    Nursing mother of 8 week old kittens has swollen breasts, normal looking milk, unsure what to do

    Me again. Mom cats and kittens have been doing great. Today I noticed all of mom's breasts are swollen, some are a bit red. It seems painful for them to be squeezed. I tried expressing a couple and the milk looked normal. Not sure what to do here, her kittens are weaning themselves (we've never...

    Our batch of former newborn kittens are doing great. They are 4 weeks old now, and we're trying to introduce them to food and litter trays. We gave them this okocat less mess, wood pellet stuff, but it is clumping, which I just read could be a problem if they eat it...

    Newborn kittens and unfriendly mom under my porch. Leave them there or bring them inside?

    Blood in stool from eating human hair?

    First had this issue with my 4 year old cat having blood in her stool over a year ago, you can check my post history for details. Tl;dr, took her to the vet, vets didn't find anything wrong other than possible constipation. Lately it's happened again twice. Each time it looks like there's...

    Cat first time having blood and mucus in poop

    I have a 3 year old cat who just today strained a bit to go poop that had a bit of blood (bright red) and mucus in it. She's indoor, hasn't changed food too recently. Acting normal, full of energy. She left a little, maybe pea sized spot of goo (not sure if mucus or mushy poop) with blood next...
