    Cat won’t poop in litter box!

    I know you have multiple boxes, but are they all about the same standard size, area wise? It could be that she just wants more space around her to poop. Using a large storage bin made a big difference for me with a cat that had litter box issues, because the standard litter box size was just...

    vet gave us gabapentin for future vet visits and i'm skeptical.

    I had gabapentin for my cat. She had it for pain, but the vet had also suggested that giving her an extra dose before coming in would keep her calmer. She wasn't difficult for the vet to work with but she was always very scared, shaking and hiding. Both the vet and I wanted to make the visit...

    Dome litter box vs Large Cat?

    I also had this problem with my cat, she just would not put her bum down. After trying all sorts of different boxes and even taping garbage bags to the wall so it would run down into the box, which was a pain to set up and clean, I started using a large, clear storage bin. When she was younger...

    Shy cat adjustment issues

    I just wanted to thank everyone again for the advice and provide an update. I took her to my vet to have them examine her as well as clip her nails and deal with her matted fur. They ended up shaving her and also found out that she was constipated and likely very uncomfortable. I feel dumb for...

    Shy cat adjustment issues

    Since she won't eat in front of me most of the time (and I can't just stay there forever all the time), should I just wait a few minutes and then take it away if she doesn't come out to eat it and try again later? It seems like putting it down and then going away when she won't come out kind of...

    Shy cat adjustment issues

    thank you! she explored the lower floor while I slept (she leaves fur everywhere she goes so I can tell) last night for the first time I think. She spent all day today under the futon while I worked but did eat her food while I was in the room which is a positive change over the last week where...

    Shy cat adjustment issues

    Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it! She is around 5 or 6 years old. I will take away the dry food and just provide food on a schedule. She now does have the option of the whole house, as I started leaving the door open when the weather got hotter. She sneaks out to one other hiding...

    Shy cat adjustment issues

    I recently adopted a cat. The human society wasn't sure whether she was born feral or abandoned young, referring to her as very shy or "semi-feral". I know this will take a lot of time and I'm willing to put in the work however I was hoping for advice. This is the first cat I've had that wasn't...
