    Does X-ray usually require sedation?

    My female cat pen pen was throwing up this this morning and looked very sick. It raised red flag when she failed jumping on a table and was not interested in her favorite treat. She is super athletic and she is crazy for Benito flake (usually come running from 2nd floor if she hears when I open...

    Unneutered foster cat is driving me crazy...

    We brought back our first foster cat about two weeks ago. He is a unneutered 2-year old male cat. We have separated him in our home office from our three resident cats. He is a super sweet and like to snuggle. We were even considering taking him in. But he has been spraying everywhere and jeez...

    Foster cat does not groom himself

    I just started fostering a male cat that's about 2 year's old. He was abandoned at the shelter, still under the process of vaccination and waiting to be neutered. His coat is oily, dusty, and I can feel scab under his fur. He keeps shedding some clumps of furs with scab at the end. I only got...

    Can I use other meat in a raw chicken recipe?

    This is my first time making food for my cats. In the past year I've been feeding them commercial raw plus canned, and some freeze dried raw. But lately I was disappointed with the raw food I got - very expensive and some of the bags are spoiled. I want to start to make food so I can control the...

    Introducing anxious dog to resident cats

    My husband just adopted a dog Freya. She is a Husky Pit bull mix that’s 2 year old. I was on board because she looked very mellow at the shelter and she doesn’t bark. The shelter told me she’s fine with cats because she’s afraid of them. But after adoption, I leaned that Husky has high prey...

    I caused my cats' upset stomach and now they're throwing up food

    Last Friday I fed my cats with some leftover roast chicken (I stored them in freezer in small bags and thaw them later). My little girl Pen Pen loves it the most so I did a terrible thing by giving her a few more bites. The chicken must have gone bad because a hours after, all my cats had...

    I have three cats. Loki and Pen Pen are a little over 1 year old. They are from the same litter and I've had them since Last November. I recently Adopted Ash, 6 months old. Loki and Pen Pen were bonded and that's why I adopted them both together. Pen Pen is the smallest from the litter (8...

    Watery eyes with discharge

    We just adopted a 6-month old kitten from a shelter (somehow I felt that he was younger than that, but there's no proof). The vet record looked fine but I didn't see deworming on it. I tried to schedule a wellness check-up with my vet, but unfortunately they're moving offices and cannot see him...

    Not sure if I applied flea treatment properly

    I just took both of my cats out in the backyard on leash to have some fun. Once we came back, I applied Revolution on both of their necks for flea prevention. It's my first time to apply flea medicine and I think I might have done it wrong. I did try to part their fur when I applied the tube in...

    What litter I should prepare for the new kitten?

    I just adopted a 6-month old kitten. I have two cats at home and both of them use grass seed litter (it took them a long time to transform from clay to a healthier litter). I prepared the same litter with a layer of clumping clay on top for the new kitten. He tried to dig the litter but didn't...

    How to get the cats out from hiding

    We’re moving from one Airbnb to another Airbnb due to house renovation. Because there is a few hours gap between check in and check out, I decided to temporarily put my cats in the kitchen at my new house. I cleaned up and blocked the kitchen for them because the rest of the house is super...

    Should I cancel my summer trip? (right after moving with young cats)

    I don't feel like traveling anymore after adopting my two cats last October. I used to travel extensively but everything changed since last year. My life is so much happier after adopting 6-month's old Loki and Pen Pen. This year I have a business trip to Alaska coming up in August (I'm fully...

    Any recommended clamping natural litter?

    I've been using Fresh Step Unscented (clumping clay) since I adopted my cats 6 months ago, because it was the type used at their froster home. Lately I've been trying to switch to a natural clumping litter because the clay one is so dusty and I'm afraid it's not good for their health. So far...

    How to contain my cats on the second floor during renovation

    We'll be moving with our cat Loki and Pen Pen in two months into our new home. Due to all kinds of delays, we couldn't finish all the renovation before moving in. I'm very stressed because the renovation sites might be unsafe for them and cause problems. By the time we move, the second floor...

    Should I take my cats outside?

    We just relocated to a temporary airbnb from our apartment with our cats Loki and Pen Pen while renovating an old house we just bought. While the pandemic is going on, it's almost impossible to find a pet-friendly place that's affordable, so we ended up moving into this tiny studio that's...

    I adopted Pen Pen about 4 months ago and she's now turning 9 months old. She has been littered train at the time I adopted her and has been using litter box without any issues since day one. I have two kittens and two litter boxes at home. I scoop the litter box twice per day, and dump the...

    Cat's lower lip is red and swollen

    For the past 2 days ago my boy Loki's lower lip has been red and today it's a bit swollen. Other than that, he's completely healthy, eating and playing as usual. We can pet him just fine, even rubbing his face and side lips, so I don't think he's in pain. I've read a few threads from this forum...

    My cat is very vocal. I cannot figure him out...

    My cat Loki is 8-month old and he constantly makes all kinds of sound, mostly trills, or something between a trill and meow, and all kinds of other sounds. It's not because of food, water, litter box, or illness (I just had him checked up 2 weeks ago). When he wants to play or pet, it's usually...

    Two 7-month old kittens from the same litter, one is too skinny and one is getting chunky...

    We just adopted a pair of 6-month old kittens, Loki and Pen Pen, from the same litter 1 month ago. Lately I noticed Loki (brother, the black cat) is getting a bit chubby. When I adopted them, the shelter said the boy was the biggest one from the litter and will probably grow to 13 to 15 lbs...
