My cat is sick and needs to take liquid medicine and it is actually impossible to make him take any! I just don't know what to do anymore. He needs the medicine to get rid of a parasite. If you guys can give any tips on giving liquid medicine to cats or your own experiences that would be so...

My poor baby has had this parasite, Giardia, for over a year, plus possibly tapeworm. So I just wanted to know if anyone else's cat has had this parasite and can share their experiences. It's so frustrating. We tried the medicine for Giardia (and that was near impossible to shove down his...

I didn't really know what forum to put this in but it's health related.   I saw an article about how having cats as a young child is related to the child having schizophrenia later in life.  Anyone know about this? How accurate is it? It's making me kinda nervous.  I guess this is more human...

Hi everyone,  This question goes to all of you who teach your cats tricks! :) So I have been trying to teach my cat simple tricks and so far have been getting mixed results.  I have gotten him to sit and to beg (going on hind legs--and it's adorable!!) but this it and I have not been able to...

I posted a thread about this before--but my cat pees all over my basement carpet.  It has become a routine: He pees, I wipe it up and tear up the carpet (since it is soaked through and ruined), then he goes a week or two without peeing, but then he finds a new place to pee and the whole cycle...

So a couple months ago I noticed white mucusy stuff on the rear of my cat.  I did some research and assumed it was just mucus.  I assumed he was fine because we had just taken him to the vet for his kitten check up since we had just gotten him.  I thought they would have told us if he had worms...

Hi all,  My house constantly smells!  When they go #2 it stinks!  Like more than I think is reasonable.  One of my cats is also extremely gassy.  So are there changes in diet I should be making?  What does it mean if my cats are stinky?   Also any suggested litter brands?  Currently I am using...

I found what looks like cat throw up.  But it looks weird because the food pellets are still whole--as if they haven't been digested.  I have two cats so I'm not sure which one it is, but for the most part they both seem healthy.   What should I do?  Is throwing up a big concern?  Should I take...

I've had my cats for awhile now and I just have so many comments/questions about their sometimes strange behavior!  If anyone could even answer a few that would be much appreciated! 1. When they watch outside and see birds they make weird noises.  Like a chirping noise.  What does this mean...

Hi everyone!  I am at such a loss at what to do with my cat's problems.  I know this is yet another thread about cat urination issues but please please please any advice would be helpful, as my family is sick of my cat's problems and wants to get rid of him :(    Sorry in advance for how long...

Hi everyone! I am having some litter box issues! So a little background: I first had one cat but he was very hyper so we got him a friend. They are about 5 months apart. We introduced them and it went pretty smoothly. They have been together for almost three months. Occasionally one will...

So I have three wonderful amazing pets-- 2 cats and a dog, I just recently got the second cat and that has messed up the whole meal time dynamic a lot! Problem number 1: My dog is a lab so he eats everything, including my cat's food.  Problem number 2: The cats.  They eat each other's food.  I...

Hi everyone I have a one year old siamese mix.  Anyways I got a second cat (to provide a companion for my first)  and it made me realize how anti-social my first cat is in comparison with the second.  My second cat constantly wants to be held and pet whereas my first cat will not let me touch...

How do you teach a cat their name?  I just got a second cat and would like to teach him his name!  My first cat seems to kinda know his name.  He looks at me enough to make me think it is not just a coincidence when he looks at me when I say his name.  But at the same time he will only respond...

Can someone tell me what friendly cat play looks like? I just introduced my cats and can't tell if they are being friendly. Here is what they do: -paw at each other's faces -make this weird noise in their throats-doesn't sound like growling-it kinda just reminds me of the noise my dog makes...

So when I got the kitten from the foster care owner she said the whole litter had runny poop so she took them to the vet and had them on medication and should be better.  Well when I got home he still had runny poops and when I called her she said it was completely normal-his stomach was just...

So i just got the sweetest kitten.  I rescued him and he is a 3 month old domestic shorthair mix, and oh so cute!  My resident cat is a 10 month old siamese mix.  They both have similar personalities.  They are super crazy hyper/playful but like a good cuddle when they are tired-so since they...

I'm getting a second cat-and I think I should switch my resident cat from free feeding to meal times.  When I originally got my cat I was going to do two meals a day but he would take forever to eat so i switched him to free feeding leaving out a half a cup of food all day.  But I feel like...

I'm getting a second cat and i'm so excited.  I think my current cat could really use a friend.  Iv'e done all the research about introducing a second cat, but can someone tell me what to expect?  Like what are your daily routines with two cats?  Do you feed them in two separate places?  Do they...

My cat LOVES being up anywhere high.  But recently he has found a new high perch which I really do not think is safe but I have no way of stopping him. It's kinda hard to describe but there is a ledge about waist level and he jumps from this waist level ledge up to  a much higher ledge that is...
