (we have 3 resident cats), but have experienced...

Can someone just quickly go over the "warning signs" that cats are being truly aggressive towards each other, or just playing? Thanks!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all staying healthy and safe! I just brought a senior foster cat home yesterday - She currently has a URI, and she also has cancer, so it's basically a hospice situation. I was just looking for a quick food suggestion - she absolutely LOVES the Hartz Delectables...

It was like you see in those "home videos", or on YouTube somewhere -cat freak out! But it definitely isn't funny, it's scary and worrisome! One of the cats got a hold of a plastic Target bag that I had lying around (I literally turned my back for a minute), and she got stuck around the handle...

What do you do when one cat in particular just won't step getting underfoot and you end up stepping on her paws? Ugh! It's so frustrating; I'm so very careful with all the cats - and anyone that has followed my stories here knows that I just lost a kitten due to FUO - but it all started with a...

So in light of my current situation (We had to have our kitty put to sleep earlier today; unknown diagnosis but was super sick for over a week), I'm paranoid about her sister (who we adopted with her, and is still with us). This is about her weight, and food, first and foremost (at least I...
