Hello all! You may have seen my thread that my awesome cat, Freddie, has unfortunately been diagnosed with kidney disease at a young age. I'm doing the best I can, but he only likes the Royal Canin Loaf out of all the foods I've tried so far (Hill's, Purina, Royal Canin), and he's getting bored...

(TL; DR: My young cat is sick and I'm feeling really overwhelmed and frustrated and exhausted.) Hey all! It's been almost three years since my beloved cat passed away from what was likely a brain tumor. He was only five. We didn't know what it was, so I spent almost a year trying to figure out...

Hello all! Thanks in advance for the advice. My cat's butt tends to look dirty a lot, although I'm not sure if it's anal glands or poop. He occasionally has some really dry poops (but is getting miralax in his wet food so it looks good most of the time). He has some smudges of dark brown that...

So this is about my parents' cat, Toby. He's 17, and they just can't really get him to eat. He's lost a lot of weight. He seems to be nauseous and without appetite, but no one knows why. He's had x-rays, bloodwork, and everything has come back normal. Mirataz used to stimulate his appetite, but...

Hey everyone. My poor cat, Guapo, ended up hospitalized a couple of weeks ago due to a urinary blockage. It was likely a combination of diet and stress. I love and trust my vet, but was wondering if people who have had personal experience with this with had thoughts as well. So, Guapo lived...

Please no harsh criticism for this... I always did what I thought was best for my cats and they seemed healthy. I want to make sure I'm doing alright by my kitties always, and am willing to adjust intake accordingly. Both are/were under 5, and neutered males, with natural balance wet food as...

Hi everyone. My cat and I have had a terrible year. He's prone to getting stressed out when strangers come over, but now things are REALLY bad. Also, I'm having the worst year of my life so my stress is probably quite palpable and can't be helping. I'm in contact with his vet and she's doing her...

Hey everyone, My cat has had it really rough the past three weeks. He's been in intensive care for what they believe ended up being a sinus infection that went into his brain. Initially it was nine days of hospitalization which included getting him healthy enough for an MRI, finding the...

My cat, Guapo, is possibly the sweetest cat I have ever met. When I went to meet him at the shelter, I had to sign a bite waiver because he'll get overstimulated and bite people. He bit me, but I ended up getting him anyway. After getting home, we had some minor overstimulation and biting...

Sorry, but as usual, this is a long post. I have two cats: Claws and Guapo. They're both great, lovey cats. Claws had been an only cat for a couple of years, but he needed a playmate and as soon as my boyfriend and I moved to a larger apartment, we got him Guapo. Initially, things were great...

I love my vet. They're wonderful and take great care of my cat. They're a little expensive, but I can afford it for how good they are with him and how much I like them. However, he has really bad teeth and they suggested another dental. I'd say he needs one every couple of years due to bad...

This is long so bear with me, and thanks in advance. My cat, Claws, and I have moved in with my parents for two months. They have a cat named Toby. Alone, Toby is very sweet. Toby has lived with other cats at different times. There were issues with the last one, but eventually they worked them...

My cat has IBS, so now he's on a single protein diet with a B12 shot every other week. I thought we had everything settled, except every time I give him his shot he JUMPS. I've been doing it while he eats since he stays still. He's fine until I actually push the plunger on the syringe. Tent the...

Is this the right place? Sorry, not sure! I love my cat and while I don't really need two cats, I think he needs a companion. I should say, I think he needs someone to play with and to keep him company when I'm gone. I'm the focus of all of his attention unless he's asleep, and if I go away for...

Ok, I know all cats are obsessed with food. But Claws' love of it seems to be growing. Originally I could leave kibble out all day and he'd graze that while eating wet food when it was set down. That was ages ago, though. Now he eats everything the second I put it down so he gets his two meals...

My cat had a really bad URI when I got him and has been susceptible to them. He gets some brown discharge in the corners of his eyes and every once in awhile I have to clean it out. The vet said it's most likely due to damage to his sinuses from being so sick and is no big deal. The problem is...

Just wondering. My family has always taken cats to the vet when they have a cold and look miserable. They get a little antibiotic shot and a vitamin boost and seem to be feeling better in no time. My ex went away for the weekend and delivered my current cat (his cat at the time but he was going...

My cat is hyperactive, and I was wondering if anyone had a quality toy that they'd recommend for either when I'm not home, or something I can bring out or turn on when I am home and want to be left alone. The Cat's Meow was great until it broke, and the last two have literally been broken since...

My cute little animal used to be super cuddly. There's another thread that explains why he's probably less cuddly, and as far as I can tell it seems legit. (http://www.thecatsite.com/t/44900/my-cat-isnt-affectionate-anymore) Basically, he's happy and secure. Makes sense to me. He still demands...

It never ends. There is always a new issue with my adorable cat. (And this one isn't even his fault!) Ok, he's gained a bit of weight. When we first got him, his foster mom was trying to put weight on him and he was about 7 pounds. He was getting 3 oz of Wellness Wet Food and 1/4 cup of Taste...
