    Cat strains but still poops?

    I’ve noticed the last two times I saw Pepper poop, he sort of strains a bit- let me explain. The first time, he went into the box and dug a hole and then was able to poop one log immediately, but then he stayed in the position to poop and did 5-6 poop-jerk motions after as if he wanted to poop...

    Alcohol?

    I was drinking this beer tasting soda, and turns out it’s got (0.6%~1.0%) vol of alcohol. I was distracted and my cat was walking around on my desk- if he were to lap a bit from the top of the can- even though the alcohol is low, can that much hurt my cat if he were to have licked the top of the...

    Smelly cat poop?

    My cat is male, neutered, and 2 years old I feel like his poop has always been very smelly, not in an unusually foul way, but just very pungently "poopy". The poop smell is strong, and often the whole bathroom smells like pure poop for a bit. His poops seem pretty normal in consistency and...

    Cat destroyed a treat tube

    My cat somehow got a hold of his lick-able treat tube and completely destroyed it while I wasn’t in the room, can’t find the other parts of the plastic. It was a Catit Creamy Treats. I’m keeping an eye on his behaviour and his litter box- nothing at the moment, but I’m just worried about if the...

    Cat possibly ate expired dog food?

    We had some expired dry dog food we completely forgot about and was about to dispose of it, looked the other way for a few minutes and my cat had managed to scratch a few holes into the bag. It didn’t seem like any got out and spilled on to the ground, and I didn’t hear him eat anything. The...

    Anyone else have a cat that has larger shoulder blades?

    I read somewhere that you aren’t supposed to see a cats shoulder bones if they’re at a healthy weight, but when my cat walks, I see his shoulder blades move up and down as he walks, and when he sits, they stick up like this- is that normal?

    Cat gums

    Pepper is 2 years old, male, and neutered I’ve noticed him sometimes tilt his head and chew on the side while eating his food and didn’t think it was much until I did some researching on dental disease in cats. He has that side chewing thing, drops food sometimes (recently has been more...

    Stupid question- can humans transfer cat diseases?

    Hello, This question is really stupid but I’m just paranoid and overthinking- can humans pick up cat diseases (FIV, FelV, etc) from cats and carry it and spread it to other cats? There was a cat at my local small pet store that I petted and played with and I’m worried at any chance that it...

    Cat not as excited for food ?

    My cat usually is food motivated and would fly down in seconds when the food bag shakes. He used to meow a lot during dinner time for dinner. Recently, I feel like he isn’t as excited, he’s still excited but doesn’t meow during dinner time and beg to be fed like he used to, but still runs down...

    Cat eating, and then walking away to sit, and then coming back to finish?

    Exactly like the title, he meows happily for dinner, and is excited for food, starts eating maybe a 3rd of it, and then walks away to his favourite sitting spot to lick and clean his fur a bit, and then will walk back and eat again, taking another few bites, and then the cycle repeats until he...

    cologne?

    I’m pretty frequent here, I get super paranoid about my kitty. My partner (doesn’t live with me) sometimes wears cologne, the “CK one” specifically. He doesn’t douse himself in it, usually just a spray or two on his neck and that’s it, he had come over a few times, and I can’t remember if he...

    Not sure if this is cat vomit

    Pepper is 2 years, male, neutered I recently came across this yellow looking stain and I’m not sure if it is cat vomit. It’s completely dried up and doesn’t seem to be too recent, and is faint. Otherwise, he doesn’t have any symptoms, haven’t noticed a stain/vomit else where. If it IS cat...

    Breathing rate?

    Pepper is 2 years old, male, and neutered I’ve noticed that sometimes when he’s resting and laying down, his breathing will go fast for a few seconds, and then he’d go back to normal- 33 breaths a minute when he did do the rapid breathing for 3-4 seconds, and when it was completely normal, 25...

    Weird smell?

    So we were doing house renovations a few weeks back, and we put our cat in his carrier once for 2-3 hours just because there was no other way to keep him temporarily as we didn’t want him to get into the house renovation mess. I didn’t notice much at that time, but recently there has been a...
