Hello everyone, Let me start this by explaining that I'm an action figure collector as much as I am a cat lover, they are my 2 favorite things in the world. My office is my collection room and where I work 8 hours of the day, but also where I spend most of my time doing different hobbies - in...

So a very common issue with kitties I supposed, but my case is not very dramatic (i.e. she's not really that interested with electric cords... yet). I had to exclude any fishing pole type toys as she'll just chew right through the string. She likes to eviscerate or rip parts of her mice toys as...

Hello everyone, In an effort to reduce my 3 cats environmental footprint, I switched some time ago to an eco-friendly litter (Ecolife by Intersand) which uses wheat and corn residue. I also used another one briefly that was essentially pine sawdust. Both have the advantage of being extremely...

Back in February, I adopted 2 female kittens from a shelter, both 5-6 months. This is on top of the 14 year old I already have living with me. It's been a little bit over a month now and I've noticed one of the kitties *never* meows or thrills or squeaks like the other one does. I cannot recall...

I've made another thread a little while back (link here) about a very similar subject, and the situation hasn't really improved. My CKD cat spontaneously started refusing to eat his vet prescribed wet and dry food (maybe because of depression?), only eating a bite or two and leaving the rest to...

For a few months now (but notably more frequent in the last couple of weeks), my cat have these odd head tremors where he seemingly loses control of his facial/head muscles for a fraction of a second (see video at the link below). At first I thought nothing of it until I read it may be caused by...

It's been a pretty rough time for me as of late with the passing of my younger kitty, but also with the health of my senior cat, Mitaine. He is in late stage 3 CKD and has been loosing weight consistantly for the past 6 months. I saw the vet recently and his bloodwork looked stable for the most...

My 4 years old died today very suddenly. One minute he's being his mischievious self, the next he is collapsing on his side and meowing distressfully. I rush to him to see what's going on and very quickly he appears to be gasping for air and then just goes completely limp and unresponsive. My...

Hey guys, I need some advice. My youngest kitty (3 1/2 years old) has this habit of scooting his behind on some of the carpety surfaces in my home for quite a few months, possibly more than a year, now. When I took him to the vet last time for his vaccine renewal, I mentioned this to him and...

This is more curiosity than it is a real behavioral problem I think. I've never encountered a kitty that did this before and was wondering what it could mean. This usually happens more when I'm laid down on my bed, if my kitty finds exposed skin (arms, legs, belly), he'll gently lick the skin...

I have a few questions about CKD because I keep hearing contradictory informations about it, or rather, the diet a kitty should be on to live longer with this illness. My senior kitty, Mitaine (Mittens), now 11 years old, was diagnosed with stage 1 (or early stage 2, I forgot which) CKD 2 years...

Recently, I noticed my senior cat had an odd black lump in front of his pupil which can only be seen from the side. I managed to take a picture of it. I have no freakin' clue what it is, or if it hinders my cat's sight. Any ideas? Should I worry?

Hello friends!! Do you ever have dreams (or nightmares) that have cats in them? I have these recurring dreams of cats and kittens in dire need of rescuing and me just absolutely failing to do anything about it. Like, I'll be gathering the cats in one place and one will have gone missing, then...

Hello everyone! I'm sorry if this been discussed before, I couldn't figure out how to search the forums. I know most cats are lactose intolerant, but I've always feed my 10 years old cat with some milk as a treat nearly all his life and he never appeared to be bothered by it - no soft stool, no...

Anyone here uses these types of bowls? I've been meaning to get one but I'm not sure what would work best for my cats. My youngest kitty Loki eats his kibbles often too fast and vomits almost immediatly after. In the last couple of weeks he's also become quite gluttonous as well and will eat his...

Hello everyone, I need your help! 6-7 years ago I rescued a sad, emaciated, tick-ridden kitten that had been heartlessly abandoned in the streets in a cold December. My parents ended up adopting her, which I couldn't have been happier with, however over the years, she has taken far too much...

Yesterday I took my one year old Loki to the vet because I had found some scabs on the footpads of his left back paw. I had noticed brown crusts on that particular paw a couple of days prior but simply assumed he had accidently walked in his poop or something and that he would clean himself...

Loki is growing up so fast! 3 1/2 months old... 10 1/2 months old... I love is eye color... Is it amber/ochre or yellow? It looks more yellow in the last picture, but looking at him in real life it seems to have a tinge of orange in it.

Hello guys, I noticed something odd with my little Loki. He's 7-ish months old now and was neutered back in December. The other day while petting him I noticed he had some white-ish dried substance around his sheath, which I thought was strange. He then decided to lick himself clean, rendering...

Hello again! I'm having some difficulties teaching my 7 month old Loki that the nail clipper and grooming brush aren't toys... Whenever I want to trim his claws he just tries to grab it, chew on it, etc, and completely block my view of what I'm doing, which is not something you want while...
