The bowls are metallic but I do not wash them after every meal. That could potentially be a cause. I feed him chicken-based dry food of the brand Brit, and mostly beef-based wet food of the brand Whiskas. The cats love them and the vet recommended the Brit, he said Whiskas is okay but not the...

Hello everyone, My cat has developed these red spots on his belly and head (between the ears and eyes). Furthermore, he has "black hair" under his chin. I am unsure what those are but google searches have pointed me to acne. I am going to take him to the vet, but as this issue is not new, I am...

Cheers all for the replies. Just wanted to make an update, the redness and swelling is gone and the claws are slowly but nicely growing back. And luckily there is no infection. I think the risk of infection is gone cause it appears the wound is sealed by nail now but I'll keep cleaning it just...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Where I live vets aren't very busy, we don't even need appointments so we're good in that front. I was just worried that the claws may not grow back because he enjoys jumping and climbing around the house a lot, it would be a shame for him not to be able to do...

Ok so today I noticed my cat has a few nails missing on his back feet. Yesterday he had them and today he doesn't. He's using the litterbox, he's jumping, not showing absolutely any sign of discomfort until touched. Even I feel hurt when I see him jumping like that. But when I push his paw to...

Long story but the silly boy scared himself so much that he started to growl at himself...he put his head inside the handle of a plastic bag and the noise scared him so much he destroyed a lot of things, urinated and pooped on his way and growled etc etc.... The problem is that now his right...

He's 9 months old male, neutered, and recently he has gone rogue! He's always been a bit grumpy but he's never gone all out destroying everything on his path like he's been doing since last week. He's chewing on all cables he can find and is completely cutting them. He's scratching the rugs...

This will be my first Holiday Season with cats inside. I'm sure they'd just kick the tree down if I put it up. Anyone got any tips, suggestions etc for decorating the home, etc? How do you do it yourself? Do your balls of fur mess with it, etc?

With winter coming we have to change some litterbox routines because we will not heat the whole house and we do not want the cat to stay on the cold side of the house. We will obviously have to keep the doors shut for heat to stay in the heated rooms. Currently the cat's litterbox is on the area...

I have two questions. 1. So my kittens may have calcium deficiency, the vet didn't think so but he judged based on the calcium that's supposed to be in the commercial food. I think the way they walk is weird. Their back legs are not as straight as you'd expect them to be. How can I give them...

Thanks for the replies, The idea actually is to keep him forever if a good home cannot be found. The problem? By keeping 2 cats I'm already reaching the maximum spending I can afford for pets. As a consequence, I have to cut on some costs like good beds, high quality food (I have to buy the...

Hello, So the kitten has been rescued after being born to a feral cat. He's 4 and half months old now and I am unable to find him a permanent home. I already have a cat and I cannot afford 2. I've been unable to find him a home in this country so I want to transport him elsewhere. I do not live...

Thanks for all the useful replies =) Ok so I'll update you on the issue. After posting this I googled a bit and saw how catnip looks like, then went out to see if there is any. There is this plant in my garden that all stray and feral cats bite and smell. I always thought they dug behind it to...

If this is not the correct forum please move it but I didn't know where to post, I judged that this was the best place. So I am interested to plant some catnip. In short, instead of buying the dry catnip, I want to plant it on a pot of soil and let the cat smell it, eat it and whatever else he...

The problem is the vets won't do him until he is 5.5 months old. So I have to cope with this for 45 more days, if he doesn't get adopted by then. I am just fostering him atm but still have been unable to find him a forever home :/ ...I am trying to discipline him a bit before he can go because...

He is almost 4 months old, will be 4 months in 4 days. Whenever we open the door he bolts outside. Normally we open the door slowly and stop him but this is becoming annoying now, he is restricting us too much. Even with all that restriction he has managed to go out 5 times until now, today was...

He is almost 4 months old, he only eats wet kitten food. He doesn't eat dry food, he doesn't eat raw or cooked meats, or bones, or anything...even with the wet food he is hesitant because clearly he doesn't like it. I've tried many brands but to be honest I cannot afford Royal Canin in the long...

Good luck :)

It is completely normal, my cat does the same when I give him flea treatment on the back. Did you put it high enough on the neck? Even if she licks some of it it's nothing serious, it is designed to taste very bad to force her not to lick it off. She will lick and scratch with the back legs...

I think you or someone else should go as well. Don't let your boyfriend handle both of them, if not you then someone else should go with him. The cats wont hate you, no worries. What you should expect after the surgery: They will sleep for at least 24 hours, maybe wake up to demand food or to...
