    Kitten Won’t Stop Playing In Litter Box!

    Hi all, we have a 5 month old adorable little kitty named Pepper. We adopted him at 8 weeks old and from day 1 he’s been completely obsessed with the litter box! He plays in it, digs in it, tosses the litter out on the floor in excessive amounts, rolls in it, and will even lay down in the litter...

    New Kitten And Resident Cat Biting Each Other?

    Hey everyone, I know this is a common topic but I had a few questions. We just adopted our new kitten Pepper exactly 3 weeks ago. He’s 11 weeks old today. Our resident cat Izzy is about a year old. We did our research on introducing a new kitten and did everything as best as we could. Pepper...

    Cat Meows Strangely

    Our 9 month old kitty Isabella didn’t meow at all for the first couple months that we had her. Sometimes she opened her mouth as if she was trying to meow, but no sound came out. Only about a month or two ago did we hear her actually start meowing, but it is still very rare (maybe once a week or...

    Having Trouble Making The Call

    It sounds like it is indeed time for him to go, so rest assured you are doing the right thing, as hard and sad as it is. My thoughts are with you and Bear. It sounds like two had a very special bond and that is something to cherish forever.

    A Gift For You Mommy (spoiler: It's A Dead Roach)

    When I lived in an apartment that had a lot of bugs, out kitty killed a few but we still needed to take other measures to keep the bug population down. In that apartment we constantly had crickets coming inside, and she LOVED stalking and playing with them. I generally tried to save them though...

    Having Trouble Making The Call

    I’m so, so sorry about Bear. I have never made the decision to have a cat euthanized, but I have done so with several other animals and it never gets any easier. A few years back, we had a guinea pig that got really sick. She was not eating at all and had a hard time walking right. For about 2...

    Is The E-collar Necessary?

    I agree, I honestly don’t really feel like it is necessary if she’s not messing with the incision. I’ve left the collar off for almost 24 hours now, keeping a close eye on her and the incision, and she hasn’t been fussing with it at all. In fact, she’s been sleeping pretty much constantly. I...

    Is The E-collar Necessary?

    I’m not asking for permission from anyone to do anything! Just looking for opinions and experiences of others to help me make a decision, since this is the first cat I have ever been responsible for after a spaying. Thank you for your input!

    Is The E-collar Necessary?

    I really like the idea of some kind of clothing to cover the suture location. However I did already look at my local pet stores to find something like that and couldn’t find anything. That’s definitely something I could bring up with my vet and see if she has any suggestions though! Thanks! :)

    Is The E-collar Necessary?

    Just to clarify, she only licked the sutures immediately after I left the collar off for good the last time, which was yesterday afternoon. After I discouraged her from doing it a few times, she hasn’t bothered with it since that I’ve seen, and I’ve kept a very close eye on her. I’ve done some...

    Is The E-collar Necessary?

    Hi everyone. Our 9 month old kitty Isabella was spayed two days ago. We were given an E-collar when we picked her up the next day after surgery, and were told to put it on her immediately after getting home. She DESPISES it. When it’s on, she runs all over the house, rolling around and trying...
